Home Once Again…

Brandy's POV

Sooner or later I had to face the fact and go home again. I dreaded that fact, but this time I had protection with me. Ponyboy, Soda and Darry all came over to help me get my things together. Darry really felt sorry for me so, he decided that I could stay with them. He was going to let my stay in his parents' room because no one ever went in there after the accident. Just as I walked up to my house I say that my dad's car was in the drive way and I instantly grew more cautious of what I was going to say to my father.

"Dad are you home?" silence then I heard glass shatter and I knew that he was drunk.

Darry turned to me and asked "Is he okay? I mean if he's drunk I don't want you to be here right now." He said in a very stern tone.

"Darry I need to do this. I need to stand up to him, and show him that I'm not afraid anymore." I said as I neared the kitchen where the glass shatter from.

Pony came beside me and said "I'm right here for you." As he looked into my troubled eyes as I say HIM.

"Dad, I have something important to tell you." I said in a very irritable tone.

"Where the hell were you, and what the hell were you thinking bring strangers in to my house?" as he struck me across the face. I grew more angry than scared by this.

"I'm leaving and these people aren't strangers there my friends, and IM LEAVING THIS HELL WHOLE FOREVER!" I screamed this in his face only to get hit even harder, as I fell to the floor. I could tell this was upsetting the entire Curtis'. That's when Darry stepped forward.

"What the hell you thinking boy? You gonna fight me?" he said as he leaned over to him.

"Sir, I think you don't have to hit Brandy like that." He said in somewhat of a calm tone. But I really knew he was getting angry. I didn't even tell that Ponyboy was right by his side until he spoke up.

"Mister, you have no right to hit my girlfriend, I love her to much to see her get hurt by a worthless piece of trash like you!" I was shocked by what pony, had just said but I was glad that they all were here with me. Soda was helping me get up off the floor, and I started to run to my room but I couldn't because he grabbed me once again. But this time it was him who got hit in the jaw. I couldn't even believe that I had it in me to hit my own father. I was just as shocked as the Curtis'. I told them to go out side and wait or me in the truck, because my dad was flat on the floor passed out by how hard I really hit him.

"I will be okay I promise now go!" I said as I rushed to grab anything of personal value to me. But when I came across an old photo of my mom, I just stared at it wondering why she had to leave me here with HIM. I didn't even notice I was being watched, until Ponyboy came up next to me to see what it was I had been looking at. "Is that here?" he asked me, I could speak so I just nodded my head silently. Then coming to my senses I turned to him tears coming down my face and I couldn't help but cry, for the loss of my mom.

"Its okay Brandy, but I think we better go fast I think your dad is starting to wake up."

"Okay hold on let me get my bag." And that was the last time I thought I would go to my house again. Later to find out it wasn't going to be.
