A/N: Chappie, fifteen I think? Not to sure anyways to those who did review thanks and to those who hate my story and didn't tell me so thanks and to those who never even bothered to read it………………..FUCK YOU! This Chappie requires knowledge of That Was The, This Is Now, however the ending will not be used-nor the book, just the characters-for now oh and no Cathy came yet!
Justine's POV
I sat around back and watched everybody. I do that sometimes, when I'm bored or tired or something usually. The gang was falling apart. Johnny never kicked it with us anymore and Dally had left. Two-Bit was seriously depressed by this Shannon girl. The thing is I know a thing or two about said girl. Her mother is insane, and very scary. She didn't want Shannon going out with Two-Bit and she has a way of getting into your head. She probably told Shannon what to do. I felt bad for her, she didn't deserve that….and neither did Bitz. Man I was pissed by then. Dally didn't think he'd be back-he thought that he was gonna die, I don't think so, him and that Jess girl will come back once they've finished whatever business they need to in New York, they're like this guy I know-Mark, he's like a lion and he can get out of anything.
Sitting there, smoking I thought about Steve and how he was chasing this girl, Randy's girl and how he cared so much about her. All he wanted was this girl-Christine and that was that. He was in love, he knew that she was getting married next month and he wanted to go to the wedding, he stalked her really. Going to her house at night to watch her, following her and trying to get all the same classes as her in school, it creeped me out.
And then there was Soda, it had been awhile and their baby had been born, beautiful and healthy they had named her Rebecca and they were all living happily when IT happened, Soda got his draft letter. He was leaving Monday and it was Thursday today, he had tried to patch things up with Darry and they seem to be getting along okay-nothing as good as before though.
As I sit here I can see Emily and Ponyboy laughing and joking and kissing each other occasionally, I wish I had someone like that. I wish so much. Man, how I wish. Angela Sheppard was standing around watching them. She wanted Ponyboy-I knew that. Everyone knew that, everyone except Pony that is.
Then I saw Alexis coming towards me hanging off Bryon's arm. Bryon was a huge Playboy and Alexis was a bit of a slut, but she was my friend, just like Angela. As I stared out I could see Mark coming towards them with his girlfriend, a bleach blond, Kelly or something.
And then the true flower child and his 'friend' Lily. Man were those two cute.
Lily's POV
I watched M&M intently, He was so beautiful, sitting there, reading his poem to me. It was very good. So good that I almost cried. "M&M are you okay?" He was looking a little tired and his eyes were big and red. "Yeah I'm fine" he tells me, whatever, there was no way that he was okay, no way in hell.
We saw Justine and Bryon and Mark and that hanging around and so we wandered over to them. They were talking about gangs and Socs though and I didn't feel like that, besides M&M was not into that. I frowned a bit as we wandered into the school but didn't say anything. I never did say much anyways.
Courtney's POV
I held a pack of ice to my arm and sighed. Darry was going back to his old self and I was beginning to hate him again. He wanted to be big and strong and save us all-he should focus more on saving himself. He came in just then and I could see the blood on his sleeve, "Darry" I tried but he gave me an annoyed look, why didn't he get it? He wasn't that far gone and I wanted to help him.
I wondered then if maybe it was from when our baby died, if that was the reason why then it was partly my fault, and partly I was getting back what I deserved.
But really I couldn't think like this. Bitz was in the living room drinking whiskey and Darry was in here with blood on his sleeve and Steve was out chasing some girl who was getting married and Johnny was on drugs, Justine was lost inside herself, Soda was drafted, Taylor was left alone and Dally and Jess were off fighting. Pony and Emily were taking things father than what was good for them and-suddenly it came to me, Darry thought he had to save the family when really, the fact that I showed up at this time in their lives shows, I have to be the one to do it. It HAS to be me, awwwwwww shit man, fuck it all.
Emily's POV
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwww" Ponyboy "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Pony was slowly kissing my neck and running his hands down my back, stroking small circles of skin, making me moan softly. He laughed huskily "I guess that tells us what our relationship is huh?" I swallowed a lump in my throat and laughed to, "ummmmmm hmmmm" I managed to get out as we laid down in the truck. God I loved Ponyboy.
A/N: Please review! I'll give you a cookie! Anyways please do that. And for anyone who knows me Noel will be in the next chappie 'laughs evilly' oh and guys I seriously want to know what you think, even if you hate it tell me what you don't like! Peace.
