A/N: All right, so here's another update, no one reviews so does anyone even read? If you don't like it please review and tell me that? Okay, thanks.

Darry's POV

I packed up and left, just like that I was gone, with Courtney, yet gone nonetheless. Everyone was going to have too look after one another until I was back, I was worried about this, but Court gave me instructions not to worry about that though, so I was trying not to, note the 'trying'

Jess's POV

As soon as Darry and Courtney left I grinned, the fact that Dally and I were in charge made me laugh, they would have been better off leaving Bitz in charge, him and Shannon, then again, they really weren't the type that should be left in charge.

Currently sitting in the living room was Pony and Emily, Justine, M&M and Lily, Alexis and Bryon. Mark was out doing god knows what, him and his girlfriend, whatever her name had been, were broken up now, and Mark wasn't exactly the cleanest kid to begin with, plus he hated how Bryon spent all his time with Alexis instead of with him.

From inside the room you could hear some sort of conversation bubbling, just then there was a knock on the door, this was strange, nobody except the social worker person knocked on the door-and she wasn't due for another three weeks, it was either a new neighbor or-

"Open up-Police!"

Frowning I opened the door for them. "Hello ma'am, we have been told that you know a Johnny Cade and a Mark Henderson? (I don't remember Mark's last name) I sighed, "Yes, they're friends of ours, are they in some kind of trouble?" "Well yes, they've been arrested for possession" I knew what that meant, Justine came out of the living room then and looked at the cops, then at me "I knew something was up" she said clearly before running out of the house.

Lily's POV

Everyone had suddenly gone quiet and I wasn't sure why, the cops came in then, me and M&M were behind the couch where they couldn't see, I gave Alexis a look and the two of us scrambled out through one of the low-set windows, once out we ran to the lot.

"That was close" M&M stated, what was up with that anyways? I just shrugged, "Johnny and Mark got arrested" a voice said, I spun around and saw Justine sitting there, looking like she was ready to cry. "Oh my god! Justine I'm so sorry I-" "it's okay" she said, I need to go now, tell Dally that I'll be back soon, okay? There's just something that I need to do first". I nodded and she left, I knew what she had to do, she needed to do, no one could stop her from doing it. I turned to M&M, let's go someplace else, and so we started, going some place else, in a whole new direction.

A/N: Now review! I've been kind of sad and haven't been able to think of anything much lately so sorry about the long time in between updates. Peace.
