Title- Outsider Jess

Chapter Title- New York

Disclaimer- I don't own The Outsiders

Note- All of you will hate me… I posted this, because the posting fairies were forcing me to do it by flicking me in the ear. It's the last chapter. How do you like that? That's 24 chapters in 9 days. If you review and you want, I have a nice idea for a sequel…

I got off the plane and instantly saw Danielle.

"Dan!" I shouted and hugged her.

"I've missed you Jess, but now we need to get to Mark."

"What's wrong with him?" I asked her when we got into her van.

"Pneumonia, it's really bad." I grew silent. I wanted her to drive faster, it seemed to take forever.

When we got into the house I followed Danielle into Mark's room. He was lying on his bed, and he was pale.

"Mark," I whispered and walked towards him. He said my name softly. I visited him often for the week. It wasn't hard; I slept in the next room.

I woke up late one morning and Danielle was leaning on the door frame. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she trembled. Danielle's mother and father were walking around, talking to people, and calling people. Her younger sister, whom was three, crawled into my lap.

"What's wrong with Mark, Jessi?" I looked towards Danielle.

"Oh Christine," Danielle said walking over to the bed and holding her sister.

"Christine, this may be hard for you to understand, but Mark's gone to heaven." I started to cry harder than I ever had, except for when my mother died.

I went to the funeral service, and stayed in New York longer than I expected. I don't think I was ever going back to see Steve and the rest of the gang. I got a job, and the first thing I did was send my paychecks to the gang. I needed to payback Steve and Two-Bit, as well as the Curtis brothers. I stopped sending them when I paid them back fully, with a little extra.

The End

If anybody would like a sequel, please mention it in your review. If I get enough reviews, I'm pretty sure I can work out a sequel for this story.
