-I got another idea!
Chapter 15: The Loss
"This is getting interesting."
"Glad you're enjoying it."
"I'd enjoy it more if you'd continue."
……….
Johnny and Curly showed up to the party early like Tim said. When they entered, Two-Bit, Dally and Steve were sitting on the floor. All of them looked at Johnny as he entered.
"Johnny! What's going on?"
"What do you mean?" asked Johnny. He was acting. He knew what they were talking about.
"Your dad," started Steve. "We saw that he had been beaten. Did you do it?"
"Maybe."
Steve and Two-Bit looked at Johnny with confused faces. Dally just sat there and played it cool. He figured that Johnny could take care of himself now. Being tough like him would help him out a lot. Besides. He had always wanted to beat the blood out of Johnny's dad. He's glad he finished the job. Dally jumped in and changed the subject. So that they would stop bothering Johnny.
"So how's the war going with you two?" asked Dally to Steve and Two-Bit.
"We've been doing fine. But something's weird," answered Steve.
"Some Tiber Street Tigers have been going at Soda, Darry and Ponyboy. Soda said he didn't want to be involved in the war. They're probably going at them for no reason."
"How do they know who they are though?" asked Dally.
Steve shrugged his shoulders. Johnny knew why they were going after the Curtis. Pony was involved in that little jumping. They're probably after him for that. But it seemed like too much effort for just a jumping. It's like the Curtis have something the Tiber Street Tigers want.
Some people showed up and the party finally got started. Johnny never danced at parties. And he wasn't going to start now. He just sat there drinking, while the nasty girls walked past him.
He looked over to the left and a smirk hit his face. Two-Bit had blondes all over him. That must have been a dream come true for him.
"Hey Cade."
Johnny looked at who called his name. There was Tim with two broads by his side. He had a beer bottle in his hand.
"This here is Candy and this is Pearl," yelled Tim trying to get his voice over the loud music. He jabbed his head towards both ladies as he said their names.
"Which one do you want?" asked Tim with a smile.
Johnny looked at the girls. Both Candy and Pearl were beautiful, but Candy was a little too tall. Pearl seemed around his age, and she seemed the right size. He pointed to her.
Tim let Pearl loose and walked off with Candy. Pearl jumped onto Johnny's lap and whispered into his ear.
Johnny's eyes widened. It then turned into a smile. He looked at the girl and nodded. They got off the couch and walked up the stairs. Johnny got in front of her and grabbed her wrist. He then led her around everyone hanging on the stairs and then into Curly's room. He shut the door and locked it. The closed door blocked majority of the noise. Johnny turned around and saw that Pearl was already on the bed.
"Is your real name, Pearl?" he asked.
"You can just call me that," she answered.
Johnny loved her voice. It sounded cute and beautiful at the same time. This lady right here could grow up to be a model. Shoot. She could be a model right now.
"Is this your first time?" asked Pearl.
"Y-yeah."
"Well. I'm excited. I just met Tim. This is my first time too. How old are you?"
"Sixteen. What's your age?"
"Seventeen."
"No difference," said Johnny as he yanked off his jacket and his t-shirt.
Pearl took hint of this and started to throw off his jeans and then her shirt. Johnny didn't waist any time and he climbed into the bed with her. They then pulled the covers over them and –
……..
"Hold on. Hold on! I don't wanta hear about that!"
The guy looked at his partner suspiciously.
"If I recall. Don't you record your experiences?"
"That's different."
"Whatever. I'll skip it if it'll keep you quiet."
………….
Johnny woke up the next morning. He wiped his eyes and then remembered what had happened. He looked around. The girl must have already left. Johnny just stretched and put his clothes back on. He slung his jacket over his shoulder though. It was hot in that house.
As Johnny walked down the stairs, the Tim Shepard gang was sitting there relaxing. Some were still passed out on the couch. Tim started to clap as Johnny entered.
"Congratulations Cade. First time, huh?"
"Huh? Oh. You mean last night."
Tim nodded with a smile on his face. Curly then walked in.
"I hate to burst your bubble, but the cops will be looking for you."
Johnny turned around to Curly.
"For what?"
"Your dad's in a coma. If he can remember who knocked him out, the cops will be after you for something."
Johnny got hesitant. He was in some deep stuff.
"What can I do?" he asked worriedly.
Tim was shuffling some cards and he answered.
"The best thing to do is to leave town."
Johnny then looked at the oldest Shepard brother.
"Leave town!" he repeated.
