Last chapter

"What'ya think you're doing here socs?" a guy was standing at their table looking at them with hatred in his eyes, behind him were four others. Mary recognised the guy that had run into her as one of them; he was smirking at her now, his eyes cold and mean.

"What ya looking at girly?" the guy at the front of the others spat out his dark eyes boring into Mary's. She gulped as she felt the cold from his glare iceing her up inside.

Jimmy was still chewing slowly, taking his time as he looked straight ahead of him, ignoring the angry young men hovering over them. Mary opened her mouth, but no sound came out and she closed it again swiftly as she realized she had opened it, the guy in front of her smirked evilly at that and nudged the guy next to him in the side and soon all of them were staring at her smirking.

"What's the matter doll, too scared to speak?" the leader said in a silky voice and all of them laughed wickedly. At that Jimmy had heard enough, he turned to look at them his eyes flashing.

"Leave her the fuck alone man!" he said glaring at the leader of the gang who now had his whole attention at Jimmy.

"What the fuck's your problem?" Jimmy asked in a hard and cold voice that Mary didn't recognise to belong to her brother. He was sitting down still but he had an air about him that stated that he could be up in a second if needed.

"You're my fucking problem, you richy-rich asshole soc" the guy spat out gritting his teeth "You and that broad, you think you can just waltz in here because you have a good looking broad with you?" he was talking in an angry yet controlled and low voice, that was scaring Mary even more then screaming would have.

"Fucking socs" he spat out viciously under his breath.

Jimmy was really pissed off now, she could tell and she didn't like it.

"What the hell did you call me?" he hissed out dangerously. The guy in front of them laughed as if they were the stupidest people he'd even met.

"I said fucking socs" he repeated calmly. Jimmy just looked at them, he didn't really get it but he wasn't about to show them that so he just looked at them coldly.

"You're the leader of them?" he asked measuring the other four guys up, they were all tall but not to big, some of them looked quite thin underneath their jackets and shirts. He wasn't going to fight them but they looked to be the kind of guys he could do business with.

Mary drew a sharp breath at her brother's question, she knew what he was thinking and she didn't like it, her brother shouldn't hang around guys like that who would just attack people like that out of nowhere. She didn't mind that her brother was stealing and all that stuff but she just didn't feel comfortable around these guys, it was the way they kept staring at her, looking her up and down, smirking at her fear. She wasn't used to being around guys like that, who would check her out so openly.

"For now yeah" the guy answered with spite in his voice but laughter in his eyes.

Suddenly they dark haired guy at the back who had walked into Mary earlier walked up to the leader.

"Actually he isn't, why you wondering soc?"

"Just interested in having a word with him" Jimmy said in an uninterested voice as he looked down at his fingernails. The guy in front of him chuckled, apparently amused by Jimmy's attempt to look uninterested.

"Well then spill" he said simply, still smirking crossing his arms over his leather clad breast.

At that Mary had had enough and stood up glaring at her brother who met her glare with one of his owns, she just shook her head slowly and started to walk of.

She would in no way be around as he threw himself into another scenario like that in Chicago which had almost gotten him locked up if it hadn't been for their father personally promising the police chief that they would move out of the state. Mary cared little about her fathers efforts at holding her brother out of troubles but she did care about her brother seeking out trouble.

She would have no place in it so she left but she didn't get far before she felt his hand grab her arm roughly, she turned to look at him, his eyes were pleading with hers but she didn't give in. The greasers stood behind him watching the exchange with mirth in their cold eyes. She didn't like them and didn't want her brother to hang around them but she still shrugged her shoulders and signed swiftly so the others wouldn't pick up on it, she wasn't comfortable with people knowing she was mute;

"I'll wait outside"

Jimmy got the car keys out of his trouser pocket and gave it to her smiling softly at her. As she walked out she heard the dark haired greaser say;

"Well then soc, what ya want?"


Jimmy came walking up to the car with light steps, his eyes glittering and a smug smile plastered on his face. She knew from his looks the talk with the greasers had gone well, she sighed and wondered why he always had be so stupid, those greasers could've eaten him alive.

"Now I know what's up everybody's asses" he stated as he started up the car still smiling smugly. She didn't answer him; she just waited for him to explain.

"Those guys in there are greasers they live on the east side of town, apparently not that fancy place" he said smirking at his sister " their considered hoods by the socs, snobs who live on the west side" he was chuckling now "us".

Mary tried to register all of this and concluded it was stupid. They'd started all of that fighting over them living on the wrong side of town. It was unbelievable. Although she did see how people would think them to be hoods, but it wasn't based on their clothes she thought so but because of their emotionless expressions and cold eyes. Besides she also thought that her brother was a hood and still she knew he was nice deep down, so perhaps the greasers weren't so bad, maybe just misunderstood?

"So you finished with them now?" she signed to him in short and angry motions.

"What?" Jimmy said not picking up on all she was signing as he had his eyes on the road.

"I said; finished with them now?" she repeated slower.

"Yes, it's all set up" he responded that smug look creeping up his face again.

Mary really didn't want to know exactly what was set up, but she did now it wasn't something their father would be proud of and that made her smile to herself. Their father deserved every bit of trouble Jimmy caused him, he was an asshole. He had never cared about them; they were just failures in his eyes.

She thought about all the times he'd had business partners over for dinner and made Jimmy and Mary sit upstairs just because he was ashamed to show them of as his kids. Jimmy never dressed right in his eyes, his hair was to long and his jeans to tight and Mary was mute which was a big embarrassment to their father.

She never did get if it was because she couldn't speak or because of the fact that he couldn't understand when she signed.

They drove the rest of the way home in silence contemplating what had happened and what was to come.
