Next Day:
Audrey's POV-
When I got up and got dressed I went downstairs to get breakfast.
Ace was asleep on the couch. I had an evil little plan to get him up. I just hoped I wouldn't die afterwards.
I went into the kitchen and cooked two eggs and got two plates down from the cabinet. Then made toast for Ace and me.
Then I got a cup of ice water and went back to the living room. I poured the water on Ace and ran to my room.
"Audrey! When I get you…" Ace yelled.
I sat against my bedroom door laughing. Sometimes Ace was funny when he got mad.
"Audrey! Open the damn door!" Ace yelled hitting my door.
"No!" I yelled back.
"If you don't I'll kick the door down!"
"That'll be the day." I responded.
"You gotta come out some time." Ace said, and then I heard his bedroom door close.
I laughed again. I'd just have to wait awhile before I could go out and my breakfast was getting cold.
A few minutes later I heard someone knocking at the door.
"Audrey, get the door." Ace yelled.
"Why don't you get it?"
"I'm busy."
"Doing what?" I asked.
"None of your business."
I stood up and peeked out my door. I didn't see Ace so I ran down the stairs before Ace could come out.

I opened the door, "Hey Dal."
"Hey. You wanna go hang out with us for a while?"
"Uh, yeah." I told him. "Whose car?"
"Mine."
"What is it?"
"1957 Chevrolet." Dallas said.
"Boss."
Dally gave me a questioning look.
"Tuff?"
"Yeah." We walked to the car.
"Hey Steve." I said.
"Hey doll."
I rolled my eyes and jumped in the backseat with Ponyboy, Johnny, and Soda. There was really only room for three people so I sat on Soda's lap.
"He gets all the luck." Steve said.
We all laughed, except for Dallas.
We stopped at the diner to get something to eat.
Then drove toward the back Harlow road.
Dallas had said something about wanting to fish. Like they'd catch anything with Sodapop jumping around.
We would probably end up swimming or something.
When we got to a clear spot by the river, I looked around. It looked just like the place Chris had told me about. The place they'd found that kid, Ray Brower.
We all got out of the car and started walking toward the water.
It didn't take long before me, Soda, and Pony were all in the water. Dallas, Steve, and Johnny were still standing on dry land.
"I don't have any dry clothes." I said as I got out of the water.
"That's ok, you can ride in the trunk." Steve joked.
"That's not funny." I said trying to pretend like I was mad.
"There's a blanket in the trunk you can sit on." Dally said lighting up a cigarette.

Dally and the boys dropped me off at my house around fiver o'clock that afternoon.
I noticed my dad's beat up old ford was sitting in the driveway so I tried to be as quiet as possible. I didn't want to make him mad.
I made it to my room and got clean clothes then headed off to the bathroom.

I was in my room when I heard dad yelling.
"You son of a bitch! You aren't any good for nothing!" He screamed. I winced at the sound. He was probably yelling at Ace.
Then I heard someone hit the floor. I closed my eyes and tried to block it out.
A little while later I heard Ace's bedroom door close.
I bit my lip and decided to go see if Ace was all right.
I knocked on his door.
"What?" Ace asked angrily.
I opened the door and went inside.
Ace was lying on his bed with his back turned toward the door.
"Ace, are you all right?" I asked nervously.
"Go away, Audrey." Ace ordered quietly. I knew my brother and he didn't like anyone to see him when he was down.
But I wanted to make sure he was all right. I could be just as stubborn as he was. I walked over and stood beside the bed.
"At least let me clean up those cuts?"
Ace sighed and tried to sit up. He winced in pain as soon as he moved, but he eventually made it up with a little help from me.
I cringed at the sighted. He had a black eye and blood was still coming from his mouth and nose. His ribs were probably in bad shape too.
"Where else are you hurt?" I asked to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Ace half-smiled, "Ribs."
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"You." Was all Ace said.
