Later that night I met Soda and the boys at the little house they were staying in. Ponyboy told me they'd rented it just for while they were there.

"How much longer are you guys in town?" I asked.

"We leave the day after tomorrow." Johnny said quietly.

"You guys can't leave! You haven't been here that long!" I protested.

I hung out with all the boys for a little while then went to talk to Dally for a while.

"I'll miss you guys." I told Dally.

"Then come with us."

"Dal you know I can't."

"I'll miss you too, Audi." Dally said and kissed me.

"Dally don't." I told him.

Dally stepped back and leaned against the porch railing.

"How come? Back in Tulsa we did more than kiss."

"But I have a boyfriend now." I explained to Dally.

"Yeah."

Later That Night (10:00)

"Where are we going Richie?" I asked.

"You'll see." He said smiling.

A little while later we arrived at the same spot we went to the night Richie asked me out.

"What are we doing here?" I asked Richie.

"Just thought we'd get away for a while." Richie said.

This was similar to the first time Richie had brought me out here.

He leaned in to kiss me.

"What are you guys doing up here?"

"Ace, you have the worst timing!" I said annoyed.

"I think it was pretty good, you two were starting to look pretty comfortable." Ace said.

Me and Richie exchanged glances.

"Ace, would you leave?" I asked as nicely as I could.

"Now that's not very polite Audrey." Ace said.

"So, I just want you to leave so we can get back to making out!" I told him. Richie laughed.

Ace looked at me, "You better not do anything." Then he left.

The Next Morning 9:00am

"Audrey, get dressed. I need to take you home before Ace gets pissed off." Richie said, shaking me awake.

"Hmm? What time is it?" I asked sleepily.

"9:00." Richie said handing me my shirt, shirt and undergarments.

It didn't take me long to get dressed and Richie drove me home.

"See you later." I said as I got out of the car.

"All right, babe." Eyeball said and drove off.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Where you been?" Ace asked as soon as I walked in the door.

"It was late when we got back and dad was home so I stayed over at Chris and Eyeball's house." It wasn't a complete lie.

"His dad wasn't there?" Ace questioned.

"No."

Ace kinda looked at me funny and went back to watching TV.

I went up to my room to get clean clothes and take a bath.

I'd been in the shower for twenty minutes when Ace knocked on the door.

"Audrey you have company." He said.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Hi Katie." I said as I walked into the living room.

"Hey."

"What's up?" I asked as I started to towel dry my hair.

"Nothing got bored at my house."

"Oh, ok. That's cool." I said.
