Tim's POV

When Arianna left, the gang started talking about how lucky I was to have tricked her into believing she was my girlfriend.

"How far are you taking this, man?" Cam, one of the gang members asked me.

"As far as I can take it" I said with a cocky smile.

"So does that mean you're gonna lay her?" Cam asked.

"Of course" I said crossing my arms.

"I bet you won't" Harris, another member yelled.

"I'm gonna get laid! You'll see!" I yelled back.

"I dare you to lay her tomorrow." Harris said.

"Why wait until tomorrow? I dare you to lay her now!" Cam said. Harris and Cam gave each other low high fives and stared at me.

"Fine" I said. I left the lot in a hurry and practically ran home, leaving Curly and Angela behind. Once I arrived home, I checked whole house, but Arianna wasn't home. I doubled check to make sure, but she wasn't here. So I ran all around town thinking of where she can be. Then I got hit with an idea, she's probably with Dally and the other greasers. Then I ran as fast as I could to the Curtis's house.

Arianna's POV

I was freaked out on what was going on. I was more confused then ever. This kid is now telling me he's my boyfriend, but that's impossible, because Tim told me he was my boyfriend; unless one of them is lying to me.

After a few minutes of Dally and Soda fighting, another guy came in the house.

"Hey Ari" The boy said.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Very funny" He said slapping me playfully on the back.

I got freaked out and tugged on Dally's shirt.

"Dally, who's he?" I asked

The boy who just walked in, wrinkled his forehead and his eyes looked a little watery, but he looked far from crying.

"What's she talking about, Dal?" The boy asked.

"Two-Bit…She, um…" Dally began but it seemed like he didn't want to continue.

"Arianna has amnesia" Soda said aloud. "From what Dally told me, him, you, Arianna, and Nicki were fighting the Shepherds. Arianna got bashed on the head, and now she doesn't remember anything." Soda looked teary too.

The boy, who I'm guessing was called Two-Bit sat on the couch and buried his head in his hands.

"What the fuck! How could this have happened! I should've watched over her, but I was to busy getting knocked up." Two-Bit was now angry and upset at the same time.

"It's not your fault man, you were badly hurt. You couldn't do anything to help her." Dally said trying to calm Two-Bit down.

I was starting to tremble. I looked at Two-Bit who was staring at me back.

"Arianna, it's me, your cousin." Two-Bit said grabbing onto my shoulders. I had no clue who he was. I started to cry. If what he was telling me was true, that he was my cousin made me feel even worse. I saw a few tears roll down his cheeks but he wiped them off quickly.

"I - - I'm sorry…I don- - don't remember you." I said. It was hard talking while I was crying; I tried to stop crying but I couldn't.

Soda started tearing too. He slammed his fist on the kitchen table and then walked out of the living room. Suddenly, Tim came barging into the house.

"Thank god Ari, I found you. When I didn't see you at home I thought you got kidnapped. And apparently you did." Tim said glaring at Dally.

"Hey man, she doesn't belong to you!" Dally yelled.

"She's my girl, man. Back off!" Tim yelled.

"Why the fuck did you play with her mind! Or a better question, why the fuck did you hit her!" Two-Bit said. His tears dried up and his eyes looked like they had flames in them. He got up from the couch and ran towards Tim. Two-Bit grabbed Tim by his shirt collar and hung him high.

"Let the fuck go of me!" Tim yelled struggling to get free.

Then Soda came running into the living room.

"Why the fuck are you here?" Soda yelled. Two-Bit then dropped Tim. Suddenly, Tim punched Two-Bit on the face. Soda and Dally then held Tim by his arms, holding him back. Two-Bit was about to make a strike.

"STOP!" I yelled. "I had about enough of this! I might not remember a lot of things anymore, but I know my old self wouldn't want you guys fighting!" I yelled. Tears flooded down my cheeks again. I tried to wipe the away, but more just came down. Dally and Soda let go of Tim.

"Aww babe, it's okay." Tim said walking towards me; trying to give me a hug. I backed away.

"I don't even know if you are my boyfriend…" I said staring at the floor. "Soda said he was my boyfriend too, and I know I wasn't cheating on anyone."

"He's a fucking lair, Arianna!" Tim exclaimed.

"Don't believe him Ari." Soda interrupted. "He just wants to get laid, is all. We had something special though." Soda was walking closer to me.

I couldn't take this moment. I ran out of the house and to my luck it started to rain hard.

"Arianna come back!" Tim yelled.

"Ari, wait!" Two-Bit yelled.

I ran as fast as I could down the block. I had no idea where I was going, but it seemed like I was heading towards the park. Once I stopped behind a tree I started crying more and tried my hardest to remember anything from my past. I tried hard to remember Two-Bit most of all, since he was 'my cousin'.

"Arianna?" Tim and Two-it both yelled. They were on the other side of the tree.

"This is your entire fault! If you didn't come barging into the house I could've helped her to remember me!" Two-Bit yelled

"If you just left me and Arianna alone she would've been at my house!" Tim yelled back.

"If you didn't hit her in the head, we wouldn't be in this fucking problem!" Two-Bit yelled louder. Then I heard someone take a punch at skin. I peeked out if the tree. Two-bit was on the floor, rubbing the side of his cheek that Tim punched. And Tim was standing and was about to take another swing at Two-Bit.

"Stop it! Stop it!" I yelled. Tim continued to punch Two-Bit.

"Arianna you have to remember me!" Two-Bit yelled. "Remember the good times we use to have!" Two-Bit said while blocking Tim's attacks.

"I'm trying, but I can't!" I said crying, but thanks to the rain nobody could tell.

"Please, remember!" Two-Bit said, and then Tim hit Two-Bit in the stomach which blew all his air out. My head started hurting, and then I got a flashback.

-Flashback-

"Hey Keith" I yelled. I was running towards a boy.

"Hey Ari, It's been awhile hasn't it?" The boy was actually Two-Bit.

"Yeah, it has. I missed you! You're like my favorite cousin, ya know that!" I said hugging him.

-End flashback-

"Keith!" I yelled.

Tim and Two-Bit both froze. I remembered Keith! My cousin, my favorite cousin! I started running to him. He had his arms wide open and had the biggest grin on face. I ran quicker and quicker. It seemed like slow motion when I ran to him. When I finally made it to him I gave him a tight squeezing hug. I started to cry even more.

"Keith, I remember, I remember!" I said not letting go.

"Yeah, it's me." He said kissing me on the top of my head. I heard him mumble "Thank the lord."

When I let go of Keith I noticed Tim had left.

"So Tim really isn't my boyfriend?" I asked.

"Nope"

"Oh, well I have to return his sisters clothing. I hope Angela doesn't mind." I said giggling and wiping my tears at the same time.

"Let's go back to my house." Keith said, "We'll visit everyone else tomorrow."

"Keith, I don't remember anybody else but you." I said.

"Don't worry, don't worry" Keith hugged me again and let out a few tears.

Aww what a touching moment! It reminds me of the movie "A Little Princess" hehehe. Props to that movie!
