Maggie joked around as she walked around with Adam and Amy. All three of them still had popcorn from the movie and were having fun chucking it at each other. Maggie laughed a little before quieting down again.
"Welp, I gotta go!" she told them as she waved. "I don't want to get in trouble." she said sarcastically with a roll of her eyes before taking off down the street towards "home". She sighed heavily as she rounded the corner and came up on it. She could hear the t.v blaring and voices from inside already. She stomped up the stairs and wrenched open the door before waving at Darry who was sitting in his chair reading the paper.
"What's up, Mags?" Darry asked as he set his paper in his lap.
"Not much. Decided to come back early so I wouldn't get in trouble." she smirked at him as he glared at her.
"I ain't that me." he told her as she picked his paper back up.
"Whatever you say, Darry." she said and laughed a little.
"What's up, Superman?" Soda's voiced boomed as he and Steve walked in the door, both smiling like bandits. Maggie waved to them both as she readjusted herself so she was only taking up one side of the couch instead of all of it. Steve sat down next to her while Soda sat down on the floor.
"How were your dates?" Maggie asked as she stared at both of them. She really didn't care for Evie much. She was too much of a bitch. And Sandy was too good to be true. Maggie wished with all her heart that Soda would realize that too.
"Good." they both said together. Maggie nodded and looked over at Steve.
"Evie's a slut!" she mouthed to him. His smiled was wiped off of his face instantly and replaced by a glare. Maggie smirked evilly and kicked him with his foot. He glared at her even harder. She smirked some more before giving him the finger. She was trying to make him made so he would jump up and start something with her. She knew it wasn't very often when Steve was in a good mood and she was trying to get him down again, just to see what he would do. She kicked him again and in seconds he was on top of her holding her arms down to the couch.
"What was that?" he asked her playfully as she started tickling her with one hand as she held her hands down with the other. She laughed a little before trying to get free, but he was just too strong. She squirmed underneath him as she tickled her even more.
"Stop!" she pleaded with him as she squirmed even more.
"Say uncle." he told her as she tickled her even more and smirked.
"No!" she groaned. "Stop!" she told him again but he just kept tickling her.
"I'll hit you where the sun don't shine!" she threatened, hoping it would work.
He smirked at her even more and she looked down to see his knee covering that oh -so-painful place up. She growled in anger and squirmed some more underneath her.
"Fine!" she groaned after a few more minutes.
"Say it." he told her as she continued to tickle her.
"Uncle." she said softly.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Uncle." she yelled in his ear.
"Ow." he said simply before collapsing on top of her and breathing hard.
"You way a tone." Maggie laughed as she situated herself so she was being squished.
"I know. But you make a comfy couch." he chuckled. Maggie grunted and laid still as he continued to lay on top of her.
"That looks really wrong!" Dallas' voice floated in from the doorway. Maggie growled so only her and Steve could here. He turned his face towards her and looked at her, there faces a mere inch apart. Maggie saw, in that moment, something she had never seen in Steve Randle's eyes ever before. Caring. She continued to look into his deep black eyes, astonished that he actually was showing caring in his eyes. He snapped his head back towards Dally and stared at him for a second before looking back down at Maggie. The caring replaced by coldness. Maggie's heart dropped into her stomach when she saw it was gone. Before she knew it Steve was laying behind her instead of on top of her. (A/N- kind of like spooning but without the S word, lol).
"Maggie can I talk to you for a second?" Dallas asked as he pointed down the hall, one hand on his ribs.
"No!" Maggie and Steve and Darry said at the same time. Dally stared at them all angrily, trying to figure out what was going on.
"Why not?" he asked sharply as he walked further into to living room so he was standing in front of Maggie and Steve.
"Cause she's busy right now!" Steve snapped back as his chin dug into her shoulder blade. Dally's jaw clenched in anger but he with held it and walked back towards the door.
"Guess I'll talk to you later then." Dally gritted out before walking out the door. Maggie sighed heavily, her consance taking over. Maybe Dallas need her help to wrap some broken ribs or something and she had turned him away. Or maybe there was something else wrong and he needed help. Maggie shrugged it off and closed her eyes. She listened to the sound of Steve's breathing on her neck and the sound of Soda and Darry talking in hushed voices. Their voice finally started to get far away and before she knew it she was sleeping.
She was awoken a while later by the sound of loud voice and yelling. She rubbed her eyes tiredly and found that Steve was no longer behind her and that Darry and Soda were now on their.
"You shut up!" she heard Darry yell as he pointed to Soda. "I'm sick and tired of hearing you stick up for him."
"DON'T YOU YELL AT HIM!" Pony snapped from behind Darry. Before anyone could say another word Darry whirled around and smacked him across the face. It made a loud popping sound and then a crash when Pony hit the living room end table. Maggie gasped and clasped her hand over her mouth.
"Pony, I didn't mean to!" Darry shouted after Pony as Pony got up quickly and sped out the door. Maggie got up quickly and pulled on her boots, ready to go after him. She made her way towards the door and was about to go out when Darry stopped her.
"Where do you think your going?" Darry asked softly. He had that look that said he was already starting to feel terrible about what he had done and wanted to take it back so bad. She remembered how her sister had always given her those looks for a while. But her sister never stopped doing it either.
"To find your brother!" she snapped, her voice cold. She tried to shove past him but he was too big for her.
"Darry just let me go!" she shouted harshly. "You know he's gonna find some kind of trouble to get into and one of us is going to have to be there when he does." Darry looked at her, defeated, before nodding his head. She said a quick thanks before running out the door, her shoe laces swinging all over the place. She knew where Pony was headed and she hoped she wasn't too late. She ran as fast as she could and only slowed when she reached the park and heard voices. She sped up when she recognized Pony's voice. She breathed hard and skidded to a halt when she reached him.
"You alright, Pony?" she asked as she joined Johnny and Pony on the jungle gym.
"Yeah." Pony said in a shaky voice before taking a puff on a weed. Maggie nodded and patted Johnny on the back as her way of saying hi.
"Blue Mustang." Maggie said warningly as she pointed to the blue Mustang headed there way.
"Stay cool." Pony said to them. Maggie and Johnny both nodded and watched as the Mustang came closer. About 5 or 6 greasers all piled out of the car and made their way over towards them.
"Well,well, well," one of them with a bottle in their hand said, "ain't these the greasers that tried to pick up our woman?" he slurred. An idea instantly popped into Maggie's head and she dropped down off the gungle gym and walked slyly over to the Soc.
"Well," Maggie said sweetly as she puckered her lips a bit. She almost wanted to make herself gag by the way she was acting and she knew Pony and Johnny were thinking the same thing.
"I'm my greaser buddies tried to pick up your woman, I guess that means you guys should pick me up, huh? Nobody can know about it." she told them, disgusted with herself. But she knew this was probably the only way to get them off of Ponny and Johnny's back. All of the Socs looked at each other before the one in front of her smirked.
"Get in." he told her and motioned to the car. She smirked at them and turned back to Pony and Johnny.
"Get Steve and Darry and Dally and Soda and tell them to come look for me and fast. I really don't want to be in the same car as these freaks let alone have their hands all over me!" she whispered in Pony's ear. He nodded to her, his face looked worried. She turned back around and walked to the Socs car, crawling in back. She situated herself before about 3 greasers hopped in back with her 1 of them putting his hands on her thigh. She wanted so much to turn to him and punch him in the nose but she refrained and told herself to wait till the gang got there. She knew taking on 5 of them would be way too much to handle but if worse came to worse she would do it anyway. She sighed heavily as they started up the car and started driving back out of the park. Her hands were shaking and she couldn't get a grip and think about what she was going to do for a plan.
She could already see Pony racing down the street towards Darry's house and she prayed they would make it in time to help her beat the ass off of these socs. The guy's hand on her thigh started to slowly move up and down each time getting closer and closer to upper side. She let out a shaky breath and knew she would have to start throwing punches before Darry and the rest of the guys got there. She turned to the guy and smiled coldly at him, finding that he was actually quite ugly. She kept the smile on for a few seconds before slowly putting her fist up and punching him right in the nose at a perfect angle. His nose instantly started spluttering blood all over the place. The guy cried out in pain and held on to his nose. The guy driving twisted the wheel around and screeched to a halt. Maggie looked over at him and smirked, shrugging her shoulders.
"Everybody out!" the driver yelled as he turned off the car and opened the door. Maggie was thrown out of the car by a guy sitting in the back seat. She tripped and fell, landing on the pavement and scraping her knees. She jumped back up quickly before anyone got the chance to kick her while she was down. Once she was up she backed away from the Socs and held her fists up while looking for an exit. She found none and turned her attention back to the fight about to start. She breathed in deeply as the first one stepped up to her. He was the one that she had talked to earlier with the bottle. She watched him closely and manged to get a swing in, he whirled out of the way and recoiled by landing a hard punch to her cheek. She gasped out and pain and doubled over, holding her face. She looked down at her hand to find blood there and looked up at the guy quickly. He had rings on.
"Shit." she softly cursed to herself and straightened up ready to try again. She faked with her right hand and finally delivered a fierce punch to his lower lip, splitting it. She smiled slowly to herself, glad she finally hit him. But he caught her off guard and delivered a mean punch to her own bottom lip and she doubled over again. Those rings hurt something awful! She moaned a little as her lip gushed more and more blood and heard the guy laugh as she did. She backed away slowly before running at him and jumping on him to bring him. Once he was on the ground she started punching him wildly all over his face. He squirmed but Maggie was able to keep him down and keep punching him for a while until another soc pulled her off and held her back. All the while the one with the rings was getting up and getting him self resituated. He walked towards her angrily and punched her right in the stomach. She doubled over, thinking she was going to puke but never did. She was about to straighten up when he punched her again. She coughed some more and gulped for air.
"Hey!" one of the socs yelled. Maggie looked up to see Darry and Soda and Steve and Two Bit and Dally running towards her on foot.
"Took you long enough!" she managed to yell out before wincing at the pain in her lips and her sides. Before long all 7 of them were standing in front of her looking mean and tougher than ever. Maggie slowly walked over to Steve who grabbed her so she wouldn't fall, all the while Maggie was clutching her stomach from a huge pain in it.
"You ok?" Steve whispered to her as he held her up. She shook her head no shortly before looking up at the Socs.
"She's gonna pay for this!" the one with the rings said angrily as he pointed to Maggie.
"I think she already paid enough!" Steve spat out even more coldly.
"Let's go." one of the socs finally said and within minutes they were gone. Maggie walked a few steps before dropping to her knees in the grass and throwing up. She felt horrible and was having really bad pains in her stomach. She coughed a little and Steve came over to her and held up her hair. When she was done she got back up slowly and turned around. Steve stared at her and gave her a weird look when he saw her.
"What?" Maggie asked softly.
YEAH! DALLY AND JOHNNY DON'T GET KILLED! AND I'M STILL STUMPING YOU GUYS ON WHO'S GOING TO GET WITH MAGGIE! WHO'S GOOD? HUH? HUH? LOL. I'm just joking. LOVE YOU ALL! Please R&R!
