Eme's POV
I woke up that morning feeling as though I wouldn't make it through the day, I had a terrible headache, my legs were weak and I felt completely sick to my stomach all this because I'm nervous..maybe I shouldn't go back my thoughts weren't helping any. I needed to go back, I wanted to go back, but was it really worth all this feeling of insecurity and worthlessness? Yes! It was worth it and with that thought in my mind I started to pack my bags and head home. Two hours later I was seated on the 10 o'clock train to Tulsa, as the train rolled in motion with the sound of the wheels I started to feel better and slowly drifted off to a comfortable sleep. I was woken by the conductor "miss, um..ma'am we're here…last stop Tulsa" he spoke with a quick but gentle tone "thank you sir" I gathered my things and stepped of the train oh the air smells so sweet, I feel so alive again now in all actuality the train station smelt like a mixture of gasoline, burnt rubber, sweat, and sulpher, but to me that was a smell that I've longed for, a smell that felt right. As I picked up my suitcase and started walking I realized that maybe I shouldn't be walking alone by myself so close to twilight, I didn't know what had changed and what hadn't. I had a feeling that the socs and the greasers were still at war, I hoped not, but I doubted it. Even though I didn't look like a complete greaser girl, I wasn't any soc either, I was wear a brownish knee length skirt with a white sweater, a kind of typical middle classer outfit, with my dark hair pulled up loosely in a ponytail, because of the heat and the walk to the east side my hair had started to come undone, know there were curly strands sticking out, from what was a fairly presentable hairstyle. As I neared my old house I wondered if daddy was home, should I go in, what if he was there and drunk, would he beat me, shout at me, try to rape me? I wasn't to know. So I decided I would head to the Curtis's house, hopefully they would welcome me with open arms. I stood in front of the house that I had been to many times, with doubt in my mind, as I walked up the front steps they made a creak, startling me. I was here now and there was no turning back. I needed to know that they remembered me, and that they still cared for me. It was now or never. I reached for the door with my hand in a fist and knocked on it gently.
Pony boy's POV
I was sitting in the big comfy chair near the kitchen when I heard I knock at the door. A flash of fear came over me, no one in this neighborhood knocks, they just barge on in, what if it was one of the socs trying to finish me off. I got up cautiously and went to the door, I only opened it a crack and was relieved when I saw a dark haired girl standing there instead of a big muscle head soc. As I opened the door wider she let out a gasp "Ponyboy?" "yah that's me?..do I know you?" she did look familiar but I couldn't put a finger on it, she spoke again "do you mind if I come in, it's starting to get cold?" "Oh ya sure, c'mon" I grabbed her suitcase and set it down by the couch. It wasn't until she sat down and took out her hair that I realized just who was sitting in my living room "Eme?" I asked with pure shock "ya pony I'm back..surprise" she said with unsure ness. With that I knew why no one knew she was coming back, she thought we wouldn't want her anymore, but did she ever think wrong, there wasn't a day that went by, when one of us would mention her. I got up quickly and hugged her. As soon as I did, she starting crying, but not unhappy tears, these were tears of joy. I was glad she was back and I knew everyone else would be too.
