Author's Note : Please read!

Just to give my all you readers out there some info to help understand everything.

Character Overview:

Soda Darry Pony Two-Bit Johnny Dallas Steve Tim – I picture them from the movie.

Curly – um well I don't think they showed him in the movie so whatever

Alice – my own character

Diana (Alice's Mother) – my own

Mike (Alice's Father) – my own

The story follows Alice's point of view and then in a few chapter it switches to Dally's but it also goes back to the beginning of the story when he meets her. I will tell you again at the beginning of that chapter when it changes.

Alice POV:

I looked around me. It was so dark and dirty wherever I was. I heard a voice behind me.

"Hey baby you wanna come with me tonight."

He touched my hipbone and ran his hand up and down my sides. I stepped back away from his touch. Yuck, I could smell alcohol on him.

"No, I don't really wanna go home with you." I snapped back, to scared to do anything else.

He stepped forward and touched my shoulder. "Come on baby, I'll be nice."

I was scared but couldn't do anything, he was defiantly bigger than I was.

"Hey. Leave her alone."

I turned around to see 2 tough looking boys come up beside me. The guy that had come on to me held my arm tighter, well that was going to bruise.

"I said let her go." The taller boy said.

"Make me."

The shorter boy pulled out a blade. "Alright, have it your way."

He stepped forward and cut the boy's arm that had mine. He let me go and jumped back in pain. The taller of the 2 that came to me pulled me behind him.

"Stay behind me." He said to me. "No problem." I responded.

They proceeded to beat the guy and then after he stumbled off turned to me.

"Why the hell are you out here alone in the middle of the night…" He looked down at my suitcases. "And with that?"

"My parents dropped me off this afternoon and said I had an aunt here, they lied. So here I am alone and no place to go."

"Oh. Well I'm Tim and this is my brother Curly. Um… Well do you need a place to stay…?"

"Alice." I said nodding my head to them. "That would be nice but I don't wanna intrude."

"No it's alright. You can stay with us tonight. I promise we won't pull anything on you." He bent down a picked up 2 of my 3 suitcases. I picked up the smallest one. "God what do you have in here?"

We began to walk as I answered him. "Let's see, 2 pairs of tennis shoes, 3 pairs of boots, and a few pairs of sandals, my winter wardrobe and all my summer clothes. My tapes, pictures, drawings, and crud like that. " I began to fight back the tears that I still hadn't let fall.

"Good god why?"

"My mom packed everything I owned. I know why now, she probably isn't coming back to get me." I said as I started to cry as I remembered the harsh words my mother had said to me a few days before she had dropped me off.

"Why?"

"I wasn't wanted. I'm a mistake." I paused choked back the tears and continued on like it didn't bother me. "She never wanted a girl she wanted a boy and as you can see I'm the farthest thing from a boy." I said pointing at my figure. "Not to mention I was a cheerleader, dancer, and girly." Again pointing at my body to show my outfit. I had on faded jeans, a hot pink tank top that showed off my curves, and pink sandals. I had blue eyes and my hair was light brown with blonde highlights, some real some fake, and it came down past my shoulders and to the middle of my back. Tonight it fell the same way it always did, across my shoulders and across my back. I then broke down and cried, showing my weakness to the two boys.

"Hey, hey you are wanted now." He lifted my chin so I could look at his eyes. "We want you to stay with us. You are wanted, you can be like my adoptive sister. You will always be wanted now." Tim said as he smiled, one of the few I would ever see.

When we reached the house Tim led me into the guestroom. The house was kind of run down and smelled like smoke but it was better than nothing. He put my suitcases on the bed and led me back out into the living room where a woman sat on the couch.

"Mom," She turned around to look at Tim, she looked me up and down suspiciously. "This is Alice, she was being harassed by some guy so we brought her here, can she stay."

The lady got up and walked over to me. She was a little taller than me and had short dark hair with bangs, she had dark blue eyes that looked almost black. But her smile was sweet and gentle. "Hello Alice, I'm Mrs. Shepard and yes Tim she can stay here as long as she'd like, it will be nice to have another woman in the house.

That was the day I finally found my family, my home, and someone who loved me. I had found a place I could call home.
