For some reason it took me a few days to come up with this little bit...

Chapter Three
The week flew by as it usually did. The high school had teacher conferences so Steve, Pony, Johnny, Two-Bit, and Annie did not have to go to school.
In the morning Annie and Johnny helped Pony clean up the Curtis house while the other two sat drinking beer and watching t.v.
In the mid afternoon, Pony decided to go to the movies, while Steve went to work, Johnny went to finish a paper, and Two-Bit and Annie went shopping.
Annie stayed with the Matthews whenever she wasn't able to go home. Mrs. Matthews was a sweetheart, not worrying of what Annie and Two-Bit could do on nights when they were home alone. To pay Mrs. Matthews back, Annie helped around the house and would do the grocery shopping.
"Oh, SHIT! We need more cigarettes. Your nineteen, buy some for me!"
"You're going to be dead in five years, by the time you're twenty. Too much smoking and drinking"
"Oh, yeah, sure Two-Bit. You're just the innocent one... Never smoking or drinking..."
"Exactly!" Two-Bit announced smartly to Annie.
"Oh, just shut the fuck up so we can go smoke." Annie was fed up with not smoking all day.
It was when they were walking back to the Curtis' house that they heard Pony screaming at the top of his lungs for someone to help him.
Annie and Darry ran up to Pony to see how bad his cuts were, while Johnny, Two-Bit, Steve, Soda, and even Dally, who was out of prison on good behavior, ran to chase the Socs away.
Pony was followed home from the movies by a gang of Soc's who almost beat him up. After getting him all fixed up, the gang went their separate ways.
Her face was slapped as soon as she got into the house.
"What the fuck do you want" The booze was on her breath again.
"I'm getting my clothes."
"Take them all and make sure I never have to fucking see your goddamn face again."
The boiling tears raced down her cheek as Annie ran into Two-Bits arms.
"what's the matter, Baby? What the hell did she do this time?" He questioned while staring down at the huge black and blue bruise on her face.
She would never be able to explain that she wasn't wanted at home ever again.
