Chapter 6:

(Rose's POV)

I got an idea. "Johnny, are you ticklish?" I asked. He just looked at me. I saw he set his bag of candy down and I moved over to 'im. He backed up but into the tree. I felt someone grab me from behind and I saw Will.

"I know you are Rose," Will said as she tickled under my neck. I started laughin' and movin' around, tryin' to get away from Will. She will not stop ticklin' you until you are cryin'.

"Will stop," I said as I laughed.

"Say it," Will said.

"Please stop Queen Will," I said. Then she stopped. She thought she was queen of the gang.

"And you remember that too," she said. I smiled then tickled Johnny. He was ticklish on his sides. I laughed at he laughed too. Then I saw 'im ticklin' my feet. I got my feet away from 'im and continued to tickle 'im.

"Oh, Rose is makin' out with Johnnycakes in the open!" I heard someone yell. I stopped ticklin' Johnny and I saw the gang comin' toward us. I knew it was Paula who said that. Then I felt someone ticklin' my sides. It was Johnny. I turned my attention back toward 'im and started ticklin' 'im again. We stopped when we both saw each other cryin' from laughin' so much. We were still laughin' though.

"Rose, help me set this up," Anna said to me. "And put you're shoes back on."

"But I like bein' free," I said as I removed my jacket and threw it up into the tree. "Opps."

"Come help me put the blanket down then get you're jacket out of the tree," Anna said. I walked over to Anna and helped her with the blanket. Once it was perfect, Abby and Krista jumped on it. I laughed climbed back up in the tree, and grabbed my jacket. Then I jumped down and walked over to the blanket to sit down. Johnny came over and followed me.

"Johnnycakes!" Abby and Krista yelled as they tackled 'im. I sighed, walked over to them and tried to help Johnny get out.

"Hand him over!" We all stopped and looked to where we heard the voice. We saw six guys standing in front of us. I saw one of the guys was Ponyboy Curtis.

"What the hell do you want?" Will asked as she lit a cigarette.

"You know what we want," one boy with a brown jacket said. Abby, Krista and I got off Johnny. Johnny looked at the guys as I helped 'im up.

"Hi guys," Johnny said as he walked over to them.

"Are you alright Johnny?" a guy with muscles said. I looked at Anna and she was blushin'. I found Anna's crush.

"We heard these bitches kidnapped you," a guy with a Mickey Mouse shirt said.

"Wait a minute," I said as I walked over to them. "We didn't kidnap 'im." I could hear the girls comin' behind me.

"Yea right," said the guy with a brown jacket.

"Probably brain washed 'im too," a guy with an eagle tattoo said.

"Wait just a fuckin' minute," Will said. "Why don't you ask Johnny what happened?"

"They didn't hurt me guys," Johnny said. "Rose and Will saved me from the Socs."

"Did you say Will Johnny?" the guy with the brown jacket asked.

"Yea why?" Johnny asked.

"It's been a while Dallas," Will said. He looked at Will in shock.

"Will, what are you doin' 'ere? Lookin' for me?" he asked.

"She's sure as hell doesn't want to see you ass after what happened," I said.

"What did I do?" he asked.

"Let's go Dal," Ponyboy said.

"Yea," said a guy that was smilin'. "We have Johnny now."

"He's stayin' 'ere," I said. "He was joinin' us for somethin'. If you have a problem with that, you take it up with me." Dallas walked over to me. Damn he was tall like Will.

"Guys, take Johnny," he said. "I'll deal with these broads."

"You better not hit one Dal," I heard one of 'em yell but I didn't see which one though.

"I won't unless she really pisses me off," Dallas said.

"Guys listen, they didn't hurt me," Johnny said.

"You're just tryin' to cover for 'em," a guy said. I couldn't take this. I punched Dallas in the gut.

"That's for hurtin' Will," I said. "Now give us back Johnny."

"No," said the guy with muscles. He looks like super man.

"Darry," Johnny said. "They're my friends."

"Why are you friends with the DDG?" the guy with an eagle tattoo said. "Did you hit your head or somethin' kid?"

"What; do you have something against us?" I asked.

"Listen, this has all been a misunderstanding," Anna said as she stepped forward. "My baby sister and her friend found Johnny hurt last night so we took him back to our house and took care of his wounds. We were aware he would want to go back with his normal friends. But we invited to a picnic we were having today. But if you guys can't wait, take him back."

"Anna no!" I yelled. I felt Will grab me and hold me back because I was about top charge at Anna. I will not let these guys get away with this. "Anna, this isn't far! They can't get away with calling us kidnappers! Sure we do bad stuff but kidnappin', we would never do that!" I can't believe this.

"Let if go Rose," Paula said.

"Screw you all!" I got out of Will's grip and ran away. I didn't feel like putting my shoes or jacket on. I can't believe their taking their side. We are not kidnappers. I jumped a fence into the back alley and headed home. Once I reached home, I kicked opened the door then slammed it behind me. I was pissed now. They were goin' to let these people get away with callin' us kidnappers. Even Will wasn't fightin' back. I know it's not everyone's time of the month. If someone had called us kidnapper two months ago, we would fight 'em. I ran into my room and shut; more like slammed the door behind me and locked it. Then I went face first into my bed and started to cry.

I woke up a couple hours later. I don't remember fallin' asleep. I looked outside and saw it was dark out. I walked over to my door, unlocked it and walked out. I saw the whole gang in the dinnin' room. They stared at me as I walked in. I walked into the kitchen and made myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. "Crystal, come in here," I heard Anna say as I poured myself a glass of milk. I walked into the dinnin' room and saw down. I began to eat my sandwich. "We need to talk to you."

"About what?" I asked with food in my mouth.

"Use you're manners Crystal," Anna said. "We need to talk about how you acted earlier." I swallowed my food and drank some milk. "You acted very rude and you're language has gotten worse. You're grounded for a month." What the fuck? She couldn't do this to me.

"They called us kidnappers Anna!" I said as I stood up. "Did you not hear that or were you just payin' attention to the guy with the huge muscle?!"

"That's enough Crystal," Anna said.

"Anna, she shouldn't be grounded for a month because of what she said," Paula said.

"I agree," Will said. Abby, Krista and Lynn agreed. "I mean shit; we have done some bad shit but we never kidnapped anyone before."

"Watch the language Will," Anna said. "I agree they shouldn't have said that but how Crystal acted, I can't forgive that."

"Come on Anna," Paula said.

"You stay out of this," Anna said. "You're stupid mind can't tell what's wrong from right."

"Don't you talk bad about Paula like that!" I yelled.

"And you Crystal need to learn to keep you're mouth shut," Anna said.

"You just ruined a good day Anna," I said. "I was havin' fun until those boys came long. I'm goin' to find 'em and make they apologize for callin' us kidnappers. They could have turned us into the fuzz and the fuzz would believe 'em. I don't want to go to a girl's home Anna."

"You need to go to a manner school," Anna said.

"I have manner I just don't use 'em," I said. "I'm a hood; JD. We hoods don't use our manners."

"And who taught you that?"

"Someone."

"I know it was Will."

"You know what Anna, you ruined everythin' today."

"How did I ruin everything?"

"First you let those boys have Johnny without a fight then you come back and yell at me."

"I didn't want to see a rumble break out over some kid."

"Some kid; you liked havin' Johnny around."

"I admit he was fun to have around but Crystal listen, he would have gone back to his friends eventually."

"I'm not that stupid Anna. I know that."

"Let's end this right here. We will not talk about this ever again."

"Fine." I walked to my room, grabbed my jacket, and went out though the window. I can't stay here right now. Staying here will only make things worse. I went down the fire escape and into the alley. Then I ran off in a random direction.

(Johnny's POV)

We were all back at the Curtis house. Once we got here, I was asked a lot of questions by the gang. I told them all the truth but they think the girls brainwashed me. I don't know why they don't believe me for some reason. Now I can't go anywhere without someone with me. Right now Steve, Soda, Two-Bit and Dally were playin' cards, Ponyboy and I were watchin' and Darry was in his armrest reading the newspaper. I was bored right now. We heard a knock at the door. Darry got up form his chair and answered the door. Then I heard Anna's voice. "Have you seen my little sister?" she asked.

"No; why?" Darry asked.

"She's missing," I heard Paula say. "She went out through her window. Will and the other girls are out looking for her now. We thought she would come here."

"How did you know we live here?" Darry asked.

"We have our ways," Paula said. "We're sorry to have bothered you. We'll be leaving now."

"Please come in," Darry said opening the door. Anna and Paula walked in and Darry closed the door behind them. "Please excuse the mess; we have some rats living here."

"We're no rats," Two-Bit said.

"We're greasers," Steve said as he got up and looked at Anna and Paula. "What the hell are the DDG doing here?" Everyone looked at them.

"Their kid sister is messing," Darry said. "Let me introduce everyone since we didn't get to it earlier. I'm Darry. The boy with the grin on his face is my kid brother Soda. The boy next to Johnny is my other kid brother Ponyboy. You know Johnny. The boy with the eagle tattoo is Steve. The Mickey Mouse dude is Two-Bit and the last guy is Dally."

"I'm Anna, the oldest Adams and this is my sister Paula," Anna said. We heard the door open and I saw the rest of the girls standin' in the door way. Will looked at Dally then looked over at Anna.

"We can't find her," Will said. "She's not at the club, the tree she was in earlier or anymore. We looked everywhere she would be."

"This is Will," Anna said. "The one next to Will is Lynn. The two hyper girls are Abby and Krista."

"I know you," Ponyboy said as he got up and pointed at Abby. "You're on the girl's track team." Ponyboy shouldn't have been that. Abby tried to hold it in but she jumped onto Ponyboy and yelled his name. Then she hugged him.

"Looks like Ponyboy got himself a broad," Steve said. "Hey girl, what do you see in him?"

"Shut up Steve," Ponyboy said. Paula went over to Soda.

"Hello handsome," she said.

"Hello baby," Soda said back. It went like that. Anna went with Darry, Will and Dally avoided each other, Steve and Krista, and Two-Bit and Lynn. Everyone in the room had someone except me. Everyone started talking to each other so I went out the back door without anyone noticin'. I think there's one place the girls haven't looked for Rose: where I first meet her. I ran down the streets. I ran past my house and heard my parents fightin' again. Damn they fight a lot. I noticed a mustang behind me so I picked up speed. I finally came to the area where I meet Rose. I looked around and didn't see her. Then I looked up in the tree where I was when she found me. I then called out.

"Rose?"

(Will's POV)

I saw Johnny wasn't in the room anymore. He must be lonely without Rose around. I could tell he liked her. I walked out onto the pouch and lit a weed. Everyone was hittin' it off really good in there except me. There was no one in there I wanted to be with. Soda, Steve and Two-Bit will probably tell Krista, Lynn and Paula that they already had girlfriends. When I actually go to school, I see Steve, Soda and Two-Bit all over their girlfriends. I see Soda on Sandy when I go to the DX for no reason. I know Dally already had a slut and I hate her guts. She thinks she's so great when she's not. Dallas has a weird taste in girls. Where the hell was Rose? What the hell is wrong with this gang too? We were suppose to take care of her when she has a problem. She was only tryin' to protect our rep. We all knew we didn't kidnap Johnny and we let these greasers call us that. If only we had stood up to them, Rose wouldn't have run away. We just didn't want a rumble to start over Johnny.

I heard the door open behind me and I saw Dally. I threw my weed on the ground and stepped on it. This is my cue to leave. Just as I was leavin', I heard Dally call me name. I turned around and looked at him. Damn he has gotten hotter over the years. I will not fall for 'im again though. He left me and I was raped because of 'im. "Will," he started to say. "How long have you been here?"

"About a year," I said.

"Did you come here to-"

"Don't flatter yourself Winston. I moved here because I HAD to. You made nothing to do with this. You better leave now so I wouldn't kill you."

"You're still mad ain't ya?"

"Hell yea I am! I was raped because of you. I changed because of you. I've been hooked on revenge because of YOU!" I let out all my anger. I opened the fence and slammed it behind me. "You can go to hell with all you're sluts too!" I need to go to Buck's place and have a drink.
