Ok, I only had a few reviews, but that's ok. But here's more for the people who do read this. More POVs sorry if they change a lot at first.

Disclaim- I do not own the Outsiders, only the ones I made up :)

Chapter 3 Pony's POV

As soon as I got home, I sat on the couch waiting for the phone to ring. I just wish she could call me, just to let me know things were ok. I had just really met her two days ago, but I was so worried about her. At around 8 I fell asleep. An hour later I was woken up by a forceful Darry shaking me hard, not on purpose.

"Hey, Pony, some girl is on the phone for you." he said. I could see that Two-Bit was sitting on a chair beside me.

"Ooh, Pony picked himself up a lady. Is she blonde?" Man, this was embarrassing. My ears were on fire.

"Shut up Two-Bit, she's just my friend" I said picking up the phone.

Darry's POV

Pony was being real quiet on the phone. I wonder what he was talking about, to girls of all people. He hadn't really gotten into that stage yet. I tried to listen, though, to what he was saying. Then, real loud, he said,

"Jamie, I'll be over there in a few minutes." and hung up the phone. He grabbed his jacket and headed towards the door.

"Hey Pony, where you goin?" I said.

"Out, be back before 10" he said quickly and left. That was good enough for me, but I didn't really want him going out alone after what happened, but I figured he might be alright. He's been kind of quiet lately.

Pony's POV

I headed out the door as fast as I could. I only got to talk to Jamie for a few minutes, and then I could hear Shane and her yelling in the back round and I heard the phone click, and that got me really worrying. How could she really love this guy? I was going to stop all this. It took me about a half an hour to get to her house when I was running, but it was all worth it. I got to her door and didn't even knock and opened the door. I ran inside, and I could hear Jamie screaming from upstairs. I ran up there and I seen Shane hitting her real hard all over; on her face, arms, legs, body, he was pulling her hair and everything. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. How could someone treat a girl like this? How could someone treat anything like this?

"Hey, you leave her alone" I said, a little louder than I intended to. I was never the confident, loud type, but I couldn't sit there and let them watch. I hated it when me or Johnny or someone got jumped, and people on the street just sat and watched. I had to say something, I just had to.

"What? What did you say you little" I wasn't going to let him finish.

"I said leave her alone. What did she do to you?" he walked over to me and I got kind of scared. Jamie just sat there, I don't think she could even get up.

"Look pal, I can do whatever I want to. We love each other, and there's nothing you can do about it." they sure had a funny way of expressing their love. "it would be in your best interest to not tell anyone, got it? I really would hate to see something bad happen to you, I really would." what a jerk. But then, he came up to me and shoved me against the wall. He punched me real hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me. Then he punched me in the face, and I knew I would have a black eye before I got home.

"Now, get out and don't tell no one, got it?" I looked at Jamie, and she was nodding her head. She didn't want me to tell anyone either. "I said get out!" He pushed me down the stairs, and I knew there was nothing I could do. Besides, it was already 9:45. I could never be home before10. I had no idea what I was going to do. I walked up my porch slowly and opened the door. I could see from a clock in the window that it was 10:10. Darry was still in the same spot when I had left.

"Hey Pone, a little late, but I'll let it slide" he was becoming a little more lenient nowadays. He looked at my face, and asked,

"Hey little buddy, what happened to you?" he asked. I almost told him, but remembered Jamie's face. I didn't know what to do, so I lied on the spot.

"I was lookin' at something and I ran into a telephone pole, I'm fine." I even managed to get out a fake laugh. I am a good liar, but Darry could tell. He seemed to be a little off today though, because he let me leave on a school night, late too. And, he didn't mind when I was late.

"Do you ever use your head kiddo? No siree bub. Go on to bed, Soda's in there already, I guess he was tired." I didn't want to argue, so I went to the room that me and Soda shared. He was just lying there on the bed. Fully clothed and everything. He just looked at the ceiling, and usually I would have known that something was wrong, but I was busy with my own thoughts. I needed to help Jamie. I got undressed and got under the covers. I looked at Soda.

"Hey, Soda, what's the matter?" I asked. I wish I could tell Soda.

"Oh, nothing, just thinking about Sandy." how could he still like her? How could Jamie still like Shane after all the things he does to her? Love was confusing.

"Hey Soda, can I tell you something?" I can't believe I was going to tell him.

"Yeah, sure Pone, what is it?" he said, propping his head on his elbow.

"Um, this girl. You know the one at the pool, Jamie? Well you know how I said her boyfriend hits her?"

"Yeah,"

"Well, she didn't come to school today, because he hit her real bad. I went there after school to giver her her homework, and I left her with my number. Her boyfriend was screaming at her on the phone, and so I ran over there. She lives half an hour if you run." by this point, my stomach turned into a bit knot. "and he was upstairs hitting her and I ran up there, and he got real mad. He shoved me into a wall and hit me and then pushed me down the stairs. Jamie didn't want me to tell no one, but this is bad, Soda. He hits her real bad. I had to tell someone, and you always understand."

"Sorry you got yourself into all this, Pony. We have to tell someone. Or else Jamie's gonna get hurt worse. We'll tell Darry tomorrow." I had trouble falling asleep, all I could think about was Jamie being hurt right now. I could only hear her screaming.

Okay, I don't know if it's the best, but review! I love them! I'm not really sure of what the ending should be yet.
