Disclaim- I don't own the Outsiders

Chapter 5

Shane's POV

How could Jamie do this to me? I got in my car and drove down the road. How could she? How dare she? She never used to be like this. We used to have fun together. We first met at a party, and she didn't really care about the age difference. We were sure we could make it work, even though I was graduating just as she was starting high school. I went to the local high school, and I had plenty of friends. I wasn't popular, and I wasn't a nerd, just one of the normal ones. I liked working on cars, though. I loved cars ever since I can remember. My dad got me into them. He taught me everything I needed to know about them. Jamie started coming to my house more often. Both of my parents liked her, a lot. She got along great with them, and my younger siblings as well. But one day when Jamie was over, I got a phone call. It was from my dad's work. He worked on cars at an auto shop. It was his manager. He called to tell me or my mother that something had happened to my dad. He was working on a car, and the stands broke and the car fell on him, killing him. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, and that's when it all began. I hung up the phone, and I hit Jamie for the first time. She gave me a look and tears swelled up in her eyes, and she ran out the door. I felt like such a jerk and I promised I would never let it happen again. But it did. Over and over. I felt so bad, but I just told her I was mad about my dad, and she was fine with it. I have never talked to anyone about my dad, and I never will. It's an untouchable subject. I don't like to show my emotional side in front of people. But I love Jamie. I wish things could go back to normal, and I could stop hitting her. I just can't help it. It just comes over me in one big anger wave. I don't know how to fix my problem. I came to my house now, and I saw some greaser kid walking down the road. I got out of my car and looked at him. He had kind of dark skin and black hair.

"Hey, kid, what are you doin out here alone?" he gave me a scared look, and I was surprised to hear an answer from him.

"My old man kicked me out again. Drunk." He looked at me once more and started to walk away.

"Well, do you need a ride somewhere?" I was actually kind of lonely.

"yeah, I guess." He said walking towards me. I was actually kind of happy for this, since I was lonely and I wanted to find Jamie, even though I knew she wouldn't forgive me, ever.

Pony's POV

We got to my house, and I let Jamie in. She walked in and looked around, and just stood in the doorway.

"Have a seat" I said. "I'll introduce you to the rest of the gang." I said.

"A gang?" she asked.

"Well, my friends, actually. That over there is my brother Sodapop." She smiled at his name. "and next to him is his best buddy, Steve. My oldest brother, Darry, is over there on the chair. Two-Bit is the one with beer in hand, and Dally is the one with blonde hair over there. Hey, where's Johnnycake?" I felt bad, but I hadn't noticed he was gone.

"I don't know, said he was goin somewhere." Dally said. Dally and Johnny usually hung out together when I wasn't hanging out with him.

"Well anyways, boys, this is my friend, Jamie." I said.

"Ooh, she's a looker, but not blonde." Two-Bit said

"Oh, Two-Bit, what are we going to do with you?" Darry replied. Two-Bit mumbled something under his breath and laughed. I looked at Jamie. She was so beautiful.

"You want to go to my room to talk?" I said, again hoping I wasn't going too far.

"Alright." She said. We sat there, talking about the weirdest things, baloney sandwiches, sunsets, horses, all kinds of stuff. Then there was a knock on the door. I ran to go see who it was, but I was too late. I came out into the living room to see Johnny and Shane standing in my doorway.

Sorry it was kind of short, but I'm tired. I'll write a longer chapter next time, promise. Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
