CHAPTER 4

I walked back to my house in a daze. I wasn't sure what all had just happened. Part of it felt like a dream. Bob has a sister. I shook my head to clear my thoughts as I pushed open the door. Steve was back, sitting on the couch. I nodded to him, knowing his dad had told him to get out and stay out again. I looked around for Darry and, not finding him, sat down on a chair.

"Where'd new girl go?" Steve asked between sips of his Pepsi. I was kind of surprised he wasn't drinking beer but said nothing about it. "She ran off. Told me some stuff though..." I sank back into my chair and sighed. I knew Steve was waiting for me to tell him. I looked over at him. He raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

"Where's superman at anyways?" he asked dryly. I heard Darry mutter something about Steve under his breath as he came back in. He paused and looked at me for a minute seeing the red mark on my face. Steve noticed it too. He was grinning. He thought it was halariously funny, I guess.

"What'd you do to make her slap you like that?" Darry asked, looking out the screen door. He walked out and grabbed her book, then came back in and tossed it to me. I opened it up. Some of the pages were unreadable because it had been sitting on the wet ground. I tossed it on the ground and sighed as Darry closed the door.

"She told me about why she was here, and the fact that her brother was the only reason she hadn't run away. Her brother, Bob Sheldon." I grimanced as everyone paused to stare at me. They knew what was coming.

"She had a right to know what happened so after I told her she started running to the park and I grabbed her arm to make her listen to me and she slapped me. She told me I had only lost my best friend but she had lost the only person who had ever cared for her. Her family hates her, Cherry's mom doesn't like her. She told me her only friends were Bob, Randy and Cherry." I closed my eyes for a minute.

"So where is she now?" Steve asked, not really paying attention. I shrugged. "She yelled at me and ran off. She's probably on her way back to the east side now." We lazed around for a little bit then I fell asleep in the chair.

I jumped at a loud banging noise and sleepily opened my eyes. I saw Two-Bit and groaned. "You think you could be a little bit quieter? He shook his head, still grinning his lopsided grin. I laughed as Steve jumped about a foot in the air when Two-Bit whispered something in his ear. He punched him in the stomach. "I'm gonna kill you," he hissed in a voice that sounded like a Soc's. Two-Bit pretened to be scared.

Then he turned back to me. "Hey, I found new girl. Guess where I found her?" Two-Bit was talking to me so I mearly shrugged. "She was walkin' down the middle of the road at about midnight. Crying, none the less. So she's over at my house. Said she didn't want to have to see you again. Man, she was a wreck. What happened?"

I groaned. I figured she would've told him about it. I leaned my head back. "Carrie Sheldon is Bob's younger sister. I told her about me and Johnny and that her brother was drunk and she ran off. Though not before slapping me pretty hard." I made a face. Steve was laughing at me so I threw a pillow at him. "Don't you have work?" I asked.

Still grinning, Steve got up and wandered into the kitchen. Darry had already left, though I wasn't sure where because I didn't think he worked on Sundays. I heard rummaging in the refrigerator before Steve returned with the chocolate cake. I took a piece before Steve shoved his face into it (not literally) and turned back to Two-Bit.

"Is she ok?" I asked. Two-Bit shrugged as he sat down on the ground. "She's still pretty upset. I mean I know we're all upset about Johnny and Dally but the way she put it Bob was the only person who actually cared about her. You dig?" I sighed. Yeah, I dig. She had told me herself. I wandered into the bathroom to take a shower and stuff. When I came out I paused in the living room and attempted to cock an eyebrow.

"Care to explain yourselves?" I asked, grinning as Two-Bit stood up and started laughing at Steve. "Now who's the tough guy?" he asked. I rolled my eyes and went into my room to get changed. Steve had left by the time I came back.

"Pony, Carrie wants to talk to you. In the park by the fountain. In about 2 minutes so get going." Two-Bit said, practically shoving me out the door. I just stared at him. He wasn't being like himself. Then I turned and headed to the park. I had a feeling I was gonna get slapped again.

A/N: Wheeeee I wasn't sure what I wanted to do past this, I just had to get the fact that Carrie was staying at Two-Bit's in. Sooooo yeah, R+R!
