SinisterxSquirrel: Ok, well here's chapter 4. Hope you like it. There's prolly gonna be. No, scratch that. There is gonna be some drama and fighting in this chapter. Enjoy

Steve was sitting beside her now with his hand still on her shoulder

(A/N): Jamie just starred at Steve so he just sat down.

"What's wrong?"he asked

"Looks like you were gonna start cryin' back there "he pointed out. She took a shaky breath and said, trying to hold back the tears.

"Nothing's wrong. Just needed to get some fresh air."Steve studied her a moment, then said calmly.

"No, you're lying and don't deny it."she nodded and smiled.

"I'm not denying it 'cause, I'm tellin' the truth."Steve sighed in frustration and asked.

"Is it Soda?"Just then, her exterior shattered. She flung herself into Steve's arms and cried. It hurt so much, she felt she would cry for all eternity. Steve wrapped his arms around her, careful to avoid her injured back. He put his chin on the top of her head and asked.

"Did he hurt you 'cause, if he did I'll kill him."

"No, h-he didn't h-h-h-h . . ."she started to cry even harder when she tried to say the word 'hurt'.

"Did he hurt you?"Steve asked even more softly. Jamie nodded her head shakily and said.

"He said he already found someone else."Steve sat in his spot, froze.

Is she in love with Soda. Wait . . . did she say he already found someone else. But, he just broke up with Sandy today and he stayed in the house ever since. This must mean he likes one of the girls, but which one. I hope it's Jamie. She's cryin' over him 'cause, she thinks he is in love with someone else. Wait . . . does that make sense? His thoughts were interrupted when he heard someone clear their throat. Steve looked up and saw Soda standing there. Soda looked at Steve then at Jamie.

"What's wrong with her. Did something happen?"he asked. Steve carefully got up and smacked Soda across the face. Soda put his hand on the reddening flesh and just starred at Steve.

"Ya wanna know the reason she's cryin'?"Steve asked.

"Steve, no."Jamie plead, but Steve ignored her.

"The reasons she's cryin is 'cause, she is in love with you and you find someone else immediately after your break up with Sandy. Pathetic."Steve said and turned to face a, extremely white and extremely upset Jamie.

"How could you both do this to me?"she asked tears flowing freely down her face.

"What did I do?"they asked in unison.

"Soda. I've known for a while now that you knew I was in love with you. Steve, how could you tell him. I mean, yeah he knows. But, what if he didn't. You have to stop and think."she turned on her heels and ran away. Ran away from all the hurt and misery they, no everyone caused her. She wasn't aware of two things at the moment. 1.)Soda was running after her. And, 2.)A back Mustang following her. She finally stopped and saw where she was. It was the hill behind the school, overlooking the city.

Soda, Steve, and I always came here. Most of the time it was Soda and I. Steve, you always managed to get in a lot of trouble. What happen to those days. Oh right, we grew up, got lovers, and got jobs. Ok, I really need to get my mind off them two jerks. I wonder if Sarah ever told Pony how she felt about him.

Back at the Curtis house . . .

The house was silent and the livingroom was empty. All except two figures melted together on the couch. Ponyboy and Sarah were so busy making out,. They didn't hear Steve come in. Steve rolled his eyes and Went to the room Pony and Soda shared.

I just hope Soda can calm her down. What ever happened to our great and unbreakable friendship we had when we were kids. Oh right. Grew up, got lovers, and got jobs. Steve thought as sleep overtook him.

Back at the hill . . .

Jamie was sitting on the hill. Her knees pulled up to her chest with her arms wrapped around them. She had her head buried in her knees. She was still sobbing, but sobbing lightly. Soda sat down by her and pulled her into his lap. She tried to pull away, but her aching back wouldn't let her. Soda started to carefully and lovingly rub her back. She nuzzled the base of his neck and tried to resist the urge to kiss it. Instead, she put her head on his shoulder. She sighed and closed her stinging eyes.

"The girl I love is sitting in my lap."Soda whispered sweetly in her ear. Jamie's eyes shot open and she just starred at him. He was smiling his ass off. Before Soda knew what happen, he felt Jamie's lips on his. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He traced her bottom lip and started licking it. She parted hers and her tongue appeared. Their tongues shot in each others mouths and started rubbing against each other. They were pulled apart when someone threw Soda against a near by tree. Jamie screamed as someone picked her up and covered her mouth with a rag. The rag had Chloroform on it. Jamie started getting drowsy as the world around her started going black and all got quiet. Soda was holding his own until on of the socs pulled a blade out and got him on his side. He fell to the ground and felt an excruciating pain in his neck. The socs with the blade got him while he was on the ground a vulnerable. He was bleeding something awful and going in and out of consciousness. When he finally fell unconscious . The socs got scared and took off thinking they killed him. They didn't bother getting what they wanted, Jamie.

Back at the Curtis house . . .

It was around 5o'clock when Darry got up. He walked into the livingroom to see Pony and Sarah snuggled up and fast asleep on the couch. It was Saturday and there was no school. So, he left them alone and went to wake up Soda. Unlike Pony and the others who went to school, Soda had to go to work. He opened the door to find Steve sleeping on the bed, but no Soda. Darry started getting worried. He woke Steve up by whacking him with the pillow. Steve sat up yawning and stretching.

"What's up Superdope?"he asked. Darry didn't glare at him or nothing he was to worried about Soda.

"Do you know where Soda is?"he asked. Steve thought for a minute thane remembered last night. He was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. Darry walked out of the room and to the door. He opened it and . . .
