Chapter 9 - Emotions

As I plopped on my bed I felt a sharp pain in my ankle. Shit I forgot I twisted the damn thing in the monkey bars. I guess it isn't that bad since I forgot about it and walked on it for awhile but it did hurt a lot. I turned around on my stomach, letting my head hang off the side of the bed and staring at the floor.

" I hate you!!" I heard those words again in my head. Darry treats me so different from Ponyboy and Sodapop. It's like he thinks just because I am a girl I can't do anything, and that I can't take care of myself. I can take care of myself damn well.

" I made it this far didn't I?" I said out-loud. And now I have Dally mad at me. I didn't want him to take the blame and now he is mad at me for telling the truth? I almost got him killed!! I almost got myself killed. So many things were rushing through my head. I couldn't take it anymore and screamed on the top of my lungs. That always helped me get some anger out.

" Were not through with you bitch" The words Tim said to me came into my thoughts all of a sudden. I wanted to be in my moms arms so much right now. She was the only on that knew what I felt, being treated differently. She'll listen to my problems but she's gone. All I have now is my brothers, who I can't even tell them my problems, it's hard to even have a conversation with them. I am the only girl living in this damn house and I couldn't take it. Tears started streaming down my cheeks.

" Angel??" There was a knock on the door with a voice after. It was Soda. " Angel?? Can I come in baby?"

" Leave me alone" I muttered.

" Please Angel, I want to talk to you" Sodapop said in that voice that everyone just falls for. But right now I didn't care about anything.

" Leave me alone Patrick Sodapop Curtis!! Your just going to come in this room and tell me that I was fucking wrong and I shouldn't be back talking Darry, and that I was dumb to slash Tim's tires just like Darry said. So just save it!!" I screamed. It was quiet. More tears started going down my cheeks. I was getting more scared. I never acted this way before. I knew I was lying to myself. I knew I really loved Darry and them, I knew it was wrong of me to slash Tim's tires.

" I'm going crazy" I muttered to myself. My eyes started to get heavy........within a couple minutes I fell asleep, with tear stains still on my cheek.

A/N: Do you guys think that might have been a little too much drama?? The next chapter will be better I promise!!! Please review!!!!
