Daisy's POV

Chapter 5:

I was scared. I seriously was scared, if not terrified. I watched as Johnny pulled out his switch blade and step in front of me. Pony picked up a broken bottle as Two-Bit pulled out his blade as well.

"What do you all want?" Two-Bit asked. The man with the rings smiled.

"Nothing, we just wanted to know why we saw you talking to my girl," the man said. I started shaking, what if they decided to start a fight with us? I shivered in the cold, even though I had Johnny's jean jacket on.

"You should thank us you know," Two-Bit hissed. "My friend stopped one of our friends from flirting with your 'girl'." The man with the rings rolled his eyes.

"He did!" Cherry exclaimed. "Why do you have to be so hard headed all the time? They did nothing to us except have a nice and friendly conversation with us."

"You can shut-up now, you know that?" the ring man said. Cherry glared at him.

"Leave them alone and I will," Cherry hissed.

"Yeah, go girl," Two-Bit mumbled under his breath.

"Fine, you all got lucky this time," the man with the rings said. He looked at me and rolled his eyes. "Got a little wimp protecting such a pretty girl now?" He shook his head. We stood still as they all walked away. Cherry mouthed sorry to us before they disappeared from our sight.

"Those socs would," Two-Bit mumbled as Pony set down the broken bottle. I watched as Johnny put his switch blade away in to his pocket. I looked up at him to see him give me the smallest of all smiles possible.

"Well, we need to head home. You three got school tomorrow and if I don't get you all home soon, Darry is going to scream at me," Two-Bit said. I nodded, feeling numb. We had almost been attacked by the socs…I shivered once again. Johnny looked over at me, concern etched out all over his face.

"You alright Daisy?" he asked me. I nodded. "You don't look it. Are you still cold?"

"A little…" I mumbled. Johnny nodded. Next thing I knew was his arms were around me in a hug. I stopped dead in my tracks. My eyes were wide, Johnny is hugging me. He felt so warm even with just a t-shirt on. I felt my face heat up, a blush most likely coming on. When Johnny pulled away I looked down at the ground.

"Any better?" he asked me. I nodded.

"Thanks Johnny," I whispered as we started walking again.

"Any time Daisy," he said. I looked down at my feet the rest of the way home. I then realized Johnny and I were seeming to talk more. Maybe it was because of my birthday…I shook my head slightly. Yesterday we had talked more as well; it seemed as if we were starting to become friends, one small step at a time.

"Well Daisy," Two-Bit started. "What is it like to be sixteen?"

"Weird," I said. "I don't feel any older. I still feel fifteen, not sixteen." Two-Bit chuckled.

"It will settle in soon enough," he said. We turned on to our street, finally. Two-Bit walked us down to our house along with Johnny's. "Have a good night guys! Once again, happy birthday Daisy!"

"Bye Two-Bit! Thanks!" I called.

"Bye Johnny," my brother and I said. He waved to us and then when I saw him inside his house, I bolted to my room which left Pony completely clueless. Darry and Soda were left clueless as well, trying to get my attention by calling my name. I knew Pony would get it and then explain to our brothers why I ran automatically to my room once we both got home.

I got under the covers as quickly as I could. I pulled them close, wanting to feel comfort. I looked out the window at the dark sky. Sleep came quickly which I was thankful for.

The one thing I forgot though was that I was still wearing Johnny's jean jacket.
