Lucy's POV

My eyes fluttered open as they adjusted to the brightness of the lights.

I heard two people talking in the corner of the room.

"How did we let this happen?" Mom asked

"I don't know …We told her hundreds of times to wait for the right guy," Dad said.

"She's only fifteen! She can't take care of a baby now!" Mom said.

"I didn't see the signs. I never heard her complain of headaches, being dizzy, or throwing up" Dad said.

"That's because you're never home"

"I'm sorry I'm operating on a guy that lost his arm or a kid that has a cleft palate! "Dad said angrily.

"Since we moved here…" Mom trailed. "What?"

"We moved here so the kids could live away from the city, have fun get out of trouble, but that backfired. Lucy tells us what Elijah did to her. Her boyfriend tries to commit suicide, now she's knocked up! What the fuck will happen next?" She screamed.

"What do want to do?"

"I want to move back to Brentwood."

"We can't just pick up and leave. I have a job here and so do you if you, have you forgotten that?"

"What about Lucas and Camielle? We can't keep moving them around." Dad said. My mother sighed.

"We could send her to live with my sister and her husband." She suggested.

"With Alex and John?" He asked.

"Yeah I'll go make a few calls."

That was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep again.

I woke up a couple of hours later. The whole family surrounded me.

"Afternoon, sweetheart. How do you feel?" dad asked. His voice filled with compassion, not angry like earlier. "I'm fine" I said "Good" mom piped up. "An officer i is here to ask you some questions, is that ok?" "Yeah send them in" I said.

She nodded. "We'll be down the hall if you need anything" They all walked out then a white male in a tight blue shirt walked in.

"Hey Lucy, I'm Officer Johnson. How do you feel?" he asked. "Ok" "Do you know who locked you in the locker room? When we found you, you had a note in your hand. It said Good luck , Love Cherry. Who is Cherry and why would she want to hurt you?"

"Cherry hated me the day I started hanging out with Ponyboy. She confronted me about him plenty of times. She tried so hard to get him back no matter who she hurt. She kissed him while he was laying on a hospital bed. She spread rumors that Ponyboy and I broke up." I said.

"We noticed that you didn't have your phone with you. Do you think Cherry took it?"

"Yeah, she also took some of my jewelry too" Out of the corner of my eye I saw a familiar red head come in. "She's here."

"What?" Officer Johnson said confused. "Turn around!" I said. He turned. "Who are you?"

"I'm Cherry. I'm here to turn myself in and return Lucy's stuff." Cherry said. She walked up to me, gently placing it on my lap. "Luc, I'm really sorry for all the trouble I've caused you. I hope one day you can forgive me."

"Forgive you? Bitch you locked me in a locker so that I could die. Now you want forgiveness. Forget it!" I said, my blood pressure rise.

The officer got up behind Cherry. "Cherry, you are under arrest for theft, criminal neglect, harassment, and kidnapping." He cuffed her. As he took her . I was glad that I would never see Cherry again.

After Cherry was escorted away, I took a quick shower and changed into a Juicy Couture track suit. Mom and the rest of the family left but would try to come back later. A nurse with short hair came to check on me. "Hey I wanted to know if you needed anything" I haven't since Ponyboy since I came here so I decided to see him. "Yes, I wanted to go to the psych ward. I have a friend there" I explained.

A few minutes I was in the psych ward. It was painted a bright green color. In Ponyboy's room Pony was talking to Twobit and Sodapop. He turned and smiled. "Hey Lucy." He said. For a moment we all sat there staring at each other. Ponyboy coughed. "Well Twobit, let's go. It seems like we're not welcomed here." Sodapop said. "Ponyboy I'll see you tomorrow." Twobit and Sodapop left.

"How are you? I heard what happen on the news. Do your parents know?" Ponyboy said squeezing me. "If you keep squeezing me I won't be able to answer" I said

"Sorry" He said letting me go. "Yes, I'm fine and yes, my parents know I'm pregnant, that's what I came here to talk to you about."

"Wait" he interrupted. "I have something to tell you too." He seemed like a 3rd grader who got a sticker on test proudly showing it to his mother.

"What?" I asked. "The doctors said I can go home. They said that I've been responding to therapy. I'm going home tomorrow!" he said. "Babe! I'm so happy for you!" I kissed him.

"So what do you have to tell me?" "My parents are furious that I'm preggo. They think I've gotten worse since I came here. They're moving me back to Brentwood so I can live with my aunt."

Ponyboy took a moment to let it sink in. "I can't let you leave, not now. We have to do something." I shook my head in confusion. "Like what?"

"We have to run away."
