A/N: Here is the update you have been asking for my frutatas. Enjoy.
I do not own The Outsiders or any of the characters.
I have been awake for about an hour. My body remained in bed while my mind wandered somewhere else. I have tried so many times to use my power, but it has only worked once. There is a reason why it isn't working and I have to figure it out. Maybe it only lasted a certain amount of time. Or possibly I forgot how to use it. No. That can't be it. Whatever the reason was, it was handing me a whole lot of tapped my shoulder, breaking into my thoughts. I looked up to see Sodapop.
"Whatcha want soda?" he gave me a funny look.
"I said Im headed to work." Soda slowly spoke, as if I didn't understand English. I bobbed my head, showing I understood. When I heard the door close, I got up and went in the restroom deciding it was about time I start my day. I looked in the mirror, wiping the sleep from my eyes one last time. My hair was ungreased, some pieces falling in front of my eyes, and the rest jumbled in a huge mess. Small bags were formed under my eyes from stress. After examining my features, I decided it was time I take a shower.
I liked my showers ice cold in the summer. Why would I take a hot shower just to walk out to hot Tulsa air. Showers are my time for just me and my thoughts. While I was rubbing shampoo into my hair I got back to thinking about my missing power. Lets see what happened before I lost it? Doctor Montgomery came. The fight was happening and she threatened to go to the state. The guys came and I tried going back, but it didn't work. When I was finally able to go back, the fight never happened. Now I can't do it. When she left. That's when it started going away. She must have caused it to go away. It must be her fault.
Everyone is doing something today, and Two-bit couldn't stay with me today. After I was dressed with my hair greased back I decided to go for a walk. I'm not quite sure where I was going, but I walked anyway. I kept getting stares from strangers as I flung my arms out. I didn't realize where I was until I bumped into a girl.
"Watch where you going Grease!" she yelled.
"Sorry," I mumbled taking in the scenery. The building were in pristine condition. Everyone was wearing more appropriate clothing than they do on the east side. All of the cars were shiny and new. People kept passing by whispering 'grease' or 'hood'. Thats when it hit me,I was right at the edge of where the middle class hang out. Too close to Soc territory. Darry is going to flip if he finds out I wandered over here. I turned around before anymore attention can be brought to me. Behind me I saw a red Pontiac parked at the curb. The same Pontiac GTO as before. She was still following me?
I got the sudden urge to approach her. Without thinking I bolted to the car, which was stopped at the curb. I pounded on the driver's side window and she looked up from her notepad. Notepad,I thought to myself, was she taking notes on me? She hesitantly rolled the window down a few inches, just enough so we could speak.
"Oh, hello Ponyboy." She tried sounding surprised.
"Cut the crap," I snapped, "Why are you following me?" I already knew why, but I asked anyway. She had the same excuse as last time.
"I am simply studying you from afar," she explained in a n innocent tone.
"Well stop." I turned to walk away but she grabbed my attention once again.
"I know why you can't do it?"
"Do what?" I said through clenched teeth, my back still facing her.
"You know what I mean. I can help you get it back," she offered, "Just come to my lab, or you can stay and never know what's wrong. "
I looked at her sorting through the pro's and cons of both things. Could I trust her? What would my brothers say? Can she really help me?
"What's it gonna be Ponyboy?"
We stared at eachother for what seems like forever before I made my decision.
I cleared my throat. "I made my decision."
A/N: What's he gonna choose? Maybe he stays, maybe he goes. Some of you guys will probably hate me for this cliffy. I always talk about me in my authors notes and I feel bad. So how is life?
Pony'sGirlfriend: Yeah you spelled frutata correctly. Did she really take his powers? Did she really?
BunnyluvsU: Yeah I guess I did make her stoop really low, but sadly there are people like that. Both of your assumptions are partially correct, but not fully. So yeah… leedle.
GreaserG1rl201: That threat was very smart, like you said, and she initially was going to do it. I dont know if I would have liked if she did that though so I changed the chapter a bit. Added this, removed that, and i made it end happily.
