Part of the gang chpt.3
This is an outsider story that I'm writing using the same character from my last outsiders story called Outsiders Reunited. I do not own the Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, I just own Booch. Oh in this story Johnny and Dallas are alive.
When Booch woke up she realized she wasn't at home. She realized she was in the Curtis Brothers's guest room. The room was smaller then Sodapop and Ponyboy's room but she was glad she got to sleep without any yelling in the house. She sat up and looked at the clock that was sitting on the night stand sitting next to the bed it said 11:45.
"Man I slept in." Booch said rubbing her eyes to make sure she looked at the clock right. She got up and found her sweatshirt on the end of the bed. She grabbed it and put it on. She then walked downstairs finding Johnny sleeping in an armchair, Dallas sleeping on the couch, Two-Bit sleeping on the ground in front of the T.V. with an empty beer bottle in his hand, and Steve sleeping on the other couch. "Don't they over go home?" Booch asked herself. She smiled and walked out the door, and when it closed behind her it made a loud 'SLAM!' waking Two-Bit up.
"No sir I wasn't drinking while driving!" Two-Bit yelled sitting up waking everyone up.
"Two-Bit what are you yelling about?" Johnny asked throwing a pillow at Two-Bit.
"I heard a loud slam and I woke up someone must've left." Two-Bit explained throwing the pillow back at Johnny but he missed.
"Hey guys anyone seen Booch?" Ponyboy asked running down the stairs.
"Ah that's who made the loud slam!" Two-Bit said standing up.
"Do you think she went back to her house so her dad wouldn't yell at her?" Ponyboy asked stepping into the family room.
"Probably but that drunk is just gonna hit her anyway if he finds out where she was." Johnny said getting up from the armchair.
"Are you sure Johnny?" Two-Bit asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Yeah her dad is just as bad as mine. You remember that scar Pony?" Johnny said elbowing Ponyboy in the side.
"Oh yeah that was and ugly scar." Ponyboy said holding his stomach remembering the sight of the awful scar. Then Pony walked to the kitchen and began to make breakfast.
"So Johnny...what do you think of Booch?" Two-Bit asked knocking Steve's feet off one of the couches so he could sit down but waking up Steve.
"What do you mean?" Johnny asked getting red.
"He means do you think she's hot." Soda stated so Johnny would understand better but it made Johnny even redder.
"She's... really pretty." Johnny answered quietly. "Hey...uh Pony need help making breakfast." Johnny said making an excuse so Two-Bit would stop asking Johnny questions about Booch. Two-Bit, Soda, and Steve started laughing when Johnny started turning red.
"You guys staying for breakfast?!" Ponyboy yelled to them. Dallas then got up and Darry came downstairs.
"Yeah!" Steve answered.
"Sure." Two-Bit said walking to the T.V. hoping Mickey Mouse was on.
"Nah I gotta go." Dallas said putting on his jacket and walking out the door.
"I'll stay" Johnny said while he was pouring some orange juice for everyone. Once breakfast was ready Ponyboy and Johnny brought six plates of eggs and six cups of orange juice to the living room.
"Don't spill the orange juice on the couch Steve." Pony boy said while Steve continue to lay on the couch.
"Yeah whatever." Steve said taking the glass of orange juice and accidentally spilling it on himself. "Oh crap!" Steve yelled jumping off the couch.
"I told you not to spill it." Ponyboy said while everyone laughed at Steve. While Soda and Darry put the dishes away the greasers heard yelling across the street.
"Yeah damn kid!" A woman yelled kicking a girl on the ground. It was Booch and her stepmom.
"Hey Booch is getting beat by her stepmom" Johnny yelled while he jumped off the couch outside.
"Whoa! Hold up Johnny!" Pony yelled following Johnny. They crossed the street not paying attention to any cars the were driving by.
"Hey stop that!" Johnny yelled pushing Booch's stepmom away.
"Johnny we gotta get Booch to my house!" He said as he saw Booch's dad standing at the door.
"Ok!" Johnny said picking up Booch and putting her over his shoulder and ran back across the street to Pony's house.
"Man I never knew you could carry a girl like that Johnny." Pony said opening the door for Johnny.
"Neither did I man." Johnny said putting Booch on the couch. "You ok Booch?" Johnny asked while Two-Bit, Steve, Sodapop, and Darry starred at the abused girl.
"Yeah just my ankle hurts." Booch said rubbing her ankle.
"I'll check it out." Darry said taking her ankle and looking at it. "Pony can you get me the first aid?" Darry asked while he continued to look at Booch's ankle.
"Is it ow...ok?" Booch asked.
"There's no swolling but I'll rap it just in case." Darry said taking the first aid from Pony.
"She'll be able to walk won't she?" Johnny asked starring at Booch's ankle.
"Yeah." Darry said rapping her ankle with gauze tape then elastic wrap.
"What happened Booch?" Ponyboy asked taking the first aid from Darry.
"Randy was hitting my little brother so I pushed him down the stairs then my stepmom got angry and started hitting me." Booch said putting her sneaker back on.
"Why didn't you fight back?" Johnny asked sitting down next to Booch.
"Because if I did then my dad would give me one hell of a beating." Booch said with an angry tone.
"Like what?" Steve asked putting his shoes on.
"Nothin I don't want to talk about it anymore." Booch said.
"Hey Darry can you give me and Steve a ride to the DX?" Soda asked putting his shoes on as well.
"Oh can you drop me off at Bucks?" Two-Bit said turning off the T.V.
"Sure but I'm leaving now." Darry said walking out the door. Then Steve, Soda, and Two-Bit followed.
"I'm gonna go." Booch said walking to the door.
"Wait do you wanna go to the park with me and Ponyboy?" Johnny said grabbing her arm. Booch looked down at her arm that Johnny was holding and he let go.
"Um sure I got nothin better to do." Booch said letting Ponyboy and Johnny lead the way to the vacant lot. The long walk to the vacant lot was quiet Ponyboy and Johnny figured Booch didn't want to talk after they saw her stepmother's episode. But when they got to the vacant lot they saw Bob, Randy, and their gang.
"Oh shit!" Johnny said not taking another step.
"What are they doing here?" Ponyboy asked stopping as well.
"There probably looking for me." Booch said walking over to the socs.
"Booch stop what are you doing?!" Johnny said reaching for Booch but missed and he fell on the ground. "Ow!" Johnny said struggling to get up.
"Hey boys." Booch said stopping in front of the gang.
"Just the person we were looking for." Bob said.
"Oh you were looking for little old me?" Booch said acting really girly.
"Cut the crap!" Randy yelled. "You and your friends beat up some of our friends and you pushed me down the stairs! Your so gonna pay." Randy warned Booch.
"Like I care!" Booch said cooly. "You better not touch Alex again!" Booch warned, but when she did the socs got real scared. Booch was confused when she turned around Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dallas were running towards the socs.
"Let's get out of here!" One soc yelled running away with some other socs. Bob and Randy didn't want to but they did anyway.
"Yeah you better get out of here!" Dallas yelled throwing a peice of wood at them.
"Scram!" Ponyboy yelled throwing another peice of wood. Booch just starred at them and laughed a little.
"Booch what the hell were you thinking!" Johnny yelled spinning her around to face him.
"I was trying to protect my brother Alex from Randy!" Booch yelled.
"Well that sure was stupid!" Johnny yelled letting go of Booch. Dallas and Ponyboy starred at each other.
"Let's go talk to Sodapop." Dallas whispered and Ponyboy nodded in agreement and they walked away leaving Johnny and Booch alone.
"How is that stupid I'm trying to protect my brother?" Booch asked starting to walk away from Johnny.
"Well now Randy is gonna be a big baby and tell his mom and your gonna get beat again and your dad just might do it this time." Johnny said following Booch.
"Like I care!" Booch said throwing her hands in the air. "Like anybody cares!" Booch continued to walk away from Johnny.
"That's not true!" Johnny said. "Me and the gang care about you!" Booch stopped walking away and turned towards Johnny when he said that.
"Are you sure your not just saying that?" Booch asked smiling showing her pearl white teeth, that made Johnny red only a little.
"Of course not! We thought it was cool how you fought those socs last night but we were afraid you would get hurt next time." Johnny explained.
"I don't remember you guys talking about that?" Booch said giving him a confused look.
"Yeah well Darry carried you upstairs because I thought it would be better if you stayed at Ponyboy's house instead of going to your house." Johnny explained walking towards her.
"Why do you say that?" Booch asked.
"Well after Ponyboy and I saw your scar we were afraid to send you home, and I understand what it's like to get beat. But I can't see a girl get beat by her own dad." Johnny stated, Booch then walked over to Johnny and hugged him.
"Thanks Johnny...you were my first real friend." Booch said crying and Johnny just held her afraid to let her go.
