Two-Bit regrets about Tim's death.

Two-Bit POV

Darry came back after a few, followed by Pony, Johnny, and Steve. Dally said Soda was in his room, sleeping. I looked at Darry and motioned for him not to tell the other three. He nodded and let them in. Pony and Johnny looked like they wanted to jump on me, but Steve held them back. I noticed I was covered in bruises and a cut or two. Instead, they both hugged me. I hugged back and smiled.

"Hey guy, you okay?" Johnny asked.

"I will be." I said.

"You sure?" Pony asked. I nodded. Darry pried them off of me and handed me the clothes. I tried to get up, but it hurt. Pony helped me up and I used him for support. He leaded me to Darry's room and left me there. He shut the door, leaving me sitting on the bed. I took off the towel and pulled on the boxers Darry got me. Then, I pulled on the jeans and the T-shirt. I stumbled to my feet and leaned against the wall. When I opened the door, Darry rushed to me with my wheel chair. I sat down and rolled myself to my corner and sat there. I scratched the back of my head; my hair was ungreased again. Memories. It was so uncomfortable to sit, I squirmed for a minute. Dally noticed and motioned for me to keep the squirming down a bit. I tried. Finally, slouching in my chair, I found a comfortable spot. I rubbed a hand through my hair. I remembered six months ago.

I had been woken by Kendra that morning. She was jumping on me and it was annoying. But I didn't really mind. Anyways, I noticed she had cut her hair unruly short, like mine was. She even greased it. She looked just like me. Then she told me to dress like her to fool Steve. And I did. I remember, there were Socs who followed me. I out ran them and hid in the DX with Soda. When they left, Soda kissed me. That was too funny. Then, when Kendra showed up, we went on with the plan to fool Steve, and we did.

Then we went to the Curtis house to get me a shirt. Of course, Kendra doesn't like him, so she wanted to fool him too. It didn't work and he found us out. I thought it was funny. Then I got one of Darry's shirts and went out to get Pony and Johnny from the movies. But I didn't get to them, I was jumped. I got a nasty, but tuff, cut on my neck from it. Then, I remembered it was Dally and Tim who saved me.

Tim.

Tim was there to look after me, even though I was much older than him. He wanted to protect me and Dally for some odd reason. I don't know why, he just did.

Steve got me pregnant.

I remembered that Kendra said it was Steve who got her pregnant. But it wasn't Steve. I soon found that out by shooting him. I found out it was Tim who got her pregnant.

Tim.

Tim saved me once... he got Kendra pregnant six months later. And Dally killed him, because he thought Tim killed me. But he didn't. I'm alive and Tim is dead. Tim should be alive. I should be dead. I owed Tim back with my life. And I helped to take it away. He was so young. He was only eighteen. That's fucking young.

"Two-Bit, you're crying." I jumped and looked at Steve, who was staring at me. "Are you okay?" I wiped my tears away hurriedly.

"I'm fine." I said.

"But."

"Don't worry. I was just thinking." I assured. He was still staring at me.

"I know you don't want to tell anyone what happened. Soda wouldn't tell me. Dally and Darry wouldn't either." he was saying, "But you're pretty beat up. Anyway I can know what happened?" he finally asked. I looked up at him. He looked back.

"Can I trust you?"I asked. He stared at me again.

"Yeah. If it's that important." he said. I squirmed again. He cocked his head to the side. "You can tell me." I looked around. No one was there.

"I was kidnapped, as you know."

"Yeah."

"And... well... the Soc kinda..." I squirmed again. Steve went white, as if he'd just figured it out.

"You mean he...?"

"Yeah."

"That's horrible." I nodded. He looked like he was gonna hug me any minute now.

"Don't hug me." He laughed, making me laugh too.

Although I don't think I'll ever be the same again.

Geez, I felt like crying myself while writing this.
