Chapter 6
Days past and Nicole had become not herself. She was scared, worried, but most of all...crushed. People were talking about things she couldn't understand. The only thing she knew was that Johnny killed some Soc. And that two of the most important people in her life were quickly drifting away from her.
Darry, Soda and the other greasers stood by her door night and day trying to get her to come out, but nothing worked. Nicole wouldn't eat or sleep. She wouldn't even dance like she used to making the boys even more worried and broken-hearted. And when she did it was mostly punk, heavy metal and rock music that normally a seven year old wouldn't be allowed to listen to.
"Nicole you gotta come out sometime" Soda pleaded outside of his sister's door one day
"I'll come out when Pony comes back" he heard her cry
He sighed and went to the kitchen.
"How's she doing?" Darry asked
Soda shook his head sadly. "Not too good. She's still not coming out. What are we gonna do Dar?"
The eldest Curtis shrugged sadly and pityingly. "He's been gone for six days. I know and understand she's upset, but I just hope she ain't too upset that she does somethin' extreme."
Soda nodded in agreement.
The next morning Soda and Darry were eating breakfast. The house was very quiet. The only sound heard was the clattering of silverware.
"Hey guys" Steve and Two-Bit greeted as they walked in
They briefly nodded acknowledging them.
"She getting better?" Steve asked
They shook their heads sadly "I took a peek in her room last night to check on her" Soda said "She was staring at the wall above her bed. The one that had all the pictures of us on it."
"This is nuts" Two-Bit said "It's not easy getting used to Nicole being like this."
Darry nodded agreeing "Yeah"
The two Curtis boys finished their breakfast and got ready for work.
"You mind watching over Nikki Two-Bit?" Soda asked as he put on his jacket
"Course he don't" Steve said mustering a smile "He's not the one who works for a living"
Two-Bit smiled proudly and landed his butt on the couch. "Don't worry bout it. I'll take good care of the darling"
The trio took that and went out the door.
Throughout the morning Two-Bit just kept himself in the living room watching Mickey Mouse. He invited Nicole to come watch with him, but even the humor of Mickey Mouse couldn't get her out.
"Hey Two-Bit" Dally dropped by as the joker was laughing at something that happened on the show
"Hey Dal what's up?" Two-Bit acknowledged his friend
"I'm doing fine. Is Nicole okay?" he asked
Two-Bit shook his head. "Hasn't come out of her room all morning."
Dally let out a sigh and called up. "Hey Nikki can you come down here! I got somethin' for you"
"What's goin' on?" Two-Bit looked confused and curious
Dally sighed again "She needs to know"
Two-Bit's eyes widened in shock and fear. Recently the greasers found out that Dally has been helping Pony and Johnny hide out and stay safe. They didn't wanna tell Nicole because they thought she'd do something drastic and dangerous, but seeing her like this was making them weak and almost to the point where they would blurt out the secret. "You sure you know what you're doing?"
He nodded
Then they heard stomping on the stairs. Nicole came down wearing a dark red hoodie and dark blue jeans.
"Hey Nikki" Dally flashed her a smile
She stared blankly. "Hi"
"How've you been?" he asked
She raised an eyebrow and folded her arms. "Where is this going?"
The two boys sighed. She was getting too smart for her age. "Um, I know where Pony and Johnny are"
Author's Note: Hehehehe!!!!!!!! I'm so evil!! How do you think she's gonna react? Do you think Dally was smart to tell her? Am I gonna get maimed, hanged and/or killed by my best friend when she reads this and finds out i left it at that point? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
