Hey, first of all I want to make a big shout out to my first two reviewers, togssg16 and Greaser-Love1008. Thank you two for making my day! I really didn't expect any reviews when I woke up today and they were a welcome surprise. Anyways I can't believe I didn't write an author's note or disclaimer on the first Chapter. (I obviously have issues) Well if any of you amazing readers want to make my day please do and review!
DISCLAIMER: I do not, will not, and never will own The Outsiders. The Outsiders was written by the amazing S.E. Hinton. I happen to own Summer and Ali and any other character I will happen to conjure in my mind.
ON TO THE STORY!
Summer's P.O.V…
I opened my eyes and looked around the now dark lot. When I got back from the gas station I fell asleep and dreamt of nothing. I heard shuffling on the other side of the lot and there was a boy staring up at the sky. I walked over to him. Hey what are you doing in a lot at night? I asked. He shrugged. Just getting away from things, and what's a pretty girl like you doing in a lot all alone? He asked. I don't know I live here now my parents kicked me out after years of beating me and I think I like being on the streets better. I said. Wait you got beat up by your parents too? He asked. I nodded. You get beat on? I asked my eyes wide. He nodded. Small world eh? I asked. Yeah I-I guess so. He said shaking. Its cold isn't it? I asked as a cold breeze blew my hair around. Sure is I think I might go to a friend's house but I don't want to leave you here alone. He said. No its fine really I think I can handle myself. I said. Well then take care for tonight; I'll be back tomorrow to check on you. He said. Don't worry about me. I pleaded. I will though. He said walking off. I smiled and realized I had made my first friend out on the streets and maybe just maybe life wouldn't be so bad after all.
Johnny's P.O.V…
I walked away from the girl with the golden hair with a smile on my face, Dal would like her. I thought as I walked up the steps to Ponyboy's house. I knocked on the door and Soda opened the door. Hey Johnny, you cold? He asked. I nodded. Yeah and you'll never believe what just happened to me. I said as I nodded to the rest of the gang. What you lose your v-card Johnny? Dallas asked with a smirk on his face. I smiled. No but I met this girl in the lot and she was sleeping but she woke up when I was staring at the sky, she came over to me and asked me why I was in the lot and we talked for a while and it turns out her parents beat her and they kicked her out and she picked the lot to stay in. I said. Damn I saw a girl that I hadn't seen before at the Dingo today but I didn't think nothing of it she was hot too. Dal said. I smiled. I figured you'd think she's hot. I said. What she look like I think she might've come to the D.X today? Soda asked curiously. Long golden blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes that pop out and she's kind of tan and tall and skinny. I said trying to remember all of the details. Yup that was her-. Wait why did you leave a nice homeless hot girl alone in the lot, she could get killed out there. Dallas said. Yeah and that's why you want her here. I said rolling my eyes. I want to meet her officially and turn on my charm it's so irresistible. He said straightforwardly. Wow. All of the gang said. I'm going to check on her in the morning. I said. Invite her over. Darry said. All right I will I don't know if she'll want to but I'll ask. I said. They nodded. I let out a yawn. Man I'm beat, I think I'm going to have a cigarette and turn in all right? I suggested. Hey I'll join you. Dallas said. I nodded. Come on Dal. I said opening the screen door and holding it open. I'm coming. He said stepping outside. I took out two cigarettes knowing the only time Dallas wants to smoke with anyone is when he doesn't have any of his own. Thanks Johnny. He muttered lighting his cigarette with a squared off lighter. I inhaled the smoke deep into my lungs and exhaled. Damn I haven't smoked all day. I thought. Dallas stared off down the empty street thinking about who knows what. A few minutes later I ashed the butt and flicked it into the small cup of the ends we keep on the porch. I walked back into the house not waiting for Dallas because he was still in his own world.
Summer's P.O.V…
I laid down on the smooth rock covering my body with the blanket I had with me. I closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.
Summer! I heard my name being called repeatedly. I looked around confused watching three sets of eyes get closer and closer to me. I made out the color of the eyes, one set of bluish-green eyes, on set of black eyes, and one set of ice blue eyes. I-I don't know who you are please leave me alone I pleaded. You need to be safe. One said. LEAVE ME ALONE! I yelled.
I woke up startled by my own voice that shouted into the dark night. Well great now I won't be able to sleep. I thought. I brought my blanket closer to my body but still shivered. Tonight was really cold; you don't know how cold it gets at night until you sleep out there on a rock with only a thin blanket to warm you. I yawned still tired but almost frightened of my own dreams. I don't think it's the best idea to sleep in an old abandoned lot but it's all I have for now. I looked up at the stars and tried to count them all. Tulsa sure does have a pretty sky. I thought. I ain't never got to look at it before. I don't know what I did wrong to make my parents hate me and beat me for seventeen years before kicking me out but in a way I wouldn't be as strong as I am without them. I'm not grateful that they beat me but at least now I'm alive and safe. My mind began wandering down paths it probably shouldn't go down. Maybe I'm a disappointment to my parents, maybe I'm a mistake, maybe I was a bad surprise and they couldn't afford an abortion, maybe I'm not meant to be alive, maybe they weren't ready. I thought tears starting to roll down my face. Get it together Summer, all they did was beat on you, they ain't worth your tears. I said to myself. Even though they beat me I guess I still love them even though they don't love me, if I didn't love them I wouldn't be such a freaking mess. I thought. I let out a yawn. I should try to sleep because I know I won't be able to sleep in broad daylight, I never could. I closed my eyes and felt myself so exhausted that I almost passed out. I have never dreamt such a dreamless sleep.
My eyes flew open and I looked into black eyes…

So how did I do? Was it terrible, amazing, a piece of shit, or something? Well I can't know what you think if you don't review. I love reviews leave me one. Also another idea for reviewing if you happen to need a starter, start off with a prediction of what you think will happen next, also you can tell me things I can improve on and what you want to see in the story.
Thanks…for everything,
Emily xoxo
