I saw the stars come out from hiding, with the moon following along. It shined down on me, I breathed in the clean air. I felt arms wrap around me.

"I'm going to a street race tonight." Tim pulled me against his chest.

"Can I come with?" I knew they were illegal, but I knew Tim wouldn't let anything happen.

"Wear your womens clothes then." I nodded.

He left, my heat sorce gone.


I waited for Tim, I hummed softly. I heard my love come in with his gang following.

"Alright, from what I heard its a cannonball run." Tim said.

"So do tell me are you two really married?" One asked.

"No, but if you lay one fucking finger on him I'll fucking kill you." Tim's voice was angry sounding.

"Yeah yeah I know what you did to Curly. He needed a couple or more stiches after."

"FIne lets move out."


I sat in the back with two older looking men. They looked at my legs, then looked at the rest of my body.

"So you been broken in yet?" I blushed.

"Nice and rough right?" The blonde one asked.

"Yeah cause me an' my buddy here need someone to lay tonight, so what do you say?"

Tim hit the break fast, and turned around.

"Did you not hear what I said about him?" Tim held a blade up.

"We-well we I-he was being a whore." The one with brown hair said.

"You really dare ta say that?" Tim pointed to the glove compartment.

"What you got another knife?" The blonde one acted tough.

"No I got a heater, loaded. You wanna try it out?" Tim asked.

"No."

"Then get the fuck out." Tim waited, then told me to switch places with the man in front.

I crawled up there by him.

"You okay baby?" I gave a small nod.

"Take the heater." He said.

"Tim." I yelled.

"Its not really loaded. Its for scaring off those socs, their blanks." I gave a small nod, and pulled it out.

"Try it, right to my forhead." Tim said.

"What if it really is loaded?" I asked.

"Then shot the seat, better that than me. Then I won't be able to see you." I nodded and shot at it. No bullet hole.

"Okay I belive you." I tucked it in my garter.

"See baby I don't lie to you." He pulled me over for a kiss.

"We gonna head out Tim?" The man stated.

"Yeah okay." He put his hand on the wheel.


It was crowded here, many people. Tim got out of the car.

"Hey Shepard. You drivin'?" I saw the leader of the Brumly boys come up.

"Yeah what about it, people betting on it?" Tim asked.

"Yeah some socs, some grease. Ya know the drill." He then saw me.

"Damn Tim. Since when you get a broad to commit?" He licked his lips.

"Sorry, but he's mine." Tim pulled me over by the hip.

"Looks good for a boy. Age?" He came closer.

"F-fourteen." I said.

"Name?" Tim gave permission.

"Ponyboy Curtis." I said softly.
"Curtis. Did you say Curtis?" He sounded angry.

"Yeah thats right." I held my head high, only for Tim. He gave me a nod of approval, for my courage.

"Damn your brothers Soda, and Darrel?" I nodded.

"Well Tim he sure is fuckin' sexy." He walked away, after touching my side.

"Go wait with Mason." Tim said.

"The one who was sitting by you in the car?" He nodded.

I went off.

"Hey cutie." I heard a familiar voice say.
"Evie?" I turned around.

"Yeah Shepard taking care of you?" She asked.

"I guess so." I said.

"Want one?" She asked, I looked at the bottle.

"I don't drink." I said.

"Its not really beer, I refill the bottles with pepsi." I smiled, and nodded to her.

"Hey Evie." I heard a loud voice say.

"Oh hey Stevie." I saw Steve coming through.

"Heard you and Curly were messing around." He sounded angry.

"You mess around with other girls." She pouted.

"Not as much, your a whor-" I cut him off.

"Don't say that word, its derogatory." I yelled.

"Der-og-oh-what?" He yelled.

"You know what. Don't say that ever to Evie, if you weren't off getting some diseases, she would spend her time with you."

"Fuck your just a little bitch ain't you?" He raised his hand.

"You dare touch my girl Randle?" Tim threw Steve.

"Tim." I yelled.

"Told you I would protect you." I smiled.

"I know."

"Your girl huh? Looks like a little whore to me." Steve said.

"Fuck you Steve Randle." I yelled at him.

"Fuck me? You'd probably had lots of practice." I lost my temper, I lunged at him. I just needed to hit something.

"Fuck." He tried pushing me off.

"You bastard, its always the same." I had small tears coming down, as I puched him.

Tim finally pulled me off, Steve wiped his nose.

"Your Girl has a fuckin man arm." He said.

"Well I hope I broke your fuckin nose." I yelled.

"Fuck." He just shook his head, and left.

"Thanks cutie." Evie said." He was scaring me so bad."

"I'm going now baby, I'm gonna have Mason watch you two." Evie nodded.

"Okay bye Tim." I said.


I saw Tim's car speed off before me. It blew my hair back with the speed of the other cars behind it. I sighed softly.

"Whats wrong cutie?" Evie asked.

"I miss my family. I feel like I'm speeding by too quick, just like Tim's car." I stated.

"I hear you cutie. I'll sneak you out." She said.

"Will you really?"

"Of course someone needed to give Steve a beating." I beamed.


I got in her car.

"Ready to head out cutie?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said as we sped by.
