~Ella's P.O.V~

The walk to The Lot was a rather cold one, making me snuggle closer to Johnny. I didn't mind though and neither did he, simply wrapping his arm around my waist. Two-Bit had taken off after the little incident with the Socs, probably going to get more beer.

At the moment, the boys were seated on the ground while I sat on Johnny's lap, messing with his long, tan fingers. I was bored, completely uninterested in what the boys were talking about so had taken to messing with Johnny to pass the time.

A gasp escaped my lips as Johnny nudged me closer to him, removing his fingers from my grasp. I stiffled a yawn, turning my head so he wouldn't notice.

"You're tired" He stated, leaning back against the old car seat.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I replied, reaching up to comb a few strands of hair away from his face. Johnny chuckled, brushing my hands away before he began to speak.

"Well before you fall asleep, which will be here shortly, I need to ask you somthin'"

"Ok what is it?" I asked, adjusting myself on his lap.

" Would you go out with me? You know be my girl" He was nervous, cheeks flushing a deep crimson.

"Yes, I would love to be your girl Johnny"

A smile grew on his face, his lips soon pressing to mine. They were soft and warm as they slowly moved against mine. My hands were buried into his hair, twirling the dark strands between my fingers.

"That's disgustin'" Ponyboy groaned, rolling over on his side.

"Then go back to sleep and don't watch" I replied.

"I can't sleep when I know you two are gettin' it on over there" He looked over at us, " And I know as soon I roll over and go to sleep you two love birds will be at it again"

"Fine. What will make you go to sleep Pony?" I asked, resting my head on Johnny's chest, taking in his warmth.

Ponyboy held his arm out, beckoning me to come towards him. I shook my head, a frown forming on his face.

"Ella don't make me come over there and get you" Ponyboy threatened.

"Oooh I'm so scared" I joked.

Ponyboy got up, plopping himself beside Johnny and I, an evil smirk playing on his lips. His hands were creeping towards me, nice and slow. I moved closer to Johnny, fisting his t-shirt between my fingers. Johnny's hands rested on my lower back before moving flat against him, arms locking around my waist.

Pony's hands had gotten closer, aiming for my midsection. I recognized his target immediately, my hands going to cover my sides. He had beaten me though, brushing the ticklish skin with his fingertips. I began to giggle, attempting to remove myself from Johnny.

"Alright alright!" I exclaimed. His hands stopped moving, a smug smile on his face. I shoved him over, setting myself between the two boys. Pony's head rested in my lap, eyes drooping shut as I raked my fingers through his hair. Johnny's arm wrapped around my waist again, pressing my side against his. My head fell to his shoulder, eyes shutting. I was out a few minutes later.

~Few hours later~

~Johnny's P.O.V~

"Johnny wake up" Someone demanded, giving my shoulder a gently shake. My eyes fluttered open, taking in the boy standing above me. "I fell asleep. Do you know what time it is?" Ponyboy asked.

"No, I fell asleep too" I replied.

"Alright man, I better go but make sure you get her home soon. Dally's probably worried outta his mind" He said, motioning to the sleeping Ella. She was still fast asleep, curled into my side. Her head layed on my chest, hand resting on my stomach, fisting my black t-shirt between her fingers.

I nodded, watching as Ponyboy turned around, running in the direction of his house. My eyes shut once again, slipping back into a peaceful slumber.

"Johnny! Johnny come on get up!" A voice yelled, shaking my shoulder roughly. I quickly sat up, awakening Ella in the process.

"What's going on? She asked, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"Darry hit me, now come on guys I need some time to cool off" Ponyboy said.

We didn't question it, Ella and I both getting up to follow him. I didn't have a clue where we were going but we followed Ponyboy anyway. Knowing that if we didn't and something happened, he would be all alone with no one to help.

We ended up at the park, sitting on top of the playground equipment. Pony was calming down now, taking long drags of his cigarette. Ella had been comforting him, telling him that everything was fine and that Darry hadn't meant to hit him. I couldn't help but feel jealous as he brought her in for a hug, resting his free hand on the small of her back.

When they broke apart and Pony was completely fine, she moved back over to me, giving me a quick kiss on the lips. Ella pulled away to soon for my liking causing me to groan in response. She didn't laugh though, as a matter of fact she didn't give me a response at all. Her attention was drawn to something else, something that had her shaking.

"Jo it's those guys from earlier" She whispered. I turned to Ponyboy, wondering what we should do.

"Just keep calm" He said.

Ella's hand caught mine, squeezing my hand tightly. I pulled her closer to me, watching as the guys climbed out of the car, moving towards. The three of us climbed down, Ella being pulled behind us.

"That's the guy from the other day" Ponyboy motioned towards the guy with the bandaged nose. "And I can gurantee he's still holding a grudge against her."

"Then she needs to get outta here, if he's sees her"

"No, I'm not leaving you guys" Ella snapped, giving us a sign that she wasn't going to budge on her answer.

"Fine" I sighed, "Just stay behind us"

She nodded, keeping still as the guys walked over to us, obviously drunk. They were definitely the guys from earlier, the same car and faces gave that away.

"Well look who we have here, the kids that tried picking up our women" The one snarled. I believe his name was Bob or something like that.

"Maybe we should teach them a lesson" Another said. They moved closer to us, slightly stumbling.

"It's the guy with the rings" Ella whispered. I was confused for a second, realizing what she meant.

It was the guy who had jumped me, his rings proved that. Seeming how they were permanently marked on my face.

"And would you look at that. David it's the broad that broke your nose" Bob pointed out, motioning towards the girl behind me.

"I guess we can teach her a lesson too" David sneered.

My blood ran cold, anger sparking inside of me. They were talking about hurting Ella, MY Ella. The thought of them laying a hand on her made me angrier, clenching and unclenching my hands.

"If you think you're going to lay a hand on her you better think again" Ponyboy growled.

"Oh yeah? What are you going to do stop us?" Bob taunted.

In a quick few seconds, they had us seperated, Ponyboy and I being held back. Bob had managed to grab Ella, pressing her back against him. Her eyes were wide with fear, whimpering as his hand skimmed down her stomach. As he reached her private parts, she squirmed, his hand resting above the area. Tears gushed down her cheeks, the soft whimpers continuing.

"Don't you even dare" I warned, attempting to move from the guys grip.

"Like you're going to do anything. You're just a Greaser. Nothing but white trash and long greasy hair."

"And you're just a Soc. Nothing but white trash with Mustangs and madras" Ponyboy mimicked, spitting in Bob's direction.

"Oh your going to get it you little punk" Bob dropped Ella, moving towards Pony as she sunk to the ground, her knees being brought to her chest. She looked at me, eyes red and puffy, tears still rolling down her cheeks.

As soon as the guy holding me releases me I'm going to run to her, gather her in my arms and never let go. Although, she was still frightened she began to move, hands moving towards the beer bottle beside her. Something the guys must've dropped. Her hand pulled back before flicking forward, releasing the bottle.

The bottle wacked Bob in the back of the head, making the him release his grip on Pony's shirt. His hands flew to the wounded area, wincing as he touched it. I was released, the guy behind me rushing to the other's boy aid.

"Run!" Ponyboy exclaimed. I didn't hesitate, pushing myself towards Ella, pulling her from the ground. Grabbing her hand as we ran.

~Ella's P.O.V~

I struggled to keep up with Johnny, his longer legs giving him much of an advantage. He turned to me every few seconds, checking to make sure I was still there. Even though my hand was still being held in his.

"Wait!" I stopped running, pulling Johnny to a complete stop. "What about Ponyboy?"

"I'll go back to get him" He said, urging me towards the road. "You wait here" I nodded, his lips pressing against mine before he ran back towards the park.

Johnny still hadn't returned and I was starting to get worried. It wasn't like Johnny to keep someone waiting for so long.

Shouldn't I go help him?

What if something serious happened?

What him or Ponyboy got hurt?

Thoughts ran through my head, nearly driving me to insanity. I HAD to know what was happening. I couldn't wait another minute, I had to now.

I moved from behind the tree, running in the direction Johnny had went. The park came to my view, the large fountain standing out. I'd caught sight of two-heads peaking out from the under the fountain. They were faced away from me, not moving. My footsteps became quicker, rushing towards the two of them.

I couldn't help but scream as soon I reached them. It wasn't a happy scream either. It was a scream of pure and complete terror.

"Oh my god!"
