Chapter 10 yay!double digits baby! Oh yeah party! Ok enough of my nerdy breakdown, thank you again to all reviews, I still love them C:! SO I changed it a bit, instead of just Dally meeting Athena its the gang. I hope that's ok. Also they don't find out about the deal though, that's real soon though(:

Still sitting here wishing I owned the outsiders :( Oh well I guess... On with the show ! :)

The week went on, and I can tell you it sucked! Not only did the beatings get worse now that Dally knows, but Dal now has me on some kinda invisible chain! I mean sure I told Mr. Cade Dally wouldn't get involved, he really didn't care that Dally knew anyway. Just the fact he blew his own cover. That he messed up. So yeah I had to go to Athena's every night this week.

Now for the invisible chain, now I hate that even more. So now Dally demands that I tell him where I am every second of the day. Not only is it very annoying and agitating, but its so, un-Dally like. I mean what happened to the Dally that didn't care if you got hurt? Didn't care about anyone other then himself and Johnny. Well I guess that's what happens when someone find outs, the only reason that your pal ain't beaten to death is your other pal is taking a real bad beating. Even then I don't like it.

So now, today Friday, we,re all waiting on Darry to go to the drive in. Everyone is going even Darry, who said he would go having the night off and all. So now we have to wait for him to get here from work. Everyones doing their normal, Watching Mickey, playing cards, fighting, and I'm out side with Johnny passing a weed back and forth enjoying the sunset.I cold feel him stairing at me, I turned my head to look at him. he continued to stair finally I said, "Uhm, Johnny?"

" What's up lately Pony? You seem different ," he said softly.

I stiffened, I gasp softly. " Nothing ," my voice was shaky, I tried my best to hide it. Still I knew Johnny heard it.

"Liar. Now tell me, you and Dal both. What happened Pony? And why can't you tell me?"

I shook my head," no Johnny don't - don't worry about it. Just something that happened with the soc's." I hated lying to Johnny, hell any of the gang. Like burning a whole in my heart. Like in a way I was betraying them, and I didn't like it at all.

Now he stiffened and looked at me sharply," what happened?"

" Earlier this week when I was sick, you remember ? Anyway well they snuck in to the house and beat me up, then Dally came in .Just freaked us both our that's all. Ok well just meet, Dally don't freak out ." Even I admit that's a bad lie.

"Do your brothers know," he ask sharply.

"No Johnny, its fine I'm ok promise." He looked at me and was about to say something than Darry's truck pulled in. "It's fine really,"I whispered. Darry came up the steps.

"Hey guys."

"Hi Darry," we said together. He grinned and walked inside. I flicked the bud of the cigarette and followed with Johnny inside. Everyone was getting ready, throwing on shoes, and what not.

Soda looked up at us "You two ready?" I nodded for both of us, he grinned and ruffled my hair, I swatted at his arm and I soothed my hair back into place. He laughed at me, I sigh.

"Ready? Lets go," Darry said. We then, all followed him out the door. We decided to walk to the nightly double, one no room in the truck, two no one wanted to drive. When we got there, of course with Darry along we paid. No way he would let us sneak in, well maybe if he was brain dead, even the I think it still might be no.

Turns out the movie we watch was Superman! Ha imagine how Two-bit was really bugging Darry, well along with Soda and Steve to join in every now and then. Other than that it was normal, aside from when Two-bit burnt himself with his smoke, ( I found it both funny and tragic) the night was normal.

Well until half way threw the movie I was sitting enjoying the movie. Superman was rescuing Louis lane, again, then all of a sudden I feel a weight on my shoulder. And a dark voice saying "That's it boy, your done. Deals off!" I swear it sounded so much like , I jumped and fell off my chair. Panting, sweat dribbling down my face. Heart pounding a million beats per second. All I heard was a girl's laugh.

Slowly I looked up, "Damn it! I hate you Athena Lavendez!"

She stood her head thrown back laughing. The gang looked so confused I would have laughed, but that fall really hurt. I stood up brushing off the little bit of looked at me a cocky smirk handing on her lips, " Two for flinching!" She punched my arm twice. I winced when she hit a bruise.

She grinned and slung a arm over my shoulder. Then we sat back down, her in the chair next to mine.

"So kitty whats new?"

My eye twiched "I will put up with all your other pet names, but do. Not. Call. Me. kitty! I believe we went over this!" I hate when she calls me that. Being called "kitty" is just so, so unmanly!

she giggled " I know , anyway who is that?"

" People I know duh! And you claim to be smart geez Athena your losing it woman."

she smacked my arm, I winced. She caught it and leaned in " what's the matter sweetheart or are you just jumpy?" The concern in her voice was very evident.

I shook my head," I just got a bruise there."

Her fist clenched, her eyes narrowed. She got like this now, I guess cause things got worse. I put a hand on her shoulder, kinda like an I'm fine gesture. She glanced at me relaxing. "sorry, still who are they ," she straightened up pointing at the gang.

I snorted " My brothers and Gang. Darry, Two bit, Steve, Soda, Dallas , and Johnny."

She looked at me " like as in-," I cut her off.

" Yea those are Dally and Johnny." Her mouth made a small "o." I nodded And we went back to the movie. I really liked this movie. Superman was my favorite super hero. Not just cause Darry, well that kinda. Also because he was originally made in World War I as a way of saying everything would be ok.

So I guess you could say when at time like this I think of Superman, as cheesy as it sounds. " Pony ," Athena said.

" Yes?"

" your weird ..."

" So are you."

After the movie we were walking to the exit. Turns out the reason Athena was here because her older sister Aphrodite was in town and she was hiding from her. I don't blame her I don't like Aphrodite, she was mean and stuck up.

" alright honey see you," she said right before we parted ways.

I nodded " yeah 'later' or well hmm not sure, soon." I was never sure at times if I would need to go see Athena until a while after deciding if I could stand her of not.

She gave me a look that said 'don't come I dare you' " Aphrodite is there so I dunno..." The look now said 'that's no excuse you know it.' sigh " fine! But if she finds out its your fault!"

She shook her head and kissed me forehead "three things dear, one be safe, two do not do anything stupid, three I love you ."

My eyes narrowed normally I don't care if she kisses me, but this is just like kitty. In front of the gang makes it unmanly! She smirked " I'll get you for this ." She laughed walking off.

"Ciao!"

I sigh, I swear sometimes I think Athena's five not twenty-two. I began to walk home. Everyone followed, "So Pony, how do you know her?"

I glanced at Two-bit " She helped me one time after I got beat up," I explained. Eyes narrowed, Dally glanced at me. I frowned, over the week things changed. To dally I wasn't Darry and Soda's kid brother. Or a lost puppy that was still Johnny. No I was like a little kid, that he tried to keep out of trouble. " I'm fine it was a long time ago let it go."

They nodded and continued walking, Dally and I trailed behind them. "So that was the Athena you told me about."

I nodded " she's real nice, so uh yeah." I looked around awkwardly I could go for a smoke but I left my pack at home. I made a note to get one when we got ther.

"So do you have to go in tonight?"

i shrugged " yeah, I'm kinda just expected to go now. No more calls so I guess."

"You guys were talking about her sister or something right?" I nodded, he hesitated then said " come to bucks, I'll help bandage you up the best I can." I stared in shock. Did Dallas Winston toughest hood ever, offer to help? Ok this is a dream, I know it.

Still even a dream you don't say no to Dally. " ok"

I don't like this chapter =_= oh well you tell me what you think. ideas welcome (:

review!
