*Two Teenage Girls on a Bench*
"hey, hey, hey, Ponyboy!" Two-Bit shouted. the grin on his face spread even wider. he ran over to Ponyboy and gave him a медведь hug. he swung пони around and finally put him down.
"what?" Dally said. "i dont get a hello? well, that aint right."
Two-Bit laughed and walked over to Dally. "its good to see ya, Dal."
"hey, Johnnycake," Soda said, walkin over Johnny. Johnny smiled and hugged Soda. this is one guy moment, i thougt. i shouldnt interfere. i started to slowly walk away so the guys wouldnt notice me, and i had almost turned all the way around when Two-Bit noticed me.
"and whos this little gal?" he asked Ponyboy, Dally, and Johnny. пони was the one to answer.
"shes a friend," he said.
"is she YOUR friend, Pony?"
"uh, yeah. i guess so," Ponyboy said, clearly not understanding where Two-Bit was going with this. Soda and Steve were off in the sidelines, chuckling quietly to themselves. Darry looked uninterested and bored, Dally was staring at the good-looking chicks passing us on the streets, and Johnny was staring at the ground.
Two-Bit put an elbow on Pony's shoulder and started to lean on him. he crossed his ankles and tried to look cool. "so whered ya pick her up? the movie? the park?" he asked Ponyboy. i rolled my eyes and snickered. пони pushed Two-Bits elbow off of him and said, "aw, cut it out, Two-Bit! what is with Ты guys and teasin me about girls?"
"youre the youngest," Steve said. "and its our job, kid."
"i aint a kid! just ask Soda," пони said. both him and Steve turned to Sodapop.
"Ponyboys right, Steve. he aint a kid no more. hell, hes almost 16. is that a kids age?"
"no," Steve answered. "but he acts like one."
"i do not!"
Two-Bit stepped in. "hey, hey, guys. no fighting in front of the lady." i smiled and giggled. good ol' Two-Bit, i thought. "so do Ты have a name?" he asked me, walking in my direction.
"Amber," i said.
"well, im Two-Bit, this is"--
"i know who Ты all are."
"how?" Soda asked.
"we'll explaine later," Ponyboy said. Two-Bit began circling me, examining me. he grabbed a lock of my hair and looked at it closely. i pulled it back impatiently.
"hey!" i said. "dont touch my hair! i hate it when people do that. they mess it up."
"well," he said. "Ambers a blonde name and youre a blonde so it fits perfectly."
"im not blonde!"
"then what do ya call this?" Two-Bit picked up another lock of my hair. i pulled it back and patted it down in place.
"i dont know," i said, "a light brown color, maybe?" he chuckled and continued to circle.
"you care alot about your hair?" he asked.
"yes," i сказал(-а) slowly.
"you wear Converse. white ones, just like Pony. and a jeans jacket, just like Johnnycake. whats your wardrobe?"
"jeans, plain shirts, sometimes plaid или checkered shirts like Soda wears. why, Two-Bit?"
"how does she know what kind of shirts i always wear?" Sodapop whispered to Steve. Steve shrugged his shoulders.
"what brand of jeans?" Two-Bit continued.
i grunted. "Levis! why?!" he turned away from me to face his friends.
"shes just like us, guys! she dresses like us too. i think shes a greaser girl." i crossed my arms.
"um, Two-Bit," i said. "you do know that being a greaser is a lifestyle, NOT a dress-up, right?"
"ooh," Soda said, while smiling. "she got Ты good."
Two-Bit waved me away. "pssh, yeah i knew that!" i smiled and looked over across the street. my сердце felt like it skipped a beat. there were two girls sitting on a stores bench outside. they were talking to eachother but were also staring at the gang and i. why are they staring at us? i asked myself.
the two teenage girls looked oddly familiar. but also, i felt like i had never seen them before. how can someone seem so familiar to another person but, without them feeling they had seen them before? without thinking, i started walking across the street, towards the girls.
"oh," Two-Bit said, seeing that i was walking away. "see ya later, Blondey!" i didnt respond. i just kept my eyes on the road and the girls. once i got a little closer i noticed they were both dressed very sharp, except their clothes didnt look at all like they from this era. the girls were very pretty too. very good-looking. i walked up to them. they looked at me oddly, as if i wasnt good; i wasnt their kind. actually, only one of them did; a redhead. the other looked at me nicely. the redhead said, "hi." her long hair billowed in the wind.
"hi," i said. "have i seen Ты both before? i feel like i have. do i know you?"
the girls exchanged looks. "i dont think so. we just came here for a...short vacation. we're not from here," the other girl said. she had short brown hair and dark eyes. she stuck out her hand and i shook it. "im Marcia Mitchelleck."
the redhead stuck out her hand too and i shook it as well. "im Sherri," she said. "but people call me вишня cause of my hair. вишня Valance."
i stared at her, my mouth hanging open. "YOURE вишня Valance?"
"yes," she сказал(-а) slowly. "is that a problem?"
"n-no," i stuttered. i know those girls seemed so familiar. they were вишня and Marcia from the book! they were here too! oh, great, i thought. this just keeps getting better and better. whos next? the Socs?
then i thoought, wait a minute: Cherrys here. i didnt like Cherry. in fact, i practically hated her. i hated any girl that was a possible Любовь interest for Ponyboy. that explians why i hate Cathy Carlson so much. she was his girlfriend at the end of That was Then, This is Now. and вишня was really rude to Pony, not saying hi to him in the halls at school and all. she had too much pride. she cared too much about what people thought of her. she let that rule how she acts to people below her. but Ponyboy didnt deserve to be below Cherry. he was alot better than her.
"hey, Amber!" Ponyboy called to me, snapping me outta my reverie. he came up from behind me. to be honest, i was still a little mad at him. i turned to him and he saw my stunned face. "hey, whats wrong?"
i jerked my thumb towards вишня and Marcia. i started to stutter again. "ch-Cherry and Marcia. th-they are h-he"--
"hi, Ponyboy," вишня broke in. she stood up from the bench. a huge smile spread across her face and when he looked at her, her green eyes almost...sparkled.
"Cherry," пони said, pretty shocked. "what are Ты and Marcia doing here?"
"oh," she said. "well, we decided to take a trip, but we had no idea Ты were going to be here too! then...this girl came over here and we found you." i looked at Marcia and saw she was staring at the the boys across the street. no, not ALL the boys. just...Two-Bit. she smiled as she watched him.
"'this girl' is named Amber," пони сказал(-а) defensively. i smiled on the inside.
"right," вишня said. "so are Ты friends?"
"yes," he said. "and very good ones." вишня suddenly got a look of jealousy on her face. i wonder why, i thought. "well, we gotta go," Ponyboy said. "see ya later maybe, i guess."
"bye...Ponyboy," вишня said, her voice dropping in defeat. me and пони walked over to the other side of the street, back to where the gang still was. but at the last секунда he pulled me over to the side. he put his hands on my shoulders. i glared at him. i was still kinda mad, like i сказал(-а) before.
"so youre not gonna tell them they came from a book?" i asked, a little bittereness hidden in my voice.
"forget about that," he said. "Amber, i just want Ты to know that i am really sorry about what happened earlier."
"youre only sorry cause Ты made me...cry."
"thats not the only reason!"
"then whats the other?"
"well," he said. "you were just so upset. i didnt mean to hurt Ты like that. i was just a little mad...at myself for not remembering. im sorry. i know ive only known Ты for two days, it feels like longer, but i care about Ты like a friend ive know for two years."
i looked up at him. "oh, its alright, Ponyboy. i shouldnt have been so mad. we fought over something stupid. its fine."
"good," he сказал(-а) with a smile. "now, lets go back over by the guys. i dont think they notice that we're right here. i dont want them thinkin we eloped to Mexico." i laughed at that. then i thought, i wish.
"hey, hey, hey, Ponyboy!" Two-Bit shouted. the grin on his face spread even wider. he ran over to Ponyboy and gave him a медведь hug. he swung пони around and finally put him down.
"what?" Dally said. "i dont get a hello? well, that aint right."
Two-Bit laughed and walked over to Dally. "its good to see ya, Dal."
"hey, Johnnycake," Soda said, walkin over Johnny. Johnny smiled and hugged Soda. this is one guy moment, i thougt. i shouldnt interfere. i started to slowly walk away so the guys wouldnt notice me, and i had almost turned all the way around when Two-Bit noticed me.

His tongue ran down your stomach. It sent chills up your back. It felt amazing.
His tongue went back up to your lips as he started to unclasp your bra. He got it off, and threw it across the room.
But instead of it hitting the floor with a thud…
“Not on my couch.” Darry says, bra in hand
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
“Will Ты please tell me why?” Ты were sitting on the bathroom floor with him. Ты were still shaking from the silent sobs that racked your body.
“Baby look at me.” He whispers.
Your eyes meet his, and Ты loose it. Ты put your head into your hands and sob.
“Hey, Эй, everything’s fine. Shh babe, it’s ok. (Y/N) I promise,” he says as he picks Ты up an places Ты in his lap.
He rocks Ты back and forth for a few minutes, saying nothing. He looks down at your arm.
“You’re beautiful, Ты know that?” He mutters into your hair.
“Yeah?” He says, looking over at you.
“I found this in the attic.” Ты say, tossing it over to him.
It was his baby blanket, a dark blue color.
He looks at it wide eyed, just taking in the memories.
“What about this?” He asks, still looking at the blanket.
“Well I thought our baby would like it.”
“Planning ahead huh?” He grins.
“Only 8 eight months ahead.” Ты smile.
He looks up at Ты in surprise.
“You’re pregnant?” He asks, standing up from the диван, мягкий уголок to face you.
Ты just smile.
He scoops Ты up into a giant hug.
How were Ты going to tell him Ты got laid off?
Y’all needed money… Ты had just bought a house, and money was short.
So of course Ты had to lose your job.
Ты walking into your house, and flop onto the couch. Ты were pretty much done with all the stress.
Darry walked out of the bathroom, towel around his waist.
“What’s up babe?” He said, chuckling at the sight of Ты sprawled on the couch.
“I got laid off.” Ты mumble.
He’s silent for a second, taking this in. “I’ll pick up another shift.” He says.
“No, no.. Ты don’t have to…” Ты start.
“No.. I’d make еще money than Ты would. It’s gonna be fine I promise.”
Ты turn around to see your boyfriend Steve grinning wildly, another snowball in hand.
“It’s so on,” Ты laugh, as Ты lean down to scoop the snow.
Ты are hit with another snowball, right in the shoulder. Ты огонь back, hitting him in the face.
Instead of picking up snow to make another snowball, he sprints towards you.
And tackles Ты into the snow.
“Oww Steve!” Ты laughed.
“It was needed.” He joked back.
Ты were lying on your backs in the snow, looking up at the stars.
Ты start to shiver.
He looks over at you. “Babe, are Ты cold?”
“Yeah.” Ты nod your head, teeth chattering.
He scoots closer to you, and wraps his arms around you. “Warmer?”
“Yeah,” Ты smile.
He picks up the naked two год old and plops him into the bath. “There. Your in. Stay in.”
Ты were holding baby Stephanie, who would not stop crying. Why did Ты and Dally even agree to watch Johnny’s kids? This wasn’t a great experience.
“Hey, (Y/N), look at this,” Dally grins.
Ты look in the bathroom to see Josh, sitting in the tub, his hair greased back, smiling like a maniac.
Ты can’t help but burst out laughing, only making the baby cry more.
“Stephie, shut the hell up!” Josh says from the tub.
“Josh!” Ты scold. Ты glare at Dally.
“It wasn’t me!” Dally says.
“Yeah right.” Ты say, rolling your eyes.
“In my opinion, we are the greatest babysitters ever.” Dally said, smiling.
“Hey,” Dally whispers in your ear.
“Hey,”you whisper back.
“You’re parents home?”
“Yeah, they’re asleep.”
“So nothing fun?”
“Dally, Ты pig.” Ты laugh.
“Nah, I Любовь just cuddling with you.” He says, snuggling closer to your body.
You’re silent for awhile, feeling the heat of his body.
“I Любовь you.” Ты whisper.
“Not as much as I Любовь you.” He squeezes you.
“Are Ты crying?” Ты ask as he walks in.
“No.” He mutters, wiping his eyes on his sleeve.
“Yes Ты are, Ты big softie,” Ponyboy grins.
“Is she all ok?” Soda asks, still sniffling.
“Yes, she’s in perfect condition.” The doctor grins. ” 6 pounds, 9 ounces. Ты want to hold her?” He asks Soda.
Soda just nods his head. The doctor hands him the baby.
(OK INSERT SODA BABY IMAGINE HERE TO GET SODA FEELINGS)
Soda just smiles.
“Hey, Grace.” He says softly. “Hey.”
“She looks like you.” Ponyboy says to Ты as he looks over Soda’s shoulder at his niece.
“Pretty, just like her mom.” Soda glances at you.
I had it all ready.
My parents wouldn’t care.
It would be a blessing for me to be gone.
I take a deep breath and take a final look in the mirror. My dark skin. Even darker eyes. The black hair I could never keep back. The scar on my cheek.
I run a hand through my hair, exhale, and open the mirror to see the different bottles of pills glaring at me; tempting me.
It would hurt the least. Less than the blade. But it might take longer. The rope would be quicker.
I reach for a bottle, twist the cap, and pour a few pills in my hand. I take another bottle and do the same.
I take a look at the drugs in my hand. I sigh, tilt my head back, and drop the pills in my mouth.
“JOHNNY!” I heard my drunk mother screech.
I spit the pills back into my hands.
I wouldn’t do this in front of my mother. Even though she was awful, she still is my mom. Im still her son.
My parents wouldn’t care.
