The new girl in the gang

Chapter 10

Jonny POV
"Who took out the pizza for me?" Penelope asks "I heard it beeping and took it out." She smiles at me. I didn't tell her how I brunt myself taking it out, I've never taken out pizza before.

As we eat in front of the tv Dallas walks in, he sees me looking at him and smiles. He gets some food sits down, Penelope looks at him mad but says nothing. She falls asleep on Sodas shoulder, which makes it Dally's turn to looks mad. "Well I'm heading home, goodnight." I say and get up, "you can stay here tonight." Darry says "sleep down here with Penelope." I shake my head "the sooner I get home the easier it will be to sneak in." I say truthfully, as I'm walking back to my house I can't help but wonder if I could climb in though the window.

I get home and don't hear fighting, only crying from my sister and my room. Now yes I know your thinking I should let her meet the gang, but I don't think I could handle it the not knowing where she is. She's supposed to hide in the closet which I cleaned out for her, piled with books, and fairy light, it looks real nice and when you shut the door you can't see the light, in case she needs to hide.

"Rose whats wrong?"  I ask worried I always tell her to hide and stay quiet, she usually does and they take it out on me. "Nothing." Rose says turning away "did they find you?" "No, they just yelled though out the house how.." she starts sobbing, I run in and pull her in a big hug "they said how you hate me that's why you always leave." She says sobbing at the end "I don't hate you, you know that. I just leave for school." Why can't I go "your 6, you couldn't even go if you wanted to."

Yes I know what your thinking, and no I haven't told the gang about her, I just can't bring us to run away because I don't know anywhere safe to take us. If you were thinking something else then, I don't know what to say.

"I have an idea, I'll take you at to eat tomorrow." She looks up at me with sad eyes, she reminds me of a sad, lost, puppy, "ok." She says a bit happier, I bring her close and we lay in bed. I hear her go to sleep, then I hear the front door open "how dare you, your a.." I gently grab Rose and put her in the closet where I have a tiny, mattress thats made for a crib. I just shut the closet door when mom walks in she says nothing but punches me in the face.

I lay in bed feeling a bruise forming, it takes forever to fall asleep, but once I do I'm out.

The next day I go to the Curtises house, while Rose sleeps I walk in and Penelope greets me with a smile, I smile back and sit down. I hear her leave the kitchen where I assume she made breakfast and sit on the ground next to me looking at my cheek "what happened?" She asks sounding mad "I tripped and feel on the stairs, it's nothing." She looked like Dally would if he saw "tell me the truth." She says sternly "got in a fight with myself when I pulled the sleeve though my shirt it his me in the cheek." I say "tell me the truth or I will go ask your house." Everyone in the gang has done this before but they never threaten me or keep asking. "My mom got mad at me last night and hit me." She looks sad "sorry to hear that, but you should always tell me the truth." "What happened to you?" I ask looking at her puffy red eyes. "I cried myself to sleep." She says blankly, "morning." Soda says, "whats going on?" He says when he sees her staring at me.

Have I said yet how she is hot, "nothing." Penelope says smiles at me and walks to finish breakfast.
