The new girl in the gang

Part 25

Just so you know I'm going to skip the year Penelope is with Bob I don't have much ideas for that part.

Peps POV

"I'm going to leave soon Liv." I say while we are sitting in her room talking, "why?" Liv says she sounds sad, I only have a week left of my year with Bob, time flew by once I got used to home schooling. My birthday is tomorrow only Liv knows this, Bobs becoming a better person, true to his word he has lent jumped a single greaser.

"I have to, my family misses me." I say, "I'll still see you around." I say and try to smile, I really am going to miss Liv.

The next day I wake up to the smell of birthday cake, "I hope you like it, it's probably nothing compared to your last birthday." Liv says, while I walk downstairs, "well last year they forgot, so this is awesome!" I say my body filled with excitement, I see a big purple cake it looks delicious. "Thank you." I say and hug her, "I was thinking we could go bowling later, me you and Bob." "Did you tell him it's my birthday?" "Yeah, he was going to get you a gift." I smile, I wonder if Dallas knew its my birthday, "do I look like a 17 year old?" I ask, Liv laughs and play shoved me, "can we have the cake for breakfast?" She says, "sure."

We were almost done eating when Bob walked in with a small box wrapped in gifting paper, "what's in there?" I ask, he smiles and hands it to me, "can I open it?" I ask, Bob says, "if you want." I tear open the nice packaging, inside I find a heart shaped necklace, it says, "no matter who you are I will always remember." I smile and give him a hug.

"I love it Bob." He blushes, "it was nothing." I can tell he worked hard to find it, "well let's get going." Liv says, I smile, they bring me into shops and buy me 5 shirts, and 3 pairs of nice skorts. Soon we head to the bowling alleys.

I'm wearing my new necklace, the bowling shoes are uncomfortable but I will live. "I'm kinda the champ at this." I say, "oh yeah." Liv says, "place your bets." Bob says, we all laugh.

I was doing horrible but I didn't mind, we were all just having fun. "What's the score." I call as I'm about to swing, "you don't want to know." He calls back chuckling at his own response. I laugh and swing, I miss.

I was having so much fun I didn't notice the gang come in, I didn't even notice as we walked by them, "so did you have a fun birthday?" Liv asks, "it was really fun!" I say, "better than last year?" I frown but then hide it, "way better." Then I hear a voice I will always notice, "Johnny go get me a ball." Dally says, I look back shocked I didn't see them, I see them looking at me sad, "come on." Bob says as he puts his arm around me. I turn and walk out.

Soon my last day here comes, "why are you leavening?" Liv asks, "I miss my family." I say, Bob looks sad, "you can always come back." He says, "I will cost, and we can have sleepovers a lot." I say, looking at Liv, "you could always not jump greasers." I say looking at Bob, "I've kinda enjoyed giving it up, I'll try." I smile, "bus guys." I say and walk out the door.

I don't even know if the gang knows when I'm coming back, I know Johnny and Liv are about to hit a year in their relationship, so he's gone on a date with her. But I don't know about the others.

I walk up to their door and listen for movement or sounds, I hear nothing. I walk in, the house looks the exact same but it feels empty, I've never been here alone, where are they? "Hello." I call, no answer, I leave and start walking towards Bucks, I go straight up stairs and knock on Dally's door. I don't have the key, "Dally you there?" I ask, no response.

I go downstairs and find Buck willing off the counter, "Buck." I say getting his attention, "haven't seen you in awhile, oh yeah I heard what happened " he says pity taking over his face, "Buck can I keep my stuff in your room till I find Dally, I lost my key." He nods, "yeah sure, it's unlocked for now." I smile and put my stuff in his room, when I get back downstairs, "do you know where Dally is?" He shakes his head, "thanks." I say and walk out.

I'm dressed in greaser clothes, all my soc clothes are ether in my duffel bag or in Livs room. I walk around then end up at the park, no ones there, I walk back to the Curtises house. I sit on the couch, wondering where they are, when the front door opens, and voices flood the room. "Pony, your nose looks broken, is it?" Darry asks, "I don't know, I'm not a doctor." Pony replies, "Johnny put him on the couch." Darry says I sit up, they all looks at me while I looks at Johnny, "shoot what happened?" I say and run upstairs to grab the first aid kit.

Johnny's POV

The gang and me where walking around after eating when we all got jumped by socs, their was 10 of them and 6 of us. I remember taking one out when I got a fist to the chest, then darkness.

I wake up while being carried in the house, "Shoot what happened?" I hear someone say, then they run upstairs the gang is frozen. "Put him on the couch." The voice says, "this might hurt." They say, my eyes are shut and it hurts to breathe.

Soon I open them and I see my wounds are covered and bruises all over my body, "what happened?" I ask even though I know what happened, "I don't know?" I hear Penelope say, I sit up and she right next to me, I fall down on the couch because it hurts to move. The gang is hanging out along the wall, "well you just going stare at me or you going tell me what happened?" She says, Soda speaks first, "you back!" He yells and runs over and bare hugs her soon everyone follows.

Darry stays against the wall, with Dally, "what's this?" Two asks, holding up a necklace around Peps neck, "it's a birthday gift, can I have it back?" Pep asks Steve runs to get beers, "no matter who you are, I will always remember?" Two says, reading front the necklace, "who gave you this?" He asks again, Penelope grabs in back and put in under her shirt, which of course Two leans in to see, she pushes him away, "who gave you a this?" She asks sounding upset, while pointing to me, "it's nothing." I say not wanting to sound weak, "Penelope are you Darwin's Bob?" Dally of course had to ask the question we were all wondering, "no, now as I have asked who gave did this?" She repeats, "some socs, and no your boyfriend wasn't with them." Soda says, "you know I've sat around all day hopping you guys will be back soon, but now I liked the quiet better." She says frustrated.

"Your right, at least your back." I say breaking the tension, I sit up and wince, she gives me a gentle hug. Soon I realize Rose isn't here, "where's Rose?" I ask panic taking over, "she said something about going to pick up Penelope." Soda says confused, "so you let an 7 year old run off by herself?" I yell, "I know where she is, I'll go get her." Penelope says, while swiping Bucks car keys form Dally. Dallas does not look happy.
