•~Michelle's P.O.V~•
I didn't end up going to the movies. I ended up stuck in a stuffy, smelly car with drunk teens trying to feel me up. As my cousin drove around looking for him and Bob's girlfriend, I thought about Dallas.

He showed up at my house almost every day, to 'hang out'. He flirted, kissed me, and asked me on dates. No matter how many times I rejected him. Ponyboy told me about his girlfriend, Sylvia, and that you could tell they were together if he didn't have his ring on. Recently, it's been back on.

I definitely didn't want a date with Dally while he was taken.

I wanted so desperately to be with Dallas, but as I looked at Randy and saw a raging fire in his eyes as he saw his girlfriend with Two-Bit I knew it would never happen. A Soc and a Greaser? Together? Especially if one was a menace to society and the other a trophy to the town who was going to eventually leave.

Bob and Randy climbed out, as did I. Ponyboy and Johnny were surprised to see me. Although Ponyboy did know I was supposed to go to the movies, he didn't know that I had to stay with Randy.

As they started to argue with Cherry and Marcia, I could feel Ponyboy staring at me. He looked like he wanted to ask me something.

"Listen we got five more in the backseat." I gulped as I realized what Randy said. He was going to jump them if he had the chance.

Two-Bit grabbed an empty beer bottle, busted the bottom, and handed it to Ponyboy as he flicked out his switchblade.

"Pity the backseat!" I grabbed Randy's shoulder as I stared at Two-Bit in fear. Would he actually stab someone?

"Randy let's just-"

Randy grabbed my wrist and pressed me against the car.

"Get in the goddamn car." I felt as if I could feel his hand on my bones.

"Randy, that hurts." I gulped as I spoke. Whenever he was like this, I tried not to speak back to him. His other hand grabbed my chin, his thumb pressed against my jaw.

"Hey, man leave her be!" Ponyboy yelled as Cherry and Marcia climbed into the car.

I looked at him and shook my head.

"I-I'll get in the car, Randy. Just let me go." He let go of me and I hurriedly got into the car.

"Michelle, are you alright?" As I stared at Cherry, tears welled in my eyes. I was tired of this and something told me this night wouldn't end well.

-

We came to a stop when I finally spaced back to the car. I was still in the car. Surrounded by boys but Cherry and Marcia must have been dropped off at home.

"Stay in here Michelle." The boys filed out.

"Randy please, they're just kids." He stared at me for a moment, before slamming the door in my face. He was sobering up.

I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry as I knew it was Ponyboy and Johnny. I knew Johnny had been jumped before and I'd heard that Ponyboy was jumped not too long ago. I didn't want it to happen again.

Stay in here Michelle

I ignored what I was told and ran up the hill to the park. Maybe on a summer day, this park would've been beautiful and calm but today it was cold and dark. I pushed Bob away from Ponyboy as I pulled him out of the water. Johnny ran up to me as I helped Ponyboy up.

My heart beat fast and my hands were probably as cold as Ponyboy's.

"When I tell you to do so, run." Johnny stared at me. I could tell he didn't want to listen but he would.

"What the hell are you doing Michelle?" Randy asked as Bob grabbed my wrist, worsening the already appearing bruise.

"You like these Greasers so much? You or them?" I glanced back at the two, Johnny shook his head.

"Me." I looked back at them.

"Run."
