endless love (Johnny Cade)

Carolina

why haven't I seen soda yet? Out of all people!

Me and sodapop were very close,like very close. he used to be very protective of me and used to keep me for himself, Soda was the only person to understand me. he knew what it felt like to not be liked and to be not very cared about.

I continued on my walk back to PonyBoys, the people who were following me are still following me. So I picked up my pace, I was almost running when something hit the back of my ankle and caused me to fall face first on the hard ground.

"You look lost greaser, need some help?" the guy in the red sweater asked. "No" I tried getting back up but he kicked me to the ground. yelping in pain he hit me again, cause me to bleed. he sat on my hips and he whipped out a blade. he put the cold knife to my neck and I felt the warm blood on my skin. I screamed in pain as the guy tried to put a handkerchief in my mouth to shut me up, I bit his had causing him to grunt in pain but also caused him to get up and kick me, him and his friends left leaving me in excruciating pain. I felt like I was slowly blacking out, I felt numb and helpless.

mean while I seen more people coming so I tried to crawl away, very slowly and weak I stopped. I seen two pairs of feet in front of my eyes and I flinched. I started to cry then, one of the guys picked me up bridal style and carried me. "Who are you" I tried getting out my mouth. "Sodapop curtis, young miss what is your name" I couldn't breathe. "Carolina... curtis"

in that moment soda stopped walking and looked down at me, "Carolina?" who did this to you?" he sounded mad, i didn't want to talk to just started crying even more. I was scared and I felt so helpless and vulnerable and weak. we finally made it to his house and he set me on the couch, we were bombarded with questions but soda simply told them I was to sore to talk and he bandaged me up. ever since we were kids soda always bandaged me up, well because my parents hit me. so sodas natural instinct is to take care of me.

after he finished cleaning me up he carried me into my small room and set me up in bed. I fell asleep very fast.
