Reality Now

Chapter 8

Pony's POV

Today's Sunday July 3rd. I was walking with Johnny to the park. It was 2pm right now. We walked near the fountain when we got there. I looked into it then started getting flashbacks when I was getting drowned. Now Bob's haunting Jasmine now. Well he used to hang me and Johnny to but now it's mostly just Jasmine. I guess he got what he wanted which was to kidnap Jasmine. I heard a car behind us. I turned around to see a green Mustang. I watched as the got out and started making there way towards us. We just let them surround us. Maybe that was stupid of us but I don't know. "Well,look who we have here. It looks like a couple of greasers. Hey guys!" one of the Socs said. "Leave us alone!" I yelled. "I don't think we want to" the same Soc said. I punched that Socs then started running. "Johnny run!" I yelled. "I just wanted to have some fun but sense you decided to hit me I'll actually hurt you! Get back here greasers!" the Soc yelled. I heard them get in their Mustang and sped up. We were just about to pass the corner when one of them opened their door in front of us causing us to stop. Someone grabbed me from behind and held me in place. I looked at Johnny and no one was holding onto him luckily but some of the Socs were watching him so that's probably why he was staying where he was. Before I knew it I got punched in the face. "That was payback for punching me" the Soc said. "What's your name?" I asked the Soc in front of me. "Will Browns. Who are you?" Will asked. "Ponyboy Curtis but you can call me Pony" I said. "Ponyboy Curtis. Your one of the boys who uh killed Bob Sheldon. We knew each other" said Will. "Does my friend look familiar?" I asked. "Yeah he does. I think his name is Johnny Cade" said Will. "You got that right" I said. "Now you better listen to be greaser or else" said Will. "Or else what?" I asked. Will kicked my side. "Hey come on! Leave him alone!" Johnny shouted. "Shut up or I'll have one of my gang members grab you" Will shouted. "I don't care!" Johnny yelled. I saw Will snapped his fingers then one of his gang members walked over to Johnny then grabbed him. Will then turned his attention by the me and lifted up my chin with his blade. "Are you sure you want to miss with me?" Will asked. "No but I don't mind" I said. He smirked then punched and kicked me a few times. I saw him walking over to Johnny so I kicked him from behind. He turned around and told his gang member to let me go then he put my neck in a chokehold and lifted me in the air. He pulled me close to his face. "Listen up grease,am not the right Soc to be messing with so I suggest you listen to me" said Will. "Hey let them go!" I heard someone yell. I turned my head around to see Jasmine standing there. I watched as she walked closer to the Socs. I saw her take out a blade. Will put me down then started walking over to her. I got grabbed again and I tried getting out of the Socs grip but he kept on tightening up on me. I didn't stop moving around though.

Jasmine's POV

I was walking around when I saw a Soc holding Pony in a chokehold and one of them holding onto Johnny. "Hey let them go!" I yelled. I started walking closer to the Socs and got out my blade. The one holding Pony set him down then started walking towards me. I saw another Soc grab Pony. He was trying to get out of the Socs grip but I could tell the Soc was tightening up on him. I looked at Johnny and he was just staying still. "Hey Princess. What's your name?" the Soc in front of me asked. "Am Jasmine Jewels" I said. "Oh. I didn't realize that you were that girl who was with Pony and Johnny when that Soc got killed. Am Will by the way" the Soc said. "Can you leave my friends alone?" I asked. "I don't know if I want to Princess" said Will. "Stop calling me Princess" I said. "That name suits you though Princess" said Will. I started getting even more mad so I cut him on his hand. He then took my blade and threw it on the ground far away from both of us. I saw him take out a gun and put it on my forehead. "You sure you wanna mess with me?" Will asked. "Come on just leave us alone" I said. He smirked the put the gun away and stroked my cheek and kissed my right cheek. I saw him look at his gang that snapped at them. I felt him lift up my chin. "I'll see you later sweetheart. Don't forget" said Will. He and his gang then left and drove away. I ran over to Pony and Johnny. "Are you guys okay?" I asked. "Yeah" said Johnny. "Am fine" said Pony. "Well you look beat up Pony" I said. "That's because I punched Will in the face and kicked him from behind" said Pony. "You shoot have kicked him when he was walking over to me Pony. I could've took him" said Johnny. "I didn't want him hurting you Johnny" said Pony. "Let's just head to the Curtis house" I said. With that we started heading that way.

Johnny's POV

I can't believe me and Pony got jumped. Of course we had to get jumped at the park out of all places. I was starting to get flashbacks while we were there to. I wish Jasmine didn't show up there. She could've been hurt. I can't believe we met a new group of Socs though. I don't know why we have to be jumped all the time. I feel like we need a break from all of that. It just isn't fair. If only things got switched around. Like instead of greasers getting jumped all the time it'd be Socs but sadly that doesn't exist. Greasers well always have a worse life then Socs and nothing can change that unless we become rich somehow. Darry could've been a Soc if he didn't have any brothers. He had a best friend in highschool that went to college and became rich and is considered a Soc down. Darry fought him in the rumble two years ago I think. When we got back to the Curtis house I ran upstairs to Pony's room and slammed the door shut. Why us? I wonder that question all the time. It's not like I can stop anything from happening but I wish I could.
