-28- BABY RANDLE!

AUSTIN POV

Hey everyone I'm Austin David Randle but everyone calls me "Baby Randle" because I'm 8 years younger than my older brother Steve Jacob Randle.  I had just ran away from my aunts house.  She has taken care of me for 5 years.  My parents moved away leaving me alone.  My only other relative that wasn't across the world was my aunt Sylvia. 

I ran away because she had just hit me.  I ran and ran until I got to the nearest town called Windrixville.  I hopped on a train going to Tulsa.  I think.  I fell asleep and when I woke up I was at Tulsa.  I jumped off and walked around a bit.  I saw a group of people walking and tried avoiding them. 

I continued walking around until I accidentally ran into someone.  There were a boy and a girl.  "Hey watch it punk." The boy yelled.  "Pony be nice he's clearly lost.  Hey you look familiar."  The girl said.  "Pony he looks like Mr. Cakie."  She said.  "Your right he does."  He said.  "What's your name!"  The girl said.  "Um...Austin."  I said.  "Austin what."  The boy said.  "Austin David Randle."  I said.  "OMG HE IS A CAKIE!!!"  The girl said squealing.  "Who's Cakie?"  I asked.  "Mr.  Cake eater Steve Randle.  He's one of my...OUR buddies."  She said.  "Omg your a Baby Randle you should see him!"  She said.  "Im Ponyboy Curtis.  You'll meet my brothers later."  "Im Phoebe Winston you'll meet my brother later.  Along with the gang."  She said

"Hey watch it punk."  Pony yelled after a boy ran into us.  "Pony be nice he's clearly lost.Hey you look familiar."  I said.  He looks like Steve "Pony he looks like Mr. Cakie."  I said.  "Your right he does."  He said.  "What's your name!"  I said.  "Um...Austin."  The boy said.  "Austin what."  Pony said.  "Austin David Randle."  He said.  "OMG HE IS A CAKIE!!!"  I said squealing.  "Who's Cakie?"  He asked.  "Mr.  Cake eater Steve Randle.  He's one of my...OUR buddies."  I said.  Wait he's a Baby Randle.  YAY! "Omg your a Baby Randle you should see him!"  I said.  "Im Ponyboy Curtis.  You'll meet my brothers later."  "Im Phoebe Winston you'll meet my brother later.  Along with the gang."

We walked to a house to see the whole gang sitting worried on the couch.  I pushed Austin aside and walked up.  "Hey whats wrong?"  I asked pushing Pony telling him to stay with Austin.  "Darrys passed out!"  Dally said.  "Well Steve I want to show you someone!"  I said.  "Who?"  Steve asked and I motioned for Pony to come in.  Behind him was Austin.  "Who's the kid?"  Dally asked getting snappy.  "Shut it Dal."  I squealed and then said "MR. CAKIE JR!"  I said getting louder than I meant. 

"What?"  Steve said.  "Baby Randle.  Your little brother Steve!"  I said.  He looked super confused.  "Wait.  AUSTIN!"  He yelled.  He ran towards him and hugged him.  

STEVE POV

After we struggled to get Darry home we sat on the couch and we heard Phoebe come in.  She walked up to us. 

"Hey whats wrong?"  She asked.  "Darrys passed out!"  Dally said.  "Well Steve I want to show you someone!"  She said.  "Who?"  I asked super confused.  A boy about 10-11 walked in "Who's the kid?"  Dally asked getting snappy.  "Shut it Dal."  She squealed and then said "MR. CAKIE JR!"  What?  They call me Mr. Cakie.  I didn't have a brother, cousin, nothing I was the only kid. 

"What?"  I said.  "Baby Randle.  Your little brother Steve!"  She said.  Wait.  I had a brother in New York.  "Wait.  AUSTIN!"  I yelled and ran up to him.  I held him tight and refused to let go. 

"Ok tomorrow I'm teachin you the Randle ways Baby Randle!  I said walking back. 

The next day we woke up and I grabbed a piece of cake.  I cut one for Austin too.  I handed it to him.  "Here tiny."  I said.  "Cake for breakfast Steve.  Nah I'll pass."  He said.  "Ohhhh looks like your not ready to be a Randle huh Austin."  Phoebe said.  I laughed and he swiped the cake from my hand.  Then Soda yelled from the couch.  "AYE TWO-BIT MICKEYS ON!"  He yelled.  "Ayeee Soda ima take off work to hang with Austin."  I told him.  "Alrighty."  He said sighing.  "AUSTIN GET OUT HERE!"  I yelled.  He walked out.

"This is Sodapop.  Ponyboys brother.  Minus Superman.  Thats Darry but he passed out yesterday.  This is Keith or Two-Bit."  "But never call him Keith or he'll kill ya."  I whispered.  "Aye I heard that Steve."  Two wined.  "This is Dally Phoebes older brother.  Heres Johnny."  We hung out till Phoebe and Soda left for work. 

I walked around town and told Austin about the place.  "So basically there's Greasers and Socs.  Greasers rule the poorer East Side of town, while the Socs run the wealthier West Side of town."  I said.  "So what are we?"  He asked.  "Sadly we're grease."  I said handing him a extra tin of grease.  I turned him to the side and grabbed a comb and some grease.  I styled his hair like mine.  "Now you look like mini me."  I said laughing.  We walked and ate at the Dingo.  We talked about what life was at that bratty old Sylvia's house was like. 

We walked to the DX and saw the puppies that I adored.  Austin seemed to love them just as much as me.  All 8 of us went to the movies and watched a horror film.  Soda clung to Phoebes arm while Phoebe had no expression the entire time like Dally.  Pony and Johnny clung together from being scared.  Me and Austin didn't care much.  Two was to drunk to notice the movie. 

We got home and Pony and Austin got talking about books since they were both bookworms.  Johnny clearly was jealous.  "Aww little Johnnys jealous that his boyfriends taking to someone else."  I said laughing.  Pony turned to Johnny and Johnny nodded.  "Since Darry can't hear us I need to admit that me and Johnny are dating."  He said.  We were stunned.

The next day we were all huddled in Darrys room who hadn't waken up yet and agreed to take him to the hospital.  They took him back and a few hours later a nurse came out.  "Darrel Curtis?"  She asked.  We all stood up and she took us to his room.  "I have good news and bad news.  The good news is he's stable but the bad news is that he's in a coma."  She said.  Darry...was in a coma...WHAT. 

She walked out and me, Pony, Phoebe, and Soda dropped to our knees crying.  Two and Johnny sat down on a chair and cried while Dally banged on a wall.  Austin didn't cry because he didn't really know him.  Then I saw a tear roll down his face.  I got up and hugged him.
