We walked into the house. I hid behind Soda. "Hey Soda", Pony greeted his brother. "Everyone", Soda said. "I thought you were seeing Belle", Pony said confused. "Saw her", Soda explained, "she had some interesting news". Everyone remained quiet, waiting for Soda to explain the details. "Belle was badly hurt. She was jumped, but not by socs no. She was jumped by a greaser. A greaser we all know", Soda started. "Who is it?", Pony asked excitedly. "Oh you would never have guessed. It was our good ol buddy here Dallas", Soda almost yelled.

Dallas looked up from the tv. "Dont accuse me of anything", he said bluntly. "Are you saying that you didnt beat my girlfriend?", Soda wondered. "No. I did do it. I was jealous, i admit it. Belle is a beautiful girl. But who does she choose. You. You always get the girls. Any girl. Maybe i wanted something for once. I am sorry, ok? Is that what you wanted to here?", he ranted. "Why dont you say it to her face?", Soda suggested.

Before i could do anything about it, Soda moved out of the way to reveal me. Everyone gasped at my appearence. Lets just say, i wasnt looking my best. Dallas said a quick sorry before slipping out the door. I looked everywhere but the boys. Darry got up and i flinched and backed up a little. "Relax. I just want to check and make sure your ok", he reassured. "O..okay", i whispered. I quietly walked and sat on the couch. I made myself as small as possible. Darry cleaned my cuts and sewed up anything that needed to be sewn. Pony tried to come talk to me but again, i flinched.

Everyone looked at me which made me really uncomfortable. "Whats wrong Belle?", Darry asked. "I..I dont know", i whispered. It was obviously a lie. I didnt want to be hurt again. Im a strong person, i shouldnt be like this. "Its ok Belle. We arent mad that you like Soda. Its all your choice", Two-Bit said. "Thanks", i said. All the boys agreed with Two. Johnny and Darry were already ok. They werent into me like that. Thats when i knew it would be ok.
