TW: bullying, ed, sh, fighting, blood, stabbing
~~~~
Being Two-Bits younger sibling is kinda fun. I guess. I mean it has it's perks. Like there's the fact that I get all his wisdom, and get to learn from all his mistakes. Some not so great perks are that I'm a greaser. And things never get any easier for me.
After Johnny getting jumped a few months back Keith has really taken it upon himself to start walking with me everywhere. And it never gets any easier, walking around with my older brother I mean, because whenever I talk to someone he gets suspicious. Always teasing about me having a crush on them. It gets annoying. But I think I finally got him to lay off on watching me every waking moment.
Because as of recently he started walking with me less and less. But, now the bullies he was apparently warding off were getting more and more. It got so bad to the point that I just avoided walking as much as humanly possible, alone that is. Maybe your older brother walking with you is an advantage that you don't realize you have until you loose it. And when you drop out of school it makes things worse.
Well, today I was walking to the DX, of course unavoidably, because if it was up to me I'd take Two-Bits car. I was walking in when someone pushed me out of the way and onto the ground, I was in shock for a few minutes. Soda, being outside pumping gas for a car quickly finished up then ran over to me.
"(Y/N), you ok?" Soda asked checking my hands and knees for scrapes.
"Yeah, just fine Sodapop," I smiled, "Besides I don't need ya checking on me. I'm not your sibling."
Soda laughed, embarrassed, "Ah hell, I know, but you feel like my younger sibling. Plus, Two-Bit would have my head if I didn't look out for you a bit kid."
I laughed at his remarks. I didn't even realize it but I had zoned out.
"Kid? Kid you ok?" Soda said while shaking me, I quickly snapped out of it. Nodding my head towards him.
"Yeah, I'm ok. Thank you,"
Soda nods his head towards me and opens the door "After you," he laughs. I walk in and look around. Grabbing and looking through magazines, wandering around the slushie machines, walking the isle for a snack, and perusing the coolers for my f/d. A group of girls walked past me, and laughed.
"Oh my god, did you girls see how they fell when they we're coming in? Soda had to help them up and check to make sure they were ok. And besides they're so fat, that's probably why the fell," I heard one girl whisper.
"Isn't that Two-Bits sibling? He's like really protective of them, must be embarrassing."
"Oh my god, I feel so bad for Soda, did you smell them? It smells like they haven't taken a shower in months!"
The group of girls laugh, I stand there, frozen. I pull up my jacket, sniffing it. I mean, I'll admit I didn't smell great, but they don't know why I smell that way. It hurt though. I grabbed a packet of gum off the shelf and a water from the coolers. I pulled out my money for it, Steve was ringing me up.
"What happened to your Pepsi and chocolate combo?" Steve teased. I looked up at him, and shrugged. Shit, I should be pretending to act normal. Steve looks at me a little worried as her rings me up. "I'll pay for ya. As long as you tell me what's going on? Did something happen?"
"No. I'm fine," I reply, giving him my usual look, "I'm just a little zoned out today, and not that hungry."
He nodded suspiciously, and sent me out. I walked to the Curtis household. Pony should be home by now. Or even Darry. They could help me out. I open the package of gum and take out a piece, chewing on it as I walking into the Curtis house.
"Knock Knock!" I yell out to anyone.
"In here!" Pony oy calls from his room. I head up there and plop on the bed.
"Hey Pony," I comment, "How are you?" I look over at him, he's head deep in his book.
"Fine," he says blandly. I sit up, looking at him, then to the pictures around his room. I get up from the bed and he doesn't even move to look. I head back out to the living room. Throwing the gum pack on the table before leaving.
"See ya later Ponyboy!" I call out, no response. Sitting on the curb I glance around. Seeing a blue mustang pull up.
Two guys hop out, the three in the backseat stay behind. "Look, we don't want no trouble. As long as you know how to listen," the guy who was driving says. The other guy looks at me.
"Guys, I'd love to help you out. But I was just about to head home," I stand up. The second guy puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Unless you wanna end up dead you ain't goin' nowhere," he smirks.
It doesn't take long before they cut my ass to ribbons. Or almost at least, they did cut me up pretty bad though. I step into an alley, pulling out the switchblade Two-Bit gave me. "Fuck," I groan. I look at myself, pulling up my pants and jacket sleeves, taking the blade and pressing into my skin, pretty hard, and deep. Before stumbling back out.
I look at myself, "Shit... When did that happen?" I say looking at the deep stab wound in my abdomen. Before keeling over.
And everything went black.
When I opened my eyes I was back at the Curtis house. I couldn't make out specific faces, but I knew one of them was Two-Bit.
"Kid, you ok?" Two-Bit asks.
I see the others look at Two-Bit. "Come on guys," I hear Darry say, "Let's leave Two-Bit and them alone." And everyone else, slowly gets up walking away.
I close my eyes again and groan in pain. I feel Two-Bit press a hand to my forehead. "Kid, I should've been there. I should've looked out for you. Shit... I'm sorry." I open my eyes again, and I can see Two-Bit, he's crying.
"Hey, it's ok. I'm ok," I attempt to reassure him.
He sighs, "It's not. You're my younger sibling. I'm supposed to protect you from everything. Even if everything means yourself." Shit, he knows.
"What?"
"Don't think I'm stupid (Y/N), I know that you cut yourself today. Hell I feel like I knew for a long time. But I didn't think it was this bad. And then you getting jumped," He wipes his eyes. "You're lucky Johnny saw you fall after that blue mustang left. Or else you'd probably be dead right now. You're alive thanks to Darry and everyone else in the gang. And kid, I don't want to lose you, so whatever it is You're going through right now, let's talk about it."
I can't talk, this was the first time my brother ever got emotional around me. He's always been the wise cracker, the trickster. Never have I seen him cry like this.
