The outsiders

Welcome back!

Hi, my name is Mackenzie Curtis and here is my story. It all started when I came home from Georgia to live with my brothers now that I'm 16 going on 17 soon. I was living with my Aunt and Uncle ever since my parents died in that darn auto wreck accident 5 years ago. My brothers names are Darrel who is 20, Sodapop who is 16 (he is also my younger twin by 1 minute and 27 seconds) and Ponyboy who is 14. Anyways once I got to my old home I saw a banner that said "Welcome Home Mackenzie" on the front porch. I went inside to see my 3 brothers and the gang. (She already knew who the gang was) I was crying because I was so happy to see them all after 5 years. Who wouldn't? After all the hugs and kisses I went up to my old room and unpacked some of my stuff and changed into short-shorts with a tank top. It gets hot here in summer. When I went downstairs Darry was making dinner, Sodapop and Steve, his best friend, were arm wrestling and Johnny and Ponyboy were talking about something, two-bit was watching Mickey Mouse, just as I remember. and Dallas was just sitting on the couch doing whatever. I have to say Dallas Winston sure is a hottie! I shook the thought away and went downstairs. I sat on the couch with Ponyboy, Dallas and Johnny and Ponyboy hugged me so tightly.
"Can't... Breathe..." I said
"Oh sorry mackenzie" Pony chuckled.
I smiled at him and got up to go to the kitchen.
"Hey Darry"
"Hey Mack"
"What's for dinner"
"Fried chicken and mashed potatoes, your favorite"
I smiled and went back and sat on the floor with two-bit and Steve.
"So Kenzie how do you like it back here in Tulsa?" Asked Steve
"It's so great to be back"
Steve smiled and gave me a hug and went back to watching Mickey on the tv. A few minutes later Darry called, "Dinner is ready" We all got up and went to the dinner table. The food was gone under 3 minutes. After the delicious dinner we all got up and to the couch to watch a movie. Darry suggested that the rest of the gang spent the night and we all agreed. Two-bit yelled, "SLUMBER PARTY" I giggled. Soda and Pony got blankets and pillows for everyone. Once the movie was done we decided to just talk about my life back in Georgia and all their lives here in Tulsa. They warned me about the Socs (which I forgot about) and how they jump so always carry a blade and stuff like that. Around 1:45 in the morning we were all asleep. By the time I woke up (I was the last to get up) Darry already finished Making breakfast which was pancakes with a side of crispy bacon. Once we were all done I decided to take a walk to look around.
"Hey Kenzie where ya going?" Steve asked.
"Just 'bout to take a walk" I said.
"Can I come?" Steve smiled.
"Yeah' lets go!" I smiled back.
When we walked around we got to the park and I sat down on the ledge. All of a sudden Socs came up to us.
"Hey greaser!" a blonde one said.
"Your outta your territory" Steve said.
"Hey, what's a pretty lady doing with a greasy hood like him?" A brunette one asked me. I didn't respond. We started to walk away then the blonde one grabbed my butt and I yelped. The Socs and Steve started fighting and a red head came out and pushed me down, got on top of me and punched me square in the jaw. I screamed in pain and then he got out his switchblade and said, "if you scream one more time you're getting it" then the brunette that was fighting Steve started to kick me in the ribs and I tried so hard not to scream but I couldn't help it and I screamed and the red head slid the blade across my throat. The last thing I remember before I got kicked in the head was when the rest of the gang started beating the crap outta the Socs. I was supposedly carried home because I woke up in my bed with a bandage around my head and ribs and a bandaid under my chin. I got up and almost fell outta bed And stumbled down the stairs. the gang was all here still except Steve. soda was pacing around the living room while the rest were either on the couch or on the floor. i finally got downstairs and they saw me and say up/got up instantly.
"Kenz, we have some bad news..." said Sodapop.
"Soda what is it?" I wondered. I was kinda scared to be honest.
"When you and Steve got jumped..." it looked like soda was going to cry a long with the rest of the gang.
"... The socs got him and h-he's in critical condition and the doctor.... d-don't think he's gonna m-make i-it"
He chocked out between sobs. I looked around at the gang and they were all crying.. even Dal. I started into an uncontrollable sob.
"It's all my fault!" I sobbed
"Why is your fault Mack?" Asked Darry
"Because I was the one who wanted to go on w-walk and..." I cried
"Baby, it's not your fault" soda said i just went back upstairs and cried the rest of the night until I fell asleep.
