I'm seven months pregnant and my best friend has just left. I don't know where she is no one will tell me anything. I know that Dallas and Buck know where she is. I know that Steve knows she is somewhere safe, and that's all I was told. The socs are worse than ever, I have a feeling that things are going to come to a boil soon. If that happens someone will end up dead and it won't make things any better.
It will only cause a rumble.
I don't want a rumble because Soda would have go fight and I don't want him getting hurt or killed. I can't deal with anything like that we have a child to raise. I hope that Kayla is okay wherever she is, I know she's smart enough to take care of herself. I'm going to the game with Soda tonight and Steve is taking Kayla if she comes back. I know she won't that girl isn't coming back, at least not for a while. It's been real hard on Steve these past two weeks she's been gone, he hasn't eaten or slept much since. Its tough on me too because she is my best friend and I tell her everything, and sure I have Soda and Steve but there's some things I can't tell them. I should be able to tell Soda anything and I can it's just a girl needs her best friend sometimes for advice and stuff, but she isn't here.
I hope she comes back soon we all do, even Darry hopes she comes back soon. I can only hope along with everyone else I can't do anything else.

I was walking home from the movies when I saw a mustang trailing me, I knew it was gonna be trouble. I walked home by the train tracks, an those damm socs threw trash down at me. I swear I hate em' nothin' but spiloiled rich kids. I wish they would mind their own. I was close to being home when they almost ran me over. I ran to hopefully loose them but it was no use, they caught up to me in no time at all. I was pinned down and held for a minute but I managed to get up and run a little closer to my house, then I was tackled and pinned down again. This time there was no way I could get loose. I hollered for Darry and Soda hoping they would hear me. An soon enough the whole gang except Johnny came running to help me. Then Darry kneeled down beside me and I couldn't look at him cause I was crying.
"They didn't hurt you to bad did they?" Darry asked. I only mumbled. Then Soda kneeled down next to me.
"Hey Pony,.. they pull a blade on you?"
"Yeah." I said through tears looking away from him
"Hey, They ain't gonna hurt you no more." Then he got up and motioned me to come along. I got up and walked to the house with Darry and Soda.
"You don't ever think." Darry said.
"All I did was walk home from the movies."
"Movies and books, movies and books you know I-I wish you could just concentrate in something else once in a while." Darry said raising his voice.
"Why don't you concentrate on girls and cars. Works for me."
"If you had to go by yourself you should have at least carried a blade."
"Oh yeah that would have been a great excuse for the socs to cut his neck a little more there." Soda added.
Hey if I want my kid brother to tell me what to do with my other jud brother I'll ask you alright." Darry said then he walked away. Then I asked Soda why he had to be so mean all the time and he said that he had more worries than he used to.
"How's the kid?" Dally asked.
"I'm fine. What you doin' out the cooler Dal?" Before I could get an answer Steve walked up and decided to be a smartass and ask me why I was walkin' by alone on the street a d I told him.it was nine if his business then he got mad and talked about how it was his business because of his bloody probably broken nose. I didn't say anything cause Soda calmed him down then he spoke to Dal and asked how he was doin'
