We all watched TV for a while, until they decided it was time to go home. Two-Bit and Dally left to probably get drunk. Steve left to go home. Darry wasn't home from work yet, and Soda just left to get something from the store. "Johnnycake.. Can we walk down to our house so I can get some clothes?" I gave him a puppy dog look, and he sighed. "Ok.. Fine." "I'll be right back Pone!"I said giving him a hug before running out the door. "Wait! Did you want me to come with?" Pony asked with an adorable puppy dog look on his face. "Ugh.. Fine" I joked. "Wait up guys! I'm comin too! I don't wanna be alone." Soda yelled running towards us. We all started down to our house. When we got there, the door was locked. "Damnit!" Johnny and I mumbled in unison. I thought for a second. "Wait!" I ran over to the bathroom window. I always left it unlocked.. Just in case I needed to get out. I opened my window, and yelled for the guys to come over. I pulled myself up into the window and ran to unlock the door. I unlocked it, and then opened it. I snuck over to where the guys were standing. They were mumbles things to each other. I crept over to Pony and put my arms around his waist. He jumped up and realized it was me and relaxed. The guys laughed at his reaction since they saw me coming behind them. "C'mon guys.. I unlocked the door." then ran back to the door. Pony kept in my tail and then Johnny, then Soda. I walked in, and seen the table upset from earlier. "I'll be right back," I said going up the stairs. I walked into my room, and I turned white. My room has been completely wrecked. I don't know what happened. Everything was fine, but my room. I looked around and seen a note attached to the window. 'What's this?' I thought to myself. I looked at it. It read:
Hey Sweetie,

Sorry for destroying your room.. I was just looking for you. I miss you babe. I WILL find you, when I do, your gonna be mine again and I'm gonna love you so much. I know it was a harsh breakup but that's what second chances are for right? Oh well I'll keep searching, and when I find you your gonna be mine! Oh and don't think what I did to you was the worst. Breaking up with me was the worst thug you've ever done. When I find you your gonna be sorry.

Lots of Love,
Jacob xoxox

I collapsed. Jacob was my first real boyfriend, I met him at the store one day two years ago. We broke up for a good reason, he cheated on me, abused me, and my parents loved him, so he would lie to them saying I said things about them and then they would beat me too. I pulled myself to the wall and pulled my knees to my chest and cried for what seemed like forever. Then I heard someone coming so I wiped my tears away and hoped they wouldn't notice. It was Soda. He opened the door, and seen me. He ran over. "Baby what's wrong..? Also what happened here?" He pulled me into a hug. I cried on his shoulder. I couldn't help it I needed to get it out. "L-l-look at that n-note." He seen it and read it about 3 times. He looked at me. "I gotta go show Pone and John-" "No. Nonononono please no Johnny didn't know that Jacob was like that." I cut him off. "Sarah, we gotta do something. We gotta protect you." He picked me up and carried me bridal style down the stairs. I hid my face for most of the way. When we got here they asked me if I got my clothes. Soda set me down and I just stood there, letting them look at me in confusion. I looked from Johnny to Pony to Soda and again. Then I made a run for the door. I ran for a while, then when I got to the lot, I stopped. Not even two minutes Pony comes. He musta followed me. "Babe.. What's wrong?" I sat down. "Um. Nothing.... I'm f-fine." Even I didn't believe myself. He sat beside me and put his arms around me. I instantly felt a little better. How does he do this to me.? "Please tell me." I looked into his eyes that were clearly filled with sadness. I kissed him, "Fine." He smile for a second but it faded. I hated seeing him like this. "Well, about 2 years ago I met this guy.. Named J-Jacob. Well anyway he came into my room and wrecked everything. He said he wanted me back, and he wouldn't stop searching until he found me. He said he loved me and he's sorry about what happened."  I didn't think it was possible but Pony looked even sadder. "Are you gonna go back with him?" He wouldn't look at me cause I knew he woulda lost it. "No. Never. He beat me Pony." He looked at me, this time shocked. I continued. "He told my parents I said things abut me so they beat me. He cheated on me countless times. He put me through so much and honestly Johnny didn't know how bad he was. He knew about the cheating but he never about beating me." I put my head in the crook of neck. He pulled himself even closer and we sat there until a Soda and Johnny came over. "Why didn't you tell me?" Johnny looked at me. I'm guessin Soda showed him the note. "Cause I knew if I would have you would have killed him." He walked over and took my hand. I stood up and he hugged me. Tighter than before. "I'm so sorry. You could've told me. You know that!" I smiled a little bit. "Can we go back to Pony's house? I need this to settle in." He nodded, and we walked back to the Curtis House. Soda showed the rest of the gang the note, they all promised to make sure I was safe. I really have the best friends in the world I thought while sitting on the couch beside my wonderful boyfriend and all of my amazing best friends, drifting off to sleep.
