There I was, laying on the floor of Two Bits living room basking in the sun watching Mickey Mouse with him. Two bits kinda my brother, he sticks up for me when I need it. Like last year when my father was a drunken mess and beating me with a big stick outside. I was only 15 then, but I had known Two-bit and the gang when I was only 5. I know they would do almost anything for me. Then about a month later Twobit mom got custody rights over me and I moved in with them. They really care about me, way more than my other family. I honestly am lucky to be alive from my real family. My life's in order now though, well...sort of. Twobit came back from the bathroom and yelled," what are you waiting for, lets go!" I smiled and jumped up heading for the door. I was excited to go over to the Curtis house, it was almost a realize for being good all the time. Like my own sanctuary from being on my best behavior. Two bit and I started walking over to the Curtis house, passing by Tim Shepard ... Tim checked me out and said," where you guys headed? " me being me , I said," no where you should go. " Twobit pushed me playfully and said," Curtis house, don't mind her Timmy she's in a hurry." Tim looked at me knowing that he could flirt with me later. I honestly don't particularly like Tim, he's just waiting to get killed. Twobit and I walked off in the 70º weather over to the Curtis's. When we got there I was greeted by Ponyboy looking up from a book with a huge smile on his face saying, I know your little secret its obvious. I stuck my tounge out at him and said," I'm glad to see you too, mr. I'm more mature than you because I read books." Twobit just laughed as Soda came in and said," I'm glad my brother knows how to greet someone." I smiled and gave him a big hug. Then Steve and Twobit both said ,"awwwwwh" in unison. Then Ponyboy got some smart idea to shout," she doesn't like Soda, she likes-" the door slams open to see Dally and Johnny coming through the door. Dally said," Who does who like?" I stared at Ponyboy, thinking, don't you dare. So I barged into the conversation and said," We think that Johnnycake here has a crush on Emma, and Emma has a crush on him too." I smirked. Ponyboy just stared at me thinking, really. Emma was Johnny's next door neighbor, he had known her since they were practically born. Emma was a really pretty, blonde, blue eyed girl who was only 15. A year older than Ponyboy, and a year younger than Johnny. It was true that him and her had this little thing going o where they were both too shy to really say anything but we all knew, and so did they, that they had little crushes on each other. Johnny's face turned bright red. Dally said, " no girl is going to take Johnny away from me." Then I pulled Johnny down on the couch to sit next to me and smirked, " what bout now?" Dally smirked back," that's nothing real, no permanent commitment." I laughed and said," I think Twobit has a pretty good commitment to the couch. " This time, Dally only laughed and sat down next to us. Darry finally walked in after a hour of us goofing off inside his house and looked at me," what's going on here?" I laughed and said," why are you lookin at me, its your brothers who are inviting us over to their house." Darry laughed and went into the kitchen to start cooking dinner. I don't really eat dinner or breakfast, I'm just not really hungry around those times. Then Dally asked me," Bucks havin a party tonight, wanna go right now?" I smiled and shook my head yes, then followed Dally out of the house without even a word said. We were about at the corner of the street and Dally asked me," do you like your job?" I was surprised that he asked me about my job. "Not exactly... a lot of guys are a bit harsh and I end up looking like a mess so I have to skip school and he next day." No one had ever asked me about my job before. I'm a prostitute... because I don't expect people to just pay for my every limb, so I got a job. Dally said," why do you even keep the job anyway?" I looked over at the street from the sidewalk," I'm just that broke I guess..." I said kinda sighing. Dally just said oh, and kept walking. I wish I didn't have to be that way, I wish Dally didn't know or saw me ever in that way. I have a huge crush on him, and if he were to ask me out I feel like he will never look at me as who I am, but as what I am. True love is not about seeing w perfect person, but seeing the imperfect person as perfect.
