The Outsiders (Jess's story)

The Socs

As me and Ponyboy walked to the DX a car pulled up behind us. Then that's when I realized it was the same guys that jumped me the day I met the guys.

"Nice to see you again blondie." Randy said getting out of the car. "Oh and look here... She's with one of the Curtis Brothers."

"Why don't you just get back in the car and leave us alone?" Pony said looking scared.

"Oh, we can't do that. Ya see... We have some unfinished business with the girl." Said the guy who was in the passenger seat. Now standing next to Randy.

"And what would that be?" I asked ready for a fight. I honestly shouldn't be lookin for trouble. I'm not so tuff, even if I act like it.

"Well, we just wanted to have a little fun with you before. You turned us down though. So now, we are gonna teach you a lesson." Randy said getting closer to me. I was getting scared now. All I wanted to do was be at the DX. Now I've gotten myself into deep shit.

I threw a punch at Randy, hitting him square in the jaw. I looked over and saw Ponyboy shocked with fear in his eyes. Once I looked back Randy punched me back. The rings he was wearing cut the skin under my eye open. I could feel the blood run down my face. I went to hit him back, but he had already hit me again. The last thing I saw was Ponyboy yelling for Soda and Dally. After that I had blacked out.

When I woke up I was on my bed. As I opened my eyes I saw Dallas laying next to me. It was dark out, and he was snoring. I'd been knocked out for hours. I went to get up, but the pain in my head held me down. I looked to my right to see Sodapop sitting in a chair. He was awake. Once he saw me looking at him he got up and walked to the side of the bed.

"How ya feeling?" He said whispering.

"My head is killing me, but other than that I'm fine." I said wincing at the pain.

"What about your hand?" He said looking down. I lifted my left hand to see it wrapped up in gauges. On the inside there was a line if blood.

"How the hell did that happen?!" I said lifting myself up. As soon as I did, I realized it was a bad idea. Soda laid me back down and walked out of the room. Once he came back he had two pills and a glass of water in his hands.

"Here this should help with your head. And about that hand, before you were knocked out Randy had pulled a blade on you. I guess you didn't realize you grabbed it and threw it to the ground." He said with a worried look.

"When am I allowed to get up?" I said taking the pills down with the water he had brought me. I looked over at Dal who now was faced me and half awake.

"When the sun comes up. Or whenever grumpy over there decides to wake up." Soda said giggling. I nodded and fell back asleep.
