Just Another Greaser

Chapter Seven

My head was pounding like crazy. I had no idea what was going on. All I remembered was hanging out with Johnny and Dally, than a red mustang and everything else was a blur.

I forced my eyes open and hissed at the sunlight coming in my bedroom window. I shoved the blankets off my body and immediately hurried to pull them back over me as I became cold.

I grabbed a giant quilt from the bottom of the bed and wrapped it around my body. I stood up and fell back down when I got dizzy and my pounding head got worse. I tried to stand again and succeeded. I trudged downstairs and got a glass of water. I wonder where Pony, Soda and Darry are? What about the rest of the gang?

"Pony? Soda? Darry?" I called throughout the house. No reply. "Guess it's just me than." I sighed.

I decided to get a slice of chocolate cake to go with my water. Still wrapped in my blanket I walked to the living room. I flicked on the television and started to watch Mickey Mouse while eating. Mickey was pretty much the only thing the gang and I ever watched.

About ten minutes later the front door opened and in walked the gang.

"Ally! You're awake!" Soda said running over to me.

"Yeah?" I said shrugging my shoulders. "Darry, got anything for a headache? My head has been pounding ever since I woke up." I grumbled and took another bite of my cake.

"Ally, do you know how long you were asleep for?" Soda asked looking more serious than I've ever seen him before.

"No? How the hell would I know? I've been asleep." I said rolling my eyes at him.

"You've been asleep for four whole days. We were close to taking you to the hospital." Soda said looking close to tears. I set the plate with my cake on it on the table next to me along with my cup of water.

"What? Why was I asleep for that long?" I asked, I felt my eyes go wide.

"You don't remember what happen?" Pony squeaked next to me.

"Last thing I remember was walking around town with Johnny and Dally." I shrugged.

Pony have Darry a look and Darry nodded. I stared at Ponyboy waiting for an explanation.

"Couple a Socs jumped you and Johnny. When you were walking past the field. They beat Johnny pretty bad but thankfully they didn't hurt you to seriously. You got a couple scratches and bruises on your face and ribs. He hasn't been to the house since that night. Says he can't see you." Ponyboy explained slowly. I slowly reached a hand up to touch my face and hissed when a stinging pain shot through my cheek.

"Son of a bitch." I growled. "Rotten Socs. It was the same bastard from the other night. The sicko who tried to rape me." I said through tears. I had tried to hold them back but failed. I hated crying in front of the gang. I always felt the need to prove to them I wasn't just some silly little girl.

"Awe don't cry Ally." Soda said looking heartbroken.

"We're gonna find that Soc." Two-Bit spoke up.

"He's gonna regret ever even looking at you." Steve growled. The entire gang looked angrier than I've ever seen them. I noticed Darry hadn't said anything. He just looked at me.

"Darry?" I asked softly.

"You boys better head home. It's getting dark." Darry said seeming to snap out of his little trance.

"N-." Steve was about to say something when Two-Bit slapped him on the back of the head and dragged him outside. What was that about?

Darry started to pace the room pawing at his face.

"Darry, are you okay?" I asked cautiously.

"M-maybe you'd be better off," Darry mumbled. "Maybe you'd be better off in a home." What? He couldn't be serious. "You've just been gettin yourself hurt around here. The hell were you thinkin mouthin off to a Soc when it was just you and Johnny. You're a girl and Johnnys a scared kid. You're lucky you weren't killed. Stupid, that's what you are. You're just like Pony, neither one of you think, dammit. At least Pony does well in school. You're a damn dropout just like Soda. You don't think at all. You're gonna get yourself killed." Darry went on ranting and shouting at me as I stood frozen in place. I watched as Darry tipped over and broke a lamp and punched the wall.

"HEY! Don't you dare talk to her like that! The hell is the matter with you Darry! She's your kid sister. You shouldn't be talkin to her like that. Mom and dad would both smack you upside the head of they were here." Soda shouted at him.

"You shut up!" Darry shouted. "Don't talk about mom and dad!"

"Both of you give it a rest!" Pony stepped in.

All three of my brothers continued to holler at each other and shout insults. I just stood there frozen. I couldn't take this anymore. I finally worked up the courage and energy to move my feet and I ran out the front door.

Ponyboys POV

"Dumbass! She's your kid sister! You can't just talk to her like she ain't nothin!" Soda yelled at Darry.

"You know I love Ally but she almost got herself killed out there!" Darry shouted back. "She could've at least carried a blade but no, she never thinks."

"If she had carried a blade it would've been a good reason to cut her up into bits! Besides, you would've hollered at her for carryin one anyway." Soda defended Ally.

"Both of you, shut up!" I shouted. Than, I heard the front door slam. I turned around and saw Ally's blanket on the floor. "You damn idiots." I muttered before running out the door after my twin sister. I knew Darry and Soda weren't far behind.

Where the hell did that girl go so fast?

"Where the hell did she go?" Soda asked rubbing his neck.

"How the hell would I know?" Darry grumbled.

"Johnny." I said taking off towards Johnnys house.

We arrived at Johnnys in seconds. I could see shadows through the living room curtain. My blood ran cold and shivers went down my spine. I heard a loud and scared scream coming from inside and it didn't belong to Johnny so it had to be Ally.
