Well Dally wasn't to pleased with Tim trying to kidnap me, but he wasn't going out for a fight, I mean not just yet, he will sometime and everyone knows it.

Right now, all the gang was crowded around the house, doing their thing but helping me a lot more, even doing unnecessary things. I had to use the bathroom and Two-Bit walked me there, waited for me outside the door and walked me back to the couch. I'd like to see the treatment if I was dying.

"Want anything to drink?" Darry asked.

"No Darry, for the 100th time, I ain't thirsty, and if I was, I know where the fridge is and I'm quite capable of getting a drink by myself" I said, but I wasn't trying to be rude, it's just the treatment is unnecessary.

Darry huffed and went to the kitchen. I smiled and continued watching tv with Two-bit. I think all the guys were trying to avoid the accident they've done because whenever I ask a question someone just changes the subject and the rest go along with it.

"Hey Han" Soda said coming to sit next to me. He and Dally have been taking turns for the past hour or two.

"Hey Soda, will ya talk to me if I asks a question about what happened? I ain't mad so we can talk about it" I asked.

"Sure, I guess it'll be spoken about sometime" he shrugged his shoulders. I knew Soda was the one to talk to about this, Dally was to angry to talk.

"So what did Tim say anyway"

"Well we were all just sitting around when he came into the house, without knocking as usual, he went straight to Darry and told him that he saw you and this guy dealing to some socs"

"Well he got it all wrong, it was the guy who was dealing to the socs, I didn't even see Tim, or anyone else around"

"So who was the guy, you know him?" Pony asked. I had just realized that the whole gang was listening to us, which I didn't mind, I'd like for them to know what went on.

"Riley, my brother" The gang stayed silent, but continued staring at me. "So I was walking around town and I seen Riley standing alone, so I approached him and he seemed a little nervous, then some socs came and asked them for their stuff, that's when I noticed the baggie. Then they exchanged the money and the baggie, and it was all over with" I continued. Darry didn't look to happy.

"How do you feel about him dealing? He doesn't seem the type" Pony said.

"Well I was shocked at first because he got it so good at home, he's basically a soc, he got the money, but I don't know, I obviously don't encourage it but is it really that bad of a thing?" I wasn't even so sure about it. I mean yeah its bad but.

"Yes it's bad Han and I encourage you to stay away from that stuff and possibly even him" Darry crossed his arms. I knew that was coming and Darry wasn't going to keep me away from my only family member left, by blood of course. But I wasn't goin' to start another fight today.

"So anyway, Darry, why did you believe him" I said turning to him.

"Well it's not exactly that I believed him, it's just I got so overwhelmed when he told me and I didn't want that behaviour around Ponyboy, so I just lost it, I sure am sorry" Darry said and I know he sure did mean it. It's a odd thing to see Darry with an upset look on his face.

"Yeah, I was sure it was an honest mistake, I should have just came back instead of letting those socs try and kill me"

I kind of felt bad for making the guys feel bad for no reason, sure its okay to talk about it and it was a lousy thing to do but it's over now, I'm alive and I'm back to being happy with my boys.

As the evening went on it was getting very boring, but sadly I wasn't allowed to leave the house. This point in my life was miserably boring. Dally had gone out earlier alone, so we all know what he's doing. We tried to stop him but it was impossible of course. Darry keeps telling me he will be okay, which makes me feel worse and that something bad will definitely happen.

"Hey Han, you okay? You look a bit stressed or something" Soda said.

"I'm fine I guess, I'd love to get outside or something, and I want Dal to come back, in decent shape" I almost laughed at that last part.

"Come on" He said putting his arm out. I took his hand.

"Where we going?" I asked before we went out the door.

"Dar I'm taking Hannah out" Soda yelled and Darry just nodded his head.

Soda dragged me out to the truck and opened the door for me. I hopped in and slammed the door shut. They really needed a new truck.

Soda started driving but he wouldn't tell me where we were going every time I asked so I quit askin' and paid attention to the view. It was really beautiful here if you really looked around. No wonder Pony loves the sunset, it's the prettiest thing in Tulsa.

We were driving at least an hour before we got to this small field like thing. Soda drove up a small hill and parked the truck. It was hard to tell where we were. Soda came around and helped me out of the truck. We walked the rest of the little hill and the view was breathtaking. I couldn't help but smile. It was the prettiest thing I've ever seen in my life.

"Soda, this is gorgeous" I sighed. I never stopped smiling.

Soda laughed. "Come on lets go sit down"

We walked to a huge rock sitting on the edge of the bank. We sat down on the flatter spots. I didn't even pay attention to Soda, I was to busy focusing on the view.

"You're like Pony when it comes to this huh" Soda said looking out over the bank.

"I guess so, who wouldn't think this is beautiful, you come here often?"

"No, I haven't been here since mom and dad died, they'd always bring us here, mainly because Pony loved it here"

I lid my head back on Soda's shoulder. I loved Soda, but it was a different love, I haven't felt like this with anyone before. He was an amazing brother, it's like we were meant to be. Not relationship wise but a sibling relationship, we both love each other but not the same way I love Dally and the same way he use to love Sandy.

We stayed there for at least an hour just talking. It was nice to get out with Soda like that, we never get to spend time alone.

"This was really nice" I said on our way back home. It was getting pretty dark so we left. Plus Darry would kill us if we stayed out to late.

"It was" He smiled

We soon got home but Darry was the only one in the house.

"Hey where's everyone else?" I asked dropping my coat.

"On the way to get Dallas" He sighed crossing his arms and shaking his head.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"Get your coat Hannah, we gotta bail him out again" Soda said turning around to walk out the door.

Bail him out? He was in jail? What could he possibly do to get him in jail? I can't wait to ask these questions when I get to speak to him. This guy I swear.
