I slowly woke up, I opened my eyes, I was in the woods its night time where is everyone, "Soda, Pony, Darry, ANYONE", I called out in fear, I looked down I was wearing a white dress but it was covered in blood.

Then a soft voice came from behind like a little girl it, and I heard that same voice somewhere, I turned around it was me when I was eight years old.

It kinda scared me, "Hello my name is Baylee what is your name" she said softly.

I gave a small smile, "My name is Baylee too", then the little girl just smiled at me.

Then after about a minute her smile slowly faded, then she started crying, She started to repeat my name Baylee, Baylee, Baylee, I then started to cry because it made me feel sad for some reason.

Then a tall black figure stood behind her then a knife went through her back and and from her front she screamed and fell on the ground she was dead.

Now I could not help myself I started crying so much with no control the black figure had a face but I could not see who it was it was strange, after he killed little Baylee he started walking closer to me, I cried harder and harder, "No please, Please don't kill me". I repeated but he got closer and closer.

He then pushed me on the ground and through his arm and the knife in the air about to stab me, his arm came down and I screamed.

I shot up from my sleep screaming and crying.

Soda was next to me and he grabbed me and held me in his arms, "Shhh Baylee your ok, your ok I promise, it was just a bad dream your ok" he said softly in my ear.

I looked up at him and he wiped my tears away and kissed me, I looked over and the gang was behind him, PonyBoy came up closer, "Hey Baylee how are you feeling ok", he said worried, "Yeah I'm fine", then I grabbed my head, "Uhhhhh my head hurts" I said in pain, "I'm sorry you guys I should have listened to you guys but I just wanted to help I got upset when you guys said I can't fight and I wanted to prove I could", I said with guilt.

Darry came up, "Sorry I didn't mean to make ya upset we just wanted you to be safe", then Darry gave me a hug.

I accepted his hug and smiled.

Soda came back from the kitchen and got me a glass of water and two pills to help with the pain.

I took them and finished my water then I went to stand up but when I moved my right leg it was horrible the pain, I yelped and fell back down on the couch, "Uhhhh my leg it hurts to move", I through the blanket off of me I needed to see how bad my leg looked.

"Soda please help me take off my pants please", the whole gang stood around me and Soda took them off I he helped me up and Two-Bit pasted out when he saw my leg from disgust I had a huge bruise already from where I was hit with the crow bar.

I started crying from the pain Soda turned to look at it his eyes got huge.

As Dallas and Johnny were trying to wake up Two-Bit, Pony ran in the kitchen He grabbed and ice pack and Vaseline and some matches and a cold wet rag, I was holding onto Darry's hand and Steve was on my other side trying to calm me down, Soda was ...

As Dallas and Johnny were trying to wake up Two-Bit, Pony ran in the kitchen He grabbed and ice pack and Vaseline and some matches and a cold wet rag, I was holding onto Darry's hand and Steve was on my other side trying to calm me down, Soda was looking at my bruise, he yelled, "Hurry Pony", then Pony ran in.

I started panicking when he had matches.

"No trust me Baylee calm down after this your leg will start to feel better trust me and it will keep it from getting infected", Pony looked me in the eyes, "Please I don't wanna see ya in pain anymore please let me do this if you trust me".

I just looked at him back in the eyes and shook my head, "Do it", I said in tears.

Darry said, "Trust me Baylee he knows what he is doin and if you want you squeeze my hand as hard as you want", I just looked at him "ThankYou" I said crying harder.

I was in my underwear but I did not give two shits, Pony sat down next to Soda and Soda held the matches and the ice pack Pony then grabbed the cold wet rag and right at the touch I screamed really loudly because it was horrible.

I squeezed on Darry's hand so hard it hurt my hand.

Then after Twenty seconds of that cold rag he took it off I yelped.

He then quickly then softly rubbed the Vaseline all over the bruise, I though I was going to pass out then when he was finished he gave me a minute to breath, "You ok" he asked worried, "Yeah please just get this over with Pone", I said crying.

He then lit a match and burned the Vaseline I yelped again but then the Vaseline started  softly sizzling on the bruise it started feeling nice.

I looked at PonyBoy he looked up at me and smiled I smiled back, "ThankYou", I said softly, "Your Welcome", he said back softly.

Soda then came up and sat near me on the couch he leaned down and gave me a kiss.

I slowly was getting tired and Pony was still working on my leg and healing the bruise slowly.

Finally about 25 minutes later he was finished it felt a bit better it was not as painful but it felt way much better then before he then gave me the ice pack, "Just hold this on it and every couple minutes take it off", I grabbed Pony kissed his cheek and gave him a huge hug, "ThankYou so much Pony", he smiled and blushed.

Everyone left Dallas had to carry Two-Bit home, Johnny went with him, Steve left and went home.

Me, Darry, PonyBoy, and Soda all fell asleep in the living room.
