What's Up With Kaylee, Why Is She Acting Different?

Soda's POV

Kaylee just left after beating Dally. He deserved it, but he also went to say sorry to her. She didn't let him finish and beat him anyway. I sat on the couch in shock. I want to know what's wrong with Kaylee. She's been forgetting who some of us are and acting different. I just want to know, she said she was fine. But now no one knows what's up with her. Darry doesn't, Pony doesn't, Johnny doesn't the girls don't know, no one knows why.

I wanted to leave and go find her. But she'll just push me away, if only she'd see the great things about us all and not push us away. But then again she grew up following Sid's lead, bad girl, smoking, stealing and robbing, what else can she do? Oh yeah, plays volley ball and kick ass too. I like that about her, she can kick some pretty good ass and be a mouthy girl. It's funny when she's sassy to Steve or I should say Sunny boy, that's her name for and to this day she still calls him that. She'll call us by our nick names sometimes. Dally and Sid have the same name, blondie. Two-bit has Mickey, Steve has Sunny boy, I have Daydreamer, Darry is Handyman or muscles and I don't really know what she gave Johnny and Ponyboy for a nick name.

I listened to the guys talk, the girls all went to the bedroom upstairs. Just the 4 of them, Sid, Alex, Camille and Beth.  I don't know what they're talking about, something tells me I wanna know. Two-bit and Steve are drinking beer and eating cake while watching Mickey. Dally and Johnny are talking, Ponyboy has his nose in a book again, Darry's reading the paper and I am lost in thought.

"Soda, you okay?" Darry asked looking up from the newspaper. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at them.

"Yeah, I just wanna know what the girls are talking bout" I said, then I saw that evil smirk on Dally's face. He got up and made his way to the stairs, then he stopped and looked at us.

"Coming or not?" He asked making his way up. We all nodded, except for Darry. He stayed in his chair.

"Don't bug them though." Darry said.

"We won't super-man" Steve said following Dally up the stairs. The rest of us followed them two up. We went down the hall and went towards mine and Pony's room, the room they're all in. The door is shut and I assume locked too. We stood outside the door, making no noise. I am surprised none of us did make a noise yet. We all talk and never stop until we're asleep.

"Something's up with Kaylee" Sidney said. No duh there is, we all noticed it.

"I wonder what it is though, she forgot who Soda was twice." Beth said.

"She gave Dally a taste of his own medicine" Alexia said. Kaylee did do that, I am sorry to say. But Dally got beat up by a girl!

"Kaylee house left" Camille said. What?

"What, you messed up words" Sidney said.

"I know, doctor said I would mess up my words from now on. I hit my head hard and it damaged my speech side or whatever. Ask Ponyboy what it's called" Camille replied. Man, I didn't know that happened. But then again she doesn't tell anyone much or anything.

"Back to Kaylee, we have to go find her" Alexia said.

"The guys are out there, they won't let us out of their sight no more" Beth said.

"So? Who cares, we can handle ourselves" Sidney said.

"No you can't" Steve spat out. We all covered his mouth and gave the sign to shut up.

"Let's go" Beth said.

"Where? The guys will see us leave" Alex said. Then it went silent and I heard nothing. Dally ran down the stairs and we all followed him. We got to the living room and he bolted outside.  Where we saw the girls climbing out from the window. They all stood on the roof, they turned and saw us.

"Go back inside!" Alex called out.

"No, we jump" Sidney said.

"You're not jumping from there" Dally yelled. They all crossed their arms and looked at one another and then at us 6.

"You're not the boss Blondie" Beth shot back.

"Yeah but Darry is" Two-bit said.

"Not ours" Sidney said. She walked to the bottom ledge of the roof and looked back at the girls. Then she jumped down and landed on Dally. He went to the ground with her on top of him. Two-bit and Steve started to laugh, made me laugh too.

"Let's go or else you stay there" Sidney said. Beth and Camille shrugged their shoulders and walked down to the edge. They both jumped and landed on the ground. Then Alex jumped after they hit the ground and moved out of the way. Before they left we all blocked their way of leaving.

"Ya can't leave, she won't even know you and you could get jumped" I said. They looked at each other and then Camille headed back into the house. She gave up like that, then Alex joined her inside.

"I hate you guys at times like this" Sidney said and grabbed Beth's arm and going to the house. We can stop them, they're still strong for loosing two best friends and one lost a sister. None of them seemed to be depressed or mad that they're gone. Unless they're able to hid that, the inside of them is screaming and cussing.

We all made our way inside  and sat down on the floor. The girls took up the two couches, they're sprawled across so no one else can sit down. I sat next to Steve and Johnny on the floor, in the middle of the room. Darry went to his room and Ponyboy took his chair, leaving the 5 of us on the floor. I didn't mind, we let the girls hang out here as it is.

I closed my eyes and went to bed. I laid on the floor, we all sprawled across the floor. Two-bit taking up most of the space, he tosses and turns during his sleep. I fell asleep next to Steve and he was snoring like hell. But I learn to deal with it after awhile. I hope the girls don't do something stupid or anything stupid from now on. I mean they might go to jail more for robbing stores, that's their way with sadness and anger. Like Dally, although I don't think I could see Camille and Alex going to jail. The other three I could though. We all fell asleep after 2:00 in the morning and lights were out too.
