An Outsider Love Story

Run

“Why mess with us when you have other greasers to mess with? Or why not try your own kind?” I shake his arm off.

“Well that is a good question, but I would say because I like you. You are different than the others.” He whispered in my ear. I gulped.

The next thing I knew, James pulled out a switch and slashed me across my shoulder. I screamed out in pain. He got me really good because the blood was already seeping through my T-shirt. James sat in the chair and stared at me. Why me? Out of all the greasers he chooses me. I stay out of trouble. Most of the time. Ok, part of the time. I have a boyfriend. I have “Children” to take care of when I get home. I don’t want this. This isn’t who I am. For the first time I realized that I am lying to myself again. Wrong. This is who I am. Every last bit of it.

It was now dark outside and they are taking me somewhere else. I get to see Pony for a split second. Pony is better now. Well, he is alive. We both looked at each other and tried to figure out who got beat the most. We agreed it was me. All he had were some bruises. I have bruises and cuts all over me. When we step out of the factory all we saw was they’re mustang and it is real nice. When me and Pony step in it, our eyes went huge. Leather enterer, nice big radio, and other neat stuff too. But I still hate them. Just because they have some expensive thing that their daddy bought them doesn’t change who they are or what they do.

We pull up to Vacant Lot. So they started to tie our hands up and pull us along while they walk to center point of the Lot. The Vacant Lot is our hide out. The place where you come to think. Only the hood comes here.

I knew this place like the back of my hand. The gang would take me here every night during the summer. There was a bon fire made and the old beat up truck parked to the far corner. No one claimed it so it stays there. Usually we sit in it because there is nowhere else to sit and the radio works, but it was empty. The doors were torn off and the wind shield was busted out. All of a sudden Pony escapes. He runs as the other socs take off after him. He runs into the woods.

"Run Pony!" I yell out. I get hit in my side as my knees collapse.

"Let him go." James sighs as he picks me back up.

"What?" The red head ask.

"We don't need him." James takes a hand to my face.

"He'll go to the cops." The red head exclaimed.

"If he is stupid he would. Now the girl. We need to get rid of her before the others get here." All hell broke lose when he said that. I started kicking and screaming.

The red head pulled out a switch and flipped it open. I tried to escape but he had a firm grip on me. He whispered something in my ear and I know which soc has the uncontrollable emotions now. I took a deep breath and was about to scream but he covered my mouth and whispered the dirtiest thing I have ever heard. He took my arm and sliced the inside. Where my elbow bends to where my wrist starts.

He put his hand on my face. I jerked away and spit in his face. James laughed and smacked me. He let go when he smacked me. I lost my balance and hit the ground.

"Have at it, Trevor." James laughs.

The red head sits right on top of me as he held my hands above my head. He then slid the blade across my stomach. It hurt like hell. He starts to mess with his pants buckle. That's when I screamed. A blood curling scream escapes my lips as the red head tries to pull my pants off. I was kicking and screaming. I was squirming trying to get away from him.

"No! Stop! Please! Stop!" I screamed as loud as I could. I'm sure the whole neighborhood could hear.

"Its too late. We gotta go." One of the socs says.

"Aww here they come." The red head singed a sickly tune in my ear.

Soda, Darry and Dally ran to the lot. Two-bit and Steve jumped out of nowhere and attacked the socs who had me. They were surrounded.
