The Outsiders and the Bad Girl

Our Own Time

Ryder's POV

I fought with Johnny a couple days and I've been getting in trouble. I stole a couple things, didn't get caught though and I am thankful I didn't. I'm at work right now, its pretty boring since I get stuck serving families that have young kids that make messes and I am stuck cleaning them up. I honestly hate cleaning up after people, but then again I am the one who chose this job. So I gotta deal with it or get fired.

I do feel very bad for yelling at Johnny the other day. I haven't seen them in who knows how long and I am sure none of them want to see me no more. I'd like to see them, but that would just cause trouble and hurt someone , so I've kept my distance as far away as I could.

"Hi, how can I help you tonight?" I asked.

"Could we get two cokes, two beers and a water? Please." The woman asked as her two kids kids fooled around, her youngest was asleep and her husband was watching the game on the tv.

"Sure can." I said and walked into the kitchen. I got their drinks and came back to their table. When you work here and get the hang of it, you can get things really fast for the people here and when they get fast service, they're sure to come back again.

"Here are your drinks." I set them down on the table. My shift is almost over anyways. I went into the kitchen and got their food, once I gave them their food. My shift was over and I could leave back to my place now.

I took my apron off and left the Dingo. I walked down the street until I got stopped by someone, it wasn't any of the gang. It was Jeremy from when I was younger. I sighed and pushed past him. I started to run home and then I ran inside, locking the door and running up the stairs trying not to fall on my face. Once I got to my room, I shut and locked the door. I shut my curtains, locked the window and turned the lights off crwling into my bed and hiding for the night.

Johnny's POV

It's been awhile and we'be just hanging around the house, Buck's, the DX or just anywhere. We all agreed to let Ryder come to us. She's been in her own world and I still can't forgive myself for being so rude to her and I yelled at a girl! How could I do that! And to my best friend too! Pony's been chilling mostly in the house since he still can't walk on his own. He tried the other day and he fell as he walked into the living room on his own after lunch.

"Man, I'm bored!" Two-bit said hanging upside down on the couch shoveling cake in his mouth.

"I hope you choke on that cake!" Dal said. I just sat in my seat minding my own business. I've been quietly lately because I still haven't really processed what happened between Ryder and I. I mean she lost Mikey and I had to remind her of that, I am so mean. I just hope she's okay, because I am not since I don't know if she is mad at me now.

"You okay, Johnny?" Soda asked.

"What? Yeah, I'm good." I said. He nodded and then Dal looked at me. I guess he knew something was up with me because he smirked. I fell asleep on the couch next to Ponyboy. He was already asleep icing his ankle again.
