The Outsiders a Different Story

Moon's Shadow

"You son of a bitch.You were out again were you?."my dad said holding his newspaper down when I arrived at the front door. "Shit" I thought.I could have swore he was sleeping,like he always does. His cold mean eyes were deadly,as if a snake was rattling telling me to stay were I was or it will bite me if I made one move. My heart began to pound immediately as his eyes were catching every tiny move I could make. Sweat drastically came down on my forehead. Making it a hell of a lot obvious.
"No,dad I was just....I was just getting the trash out." I said nervously, as I was squeezing my hands together.
He slammed the newspaper Down on the little brown coffee table and grabbed the beer bottle that was on it.
"Now don't start this Bullshiting to me Sara, you were out, and I told you to NOT to go out."he said grabbing my neck. I couldn't breathe. my mind was in chaos, trying to let go of his grip.
"Dad...I-I swear! Please don't do it!"
I cried, as lines of tears came down my cheek. He smacked the bottle on my cheek and blood was erupting,I fell and was nauseated by the smell of burnt cigarette​ carpet and alcohol,and also the taste of blood.
I only heard mumbling of my dad talking to me, I got up on all fours and stood up keeping my balance and tried running to my room.I ran. Still hearing mumbling voices,I opened the door and quickly shut it and locked it. He  was on my tail. Banging was heard and yelling. Quickly I grabbed and put on my thigh high socks and my blue jeans then my sweater over my dirty blood covered white shirt. I quickly grabbed a long switch blade, (that can be mistaken as a short sword) and placed it in my back pocket.
Still the faint mumbling can be heard, I already had blood on my clean jeans and my black sweater. I couldn't do anything to stop the bleeding. I had to get out.
"Shit." I thought as my dad was trying to break my door. Quickly I opened the latch to my window and opened up the glass, I ran far away from my house, but still hearing the faint yelling of my dad will soon haunt me for awhile.  Running even faster my right eye was shut and burned of blood and sweat.My lungs were about to bust.
I slowly walked on a hill and rested on the grass area by a huge tree.
I only lived in Sands Spring Oklahoma.Not too far to Tulsa.
My mind was trailing back to my younger sisters death and my mom's death.My dad became more angrier at himself even though he didn't do  anything. Mainly he was mad at me. My Mom died and my sister died at the same year,same day.My dad was working overtime as usual and my mom was disabled in a wheel chair, my little sister was at the age of 5 and I was 13. Robbers came to our household, I was terrified. I just stood there.For some damn stupid reason they notice my state of shock and wanted me to suffer even more.As a game to them.They shot my mom in her precious heart and my sister of the right lung.I ran and looked to see my dad running to the robbers beating the hell out of them and killing them both instantly by choking them with his hands.I still remember to this day,the look my dad gave me. It was my duty to protect them,yet I failed that duty. My mother always had a gentle heart towards my dad and kind heart to my sister and I. We were poor but we still had plenty to eat,but not anymore after my mom and sisters death.we were poor what society calls us "Greasers".I go to High school and always get yelled at by teachers who always wants "higher expectations"for me. But I'm a lone Island,more as if I don't give a crap what they tell me. Still walking, I was mesmerized by that day that I even forgot about my cheek hurting. I don't know for how long I've been walking but I felt it was far enough,Thank God my dad does not have a car, which he used too but he sold it for money, not to buy the things we need but for booze, for his selfish ignorant reason. I slowly looked up as my vision was getting blurry a bit.My head hurt terribly.
"Tul-Tulsa" I thought.
I bit my lip,i heard a lot about Tulsa, a lot of fights at night.and jumpers...
I got chills and put my thoughts together.
My breathing was turning into wheezing and my head was giving out.
I walked on the side walk since the moon was my light and flashing signs of diners and bars were at my feet as its neon colored light's hit the side walk.I looked and squinted and saw a boy with dark brown hair and light white skin backing up.I even squinted harder to see what was going on.
"What a surprise.The socs."I thought.
The rich kids of the town.The ones who made lives miserable and unbelievable.the rich kid ass holes who thought the world was their own.It disgusts me.Anger sparked in my veins I ran over to the boy and stepped in front of him.
"Well.Who's this doll's face?."
the soc said in the middle holding a beer can. Four of them were surrounding me and the boy.
I looked in disgust as he rubbed my cheek.I slapped his cold hand.

"Put your own sloppy hand somewhere else."I said.

"Oh a little tough bitch are ya?."he said
My eyes were in anger mode I  forgot about my tiredness and my eye with dried blood now.I was full of hatred and was tired of these shadows.I quickly grabbed his arm and twisted behind his back,almost breaking his arm,and quickly brought out my switch blade, AKA my short sword up to his neck and forcefully started pushing the silver blade to his neck.
The 4 guys backed up.
I whispered in his ear.
"Come back again to hurt this kid...you won't have skin for a neck."
I released,he held his neck and fixed his letterman jacket and ran off to their mustang.
I looked at the boy, his eyes were beautiful in the moon light.just blue.I closed my eyes and apparently fell with my shadow. I fluttered my eyes and saw all black.

I grabbed the switch blade and put it in her pocket then grabbed under her legs and held her back.her cheek and and part of her eye was very blood dry. She saved my life, a brave girl like her, surprisingly. She was unconscious.I had to tell Darry. I ran as fast as I could she was thick but skinny, a little hard to carry and run.I slowed a bit and reached the gate and opened it.I  ran quickly to the gate and opened it then went on the porch and opened the screen door then the door.she was cold as ice too.As usual Darry was sitting on the chair reading the newspaper.Soda pop and Steve messing around Johnny sitting quietly on the couch and Dally arguing with Two-bit.
I stood there,trying too get every ones  attention of everyone.Everyone looked.
"What the hell, pony what happened?" Darry said.

"She saved me Darry,she made a Soc run away."I said looking down on her.

"Pony are you ok?" soda asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, but thanks to her she saved my life."I said.

Darry was pressing on her neck and observing her eye.trying to feel a pulse.

"Soda go get blankets and a pillow,pony you go get some hot water. She's cold as ice."Darry said.

"Will the doll face make it?"Two-bit said.

"We will have to see" Darry said.

I came back with the hot water and gave it to Soda noticing Soda and the rest of the guys came to her by the couch before me,her sweater was off and blankets were on her and her head resting on the pillow. Her shirt was blood covered. Soda was by her side rubbing a hot wet wash cloth on her forehead.

Alright boys time to go to bed.we have work tomorrow and school"Darry quietly said.

"She's awfully pretty.who would do such a thing to a pretty face."Twobit said.

"I don't know Two."Darry said.

"Alright,goodnight y'all see you tomorrow." Two said, as he left.

Dally,Johnny and Steve left as well it was just me my Older brother Darry and my other brother Soda pop.

I keeled with soda while Darry sat on the chair once again. Soda was still rubbing her forehead.

"She's beautiful ain't she?"Soda said.

"She ain't a car."Darry said.

We laughed.she was, I've seen other girls with selfish acts but this one is different she has dark brown hair with a radiant skin.She had a beautiful face.

"Alright you boy's ought to go to bed.Soda you have work and Pony you have school" Darry said.

"Alrighty" we both said.

The girl was slightly breathing which was a good thing.A very good thing.

I awoken. My eyes fluttered to a warm dark room. The smell of cigarettes and leather, and a blanket covering me.A different type of atmosphere.It's just a dream....
Just a dream.....I'm with my mom and my sister and even my dad. They didn't die were all alive and healthy...I slept peacefully,for once...
