June Curtis

Chapter 33

Braeden's POV

Dally wanted to take me out today to get to know me better. I told him how I was abused by our parents and the guys  in New York wanted me to get them drugs and how I didn't want to. They forced me to do it since I was seven, right after Dally left. They said they would find Dally and kill him. I haven't seen him in years but that doesn't mean that I want him dead. So I did it. Dally told me that he was sorry for not being there for me and he told me everything about the gang, what their lives are like at home, and what happened to them. I mean he told me literally everything. I told him that I kind of like June but she's gorgeous and has every guy after her. Plus, she has Tanner and I don't know about Johnny. I know there's a love triangle going on between them or something. We decided to go back to the Curtis house since we talked about everything. Damn, I feel like a girl. We 'talked about everything'. I don't know why, it's just the way it sounded in my head. Dally and I walked inside to expect to see Pony and June but instead saw no one. "Hello?" Dally called out. "Listen, if someone jumps out and scares me, I'm gonna kick your ass. Don't say you weren't warned!" Dally yelled again and I chuckled as we heard a pounding on a door. I walked to the hall closet and it was locked. I unlocked it and Ponyboy was inside. "Thank the Lord! Guys we need to find June! She locked me in here and she left. Come on!" He said and I looked at Dally as he mumbled cuss words. Dally went to the phone a called June's brothers and sister if he could get them and told them what was happening. Please, don't be doing anything stupid, kid.

June's POV

I walked to the address that was given to me and it was smack dab in the middle of Soc territory. Of course. I walked to the front door and before I could even knock on the damn thing, someone pulled me inside. "Hey kid, here's the package. So help me you look in there, you're dead." I'm guessing Greg said. "I thought it was someone from her little gang." Another guy said and Greg glared at him and so did I. I would rather be dead than one of them. Greg pushed me out the door and them slammed the door shut. I don't know where to take this thing to. I know I have to give it to Bob, Randy, and Danny but, where are they? I can't go anywhere until I get rid of this. Man, this can get me into a lot of trouble. Especially with the police. They'll split us up for sure if they catch me. It'll be my fault too. But I don't even know what I'm delivering. These Socs really need to plan this out more. How am I suppose to know where they are? I don't read minds. Just then I heard honking and I looked behind me and saw the demons themselves. They stopped and grabbed the package out of my hands and Bob said "Good job Greaser. Watch your back though, we'll be around a lot more now. But don't worry, we won't hurt your family. Yet." Then they drove off. Yet?! I'm keeping my side of the deal and they are still going to hurt my family?! Not if I can help it. Cheesiest line though. Damn. I started my way home when I heard my name being called from all different directions from Greaser territory. The gang. I was in the lot when I heard Dally call my name really loud. I turned around and he grabbed me by my shirt collar right as the rest of the gang was heading our way watching everything. "You little shit! Darry told you to stay home! Why don't you listen?! It's not that hard!" Dally yelled and I had anger boiling inside me as Dally yelled at me and the gang just stood there and watched instead of telling him off. "Really Dally?! You don't listen! I don't give you crap about it but you can do it to me? Besides I can't just not go outside! I have stuff to do!" I yelled back at him as he tightened his grip on my shirt collar. "You are going to get hurt just like everybody says but what do you do? You DON'T LISTEN!" Dally said but was looking like he was going to hit me any second. He wouldn't, would he? "If I don't get hurt then you will! The gang will too! Johnny will!" I said and his expression softened a little but he still looked angry. "Then why don't you tell us so we can help you?!" He asked and I got out of his grip and backed away from him and said "Because Dally, if I say whats happening then you guys will get hurt. I can't let them hurt you. None of you." Then I walked away leaving them thinking about what I just said. I got home and went to my room and shut the door right as the rest got home. I wanted to get my mind off of things that happened today and I played the song I (I DO NOT OWN THE SONG! TOBY KIETH DOES!!!)wrote about becoming a soldier. I love it. It describes what the soldiers have to go through everyday. When dad was still alive, he wrote down how and what he felt when he was in the army. He would always read them to me and I just always remember them. I didn't know what else to do because I didn't want to go out there to the gang. So I drew eyes. Just different kind of eyes. I don't know why I chose to draw eyes but I did. On the second pair of eyes, I started thinking about Tanner. I miss him. I know he's here but, it doesn't feel like it. Ya know? It's like when you fight with your best friend and you guys make up and it still doesn't seem like everything is back to normal. Or like when someone dies, their gone but they are still here. Only a part if them left put the rest are still here. That's what its like with Tanner. We were so close to dating but everything that has happened, ruined it. I really do miss what we almost had.

Tanner's POV

June went to her room and hasn't came out. I should of did something when Dally yelled at her but, she does need to listen. I just, UGH! I don't know what to say about her anymore. She just needs to listen mire or she's going to get hurt! Me and Braeden went to get some cigarettes for Dally and we are on our way back. We see the Curtis house and I see a light on in June's window. I see her on her bed doing something. I stop Braeden and he looks at me and asks "What?" She doesn't see us yet and I say "Look, see that girl?" I point to June and he asks "June?" I nodded and said "You see that girl? She looks so happy, right? Telling jokes, smiling, and having a great time and... Dying inside. She's hurt. And tired. Tired of all of the drama, tired if not being good enough, tired of life. But she doesn't want to look dramatic, weak, and attention seeking. So she keeps it all inside. Acts like everything is perfect but cries at night. So everybody thinks that she's the happiest person they know. That she has no problems and her life is perfect. If only they knew the truth..." Braeden looked at her and back at me and said "Wow. You really get her. You need to keep fighting for her man. You just gotta. She needs you and you need her." I looked down and looked back at the window looking at her and said "I really do miss what we almost had."
