Forgotten Dreams

Jumped

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rose~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I crawl in between Johnny and Ponyboy on the bed. They were both deep asleep and facing me. I look up at the ceiling. I heard both the boys make a noise and both of them caught hold of me hand-Johnny my left,Ponyboy my right-. I thought I would never sleep but,my moving around while everything hurt didn't help and sleep took over quickly.

Morning

I woke up to Sodapop and Dallas's voices in the room. I yawn softly before trying to rumb my eyes but Johnny and Ponyboy still had a hold of my hands and were still deep asleep. I look at Sodapop and Dallas sleepily.

They thought I was still asleep so I close my eyes. "Guys come see this" Soda says in a whisper. I hear the rest of the gang crowd in. Then I heard a very very loud honk. Me,Johnny,and Ponyboy jump falling over each other. The gang burst out laughing. I glare sleepily at them.

"Rise and shine,Darlins" Two-bit yells a little. I untangle my arm from being hooked around Johnny's head and untangle my legs from around Ponyboy. "Five more minutes" I groan. Steve blew the horn again. I leap up and snatch it from him.

I walk toward the open window and throw it out as far as possible. I yawn and stretch. Johnny gets up,scratching his hair slightly. I blink. "I got no clothes to wear!!" I yell,looking around.

I start running around,looking for something to wear. I end up wearing one of Johnny's shirts, a pair of his old jeans,and Ponyboy's leather jacket-which was 2× too big but still HIS JACKET.

I pull on my converses. I look for my purse and find it on the table. I snatch it up and run out the door,Ponyboy,Johnny,and Sodapop yell after me.

Two hours later

I walk out the clothes store at least 5 bags on each arm. I walk down the street,it was only a 5 minute walk. A Blue Mustang stops infront of me,making me stop. 5 or 6 Socs step out,I glare at them.

"Hey pretty Lady" one said. I scoff. They were obviously drunk. "You better stop I'm a Greaser" I warn,my hand inching toward my switch-blade. The one that spoke steps toward me. I don't make a noise as he slaps me,his ring breaking my skin. "Wanna hair cut" he says,taking a knife out. His followers pin me down.

I buck and move rapidly. He takes his time cutting my head deep enough to leave a scar. He cuts my neck,arms,and legs next. I twist and turn move. "Don't move" he hisses,cutting deeper. He punches me and his followers kick me.

I don't make a noise. He grabs hold of my hair and goes to cut it but a voice stops him. "Don't touch her!!" Ponyboy and Johnny yell. I hear running feet and yelling. The Socs are in their cars in a flash.

I look up at the gang. I start sobbing,I was scared to death.

"Hey hey it's ok" Sodapop says but I kept crying. "E-Everything H-H-Hurts" I bawl,shaking. I let them lead me to the house.

--------------------------------------------Ponyboy--------------------------------------------

I was furious at the Socs,they badly beat her and for what?? A few kicks. The scar on her head was like Johnny's. "Those were the ones that got Johnny" I say. Two-bit raises an eyebrow. I trace the air above the scar,it was exactly like Johnny's. Johnny looked like a pained puppy. Rose looks the same.

"Darry,they did this like they did Johnny" Sodapop says,looking at his older brother. I watch as Rose sleeps slightly peacefully. "They'll pay" Me and Johnny growl. The gang looked surprised,we usually don't get aggressive.

3 days later

Rose still hasn't woke up which worried me. She looks like what Johnny looks like,a pained and forgot puppy. Darry had moved her to my room. Johnny was asleep beside her,he hadn't eaten at all. Neither have I.

I grab my switch-blade. Me and Johnny got identical switch-blades. I walk quietly out the room and storm through the living room. "Where are you goin,Pony" Steve asks. I flip out my blade.

"Nope,Ponyboy,Dallas is taking care of it" Two-bit says. I nod once before closing the blade and putting it in my pocket in one swift movement.

I hear a small cry from my room. I take off running.

Dream

I was running for some reason. I look over my shoulder and see running Socs. I pick up my speed. I get tackled to the ground. They pin me to the ground and the one ontop of me takes out a knife. He cuts my shirt in half,breaking the skin under it. He starts getting touchy feelly. I scream and buck,trying desperately to get loose. I cry as he slowly cuts me and cry louder when he cuts my chest and personal area.

I wake up gasping. Johnny was up,looking worriedly at me. The door bursts open,the gang spills in. I was shaking and gasping. "S-She started screaming and crying in her sleep" Johnny says desperately.

I tell them the dream,crying silently. Ponyboy looked pissed. "We won't let that happen" Darry says sternly. I nod shakly. I started to get dizzy before I knew it I fall backwards on the bed, blackness taking me away. I faintly hear them talking but my mind soon goes blank.
