An Outsider ( A Ponyboy Curtis Fanfic)

After

It's been about 5 hours since Dally left. And he hasn't come back. I would be worried if it was anyone but Dally. He could be gone for days and could be fine. But he left angry, angry at me. I don't know why but I hate it when he is mad at me.

My hickey has gotten bigger. I didn't think we did that much but I do remember him kissing my neck a lot. I guess this is what I get for having a little fun with my boyfriend.

"What are you thinking about?" My thoughts were interrupted by Soda waving his hand in my face. I swatted his hand away.

"Nothing, just thinking," I said simply. Everyone had gone home, except Johnny, Darry wouldn't let him go back while his wounds wee still fresh.

"Me and Daddy Darry want to talk to you," Soda whispered to me. I stood up and walked to the kitchen where Darry had his back turned to me cleaning up the dishes. "Darry she's here, lets talk about this."

Darry turned around and wiped his hands on his pants. "Okay we need to talk about you and Ponyboy. Look I know you two are happy together, but with you two living under the same roof it could get complicated," Darry said simply.

"Look Darry what happened today-" I was cut off by Darry.

"What happened today was a close call. What would have happened if Dally hadn't show up? Would you and Pony have had sex? You guys are 14-15 you don't think or use your heads." I hated this side of Darry, he is such a dad, even more than Dally.

"I know what I'm doing, its not like we were having sex. We just made out... on the bed," I mumbled the last bit.

"Gross, Jazz, I sleep there," Soda whined. I looked at him with an annoyed look.

"Jasmine we're just lookin' over you that's all. We care about you." Darry finished. "Now head on up to bed. And I mean your bed"

"Very funny. Good night," I walked up the stairs and into Pony's room. He was sitting at his desk doing homework. When I opened the door his head shot up. "Easy its just me."

"Sorry. I kinda heard your conversation with Darry and Soda. What do you think?" He asked me.

"I don't know, they treat us like we don't know what we're doing. I mean I know what I was doing but I didn't really know when to stop, Darry is kind of right. If Dally hadn't shown up we might have.... you know" I said tryin to keep quiet so they wouldn't hear me in here.

"Yeah," I was about to walk out when he stopped me. "Hey, I'm sorry for unhooking your bra earlier. I took it to far"

"Its okay. I was kind of impressed," and with that I left.

I woke up around 7:30 and pulled on a Minney Mouse sleeveless sweatshirt  and some skinny jeans. I pulled on my red converse and red lipstick. My hickey was still huge so I tried to cover it up with a little concealer but it still showed. I just hoped Dally wouldn't be downstairs.

I walked downstairs and just my luck Dally was sitting on the couch. He was on the opposite side of me so he couldn't see it.  I sat/layed down next to Pony. My legs were on his lap.

"Hey Dallas, where were you yesterday? You stormed off and left for the rest of the day," I asked him.

"I went to go blow off some steam. I was a bit ticked," He said, anger still evident in his voice.

I turned my head to face him "Dally-"

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Oh crap he saw it. "On your neck, what is it?" He asked deadly calm. When Dally is mad its bad when he is calm, it means he is gonna blow.

"A hickey," I said just above a whisper. His calm voice always scared me.

"DAMNNIT I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN," he screamed. I winced in fear. Dally had hit me in private before. I knew the routine. Pony got up and went outside for a smoke. Me and Dally were the only ones in the house now.

"Do is already," I told him my voice sounding very small. He looked at me with a confused face. "I know what happens after this. I get slapped. Just get it over with." He saw the fear in my eyes, how scared I was of him.

"Jazz, I'm so sorry," he told me giving me a rare hug. "I hate that you're scared of me." I was bawling my eyes out into Dally's chest. Pony walked back in.

****Pony POV****

I walked in and saw Jazz crying in Dally's arms. I gave him a confused look and he just gave me the 'tell no one' look. We all knew Dally loved his sister but he didn't show it.

After Jazz stopped crying and ran up the stairs.

"What did you say to her?" I asked him confused. Jazz isn't a crier so it was unusual to make her cry.

"Like I'm gonna tell you," he spat at me. I just walked up the stairs and knocked on her door. All I heard was The Beatles blaring in her room. I heard her scream at the top of her lungs for me to go away. Of course I didn't listen. I knocked again. The music stopped and she opened the door enough for me to see half of her face.

"Can I come in?" I asked. She nodded and opened the door. as soon as I got in she closed the door again. "What did Dally say to you?" I asked concerned. She put her finger to her lips telling me to be quiet. She pointed at the window I knew what she was thinking. It wasn't the first time we had left. I nodded. She locked her door turned the music back on and we left but while I clibed out the window I knocked over her textbook making a very loud boom over the music.

****Dally POV****

Pony had been upstairs with Jazz for to long for my comfort. I walked up the stairs and heard The Beatles blaring. I knocked on her door nothing.

I heard a loud boom and I got worried. I knocked again. Nothing.

I got frustrated and kept knocking. I hated that they were alone in a locked room. I hated thinking of my little sister with any boy.

I got no mad I kicked the door in. I found an empty room and an open window.

They left.
