Chapter 15: those damn socs

It's been a week since the accident, Pony was sent home he's doing ok, but he's having some awful nightmares. And he had to stay in bed, he's still pretty weak, and he's been getting sick every now and then.
Johnny finally woke up, Two-Bit, Pony and I went to go see him, since Pony can now get out of bed. We're going to see Johnny.
We walk up to his room, and we see my mom standing in the hallway, apparently she was trying to see Johnny, but he told the nurse not to let her in. She sees me and steps to me,
"Hey! Where you been? Dads not happy" she says
"I don't care. Get away from me" I say pushing her hand off my shoulder Two comes to my rescue and pulls me into the room where Johnny is, every time I see him I crack a few tears. It hurts to see him like this.
We were leaving and, his heart monitor started beeping like crazy, I turned into Ponyboy due to him being so close to me, I hug him tightly and rest my head into his shoulder.
We walk out and two bit starts yelling at my mom, we leave the hospital.
"I hope he'll be ok" I say and it's silent until we get home.
I decided to go for a walk by myself which wasn't the best idea, I walk down to Dals hideaway, I sit by the pond, I lay my head down on a rock, using my sweater as a comforter but it's not all too good.
I wake up, it's only been maybe 15 minutes, but it's much darker outside now, I think to myself about how worried Dal and Darry will be if I get home real late, so I started walking back to the house, I was caught by a Mazda car. Great.
They whistle at me and make gagging sounds,
"Hey greasie" says a soc as they get out of their car, I still don't have a blade.
"I don't want any trouble"I say stepping back
"You're the sister of the kid who killed my cousin bob. I'm gonna kill him if he lives, and if he doesn't." I swallow hard at the words he says next.
"I'll kill you" he says smoothing his thumb over the sharp blade of his knife.
"Please, I just wanna go home" I whimper, but it's no use.
"Ahh, boo hoo. Does the greasy girl want to go home?" He mocks
"Grab her" I am then grabbed by my arms by two socs, they pull my arms behind my back harshly, I look up to see the bottom of the socs foot. Boom. Everything goes black.
———
I wake up to the sound of a car engine squealing and see Dal and Steve throwing rocks at the car, Pony come over to me and gets on his knees
"Amber? Wake up" he says
"Ponyboy" I whisper, it hurts to speak
"You're awake!" Dal says walking to me, he gets down on his knee and sits me up against his leg
"You ok kid?" Asked Darry
"I'm ok, let's go home Dal" I say and he picks me up at once, I'm on his back and we're headed home.
These socs just take it too far sometimes.
