everyone says he's bad news. everyone says he ain't one to mess with. everyone says he isn't worth anyone's time. well, everyone also says I have a gift for looking at things in a different perspective.

I took a shower at the Curtis' to rinse the coke out of my hair and everything else that came from the fight. Ponyboy gave me one of his shirts and I just wore my own jeans. I sat on the couch, trying not to burst into tears again. Its been a nonstop breakdown since I started crying first, especially in the shower. My eyes are swollen and red, by first glance you would think I was the one who got my ass beat.
Sodapop washed his wound and wrapped it in bandages, I unintentionally made a 3 inch long 1 inch deep slice in Soda's forearm. It bled pretty bad but he handled it really well, I'm in more pain about it than he is. That's the part I feel the worst about. Proof that I do nothing but hurt people.
I stared at the floor with my hands in a prayer like position over my mouth, the whole gang was here except for Dally. Of course except for Dally. I was waiting for him to show up, he would usually be picking me up from work but we closed the DX early.
Soda sat next to me and rubbed my back, "Are you alright, Ivy?"
I slowly turned my head and my heart hurt when I saw his arm, "I'm so sorry." I croaked
Sodapop looked at his arm and waved it off, "I'm fine. I'm just glad it was me and not that Soc's chest."
"What happened?" Ponyboy asked
"I uh..." my voice was almost gone from crying so much, "These Socs walked into the DX and threatened to steal because they didn't want to pay Greasers. I tried to bargain with them but then one in particular started calling me stuff like a whore and a lowlife and I lost it...it was the same girl who drove me and my best friend apart."
"That one brunette girl ran to me and said you needed help, so I ran inside and saw you with a blade heading for that one preppy kid." Sodapop added
That's where McKayla went, to basically save me. She knows me better than a lot of people, how am I not surprised she knew exactly what to do. Even though she booted me out of her life, she still cares about me. Somewhat. Or maybe she was just trying to protect Whitney from me, because she knew I was capable of more than knocking her lights out. Either one would make sense, I'd prefer not to think about it.
"Something in me just snapped and I was about to stab someone...I was going to murder a boy I didn't even know the first name of..." I said as my eyes got glassy again
Sodapop side hugged me for comfort, "It's alright, Ivy...you were just trying to help the DX."
"No, it was a selfish and stupid move. I cut your arm open...I don't deserve sympathy...I deserve to be locked up for attempted manslaughter."
"Hey for all the times Socs jumped us, they needed someone to teach them a lesson. In the end you beat their ass, I consider that a win." Two-Bit said
