| The Outsider's Baby |

Chapter 15

I walked home with Pony's coke in my hand, crying my eyes out. I just lost someone I have loved since I was 13. I can't do this anymore. As I was crying I felt a hand on my shoulder. I thought it was one of the gang members so I dried my eyes, put on a fake smile, and turned around. I was about to say hi when I saw it was just Olivia and her friends. "Oh my god, Sydney, look it's the fat whore. She looks like a piece of shit. She was probably begging for sex and got rejected." Olivia said laughing. I had enough. I punched Olivia in the face. All of Olivia's friends started to hit me. I didn't care. Olivia took the Coke and threw it on me. They ran away laughing. I didn't know why they ran away until I saw Darry looking worried. "Are you okay?" He asked kneeling down. I started to feel the ground forgetting that they spilled the Coke on me. I was choking on my tears and crying really hard. "I-I'm S-sorry." I said. "What do you mean?" Darry asked with his hand on my back. "Tell P-P-Ponyboy that I s-spilled the Coke." I said with my head down. "I saw those girls pour it on you. It's not your fault sweetie." He said lifting my head with his two fingers. I saw Soda out of the corner of my eye. I looked at Darry. "I can't do this anymore. I am Sorry Darry." I said. I left Darry confused as I ran to my house. 

I fumbled with the keys as I put it into the lock. I was sobbing, and it started to rain. Dally was in the living room watching TV. He was about to say something when he saw me crying. "Baby what's wrong?" Dally asked. I cried harder. "I...C-can't do this a-a-anymore." I choked out. "What do you mean?" Dally asked starting to get worried. I pushed his hands off me and ran to my room with Dally following me. I closed the door on him, locked it, and shoved my bed in front of the door. I took my gun out of my safe. I cocked it back. Dally obviously heard it because he started to scream and bang on the door. I could hear him trying to break it down. I had the gun in my hand. I looked in my mirror. When I looked in the mirror I started to cry harder. When did I get this ugly? How did Soda ever like me? This is why he left me! I pointed the gun at my head, then, at the mirror. I shot and I heard Dally scream "NO!" Glass flew everywhere. I was crying so hard that I couldn't even see. I slipped and landed in all the glass. I was bleeding everywhere. I was laying in the glass when Dally broke the door open and moved my bed out of the way. I was crying so softly, that many people wouldn't even be able to hear it. 

Dally grabbed me and carried me into his room bridal style. He patched me up and cleaned me off. He made me get in a bathing suit so he could help me bathe. I didn't say a word to him. He was hugging me and telling me how beautiful I am, and how I shouldn't be doing this. I was in my bathing suit. Dally was holding my waist. I was looking in the bathroom mirror and started to cry. Do I really look like this?  I started to fall to my knees, but Dally held me, and gently put me in the bathtub. I looked away as he cleaned my cuts off. Dally tucked my hair behind my ear. "Baby, what happened." I looked at him and said, "Ask Soda." starting to cry again.
