    I sat down on my couch. I couldn't believe it... Johnny and Dallas were dead. My brother and my boyfriend lost their lives.

     "Where were you?!" My mother yelled. I could tell she was restless. She had gotten into the drugs again.

     I replied much shyly... "I-I was in the greasers' neighborhood..."

     "Summer Rose Cade!!! I thought I told you to stay away from those disgraceful boys!!!! And that Dallas Winston!!!!" My mom scolded.

     "They're not disgraceful!!!" I insisted. I curled up into a ball on the couch. I realized I had said the wrong thing. "I-I'm sorry!!!" I yelped as she slammed me to the floor. My breath got knocked from my lungs as she pinned me. She threw a quick left hook across the bridge of my nose. Thick red blood poured down my face.

     "YOU'RE A SOC!!! NOT A GREASER!!!" She yelled in my ear as she slugged me a few times. She cursed at me and called me nasty names.

     "Let me up!!!!" I yowled struggling to get up. "Let me go!!!!" I yelled kneeing her stomach. My head swung to the left repetitively. A pain spread in my cheek. My vision blurred... My eyes clouded. I was pulled up and pushed to the wall. Soon after there was a throbbing pain in my right leg. I yelped and looked down. My mom had brought a knife out... That was the first time ever... She pulled it from my leg and aimed again I flinched and dodged. I kicked my mom in the chest. She fell on her back as I scuttled to my feet. I raced out the door and into the neighborhood. I ran and ran until I reach the greasers' neighborhood. I pushed myself forward until I reach the Curtis family house. I knocked loudly over and over until Darry opened the door with a gasp. I pushed him out of the way and stood before the gang.

     "Oh my..." Two-bit gasped. He cursed under his breath.

     "Summer!" Ponyboy yelped running over to me.

     I collapsed to the floor. My legs had gave out.

     Somebody dragged me up onto the couch and held me tight. There was panicking but I couldn't make out any words. My vision faded into a red then black...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     I blinked awake, "Huh?" I couldn't see anything clearly. I had a terrible head-ache. "Wh-where am I?" I asked.

     "Settle down, Summer! You'll be fine!" A familiar voice insisted.

     I blinked a few more times my vision was clearer. "Soda..?" I asked weakly.

     He nodded gently and pushed my hair back behind my ear. "You'll be ok... If you don't mind if I ask... What happened?" Soda asked.

     I replied, "The monster took over my mom... She stabbed me... Sh-she..." I shivered and broke into tears. Hot tears ran down my face. "I think she broke my nose too... She punched me... She-"

     Soda interrupted, "Hey... Calm down... You'll be ok... Everything will be alright, just settle down..."

     I cried loudly and roughly. I couldn't believe it... "W-Where are we?" I asked again.

     Soda answered, "The hospital..."

     I broke out with tears again. I choked and hacked.

     Sodapop's eyes widened and he quickly grabbed a small trash can. He pulled my hair back and held the trash can near me.

     I vomited about twice before I laid back down in the hospital bed.

     Soda sat the trash can next to the bed. "I'll uh... I'll get you some water..." He stated before rushing out the door.

     I slowly nodded even though he already left. I slowly closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
