When I walked out of the drug store I started to walk home or whatever you call that hell hole. Then I saw something I saw a blue mustaine parked on the side of the road.
"What are they doin' on this side of town?" I thought aloud. I saw four of them get out of the car and I saw Ponyboy then it clicked, they're jumping him.
I heard them taunting him,"Hey greaser need a haircut?" They pulled out a switch and I knew this was going to get ugly and I ran. Running as fast as I could I found Johnny, Steve, Sodapop, Two-bit, Dallas, and Darry hanging around talking.
When Johnny saw me he jogged up to me,"Hey CC you alright?"
I huffed trying to catch my breath," Pony" I huffed,"Ponyboy he" I huffed again,"Pony's bein' jumped and they pulled out a switch."
From the distance we heard Pony yelling," SODA! DARRY! SO- Mhhmmmm!" The boys bolted to the sound of the yelling I did too but I was far behind because I was still out of breath from before.
When I got there the mustang was gone and Soda was talking to Ponyboy,"Easy, Pony. They ain't gonna hurt you no more." I smiled Soda was such a good brother to Pony it kinda reminded me of Johnny and I.
Ponyboy didn't get ruffed up to bad he was just a little dirty from bein' tackled onto the ground and they slit underneath his chin a little, he had a little blood trickling down his neck.
Soda rubbed his head," You're a okay kid Pony."
Darry looked down at the two,"You guys are nuts." Questionably I looked at him whats so nuts about a little brotherly love? Ever since their parents died a few months back Darry has been nothing but strict towards Pony, he needs to loosen up.
Soda cocked an eyebrow he picked that up from Two-bit," It seems to run in the family."
I choked laughing faintly and watched Darry's expression he cracked a grinned and shook his head. I walked along side the boys considering I had nothing better to do.
"Hey CC" I look behind me and I see Dallas, why is Dallas talking to me?
"Yeah."
"What were you doin'- woah there!" when I realized what he was going to say I stop and pull him aside away from the group.
"What was that for?" He rubbed his arm slightly.
"I owed Angela a few bucks." I said bluntly.
He grinned questionably,"If that was the reason then why do you not want anyone else to hear? And it looked like more than a few"
I tilted my head down looking at the ground,"It was ten. And-" it's not his business don't tell him!
"And?" He mocked.
I huffed,"AND it's none of your business!"
I grunted and started to walk away,"Then I guess I'll tell Johnny."
I stopped not turning around,"I only owed her two the rest was a bribe."
"Bribe? For what?" I sighed and turned around my eyes were watering don't cry don't cry!
"A bribe to keep her mouth shut."
"About?" God dammit he's too nosey!
"My secret."
"What secret?"
"Cassie!" I heard Johnny calling my name from the distance and a tear slipped my eye.
I sighed my lip quivering "About tryin' to kill myself" I watched the shock and surprise expression hit his face and I ran.
It hurt to think about what happened a few days ago and it hurts that that feeling hasn't left me. I still want to kill myself. . . and I don't know what to do about it.
When I was running I could hear Johnny behind me still yelling my name. I'm a pretty good runner and so was he so the chase went on longer than usual. Despite how many times Johnny called and how many times I questioned myself I kept running and running and running.
I had been running in circles the same four blocks over and over I came to a halt when I heard something else," CASSIE WATCH OUT!" I stopped and turned but before I could move it was to late then everything went black.
