I felt a sharp object pressing against my neck. Someone held me tight against their chest. "Hey Summer," the voice croaked. I could hear them smile.
"Hi Eric," I gulped.
"I've been waiting for this day. The day to get rid of you," Eric whispered in my ear.
"Well, that day hasn't came," I smirked. I quickly pulled out my switch and wrestled out of his grip. I held the switchblade towards him and narrowed my eyes. "You dare to fight me with weapons?" I asked tilting my head.
"Well, sure, hood," Eric smirked.
"I'm not a hood," I scoffed. "I'm a greaser," I announced. I swung behind Eric and put him in a headlock. I felt a throbbing pain in my arm. I winced before slamming Eric to the ground. I looked at the blade in my arm and slowly pulled it out. I winced, but I continued to fight. He got up and continued to wrestle with me. He held a blade to my throat.
"I will correct you. You're a soc," he whispered. Before Eric could do any harm I plunged my blade into his stomach. As a reaction he scrunched up and pulled away. I pulled my switch from his stomach. Blood poured from him and around him.
"Oh my God!" I yelped. I looked at my hands. His thick red blood covered my small, smooth hands. My clothing was torn, ruby patches covered them. I looked down at the limp body. He was dead, my cousin... I had killed him. I looked into his piercing, soulless eyes. Eric had been eager, power hungry. My mom... She had convinced him to attack me. He won't hurt anyone anymore. My act had hurt him in a way of no other. I took a life... I scanned the bloody, torn ground in disbelief. Am I going straight to hell? It was accident. I really didn't mean to! What will the gang think? My mom! What will she think?! I froze with widened eyes... The cops, crap... Oh mighty Lord! The cops are going to lock me up for years! But... It was self defense! Would they accept that? I realized I needed to run, hide. They might find me soon. I covered my face with the hood of my black hoodie. I raced down the sidewalks. What was everyone going to think? I thought again. I raced down the sidewalk and up the Curtis house steps. I opened the door and sprinted inside. "Quick! I need fresh clothes!" I winced.
"What the heck happened?!" Steve exclaimed. I gulped.
"I'm sorry! I might not be able to see you all in a long time!" I yelled.
"What happened, Summer?" Soda asked as he handed me new clothes. I didn't reply, instead I rushed into the bathroom and got dressed. Tears formed in my eyes. I sat on the toilet seat and cried. After awhile I exited the bathroom with red, puffy eyes. I hugged Sodapop tightly.
"I'm sorry," I said with a quivering voice.
"Summer, what's wrong?!" Darry commanded.
"I accidentally murdered my cousin!" I yelled.
"Summer, you what?" Soda asked holding my wrist. I escaped his grip and sighed. I walked towards the door.
"I love the gang. I love all of you, really... But I have to go before the fuzz catches me here," I explained before walking out the door. I sighed as I began to sprint down the streets. Eventually when I got to the Soc neighborhood the cops cornered me. "It was self defense! I'm sorry! I'll be a better person!" I explained.
"Tell that to the judge," the officer scoffed as he slammed the car door in my face.
