Ponyboy and I were walking out from the movies. The only thing that was on my mind was a way home. It wasn't enough for a greaser to be with someone in order to not get jumped. Pony and I were walking home when a car drive past us. I noticed that it was some Socs that were following us. I started to worry. Pony when I started walking faster but it wasn't enough. The car pulled up and a bunch of Socs came out. They surrounded me and Pony. I was scared. I had seen how bad my kid brother was when he got jumped. Who knows what would happen to us. I was more worried for Pony's sake. One of the Socs grabbed me from behind and another started touching me in places he shouldn't. I tried to struggle, until I got a knife to my neck. I screamed. Suddenly the Socs let us go and ran off. I ran to Pony and held him close. We watched as the Socs were chased away by our gang. Soda checked in us real quick before running after the others. Darry and Johnny stayed with us. Soda came back, followed by the gang. "Did ya get them?" Johnny asked. " No they got away. " Two-bit said. I didn't pay much attention. I buried my face in Darry's chest. I tried not to cry, but failed. I was the only member in the gang besides Johnny, who could cry in front of everyone and not get called weak. Heck, if some one did, Dally and Darry would beat the tar outta them. Darry carried me because I wouldn't let go. I could tell he liked it when I clinged to him. I listened to Pony's argument with Darry. I didn't like it when Darry fussed at Pony. "Come on Darry, even with some one with him, he still got jumped. All he came out with was a scar." I said. Darry let me go and I held his arm. I could feel him flex his arm. He always like to prove how strong he was. Dally said he was going to the movies and asked if anyone wanted to go. Pony asked Darry and Johnny asked me. " Yeah, since it ain't a school night. " Darry said. "Johnny, don't sleep in the lot. You come over to my place. Got it? Not passed midnight." I said. Johnny nodded. Darry and I went to Darry's house. We got comfy on the sofa. After a while, I had to leave. I kissed Darry, and gave Soda a kiss on the forehead, and I went home. I had moved out of my 'folks' house the minute I turned 18. I have been free of torment for 2 years. I am now 20, same as Darry. I let Johnny stay with me when he can. I hardly ever let him sleep in the lot. I got ready for bed, brushed my teeth, and went to bed.
