Nightmares

So uh...enjoy ig...

After the Curtis parents died, Brook and Ponyboy were always waking up either screaming or in a cold sweat.

Brook never screamed though. She was in her room alone, she didn't want anyone to worry about her. If Sodapop never cried, she didn't need to cry.

But this night was different.

Pony and Brook slept over at the Shepard's. Everyone already knew about Pony, but Brook kept hers to herself.

They slept in the spare room they had. "Brook?" Pony asked quietly.

"Yes Pony?" She answered.

"Did you cry when Mom and Dad died?"

Brook scoffed. "Like a baby."

"You never let me see you cry..."

"I know. That's because I don't want anyone to see me cry."

"Why?"

"I feel like if I cry, everyone will think I'm being overdramatic."

"I wouldn't."

"I know you wouldn't Pony." Brook smiled a little. "Go to sleep now kid." She said before closing her own eyes.

This part is cringy, but it's a nightmare, what do you expect...

Brook walked down the alley, careful to not make any noises. But her stupid ass snapped a stick and she heard the running of the guy chasing her and she ran.

She ended up running into a school and she mentally thanked the lord but also didn't. Schools echo...

She took off her shoes so she was in her socks and she ran up the stairs and into a room.

She heard ths guys footsteps downstairs, his heavy boots scuffing the tiles. Brook slowed down her breathing. She heard him go upstairs and her heart stopped.

He ended up rushing into the room she was in, she was hiding behind the door, stupid I know.

When his back was turned to the door, she slide out and headed downstairs again and out the door until she heard someone's rough voice.

"Don't move."

The stern voice made her freeze, not even her chest moved. "Turn around. Slowly!" He ordered. She slowly turned around and got a good look at the man.

He looked like he was her age, actually. His hair was dark, it was too dark to tell if he had green or brown eyes but they looked brown.

"I'm not gonna give you any chances, I've given you a week. Time is up." The man adjusted the gun in his hand that was aimed at Brook. Brook couldn't speak, she had no idea what she was gonna say.

"Quiet now?" The man said. "Fine with me."

The fact that a gun was pointed at her scared her to death, she was just frozen in her spot. She wasn't even sure that she was breathing- she wouldn't be soon anyways.

"I'll be nice and count so you're prepared for the shot."

Brook was too smart for that, she wasn't looking to get killed. She's rather live her life with her brother's and boyfriend.

"One." He said. She got ready to run. "Two." She ran and just as she moved, he shot. She knew he was gonna shoot her at two she isn't stupid.

He chased her once again and she continued to run. She ran out the doors and just ran where her legs let her.

Bad idea.

They let her get cornered at a dead end in an alley...great...

"Turn around!" The man screamed and before Brook could even process what happened, the man aimed the gun at her and she froze again.

She was gonna die, right here right now. She is gonna be that dead girlfriend and the boys are gonna lose another Curtis.

Soon, he shot and she felt pain shock her and she jerked up, her throat soon hurting after.

Pony was right next to her and soon people ran in. Brook was too shaky to speak. "What happened?!" Angela asked.

"Nightmare?" Pony asked and she nodded. He hugged her but she could only put her hands up to his because she was in shock.

Angela hugged her. "You gonna be ok?" Brook nodded and they left after thinking about it.

"Wanna talk about it?" Pony asked.

Brook took a deep breath and explained.

I'm sleep drunk again...oops...IDK WHAT TO WRITE! HELP ME!N
