The outsider

Chapter 41

Kourtney's POV~
I sat there with my eyes closed and sighed. "Hey." I tilted my head and opened my eyes to see Sodapop. "Is everyone safe?" He walked to me and began to undo my ropes. "Ponyboy and the kids are at bucks, he's got a gun and knows what's going on. I stopped by twos and told him to take Steve to the movies, there's no way she can get to them." I sighed with relieve. "What about Darry?" I stood up with the help of Sodapop and looked at his smile. "He's safe. Let's go kourtney." I hugged him. "Thank you Sodapop." He hugged me back, "Your welcome, now let's go."

I sat in the truck with Sodapop after relieving my self. "Thank you soda." He chuckled, "Don't thank me yet." I narrowed my eyebrows and turned my body to look st him as he began to speed. "Soda... what's wrong?" "I may have lied to you-" "Oh my god! The kids are they-" "No I didn't lie about that kourtney. Everyone's safe-" "Then what did you lie about?" He looked at me and sighed before looking back at the road. "Everyone's Safe besides Darry." I froze. "What?" "He stayed knowing that if he left with us Rebecca would know we knew and you'd be in danger. He's doing this for you-" "Sodapop! I can't believe you! Darry could be in real danger right now! I should have never let you-" "I had to come and get your kourtney! Darry's a big boy, he can take care of himself-" "Not against a unpredictable psychopath! God drive faster Sodapop." I leaned back in my chair and crossed my arms. "Kourtney I'm-" "Just drive soda, and call the police." I looked out the window in complete silents hoping of Darry was okay.

As we pulled up I jumped out of the car as Sodapop was putting it in park and ran into the house. "Darry! Darry!?" I stoped with a gasp as Darry was laying lifeless on the kitchen floor. "Darry! Oh my god." Tears started streaming as I dropped to the floor and held his head in my hands shaking it gently. "Darry... wake up. Darry please wake up! Darry please!" "Oh my god." I looked over at Sodapop, "She's here! I know it!" I looked back at Darry, "Dare... please wake up." I bent down and kissed him softly. "I love you." "That's why I did what I did." I looked up and saw my twin after with a smile on her face. Anger boiled inside of me, I slowly put Darry down and began to stand up. "You'll pay for this bitch." "Will I?" Sodapop began to move but I placed a hand out. "No. I want to." "Come on sis. Do your worst."

Soda's POV~
I ran to tend to Darry as kourtney began to fight her sister, she wasn't kidding when she said she'd pay for this. "Darry come on wake up. We can use that killer upper hook of yours right about now." I shook him but he didn't seem to show any signs of waking up any time soon. "Ow!" Kourtney screamed, I looked up to see kourtney falling to the floor and Rebecca standing there with a pan in her hand. "Oo. You'll feel that one in the morning." She looked at me and smiled. "Your next Sodapop." I looked kourtney, her head was inches away from Darry's, her hand almost touching his. I knew she loved him and he loved her more then anyone in the world, their love would over come anything, even death, and I had no chance with her at all. Still I stood up and made a fist ready to strike this bitch in the jaw. "No Rebecca. Your next. First my brother. Now the woman I love? Your in for it bitch." "Your not in love with her Sodapop, your in love with me. I'm the one who's been in thoes pants." Anger boiled inside of me. "Because I thought you were her!" Rebecca laughed. "You think you have a chance? She's fallen for the man who lays at your feet. Not you. It'll never be you. Never." "Your not gonna guilt me into a weakness, I know that already, and I'll never try to pull her away from him. I can take the pain." "I know you can... but can she." She gestered to kourtney. "Knowing that her best friend, her brother in law, is madly in love with her, and she doesn't feel the same? Imagine the guilt that brings on a person, imagine the pain and fear of showing the man you really love affection as the man who loves you watch. She'll never be the same... you changed her." I looked at kourtney and sighed. "Agh!" I smiled as kourtney tropes Rebecca on the floor and pinned her. "You arnt winning that easy bitch." With one punch to the jaw kourtney had knocked out Rebecca. "How the hell did you not knock out from a frying pan?" I asked with a smirk, she laughed a bit. "It hurts like hell but she didn't hit me that hard." Darry began to groan as he came two.
