The Day I Left // The Outsiders

Chapter 4

I ended up leaving. The boys early at the Dingo because they were planning something called let's stay up all night and party at the dingo. I wanted to sleep in to have actual sleep for once. I heard banging in my door. Oh my god it's 9:00 am who the hell would that be. I said getting out of bed. I had some comfy black shirts on and a black tank top on. I threw my white robe over me and put my glasses on. I walked to the door. The banging was still coming.
"Give me one second"
I yelled at the door. I opened it and in front of me I saw a tall girl with brown hair and glasses wearing a black Kless Boys shirt and Jean shirts and her maroon converse on. Ellsa. It was my cousin Ellsa the one that looked exactly like me since we grew up or me exactly like her I don't know but we were always best friends. She had a duffel bag in one hand and an object under a white deal in the other. Probably another one of her paintings. I pulled her into a hug as she smiled.
"Ok ok can I set my stuff down first"
She said. I laughed and moved out the way so she could, come into my room. She threw her bag in the bed but kept her painting in her hands.
"Is that another painting of yours?"
I asked. She smiled.
"I made it off our last family photo Correra is not in it because we never got to a family photo with her in it but I did the best I could"
She said pulling the white cover off. It was our whole family. I smiled feeling the tears to start forming in my eyes.
"Oh Ellsa it's so pretty"
I said to her to get a better look at the picture.
"Can I stay here with you?"
She slipped into my staring. I stood up and looked at her.
"Of course"
I said.
"Why aren't you with your family though Ellie and Fred a.k.a Ean and Uncle Mat and Aunt Erin"
I asked. She sighed.
"They wanted you to have help because everyone else was working with there family's but your out her ALONE in Tulsa so they sent me to work with you"
She said as we both sat down on my bed.
"Of course you can stay with me I can get you a job tomorrow where I work today is my day off so we can do anything you want"
I said. She smiled and hugged me. I was about to say something else but the. The phone rang.
"Hello?"
I said as I picked up the phone.
"Hey Ash get dressed me and the boys got a surprise for you down stairs"
Soda yelled into the phone. I laughed.
"Alright see you in a second"
I said and hung up. I threw on my jean shorts and I grabbed the red kless's boys shirt I had that I cut into a crop top and threw that on over my black sports bra. I threw my red converse on which I should really stop saying because you know that's what I will be wearing. I brushed my hair and left the curls to fall on my shoulders. I turned to Ellsa.
"Ready to meet the gang?"
I asked. She smiled.
"Who is that gang?"
She asked.
"You will see"
I said grabbing her hand and running all the way down stairs. I burst through the door to see a light blue classic car parked in front of the building. I walked down the steps with a no you didn't face and the boys laughed.
"Suprise!"
They yelled.
"You did not I do not deserve this"
I said.
"Don't worry some rich guy dropped it off at the DX for repair the. Came back once we finished paid us for the paint job and engine work then said we could have it because he realized it wasn't his style"
He said laughing.
"And what is that supposed to mean"
I asked.
"It's a girly car all light blue and everything"
He said. I joined him in laughter then he saw Ellsa standing next to me.
"Who is this?"
He asked.
"Oh this is my cousin Ellsa she has come to stay with me"
I said grabbing her arm. She smiled and shook I
His hand.
"Well hello Ellsa I'm Soda and this is Ponyboy my brother and Darry my older brother and then Two Bit Dally and Steve and also Johnny"
He said pointing to each one if the boys. I smiled at her giant grin.
"Has anyone ever told you that you to are like identical"
Steve said. Me and Ellsa looked at each other and laughed. Of course they noticed who didn't now a days.
"I'm taking that as a yes I guess"
He said at our laughter.
"Well I think me and the boys deserve a little joy ride in your new car"
Two Bit said. I rolled my eyes at him and motioned for them to hop in. The roof was down so they would all fit. Dally, Steve, Two Bit and Soda sat on the trunk in the back. Darry, Pony, and Johnny sat on the seats in front if the boys and me and Ellsa sat up front. Ellsa looked at me as we put our seat belts on. She gave me a nervous look. If you knew anything about our family if you knew how to drive a car you drove it the right way and by that I mean the Kless way. Crazy and fast. I took of and the boys whooped as the wind blew through all of us. We all had giant smiles especially me I hadn't been in a car like this in forever. I loved these boys so much!
