Two-Bit's P.O.V-

I was walking down the street, trying to keep a low cover as I made my way over to Bucks. I knew I would have Sheppherds gang all up my ass because of what I did yesterday. It really sucked cause I usually would only have to watch out for SOCS.

I passed by the lot and saw Johnny so I thought I would say, hi.

"Hey Johnny. How are you doing"? I said.

Johnny looked up quietly "why did you punch Tim"?

I stopped smiling "Because I had to find a way to get away, Johnny. Or else he probably would have done it to me."

Johnny nodded "He said that he was going to do something. That you would regret punching him after you left. Darry tried to talk him out of it but it's too late."

I shook my head "What"?

Johnny looked down "I don't know. He wouldn't tell us. You have to be careful Two-Bit. You shouldn't walk alone anymore."

I sighed "Johnny I'm not as weak as you are. If you think one threat is going to scare me your wrong."

Johnny frowned "Whatever you wanna say. Just be careful."

I patted his back "I will see you around."

I walked out of the lot, lighting a cigarette to warm up from the cold air. I blew smoke out as a ring and smiled at myself being proud of the trick I had learned a few weeks back.

I walked a couple more blocks before arriving at Bucks.

Ivys P.O.V-

"You know what I want. The truth, only the truth." Said Tim.

I backed up "What are you talking about" ?

Tim grabbed my arm to keep me from getting away "You have been with Two-Bit behind my back, haven't you"?

I glared at him "let go of me. Who told you such a thing"?

Tim replied "Only your proud boyfriend. He seemed so excited for the kiss you two shared yesterday."

I bit my lip "He is not my boyfriend."

Tim nodded "So you just kissed him as a friend"?

I shook my head "I don't know what your talking about."

Tim shoved me causing me to stumble onto the floor "Ever since Curly died, you took it as an opportunity to fool around with other gangs while I was distracted with my grief."

I looked up at him "Thats not true."

Tim frowned "Well what is it then? We're you messing around with them before Curly died" ?

I tried standing up but he kicked me back down "I wasn't messing around with anyone. I was supporting you and you told me to get away from you."

Tim grabbed me by my shirt "I should have realized it before. Is that why you fought with Angela and I yesterday standing up for the Greasers" ?

I took a deep breathe "No. I was standing up for Evie. She is my sister. She is family."

He tightened his grip "You told me that my gang was like your family."

I tried breathing but I started looking my breathe "Your-r. Ly-ing." I said stuttering across my words.

Tim dropped me and I quickly grabbed my neck, "So I am not your family. I saved you from bullies. I protected you when no one would and you won't consider me family" ?

I shook my head "Ever since Curly died you revealed your true colors. I don't want to consider that family."

He lifted his hand as he was going to hit me "DON'T YOU REALIZE WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR YOU" ?!

I flinched "Stop. Tim, you know violence is not the answer."

Tim nodded "It is when your dealing with a bitch"!

" don't call her that"! Yelled A voice.

Tim and I both looked up and saw Two-Bit.

Tim started angrily laughing "Did you know that he was going to come here"?

I shook my head "Two-Bit you need to go."

Two-Bit walked over to me "Did he hit you"?

I looked at him "Two-Bit you need to go." I repeated.

Tim nodded "why don't you leave? Your girlfriend is requesting it? Dont you respect women and their wishes" ?

I glared at him "Both of you need to leave. Your disrupting the peace in this building."

Two-Bit stared at me with hurt eyes.

Tim scoffed "Peace? This is a damn bar for goodness sakes."

Buck stood behind me "Leave. Before I call the cops."

I looked over at Two-Bit.

He shook his head "Your not who I thought you were." He walked out and slammed the door.

I sighed and looked over at Tim "Tim you need to go. I will meet you at the warehouse, later on."

Tim seemed astonished "Your a good girl Ivy. You rejected a guy just so you can stay in my gang. good girl." He patted my shoulder and walked out, humming a tune.

Buck looked over at me "You okay" ?

I shook my head "No. I have to return to the bar, if you will excuse me."

I walked behind the bar and sat down. I started crying into my hands. I didn't mean to hurt Two-Bit. I just wanted to protect him from Tim.

Tim would never rest if I was with Two-Bit. He would do the worst things possible just break us up. I wiped off my tears and stood up. I had to finish working.
