Two-Bit's P.O.V-

I say down on the Curtis couch, watching T.V. I was quiet because I didn't want anyone knowing that I was hurting and then they would tease me. I heard Darry calling me from the kitchen telling to the chocolate cake was done.

I called back "No thanks. I'm not hungry."

Every one stopped and stared at me.

Dally narrowed his eyes "Say. You have been quiet, what's going on man"?

I glared at him "You never payed me."

Dally scoffed "Pay you"?

I nodded "I won the bet."

Dally smiled "That's right. You two kissed."

I replied "Yes. I want the money."

Dally responded "I will pay you later. I have to go get some."

I glared at him "I want it by tonight."

"Okay, okay. Jesus. Calm down, man." he said, weirded out by my anger.

I looked back at the T.V, quietly.

Johnny stared at me, and I looked at him "What are you looking at"?

Johnny quickly looked away and Darry snapped at me "If your gonna have that attitude you need to leave."

I stood up "I'm leaving. Dally meet me at the Drive in tonight to pay me."

Dally nodded "Okay."

I left the house and angrily walked down to my house. I felt bad for yelling at Johnny. But I wasnt gonna go back into the house. Darry had pissed me off and I would probably say something really stupid that would get the whole gang very mad at me.

I opened the door and angrily shuffled by my little sister, ignoring her. I went into my room and locked the door.

I looked out the window and saw Evie and Steve walking, hand in hand. They had their heads leaning on each other and I realized how much of a fake Ivy was. Our relationship could have been like that. If I ever went to jail, she could have cried for me. Just like Evie did when Steve went to jail.

It was all over. The only thing that made me feel a tad better is that Ivy also mad Tim leave.

The only bad thing was that Ivy and I lived in the same neighborhood. She lived in the next street, and I might see her and her flashy red car driving home.

Evie and Steve turned into her street and I closed the curtains not wanting to see any more.

Ivys P.O.V-

I walked slowly to my car, and decided to drive to the warehouse quickly, just to clear things out with Tim.

I walked inside and their was Tim, sitting down. He looked up and smiled when he saw me "Hey Ivy"!

I faked a smile "How is it going Tim"?

Tim kissed my forehead "Perfectly good. I'm so proud of you."

I nodded "Thanks. Um I have to go do something with my parents so I have to go but I will see you later."

" Okay, see you later. " he said, waving.

I walked out of the warehouse, and blinked back tears. I got into my car and started driving home.

I drove down the street and looked over at Two-Bits house. The curtains were closed and I couldn't see anything. I frowned, hating myself for what I did to Two-Bit.

I parked my car in my drive way and locked it. Steves car was here, so I hid my frown not wanting any questions from Evie. Evie was probably still mad at me as well. I opened the front door and hung my jacket, on the coat hanger.

I set down my keys and walked into the kitchen, ignoring Evie and Steve's presence. I grabbed a beer from the fridge, took a sip of it, then set it down.

I grabbed all the supplies to make a sandwich and I quietly started making one.

Evie walked into the kitchen "Your not going to say hi"?

I looked up "I thought you were still mad at me."

Evie nodded "I'm not. I guess I feel kind of bad for you."

I raised an eyebrow "Oh really. Why"?

Evie leaned up on the wall "Well you know. Your sad day."

I looked at her "I'm fine. Evie. There is nothing wrong. Thanks for the worries. You want a sandwich"?

Evie shook her head "No. Are you sure your okay"?

I washed the lettuce "Yes. do you know what happened" ?

Evie nodded "Two-Bit broke up with you."

I scoffed "Two-Bit and I were never dating and that is not what happened."

Evie gasped " What happened then."

I started cutting up the lettuce "I told him to leave and to not bother so any more."

Evie screamed which scared me causing me to cut myself. "why would you do that" ? She yelled.

I grabbed my hand "Jesus, Evie! You made me cut myself."

Evie wet a paper towel and handed it to me "You deserve that. That is so mean. Why would you ever do that" ?!

I glared at her "To protect him"!

Evie raised an eyebrow "How"?!

I rolled my eyes "Tim threatened to kill him! I would rather him be hurt mentally than physically" !

Evie held her mouth "Oh my God! Why didn't you tell him that"?!

I shook my head "It's no use. He needs to stay mad at me so he won't get near me and Tim won't hurt him."

Evie looked as if she was going to cry "This is horrible! Your right, it is like Romeo and Juliet" !

I washed my cut hand under the water "Just don't tell Two-Bit. I don't want him to forgive me."

Evie nodded "Fine. Just to protect him"?

I blinked back tears "Just to protect him."

Steve's P.O.V-

It was hard not to eavesdrop on a conversation like that. I was sitting down in the couch quietly, while all of that went down.

To me, it seemed stupid not to tell Two-Bit. I wanted to tell him ,but I had to respect their wishes.
