I run until, I can't run breaking down panting and crying.

"Hey look it's a grease!" I hear somebody say.

"What the hell!" I yell.

"Aw, don't be feisty," one of them say.

"I'll be what ever the fuck I want," I holler at him for being so rude.

"Get her," the one I talked to yells.

I get throw to ground and man does it hurt, I lay on the cold hard ground getting held down and kicked. I soon feel something cold held up to my cheek. "Move and you'll meet blood," the guy on top of me yells.

I sob out yelling, "SODAPOP! DALLAS! STEVE!"

"That's it, I warned you bitch!" He yells as he slides the blade down my cheek into my shirt. I feel his hand traveling, his lips pressing against my neck. I sob harder and louder. He grabs the blade once again, cutting down my stomach. "SODAPOP!" I cry out.

"Shut up and it won't be as bad," he commanded. I did as he said and shut up, as he kissed my neck, cheeks, stomach, legs and more, I shut up as he cut me up. I cried softly to myself wishing I had never came back. I then feel him get knocked off and I hear yelling, "don't touch my baby sister!"

It must be Dallas, I found the strength to yell, "Dallas help me!"

As I yelled for help he ran to my side scooping me up, "it's going to be ok Sarah. I promise, I can't loose you again."

"Does Soda, have my bags still?" I asked.

"Yea, he brought them back to his house, that's where I'm taking you," he says softly rubbing my head a little bit.

"Dallas, I love you," I say truthfully.

"I love you too kiddo, your my beautiful kid sister," he says and I see a smile come over his face.

"Should I stay with you or Sodapop?" I ask him hoping he says himself.

"You can stay with me if you want," he smiles.

"I think that's what I'm going to do Dally," I say hugging him tightly.

He looks down at my bruised wrist gasping, "did I do that to your wrist?"

"Yea, but it was an accident," I reply.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," he replies still running to the Curtis house.

"It's ok Dally, I know you didn't," I reply as I hear gasps all around me, I must be at the Curtis house.

I hear Johnnycakes cry, "Sarah!"

"I'm ok Johnnycakes, I'm a Winston, I can take it," I say smiling at Dally.

"Do you want me to take her?" Sodapop asks.

"No, man she's my baby sister, I got her," Dally replies.

"Wow, somebody's getting all soft for his kid sister," Steve jokes.

"Shut up," Dally replies.

"Yea, shut up Steve," Pony mocks.

That's when Two stumbles in slurring, "Steve couldn't shut up for a million dollars."

"Two, I think that's you," I say and the gang erupts with laughter.

"Burn!" Darry yells out through his laughter.

"Oh I see the dad of the gang is even joining in on the jokes, shocker," I joke making a fake shocked face.

"You sure she ain't Two's sister instead of Dally's?" Johnnycakes asks because, Dally doesn't normally joke.

"Yea, I just ain't a hard like him," I reply poking his cheeks and pulling his lips into a smile.

"Gosh, she sure is funny," Sodapop blushes.

"Awe, Soda are you blushing?" I ask him jokingly.

He turns all shades of red ad the gang and I all joke, "Sodapop, likes Sarah! Sodapop likes Sarah! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

I look at him, "lets give 'em what they want."

"What do you me-" he starts but, I cut off by kissing him. He sits there stunned for a few seconds but, soon joins in. He licks my bottom lip begging for entrance, I gladly let him in, our tongues meet as he cups my hand in his hands. We sit there our lips moving in sync forever until, I run out of air and we both pull away. There were sparks in that kiss!

"Damn girl, you can kiss!" Two says in awe.

"Maybe she really is Dal's sister," Johnnycakes add.

"Yea, but it was only because you were egging us on, right Soda?" I lie through my teeth, I've wanted to kiss that boy for forever.

"Yea, Sarah," he replies sounding a little upset.

Dally sits there shocked with his mouth hanging open until I say, "shut your mouth you're catching flies."

'O-ok," he stutter closing his mouth.

"Who wants to play truth or dare?" I ask the gang and they all nod in agreement.

We sit down in a circle and I turn to Dally asking, "Dally truth or dare?"

He replies as soon as he can, "dare."

"I dare you to run outside yelling I'm a stupid brother," I smile at him evilly before adding, "then kiss the first person you see no matter what gender or age."

"Damn girl," Steve says.

"Let's watch,"Pony says.

We all sit on the steps as we watch Dally stop in front of a forty year old man and leans in kissing him as the gang chants, "tongue! Tongue! Tongue!" We watch as he makes a disgusted face licking the bottom lip on the old man. The man denies entrance and Dally pulls away running back to us. We're all laughing but, he's grunting in anger.I simply laugh out, "come on Dally, lighten up."

"Yea Dal lighten up," Johnnycakes add.

I smile at Johnny and he smiles back. We reform the circle and now it's Dally's turn to get one of us, "Johnnycakes truth or dare?"

"Truth," he replies shakily.

"Do you like any girls right now?" Dally asks Johnny.

Johnnycakes blushes as he says, "I do." The whole gang starts hooting, whistling and making wolf noises.

"Sodapop truth or dare?" Johnny asks.

"Dare," Sodapop replies.

"I dare you to go to the DX with nothing on but shorts," Johnny dares and Soda does it as he says it. I bit my lip looking at Sodapop shirtless, damn is he hot!

"Oh my god, look at Sarah biting her lip!" Two-bit hollers.

"Who ya thinking about, a shirtless Sodapop?" Ponyboy taunts.

"No, a shirtless uh I mean he has a shirt on uh," I pause and think about who to say over my fumbled words then I quickly add, "Andrew."

"Who's Andrew?" The gang asks together.

"My boyfriend, back in Florida, I broke up with him before I came back here," I inform as Sodapop walks in.

Soda looks at me with an evil smirk, "Sarah truth or dare?"

"I ain't no pussy, dare," I reply.

"I dare you to call this dreamy Andrew," he says making a dreamy voice.

"Ok," I say walking over to the phone the guys huddle around me as I call.

"Hey Andrew, I um missed you," I say looking at the gang making an I don't know what to say face.

"Oh, Sarah I miss you too!" He replies happily.

"How are you?" I ask making small talk and the gang starts laughing.

"Good, when are you coming back? I mean you said it was only for a visit to get over this guy," he replies.

"Fuck," I mumble under my breath.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Nothing, I'm just with that guy right now and my friends didn't know I was planning on going back to Florida," I say looking at a ton of hurt faces.

"Oh, I'm sorry, listen we should try it again when you come back," he says sounding serious.

"Listen, I don't know how long it's going to be before I come back, the guy I liked it's harder to get over him. You should try to move on," I reply because, I don't know if I'm going back to Florida.

"No, I won't move on. Sarah I'm in love with you," he replies.

I cringe at those words, I'm not in love with him, "I got to go my friends are um waiting. Sorry, uh bye."

"Bye Sarah," he replies sadly.
