Ponyboys pov
I was walking home from the corner store with Steve two bit and soda when I noticed a mustang. I lightly tapped Steve on the shoulder. "Hm what's up kid." I point to the mustang. "What's the matter pony." Soda looks at me. "The socs have a girl. They just cut her with a switchblade." I yelled. All three of us took of running towards the mustang. "Hey leave the girl alone." Two bit yelled. The socs noticed us and took off running. "cowards." I grumbled. "Oh my god y/n!!" Soda picked up the girl. It hit me thats the girl soda was friends with.

We quickly ran all the way back to the house almost busting the door down. "Can you idiots be quiet-" darry stopped mid sentence. "What happened." He said almost yelling. "We will tell you later this girl needs help." Soda gentle placed her on the couch.

Y/n pov.
My eyes slowly open adjusting to the bright light. "And then we scared them off." I heard a voice say. I slowly sat up. I started freaking out when I saw a bunch of dudes I didn't know. "Hey hey calm down we didn't hurt you." The youngest one said. Slowly I sat back sinking into the couch. "Darry." The youngest one called.

A older man maybe in his 20 came into the room. "What's up- oh she's up." I was biting my nails. "Hey calm down we're going to patch you up." The guy put his hand on my shoulder. I nodded my head. "What's your name." He asked me. "Y/n l/n." I responded quietly. The youngest one brought a med kit. "I'm Darry this is ponyboy two bit Steve dally and Johnny."

Pony pulled out a bottle of peroxide and some bandages. "This might burn I'm sorry." He put the peroxide on my cut. "Thank you." He looked up at me and smiled. "Your welcome." Darry walked over to me. "You need a ride home kid." I sighed. "What's wrong." He questioned. "I can't go back there. My mom is always drunk I have to take care of myself most of the time." He looked concerned. "Dose she hit you at all." I slowly nodded my head.

"Listen why don't you stay here for a while. Go home and grab some things." I stood up. "I'll be back." I started walking to my house. I slowly opened the door. " where have you been." My mother screamed. I rolled my eyes. "Don't worry about it." "Y/n I am your mother." She yelled following me upstairs. "Really. If you were my mom you would care for me and not drink all of the time." I pulled out a bag and started packing. "Your the reason dad died you little brat." She smacked the back of my head.

I quickly packed my things and ran out of the house. Tears streamed down my face making my vision blurry. I make it back Darry opens the door. He noticed my tears. "I'm assuming your mom wasn't happy." He patted my back. I simply nodded. "Hey your safe with us don't worry." I put my stuff in the house and sat down deep in thought.

Maybe I am safe with these guys
