For JohnnyTheOutsiders

I was walling to the lot bored and sad. My parents again hit me. Why did they do that? We were once so so happy...dad just had to keep gambling. Mom just had to gamble too. Why did they lose all their money in one night? Why did they always get drunk? Last of all why me? I'm their son...why did they hurt me?

I walked into the lot with blood dripping from my arm. A bruise on my face and a small cut on my jaw. I'm pretty sure my ribs were cracked because they hurt. A lot. As I entered the lot tears fell. Damn it...I promised myself I wouldn't cry! Why couldn't I be tough like Dally?! What did I ever do wrong?!

I collapsed into the ground crying. I was going to do it. I was going to kill myself. No one would miss me anyway. I was a burden to the gang, to my parents, to the socs, to everyone. Maybe it was best to go...

I pulled out my blade and put it to my wrist. Before I could make a cut I heard a small whimper. Was it a dog?

I got up and followed the whimper. The whimper turned to shallow breathing to sobs. Then I realized it wasn't a dog but a person. I carefully approached them. They had longish black hair. When the moonlight hit them it gave off a natural shine. I stepped closer and saw it was a girl. I could tell by her soft muttering.

"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry mom and dad. I didn't mean to disappoint you. I love you. In sorry" she whispered and I stepped closer.

Instantly she stood up turning quickly. A blade in her hand. Then only then I saw her. She was beautiful. She had that black hair of hers that gave off that natural shine which was beautiful. Her bluish-grey eyes were big in shock and shone in the light. She was the definition of beauty. She also wasn't that tall either. 5 foot maybe but that only added to her beautiful features.

"Hi, I'm Johnny," I said calmly for once. It was odd. For once I felt...okay.

"H-hi...I-I'm Moonlight..." she spoke quietly. It was quiet but sweet.

I stepped closer and she raised her blade stepping back.

"I'm not gonna hurt you Moonlight" I spoke softly and pulled out my blade. I saw her tense but carefully I sat it down on the pavement stepping closer. She finally lowered hers.

I walked closer to her and I saw the tears falling from her eyes. I slowly raised my hand up wiping them. I saw her flinch. I saw the fear.

I looked down a bit and moved her hair from her face and lifted her chin to face me. God, she was beautiful.

"What's wrong?" I asked stroking her cheek. She only looked down...afraid.

"I'm not gonna hurt you," I said again and took off my jacket placing it on her shoulders.

"Sit," I said sitting onto the ground carefully. There she sat with.

"M-my parents started kicking me a-around. Said I w-was useless. A m-mistake" she choked out and another tear fell. Quickly I wiped it.

"Moonlight, it's going to be okay. See? I'm here. Alright? And I'm never going to hurt you" I said and she smiled shyly.

"I know how it feels...to have your parents not love you anymore. My dad just beat me a while ago. Threw a beer bottle at me. That's why I have this gash in my arm. The bruises are from him hitting me with his fist and the cut is from the knife he used to threaten me"

She cried and buried her face in my chest. I winced a little and she pulled away. Quickly I pulled her back.

"You are never. Ever going back there. Ever. You hear me Moonlight"

"W-why are you s-so nice to m-me Johnny? Y-you don't even k-know me" she stammered. I only kissed her head softly.

"Because no one deserves this. Now you aren't going back. You're gonna stay here. With me. Deal?"

She nodded.

//A week later//

I woke up to Moonlight close to me. The past week her and I have been inseparable. It's to the point I don't even think I've seen the guys in a week. Huh, I guess right now she only mattered.

She woke up with a small smile on her face. She's been happier now that she didn't go back to her parents and honestly that makes me happy. Like really happy.

"Morning Johnnycakes" she smiled and I smiled back.

"Morning Moon" I said back. I only saw her look down in embarrassment.

We got up grabbed some food and walked around for a bit. Maybe I should introduce her to the gang? I mean, I trust her and all there's no doubt in that but what about the guys...they don't accept people that easily. They're more...cautious.

"Moon, can I ask you something?"

"Of course Johnnycakes, what is it?"

"There's these people I want you to meet. They're like my family"

She tensed up.

"Oh no. They aren't like my parents. They're like a real family. At least what they should be like"

She nodded lightly. "Okay"

//At the Curtis's house//

We got to the Curtis' when I walked in with her hand in mine. She kinda wiggled around. Probably to get out of my grip.

"Hey! Johnnycakes! You're okay!" they all yelled and hugged me pushing Moonlight to the side. Completely ignoring her.

I saw her look down and walk away to the door. Quickly I pushed them off and held her hand despite her protests.

"Guys, this is my friend, Moonlight"

"Hey Moonlight," they all said and she waved back shyly.

"Do you want something to eat or drink? God, excuse them. They're a bunch of retards. We have cake and coke in the kitchen. You want some?" Darry asked her. She looked at me and I nodded.

"It's okay. He's nice. He's like a father to me. To all of us"

"I'm not that old am I?"

"Dude, you're 21 without a girlfriend...so yes. Yes you are" Two said and he rolled his eyes.

"What is with all the ruckus?!" someone yelled walking out with a angry look. I only smiled.

"Hey Winter" I said and she smiled.

"JOHNNYCAKES!" she yelled hugging me. I saw Moonlight tense.

"Aw, Johnny, do you bring a girl?!" she asked excitedly.

"Calm down angel, I'm sure she and Johnny don't need you questioning them. It's been a week after all" Jax said wrapping his arms around her.

"Who are these people Johnnycakes" she whispered.

"Moonlight, this is Darry, Two, Steve, Dallas, Jax, Soda, Pony, and Winter"

She smiled at them and waved.

"She sure is pretty Johnny" Steve said and I held her possessively.

"Mine" I growled and she blushed.

"Steve, stop being an idiot!" Winter snapped hitting him and looked at us.

"Hey, I'm Winter of course and those three idiots are my brothers" she said pointing to Soda, Pony, and Darry.

"Hi. This is a lot to take in...how do you live with all these people?!" she asked shocked. We all laughed.

"We don't all live here. Only us four do" Winter said motioning to her and her brothers again.

"Anyway, you single?" Dallas asked and she nodded. I only glared at him.

"Stop it Dallas" I snapped and Winter had this smile.

"Why? She isn't yours and she's single so w-" before he could finish I pulled her outside and kissed her. She gasped and I pulled away.

"I-I'm sorry M-moonlight. I-I-I" I stammered for the first time in a week. She only smiled and kissed me again.

"It's okay Johnnycakes" she giggled. Oh God. She drives me crazy.

"Will you be my girl" I asked without hesitation.

She smiled and nodded.

"Yes"
