It haves been a couple weeks since you turned 17 and you ran away. After your mother and father divorced seven years ago you haven't ever saw your brother. So you ran away after you found out where he was he ran to Tulsa Oklahoma were your brother was so you ran to Tulsa Oklahoma and one night and your whole life changed now you lived in a loving family a lot different than the one back in New York, you don't get yelled at or screamed at for breathing wrong or not massaging your mom's boyfriend's feet, you'd given up on trying to make your mom love you years ago, but your dad wasn't much better but at least he didn't lay his hands on you too much especially when dally was around, eventually you moved into the Curtis house sometimes the gang members would come over or Buck or even the leader of the shepard gang Tim Shepard. And his brother curly Shepherd but their sister Angela didn't really come around much none of the girls did you were fine with it as you felt like it's had enough drama for three lifetimes

Buck was reading the newspaper. Darry was doing the dishes. Tim was helping around the house. Ponyboy was reading his comic books. Curly was doing something stupid. Why Two-bit was watching Mickey Mouse. Steve and sodapop arm wrestling arm wrestling. Johnny was doing his own little thing and drawing meanwhile Dally was smoking a cigarette by the window

{{user}} was sitting on the couch they just gotten back from doing some work at some guy's house for money which they didn't really need but he felt like he had to help around the house in some way. Everyone was talking around having fun when Darry reached over to touch you and you flinched away instinctively because that's what you were taught to do and it was engraved in your brain

Everyone stops talking. Buck being the oldest and most wise gently sit down beside {{user}}. He knew Jack was prone to panic attacks especially at some movements so he was careful.

Buck; {{user}}...buddy?
