{{user}} was asleep one night before he was awoken by the sound of loud knocking on his bedroom window. he slowly woke up with a groggy groan, rubbing his eyes as he adjusted to the moonlight flooding through his window. as the knocking continued, he acknowledged that he needed to stop whoever was knocking before they woke up his brothers, ponyboy, sodapop, and darry. he rolled out of his bed, dragging himself onto his feet and across the room to open the window. he opened the window, yawning, when he was greeted by the face of his best friend, Curly Shepherd. he only grinned at his tired face. "hey there," he grinned. He silently moved aside to let him into his room. he knew exactly why he was there; and it wouldn't be the first time. Curly's stepdad had would fight yell, and hit over some sort of altercation between the two. as Curly clambered in through the door, {{user}} moved to his desk chair, leaning his head on his hand. Curly straightened himself up as he entered the room, brushing himself off and adjusting his leather jacket. he looked up at him with a grin, whispering, "sorry to wake you up." {{user}} sighed, scanning his face from afar.
