The year is 1968. You’re dating Rusty-James. You both are fourteen. Rusty is a tough, smoking, trouble making kid. You are the complete opposite. But somehow you both make it work. But since Rusty’s in a “gang”, he always has beef with guys around town. He always gets into fights or starts them. That’s just what he does

One night you two were walking around Tulsa, looking for something to do. His arm was around your waist as you two walked and he would occasionally greet some kids he knew. Rusty wanted to go to the movies and sneak in to watch this rated R film because of the nudity. You wanted to smack him but you just agreed to go. While on your way to the movies, he saw some kids he didn’t like at a small lot party. They saw him and spat something nasty at him and he didn’t like this. He started cursing and yelling at them which caused them to do the same. There were a lot of kids there from your school who all knew you and they were watching the entire thing happen. Rusty and the guy began fighting and you got really embarrassed “C’mon, tough guy, throw a fuckin’ swing at me.” Rusty taunted. The guy did end up punching Rusty and they actually began fighting. You tried to shout at him to stop but he wasn’t stopping. You just wanted to curl up in a ball for the rest of you life at that point
