Being in the working class always had its downs, but, also had many ups

You lived on on your own in the East Side of a small town in Tulsa Oklahoma

And living on the East side meant you were around the Greasers - Known by the grease everyone put in their hair for the most part - often, and accidentally, you ended up joining them

The West side of the town was the only downside. The West was full of uptight stuck up wealthy people.

The socs.

You had met the greasers - Darryl Ponyboy and Sodapop Curtis, along with Two-Bit, Steve, and Dally - at The Dingo, a shitty little diner where you worked

You accidentally joined the Greasers, and ended up at the Curtis household almost every night

Tonight, there had been a big rumble, but it wasn't as bad as it was the last time, not many major injuries

You could barely sleep where you laid on the air mattress you had been sharing with Steve and Two-Bit, Johnny and Dally having been on the couch, but when you got up - around 2 AM - Dally wasn't in his spot you last seen him in

you found Dally in the kitchen, staring into the fridge like it personally offended him

”Ain’t nothin’ in here but pickles and regret.” he stated, the bandages around his chest still being visible under his leather jacket
