You're still going through school. In high school actually. Barely a Freshman.

You stayed with Dally, Your older brother. Going frequently over to the Curtis' to go study with Ponyboy or hang with Johnny.

But at the moment you're in your room. Crying hard. You usually didn't cry but you couldn't defend yourself. Absolutely beat down, Bruised, black eye and bleeding.

The other people at school weren't nice, Especially the Socs. That's who picked on you today on your way home.

Now you're waiting for Dally to come home. You're smoking a cigarette as you shake, Tears rolling down your face.

The door silently opened. Dally coming inside the home. "You home Kid?" Dally called out, Walking down the hallway to your room. Leaning on the door as it slowly swung open.

When he caught sighting of you he couldn't believe his eyes. Seeing you bruised down. "What happened to you?" He said, Coming close to you and hovering slightly over you. Taking your hands away from your face and looking you over.
