The Outcast

Chapter 12

I've been staying at Buck's for a couple days the hardest thing about it was avoiding Dally so whenever Buck saw Dally he'd have either hide me or distract Dally till I got out. My hand was healing pretty well everything was going well man I even got Job buck wouldn't believe me the type of job I landed as well , Modelling I know right? Well turns out I was perfect they were looking for some 'thug' they want me do some shoots wanted someone who looked tough instead of the glamorous girls you see they wanted know life as a greaser and some stuff about me , I couldn't even believe it as well it pays extremely well I was so chuffed, they'd even helped me get a house it's  actually near here I move into it in like a week. all they wanted was me be their model and show what's it's like living rough . Buck had a party to celebrate but really it was another excuse to party. Everyone was drunk I was tipsy I had be careful since I was still healing I was planning snooker with some random guy I was currently winning when someone tapped me on the shoulder I turned to see Dally " Gloria where ya been?" He said angrily but also concerned "'here the whole time" I slurred leaning against the snooker table " come on the gang been worried " he grabbed my hand dragging out of Bucks and down the street " Watch the hand " I growled he instantly let go noticing my bandaged hand " from the Soc?" He asked turning his back as he kept walking I followed trailing behind " yea" I rubbed back of my neck feeling a headache come already, the walk was quiet none of us said anything. He shoved me up the porch into the house I glared but didn't say anything "Gloria!" Was all I heard I was brought into a hug it was soda " I- we thought you'd disappeared after the fight we were worried " he spoke so quickly " where ya been?" Johnny said from the floor he was sitting on " at Bucks " I said I pulling soda off me " how ya been ?" I asked the question mainly aiming it at soda " been good got told take it easy for a couple days " Soda replied I was patting my pockets looking for my smoke " you look rough" Darry said I found my smoke I took a cancer stick lighting it I instantly felt more relaxed " yea, Doctor told me if I keep up getting into serious fights it's gonna really affect my health when Im older" I said looking back at my bandage hands "why didn't you tell us?!" Steve demanded standing up I rubbed my temples " it's fine I mean look at me man Im healing well.. stuff looking up for me I even got a job and house" I smiled everyone seemed calm down more Dally was still in a mood I was pacing around trying get my thoughts together " so what's the job?" Pony asked looking up from his book " Modelling, Now before you say anything they were looking for some greaser I so happened to fit the bill , They want me do some shoots , write about life as a greaser and some personal stuff .. it pays well they even helped me get a house and I haven't even done a shoot yet" I exclaimed I was really happy for this job I'd have Money a house . " that's great Gloria!" Darry stood patting my back hard probably harder than he intended " When you start?" Darry asked "tomorrow actually " I huffed rolling my shoulders my headache was pounding now I let out a deep breath leaning on the wall " you okay?" Johnny asked I just nodded " you were on the news again " Dally said I smirked of course I'd be on the news "Who's up for truth and dares since Kids are still here" I grinned looking at Pony and Johnny who just sat looking a little annoyed " Great idea! Ill get the beer" Two said heading into the kitchen

We sat in a circle darry and steve moved some furniture out the way so we could. It was currently Soda turn Darry was asking " Truth or Dare" Darry asked " Truth" soda replied sipping on a Pepsi "Most embarrassing thing thats happened to you " we all sat waiting for soda answer " when Gloria threw the ball at me when I came out the shower" he grinned "Dally truth or Dare" soda asked " Dare" Dally smirked We all sat thinking of a dare Dally wouldn't do " Lap dance Johnny " I smirked Two let out a loud laugh " No I don't do that stuff " Dally quickly said " come on show ya ass man" I complained, No matter what we said Dally would not Lap dance " fine you have run down the street naked" Two said Dally shrugged standing up to take his top and jeans off he went outside closing the door then couple seconds later you could see him running " He really did it" Pony said we were all laughing like hyenas mainly because it's gonna be freezing out there and because we saw Dally skinny white ass. A minute later he came back in with boxers on " Dally you need do more squats " I giggled he just shoved me over putting his clothes back on " Truth or Dare , Gloria " Dally said as he put his shirt back on shivering " truth " I replied " Worst Guy you ever dated and why" he asked slightly shivering I let out a chuckle there's been a few but none gonna beat Mark " Mark , He was like a psychopath he was always with me, I couldn't do anything without him knowing like if I wanted go out with friends I'd have ask him not my parents but Him" I practically shouted throwing my hands in the air. I don't know why this made me remember that I had to talk to Johnny I stood up my joints shouted in agony but I ignored it " Johnnycakes can we talk outside?" I said softly two let out a ' Ooooo' I winked then stood outside on the porch with Johnny making sure the door was closed " what you wanna talk about?" He seemed a little uncomfortable I leaned on the wall Johnny sat down on the stairs looking at the stars " You know how I'm getting a house?" I asked he just hummed in reply " well I was thinking ... you could stay whenever you want how long as you want" I trailed off looking at the stars I was never one for them but Pony would talk about sunsets and how beautiful they are I never really got it I mean it's always there " You asking me to move in?" He questioned turning to face me I just nodded he smiled but it was quickly replaced with frowning " what about my parents what will they think?" He started panic over thinking I bit my lip deciding what say " Johnny you know what they'll think they wouldn't care you know that... but after work tomorrow We can go ask for their permission if that's what you really want" I smiled looking at him " Thanks It means a lot " he smiled then he stood up I opened my arms for a hug which he gladly took we stood like this I was a little taller then Johnny even though we're a couple months apart " I'll take care of you " I leaned my head against the wall stroking his head , I heard some sniffling as if someone was crying I looked at Johnny " you crying?" I asked " no?" We looked confused then We heard a bunch of shuffling and hushing just behind the door I pushed open the door knocking over someone. Turns out the whole gang was listening and Two bit was almost crying over the conversation " That's so nice of you " he  cried hugging Johnny " Well you gonna take the offer?" Darry asked crossing his arms " Yes" Johnny grinned everyone cheered I saw dally look down trying hide his smile. We continued playing truth and dares everyone getting slowly more drunk of course excluding Darry Soda pony and Johnny so really it wasn't everyone, everyone went bed in a good mood.
