Request? No

"(Y/N), what're your parents like?" Pony asked one day out of the blue. You and the rest of the gang were sitting in the Curtis living room watching Micky Mouse.

"I guess they're sorta like Johnny's." You responded. You felt everyone's eyes on you. "They like knives. And alcohol... oh! And yelling." You smiled at your friends.

" 'They like knives?' " Dally repeated, confused.

You pulled up the sleeve of your leather jacket to reveal scars. All the while your eyes glued to the screen. You felt someone trace a particularly jagged scar. You shivered at the cold hand. "Why are your hands so cold?" You asked turning to Pony, whose hand was still in your arm.

"Don't know, just are." He replied shrugging.

"Well, it's unnatural." You retorted. You pulled your arm from him, hugging it to your chest.

"We all know Pony has cold hands, it's just something weird we have to deal with," Darry said, in his sensible parent way. " Now tell us everything." He demanded.

"Not much to tell, they're alcoholics who like to use their knives on me. And yell at me." You responded, nonchalantly.

"There is much to tell! Like what you do after! Where you're going to stay from now on!" Soda exclaimed.

"I stitch myself up after. And I'm gonna keep living there till I can afford a place of my own. " You shot back.

"You can't stay there!" Two-Bit yelled at you.

"I can and I will! I'm not crashing at someone's place!! I'll be a burden!" You screamed back, breaking down in tears after. You sat there sobbing, all of the boys staring at you. The Johnny stood from the couch and sat next to you pulling you into a hug.

"Its ok, it's ok," He whispered into your ear, as he stroked your hair, rocking you back and forth. After you finally calmed down you sat in Johnny's lap. He was your boyfriend after all. (Little x Johnny on the side. He deserves to be happy. Plus he's my favorite.)

"I'm sorry," you whispered addressing the whole group.

"Hey now, it's ok," Darry reassured grabbing your hand and giving it a squeeze. "How about this, You come here to patch yourself up, or if they kick you out or something." He reasoned.

"That sounds good, it means I won't have to stay in the lot almost every night!" You exclaimed grinning.

"You said you just wanted to keep me company!" Johnny exclaimed.

"That too, " You said nervously. You let out an awkward laugh.

"You could always stay with me kid, I could get another room," Dally said, flicking the ashes off of his cigarette.

"No, it's ok. Don't want to disturb your sex life." You cautioned, crossing your hands in front of you. Everyone laughed at this, even you. "I'll just come here if I need to stitch myself up or something!"

"Yeah," Soda responded. "How about someone meets you half way every day? Like tomorrow I'll go wait at the halfway point between our houses just in case they chase you or something."

Time Skip

You sprinted around the corner grabbing Johnny's hand as you passed him, you tugged him along as you sprinted down the sidewalk. "Come on!" You hollered. "We gotta move!"

"Ok, ok! Why?" Johnny asked matching your pace.

Suddenly you heard a yell, "get back here you filthy greaser!!!" The Soc and his buddy's had been chasing you since your house.

The two of you sprinted until you reached the Curtis house, only slowing down once you pulled open the door.  You slammed it behind the two of you and sank to the floor, clutching your side as the adrenaline wore off. "Shit," you cursed. "Hey, stop starring and get me a needle and some thread!" You barked at the stunned boys.

Pony quickly rushed back holding the requested objects. "Don't look," you warned taking of your shirt to reveal a nasty cut bleeding profoundly. And you stitched yourself up, making little grunts at the painful process. "Finished," you called.

"Jesus (Y/N), way to make an entrance." Dally exclaimed from his spot on the floor next to the couch.

You chuckled dryly, "quite spectacular wasn't it?"

"Dude that was fucking badass." Soda exclaimed, You have him a warm smile in return. You lifted your hand and Johnny helped you up, wrapping his arm around your shoulders as you lent your weight on him.

"You know me, the one who masters the art of badassery in her spare time." You and Johnny walked across the living room until the two of you were at the couch where the both of you sat in front of. "I'm gonna sleep now." You mumbled.

Johnny chuckled, before laying in the ground with you on top of him. Then you drifted to a blissful sleep surrounded by your family.
