______'s POV (we don't know her name yet.)

I woke up in a strange house, with 5 guys sitting in chairs around the room.

I sat up and looked at the guy who was closest to me.

"I know you." I said in a hoarse voice. "I've seen you before, all of you. But I don't know who you are." The night was rushing back to me now. I remembered Bob and his goons, a parking lot with 7 guys…Greasers, I think, blood… a lot of blood a bright light, and hearing someone counting to 3.

"Where am I?"

"The Curtis' house." I heard a deep husky voice call from the other room. "And that ugly mug in front of you is Two-bit Mathews. He saved your life."

"He stayed with you for three days in the hospital, didn't eat, sleep or leave the room the whole time." A boy from beside…Two-bit, I think, said as he dodged a punch Two-bit threw at him.

"I-I uhh, I'm Lauren. Lauren Trait, nice to meet you…uh, Two-bit."

"This is; Ponyboy, Steve, Dally, Johnny, Soda, and Darry…superman, as we like to call him."

Soda and Darry popped their heads out of the doorway and waved at me.

"Are those your real names?" I said looking at Ponyboy, Soda, and Two-bit.

"Yup! Ponyboy Curtis, and Sodapop Curtis, our real names." Ponyboy said proudly.

"Two-bit is just a nickname-" Steve cut Two-bit off.

"His real name is-"

"HEY! No-one needs to know my name!" Two-bit yelled as he jabbed his index finger in Steve's direction.

I looked at two-bit kind of shocked and he gave me a big goofy grin. I couldn't help but laugh and then I felt a sharp pain in my side and passed out cold.
