Oh, and I do not own the Outsiders in any way shape or form... But Alex is mine though.

Two-Bit smiled and looked up at me. "What's all the yellin' 'bout?" I sat next to him, a grin on my face.

"Darry just said I could stay here until I find my dad." Sodapop and Ponyboy smiled. "So what room you gonna be sayin' in?" Soda asked. There were only two bedrooms in the house. Soda and Pony shared one, and Darry had one to his own. I shrugged.

"I guess out here on the couch."

Pony spoke up. "You? Sleepin' out here on that bumpy couch? Nah. You can share mine and Soda's room." I blinked. Me sleeping in a room with two guys? One of them being totally hot? Psh, heck yeah!

"Um... Okay," I simply responded.

"We can lay out the spare mattress on the ground for ya," Soda said, standing up, and walking into the kitchen to clarify things with Darry.

"Well, if you guys don't have enough room for her here, she can always stay at my place," Two-Bit suggested.

Pony and Johnny laughed. "At your place? Man, she'd probably end up killin' herself with all the junk layin' 'round there," Pony joked. I giggled. Soda skipped out of the kitchen.

"Darry said she could bunk with us!" He ran into his and Pony's room. Probably to look for the spare mattress.

Soon after Soda left, Dally burst open the door. I turned my back and scooted closer to Two-Bit. I still didn't trust that hood. Two-Bit smiled and put his arm around me. "Shoot Dally, what did you do this time? This gal's already scared of ya!" Dally just sighed and plopped down on the couch.

"Nothin' too bad. Don't know why she's freakin' out like that." I narrowed my eyes and turned to Two-Bit, who obviously wasn't buying Dal's story.

"He threatened me, and put a blade to my throat." Two-Bit didn't look too surprised.

"When you put it that way it sounds so violent. I was just playin' 'round with ya. It's not my fault you can't take a joke," Dally said, lighting up a cigarette. I was shocked. Playing around? Who the heck plays around like that?! I was going to set him straight. If that was possible. I jumped up from my seat, Two-Bit grabbing my arm trying to stop me.

"Hey kiddo, don't!" Too late. I marched over to Dally, smacking him in the face as hard as I could.

"Sorry, I was just joking around!" I mocked.

My blood ran cold at the look Dally gave me as he recovered from the slap. Even Two-Bit fell silent at the glare. Dally sneered. "You," he said, words very well dripping poison. "You, the little Soc girl, have the gall to actually touch me?!" His words had picked up volume and tenacity by the end of the sentence. He rose up from the couch, and I gulped as he raised his hand, about to deliver what I had given him, tenfold.

Just as I was about to cringe, a small voice came from behind all of us. "Hey, um... the room is ready?" It was Soda, and to be honest, I had never felt relief rush through my body more than at that moment. I quickly ducked away from Dally, and followed Soda to the room.

Soda looked at me and cocked an eyebrow. "What was thatabout?" he questioned. I shuddered at the thought.

"Nothing, nothing..." I casually said as we walked into our room. It was simple. Two beds, (if you consider a mattress a bed that is) one desk, closet, and window. Much smaller than my room back home, but it got the job done. I smiled and jumped onto the rather flat mattress. It was much more comfortable than I thought it would be. "Wow!" I said, rolling around. "This is great!" Sodapop chuckled and joined me. We were caught in a mess of rolling and giggling, we didn't notice Darry standing in the doorway.

"Well, it seems you two have... Bonded." Soda and I looked at each other and smiled. "Now you two get some sleep. I'm waking you guys up first thing in the mornin', you got that?" Darry lectured. We both nodded.

I had nothing to sleep in. Darry let me borrow one of his shirts for the night. It wasn't that big, but big enough. I scurried under the blankets, and passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. It had been a long night, and all I wanted to do was get some sleep.

I know it's kind of a short chapter, but there's a lot more coming your way. Tell me what you think!
