The Outcast

Chap 16

The house was empty when I got in I turned on the kitchen light. Dumping everything I stole on the counter there was a note it read " we weren't sure what time you'd be back so Johnny is gonna be staying at Darry's, hope you're okay - The gang "  I smiled opening fridge taking out a slice of cake I sat in the living-room eating the cake watching twilight zone It was alright, after that I went up to my room I turned on the light on the bed was a large package with " Gloria" written in bold letters on the front I quickly got changed into pj's then sat on the bed, tearing the brown paper away it was a box with " The Gang" written it was Sam handwriting he always had curvy writing that was kinda girly, I smiled taking the lid off. Inside was stacks of photographs and objects the first photo was me and sam when I was a baby

I smiled at the photo before placing it to the side gently I looked through the rest , they were all photos of the gang and me with my parents I couldn't help but smile, there were objects with tiny notes wrote on them one that really stuck out was a small leather jacket a bit paper fell of when I picked up the leather I snatched it up reading it "first leather jacket and gift I gave you - Sam" my eyes widened this was the first thing Sam ever gave to me. I continued looking through the box there  were gifts I've gotten from either my parents, the Gang or Sam at the very bottom was a letter opening it taking out the yellow-ish piece of paper .
"If you are reading this Gloria, I should be dead by now either if its by age or anything else , I want let you know how much you've helped and changed me you may not think that but you have. When we first met I was a bitter angry boy who hated the world, but once I saw you I realised how dumb I was being You were the only thing I loved then, your parents treated me like their own family, Don't ever change Gloria never change not for anyone no matter what , You'll grow up into a beautiful women like your mother with a temper and an attitude but also loving and caring ,you'll be like your father loyal, honest , brave I could go on and on about them. I'm not good with words but I just want say Thank you for everything , I'll miss you Gloria I love you - Sam "

I covered my mouth with my hand trying to silence the cries but it didn't work I cried more and more shaking. " SAM!" I screamed out I put everything back in the box putting it to the side " Don't die on me now , Dammit Sam " I cried out my hands turning into fists I sat with my head down looking at the floor I was shaking with Grief and anger I cried for when felt like hours till I fell asleep.
I was woken up by knocking at the door slowly sitting  up, memories of last night instantly filled my head " Coming!" I tried shout but my voice was husky and dry from crying I walked sluggish to the door opening it slowly " Hey.." Johnny said softly the gang all stood quietly " come in" I muttered walking into the kitchen making myself coffee I never liked coffee but I really need it. " you okay?" Soda asked looking at me with a frown " Of course not! Someone who was basically my brother died hugging me" I snapped leaning on the counter I remembered the wallet I stole I picked it up walking into the living room " Darry here Incase you're in need of cash " I tossed it at him he caught it effortlessly " where'd you get this?" I didn't say anything Someone wrapped arms around me pulling me into their chest. A tear rolled down my cheek " It's gonna be okay... There's gonna be a rumble Greasers against Soc's in two days" Dally said looking down at me I knitted my eyebrows together frowning " I'ma kill them" I muttered Dally just nodded then let me go I sat beside Johnny resting my head on him " I miss him" I said dryly.
