Dallas
you dab at your bruised cheek in the mirror and start to cry, you couldn't believe Dallas had hit you he has never done anything like that ever again and if he thinks he can just walk in like nothing happened he's wrong. You'll never forget this ever. You go to leave the bathroom when you see your mom's face when she saw you cheek.
"What happened?" She asks covering her mouth with her hands.
"Mom, i'm fine, it doesn't matter anymore." You say as she places he rfinger on your bruised cheek.
"It was that Winston kid wasn't it?"
"Mom, it's not a big deal." You manage a smile.
"He hit you, he actually hit you."
"Mom-" You were cut off by the doorbell ring. You just kiss her hand before opening the door and seeing the person you hated most right now. Dallas Winston.
"Hey-" He begins. You don't let him talk you just slap him across the face. he is taken back at first but then returns to looking at you and smiles small. "I deserved that."
"You deserve so much more Winston." You cross your arms.
"Can we talk?"
"What is there to talk about you hit me and left this." You say pointing out your bruise. His eyes get wide like he didn't notice it before.
"Oh my god, I don't know what was wrong with me. I'm so sorry i promise nothing like that will ever happen again, i don't know what i was thinking." He says tears in his eyes.
"You're right it won't happen again because I don't want to talk to you anymore ever again." You say going to close the door but he stops you. he places his lips against your when he gets the door open. You feel butterflies in your stomach and spread through out your body.
"Just give me another chance please." He begs his forehead against yours.
"Fine, but don't think we'll be the same like we were before." You warn.
"Fine, i just need you in my life." He says kissing your bruised cheek.
Two-Bit
You must have fallen asleep in the bath tub because that's where you woke up. You rub sleep from your eyes and pull the curtain back. When you stand up you get dizzy. You steady yourself before stepping over the edge of the tub and looking your figure in the mirror. You think Two must have went to bed because you didn't hear any noise from outside the bathroom door. You were wearing sweatpants and one of Two's shirts from yesterday, you had a huge yellow, purple and blue bruise on your chin and a cut on your lip. You can't help but touch it with your finger, you immediately regret it. Flinching you make a disgusting face to you ratty uncombed hair so your threw it in a quick ponytail.
Maybe you can get outta here without having to talk to him you wonder listening to the door by placing your ear to the door and hands on the door knob. You hear nothing, his mom must be gone to. Or she's sleeping. You unlock the door slowly, You start to open the door when something stops you but it wasn't moving.
"What the hell?" You whisper to your self poking your head out, there's nothing eye level but when you look down you see a sleeping a Two-Bit still in his clothes from last night as well. You was sitting upright like he didn't plan on staying there. You slowly move it a little bit more but you wake him up. His eyes flash open. He looks around before standing to his feet and seeing you, he just hugs you and holds you in his arms.
"I'm so sorry, I promise that will never happen again, i love you, please forgive me." He says soaking the shoulder of your shirt with tears. He takes his face way from your shoulder seeing your bruise and cut, "Oh my god i did that." He says touching it with his finger.
"Two, just promise me this won't ever happen again."
"I cross my heart and hope to die, you can even stick a needle in my eye." He says. You brush away the tears on his red cheeks and plant a kiss on his lips.
Ponyboy
You hadn't gone to school for three days. You told your mom and dad you were sick and didn't feel good. You were way to scared to face Pony. After what had happened you just didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. You hid your black eye and your forehead cut with makeup as best as you could it fooled your parents and that's all you wanted because you didn't want any questions about what had happened, you barley knew yourself it was all just a blur.
"Sweetheart?" You mom says coming into your room.
"Yeah?" you ask not rolling around to see her.
"There's a boy here for you." She replies. You roll over and see Johnny standing in the doorway his hands in his jean jacket.
"Hey." Johnny gives you a small smile.
"Hey, come in." You reply giving back the same smile. Your mom leaves the room and Johnny sits at the edge of your bed.
"You need to talk to Pony." He blurts after moments of silence.
"No, after this, it's not happening." You reply pointing to your bruise.
"Holy crap," He says not wanting to look at what his best friend had done.
"yeah." You roll back over.
"Just please, he hasn't ate anything since what happened, and he hasn't gone to school, i haven't even seen him out of bed yet, Soda and Darry are really worried about him, Darry even took off yesterday and Soda took off the day before because they didnt know what he was going to do." He explains.
"Yeah, good he hit me and i could never forgive him."
"All he does is cry now, this morning Soda found him sitting on the bedroom floor ripping out pages of a book that you said was one of your favorites."
"Fine, but this is for me not him." you stand getting dressed and you and Johnny head to the Curtis house. Soda is the one who answered the door, the first thing he did was hug you.
"Thank god you're here." He says taking your hand and taking you to Pony's room, he was laying on the bed facing the wall not wanting to see anything in the doorway.
"Pony?" You whisper. Pony shoot ups and is quick to take you in his arms. You can already feel him crying.
"I'm so sorry, i- I" He staggers. You pull him away and he cries even harder seeing the damage he had done. "Oh god, I did that, I can't believe I did that." He sobs.
"Pony just calm down." You say brushing hair from his face. He couldn't though so you planted a kiss on his cheek.
Johnny
You had spent the last few days at home but managed to go to school even though Johnny wasn't there. But when you got to school one day Johnny was there but wasn't with any of the gang, you just try to avoid him and pass him. He sees you though.
"Y/N?!" He calls after you. You try to ignore him but you can't because he grabs your shoulder. "Can-" He starts but is cut off by his surprise of you black eye. "Oh my god."
"No shit." You roll your eyes going to leave but he stops you.
"Wait, i'm so sorry, i don't know what was wrong with me. I think that after what happened that night my head was everywhere and I just- I just did it and i regret it so much i just wish that i could take it back and make that night go away so it never happened i spent the last two days thinking about it and I just can't stop thinking about it and how shit i feel about it." he explains his black eyes filled with tears.
"Yeah I wish something else would go away to, the last year and a half i spent with you so this wouldn't have happened and I wouldn't have to remember that night." You say tears forming in your eyes but you put on a poker face.
"Please, i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry i hit you, that's not like me, I would never do it again, i dont even know why i did it this time." He says a tear falling from his cheek. "I'm sorry i there aren't words that can express how sorry i am."
"Johnny, i forgive you but, i won't ever forget."
"Please just take me back, i'm so sorry, i don't even know-"
"Johnny, i just don't know if i can." You say adjusting your backpack as you see the gang approach the school.
"i was afraid of that." he says tears now pouring down his eyes and you knew greasers never cried in public. You wrap your arms around his neck and place your forehead against his.
"I love you Johnny, and I hate it that i do, but I do and seeing you like this is worse then me having a black eye." You whisper. He leans down to kiss your lips.
Sodapop
you hadn't seen Soda in a few days and you didn't spend them being happy, you spent them either in bed or anywhere else at home because you were hurt. You were sitting on the couch now with an ice pack to your cheek because it was hurting really bad today. It was bruised and it hurt like a bitch. You change the channel again and keep switching until you find something which was just some stupid romantic movie. You roll your eyes and keep switching.
"He's lying." You yell at the TV sipping from your glass of pop. There's a knock on the door. You turn off the tv and set your ice pack down before opening the door to Soda who had his head down because you knew he was crying, you knew him and you knew that that's what he did.
"Yeah?" You ask your smile gone and tears already welling in your eyes but you sniff and put on a poker face.
"Hey, um, I wanna talk to you." He says wiping his eyes before looking up but not looking at you because he didnt want to se what he had done to your cheek.
"Talk." You reply wiping the tears that hadn't yet fallen from your cheeks.
"I'm so sorry, the letter to Sandy was saying that i was in love and I wanted her in my life-"
"I knew it!" You say anger rising in your voice.
"No, she asked me to visit her and I said that I was in love with someone and that she wasn't that person, it was you, i want you in my life not Sandy, Sandy and I probably wouldn't have lasted because who would know when she would leave again or, just stop talking to me all together. You're different, you're special to me,"
"Why didn't you say that?" You ask.
"I was to scared because you were so angry and i never said it before, i've never said that I'm in love with someone and I was just to nervous to say something, so I got angry with myself and took it out on you and I shouldn't have and i'm so sorry." He says looking at you. He sees your cheek and then another gang of tears fell down his cheeks. "Oh my god."
"Oh my god is right," You say wrapping your arms around his neck and planting a hard kiss on his lips.
Darry
To Darry's surprise you were sitting on the couch with Soda and Pony when he got home. As soon as he walked in the door though Pony and Soda left you two alone. They didnt just leave they left the house because none of you knew what was going to happen.
"Hey." You manage.
"What are you doing here?" He asks no anger in his voice as he sits next to you.
"I don't actually know Darry." You say as he puts a hand on your knee.
"I honestly don't even remember what happened that night, I just remember coming home and being angry and you asked me what was wrong and I remember you running out and me running after you." he confesses.
"Yeah, that's what Pony and Soda told me." You say moving hair away from your face and tucking it behind your ear. When Darry looks up he notices your bruise on your cheek that your hair was hiding. You automatically regret it and replace the hair back. He saw though, he tucks the hair back again and puts your chin in his fingers.
"I hurt you, I hit you, I actually hit you." He repeats not believing what actually happened a couple nights ago.
"Yeah you did, but i still came back and I'm still sitting on the couch with you beside me." You whisper.
"I'm so sorry, please just believe me when i say that will never happen again and I promise I will treat you the way you deserve starting now." He says.
"I believe you." You admit. He kisses your bruise before you lay your head on his shoulder and letting him hold you which he happily did, he was just happy to have you back in his arms again, because these past few days have been the worst of his life ever. "I love you Darrel Curtis."
"I love you so much more then you can even imagine." He kisses the top of your head.
Steve
It's been about three days since you and Steve had broken up. You didn't want anyone to know the hand shaped bruise he left on your wrist so you avoided short sleeves and stuck with long sleeves. You still hung out with Johnny and Pony though because they were still your friends even though you and Steve weren't together. Today, you guys were at the pool because it was the summer. But you didn't swim even thought Johnny and Pony spent twenty minutes trying to get you in. The rest of the gang was on the other side of the pool and you were fine with that because you didn't want to spend any time with Steve right now because he didnt even know you had the bruise.
"Is it because of Steve?" Pony asks moving towards the edge of the pool and sitting on it,
"No, we broke up i'm done with him." You lie. usually you hung out with Dally and Two but they were with Steve.
Johnny looks at Pony and neither of them looked convinced. You just sat criss cross applesauce in front of the pool with your long sleeve on the hottest day in Tulsa.
"Aren't you hot? Maybe you should just take off the long sleeve." Johnny suggests.
"I'm fine, I'm not hot." You lie taking a sip of water.
"You know he can't hear you from down here right?" Pony asks eyeing Johnny. You look down to Steve who was having a blast with the rest of the gang.
"I don't care if he can hear me or not." You say anger in your eyes.
"Okay, you look like you're gonna pass out, just roll up your sleeves," Pony offers worrying about you,
"No," You plainly say standing up. You are about to head to the bathroom to collect yourself but when you start to walk you pass out.
Steve saw you and jumped out of the pool not using the ladder to run to your side. He was quick to pick you up and take you to shade where he took off your shirt leaving you in your bikini top so you didnt heat even more.
When the gang saw your bruise they were confused.
"Steve what the fuck it that?" Darry asks kneeling beside you and pointing out the hand print on your wrist. Steve's face looses all color this was the first time he has seen it to.
"Oh my god, that was me." He whispers.
You wake up on the couch in the arms of Steve, you look around and notice you're at the Curtis house. You sit up and see you were in one of Steve's shirts and not your anymore. Darry and Soda were in the kitchen.
"Hey." Soda says smiling a little.
"Hi." You say going to stand up but Steve had a protective grip on your waist. "What the hell?" You ask confused on why you couldn't stand. Steve was now awake, he rubs sleep from his eyes and sits up to look at you. He puts his hand on your bruise and rubs it with his thumb.
"Good morning." Soda says to his best friend.
"It is now." Steve smiles kissing your temple he whispers in your ear. "I'm so sorry, I had no idea I hurt you like that, I'm so sorry."
In response you just kiss his cheek and wrap your arms around his neck letting him rubs your back. Darry and Soda just look at each other and can't help but chuckle.
"Shut up." Steve says continuing to rub your back for comfort.
