Gloria -
We were going back to the Curtis's to get ready for a party that Bucks was having Darry had carried my bags from hospital. I had already gotten a shower scrubbing off any dried blood off me I was already dried and was just pulling my skirt on when the bathroom door opened I forgot lock it I spun around see Pony standing "Oh geez, I thought you'd finished- ermm sorry!" He blushed quickly slamming the door shut a couple seconds later hyenas laughter could be heard from the living-room I decided just wear a tight royal blue low cut top with a tight short mini skirt with my boots knowing I could get free drinks with this outfit throwing on my leather jacket exiting the bathroom "Took you long enough" Two-bit complained "well sorry but someone interrupted me getting dressed" I smirked looking at Ponyboy his cheeks turned bright red "time to go" Darry said opening the door we all got up and headed to Bucks "Gloria is it true Pony says you have great rack" Dally smirked "yep, but you'll never get see it " I replied "what about me?" Two-Bit said sliding an arm around me "wouldn't try that Two-Bit last guy did that got a broken wrist" Alex said lighting a smoke Two-Bit quickly removed his hand.
laughter, cheering and music could be heard entering the house we were greeted with smoke, booze, vomit and sweat heading to the bar I ordered drinks for everyone except Pony and Johnny I stood waiting for them when a man bumped into me almost spilling his drink on me "Oh sorry dol- Hey Gloria!" He said who was this he wasn't a greaser he looked like your typical punk. Bright purple mohawk dark tanned skin with amber eyes with studded denim jacket and ripped jeans "it's me! James you know J? Man its been years !" I remembered now "HEY! Sorry I didn't recognised its been ages and you've changed!" I smiled nudging him with my elbow James is an old friend of mine from Chicago "look who's talking look at you" he laughed bringing me into a bear hug "how come you're down here?" I asked grabbing the drinks James grabbing the rest we walked over to the table where the gang was sitting "been traveling around alot ya know just so happened to be here" he said smiling James was a good friend but also a big hood "who's that?" Sodapop asked taking a sip from his drink "This is James he's an old friend from Chicago he been traveling around and happened to be here" Taking a gulp from my drink "you have friends thought you only had one" dally said chugging down his "She does actually" James frowned "Hey Alex or Jason I don't know who I'm talking to" James said shaking Alex hand "Gloria I've gotta go find my friends before they leave without me, I'll talk whenever I see you" just like that he was gone I let out a sigh "Im gonna go dance" I stated heading to the dance floor.
After spending an hour or more dancing with strangers I decided find a corner where there wasn't too many people I leaned against the wall taking in the scenery the people "karaoke!" Someone on a mic shouted shortly after that at least half the people were sitting listening to people singing some good some were terrible I was about zone out when I saw Alex getting onto the stage music started playing I knew instantly it was Elvis in the ghetto it was his favourite. I smiled watching him sing dance getting the crowd to join in
Alex was really good at singing I told him he could be a singer but he shrugged it off saying he wasn't good looking enough and wouldn't be allowed cause his background. Which is true no one gonna hire someone with a criminal record "I want to dedicate this song to a good friend of mine" Alex said over the mic the music started to play yet again i knew this one
Its was Elvis again his latest flame
"A very old friend came by today
'Cause he was telling everyone in town
Of the love that he just found
And Gloria's the name of his latest flame
He talked and talked and I heard him say
That she had the longest blackest hair
The prettiest green eyes anywhere
And Gloria's the name of his latest flame"
I was taken off guard he changed some lyrics to my name was this to Lucas as well? My eyes started to water I quickly wiped my eyes before anyone saw "Hey... erm you okay?" I looked to see it was darry "Im fine" I said looking back at Alex on stage still singing "Dally told us about your parents... and well I know how it feels so does soda and pony if you need talk you can come to us" He said quietly "thanks Darry" I smiled looking up at him then realised how short I looked Darry noticed as well he burst out laughing "oh come on im not that short" He just grinned at me "it's getting late me and my kid brothers have get up early feel free to crash at ours" he said walking back into the crowd to get soda and pony, Johnny probably be leaving as well.
It's been hours since Darry left Steve and two-bit even left an hour ago, I can't remember how much I've drank by this point I was drinking whatever was given to me I was dancing with this guy I can't remember his name he's been buying me drinks but they tasted a little off but I shrugged it last time I saw Alex he couldn't stand straight but him and some girl were heading to one of the bedrooms. "I need to sit down" I slurred to the guy he just nodded he was alright looking had dark brown hair with hazel eyes great build though "what you doing here broad this is my seat get lost" a familiar voice said I was slumped over the table so I had look up it was dally "Too bad" I slurred barely even words "what was that" Dally spoke louder bending down to meet my face "you have nice eyes" I mumbled grinning "how many drinks have you had?" He asked why does he care "I don't know but that guy over there been non stop buying" I pointed to the guy I was starting feel dizzy now "I feel sick" I got up walking to the bathroom using the wall as support was the bathroom this far? I giggled at the thought of how dumb I must of looked I finally got to the bathroom opening the door falling to the ground I crawled over to the toilet I moved my hair out the way so I wasn't gonna throw up in it I started throwing up everything I've had all day it wasn't a pretty sight I heard someone come in while I was throwing up they pulled my hair out the way holding it in a ponytail "than-" Before I could even finish I started throwing up about a minute later I felt drained turning my head to see the person holding my hair "you okay?" It was dally "I fucking love you " I grinned well aware I looked disgusting but I didn't care "bit early for that?" He smirked maybe Dally has a slightly nicer side when he has a few drinks in him "you know... you'd be a nice looking guy if you kept your mouth shut " I slowly stood up Dally held onto my arm keeping me balanced "same for you, Ima take your back to the Curtis's. Alex already left said he's got a place crash" Dally said putting my arm around his shoulder "What about the guy my free drinks?!" I practically screamed "he's been trying to spike your drinks, amazing how you've only just thrown up" Dally basically carried me out of Bucks I was putting my full weight onto him laughing at how nice he was being "why are you being so nice?" I said not aware of how loud I was talking "want me leave you here then?" I shook my head .
Soon we made it to the house lights were off except the living room "darry might be still up" I said starting to sober up Dally pushed the door open with his hip dragging me in the process " HEEEY! " two-bit whispered shouted turns out everyone was staying here even Alex "so this was the place you were all talking about" Dally said letting me go I fell like a sack of bricks "what happened I thought you were nice" I cried from the floor Dally just looked at me then jumped onto the couch were steve was laying "aww Gloria I'll be nice come here I have more drink" two-bit said shaking a bottle. Moving beside him after a couple more drinks we decided play truth or dare and it was my turn "Truth or dare" Steve said "truth" Boo's were heard "tell us about that Punk kid in Bucks " two-bit said I was leaning against the couch my legs sprawled out with two-bit legs on mine and he was leaning against wall "he's a friend from Chicago Biggest hoodlum I've ever seen" I smiled "AYYY" steve and two-bit high fived me this went on for a little while Before we all passed out.
"what on Earth have we got here" I heard Darry said slowly siting up to see Steve hanging off the couch Dally was slowly pushing steve off it Alex was laying over the coffee table and me and two-bit were hugging in our sleep "would you look at that" Soda said nudging me and two with his foot "turn off the light" Steve mumbled trying turn over but ended up getting kicked off by Dally "It's called daylight" ponyboy said from the kitchen I went to roll back over but someone lifted me up "oh no you don't " it was darry "let me sleep" I whined he shook his head making me stand it was too fucking bright I put my hand over my eyes shielding them from the sun "everyone get up and clean this mess!" Darry shouted everyone just groaned in response but started clean except dallas and Alex "Alex come on" I nudge his shoulder picking up the bottles on the table he instantly stood up "Im up im up" except it was Jason I groaned internally I watched as Jason went over to the fridge grabbing another bottle already chugging it down "its 10am and you're already drinking" Steve mumble "never to early to drink plus helps with headache " Jason replied his accent thicker then normal "I agree " Dally said also grabbing a bottle.
Once we all finished cleaning I laid on the couch watching Mickey mouse on the tv "move ya legs doll" soda said walking out the bathroom with only a towel on "maybe you should get pants on before you think about sitting" Pony said "I'm going for a shower " I announced getting up and heading to the bathroom "Hey wait no Its my turn!" Ponyboy shouted running to the bathroom shoving me out the way I quickly grabbed him and lifted him " no you don't" I grinned dropping him into the living then running back into the bathroom locking the door. I stripped myself turning on the shower hopping in the water was alright I grabbed the shampoo and washed my hair after that I conditioned it then washed myself I hopped out the shower realising I didn't grab a towel "Hey someone get me a towel" I shouted "just come out I'm sure the view be great!" Two-bit shouted back but seconds after he said you could hear him being smacked on the head "Johnny can you get a towel for Gloria" Darry said. when did Johnny get here? I sat in the bathroom for a minute or so before there were a knock "its me..." Johnny said quietly I opened the door just so my head could peak out "Johnny what happened to your face..." I frowned his face was covered in bruises and cuts his lip was split and his neck had a red and purple hand print on it he looked down almost crying "it was my parents" he said very quietly I grabbed the towel wrapping it around me before opening the door more grabbed his chin tilting his face to look at me I've seen beatings before and this was more then a beating "you can tell me" I said softly his eyes started to water more his lip started to quiver "it was Socs" he bawled I felt bad for him I never feel bad for anyone. "why did you lie" I said softly trying not make the anger in my voice show "I- I don't know " he kept crying getting louder I brought him into a hug trying comfort him I'm not good at this stuff but I've had comfort lots kids who've been jumped it's something I've never gotten used to or good at "what's going on?" Dally shouted suddenly the gang was here watching "Johnny what's wrong" pony said Johnny didn't say anything he kept crying shaking "Socs jumped him" I answered rubbing Johnny back slightly rocking him side to side like a mother I cringe at the thought of me being a mother "WHAT?!" Dally screamed startling Johnny in process "who did it Johnny?" Soda said patting Johnny shoulder "same ones as before" he mumbled his crying started to die down but I still kept hugging him everyone tensed up. so this wasn't his first? "Those rich scum bags" Steve muttered "you mean this isn't the first time" I demanded "That's how he got the scar" Darry added in I moved Johnny into the living room sitting him down I could see how pissed off everyone was but Jason me and Dally were the most pissed off. I went into Darry'd room where my things were I went through my bag grabbing a set of clothes and the blade I had hidden in hospital "what you doing?" Jason said "want go teach someone a lesson?" I said handing him a blade he just smiled in reply he pocketed it then leaving I hurried to get dressed then stormed out everyone was sitting trying cheer Johhny up "what are you doing?" Darry stood up seeing that I had a blade in hand "just paying someone a vist what the soc look like?" I said shoving it into my pockets " blue mustang, blonde hair he has lots rings too" Johnny said not even looking at us I nodded "I'm coming" Dally growled "no stay with Johnny" I replied leaving with Jason
