I SCREAMED AND Pony pulled me back from the gun, making my face land right into his chest. I stayed there for a second and slowly turned around.

"It's okay, you can let them in." My mom's voice called from inside the house. The guards let us go in and I flipped them off, causing all of the guys to chuckle.

When the guys saw my parents, their eyes went wide. They already knew they were alive, but just like me, it was surprising to actually see them in person. Gramps looked so pale, that I felt bad for running out on him. Even if I was pissed off, my grandpa is my number one hero. Tears started running down my face and I ran to him. 

"I'm sorry for scaring you like that, Gramps." I sobbed into his chest. 

He rubbed his hands through my hair. "No, I'm sorry, Sunshine. If we wouldn't have kept this from you it wouldn't have happened.

"If we wouldn't have kept it from her, she would be in extreme danger!" My dad retorted and I let go of Gramps and rolled my eyes. "I wish you two would've just stayed hidden because I already know you're going to make my life a living hell!"

My mom and dad kept quiet and my mom looked like she was about to cry. "Kieran, you shouldn't have said that." My grandpa spoke while putting his hand on my shoulder.

"I shouldn't have said that?" I started raising my voice, "I don't care! They pretended they were dead, and now since I know they work with the FBI, they're going to do all kinds of things to me!"

Dad shook his head. "Kieran, we aren't going to do anything to you. So you and Gramps can be safe, we have to move out of the state."

A dismal expression washed over my face and my dad immediately noticed it. He pulled me into a hug and I took in the scent of his cologne. It brought me back.

We let go of the hug and I ran to give my mom a hug. "I'm sorry, baby-doll." She whispered, her voice cracking. I shook my head. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said all that stuff."

"I would've said all that stuff and not regretted it." I heard Two-Bit mumble and I heard Steve nudge him in the ribs which caused me to giggle. My mom and dad smiled and glanced at the gang.

"You guys better take care of her." My dad spoke in his tough voice and they all nodded. I gave them one last hug and they left.

"They're gone.... again." I sighed and walked out the door. I was sitting on my front porch swing when I heard someone sit next to me. It was Pony. He put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into a side hug. "I'm really sorry, Kip."

I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head while keeping my gaze towards the ground. "It's fine, Pony. Anyways, you wanna tell me how you yelled at Cherry? It'll probably make me feel a whole lot better."

He chuckled and laid back on the porch swing with his hands behind his head. "Once you left the Dingo and Jay's, she kept going on and on about you."

"I'm guessing they were all bad things." I started laughing and he nodded while groaning. He started mocking Cherry's voice, "How does she eat a steak everyday? How is she not fat because of it? Why do you even like her?" He kept going on and on and I was laughing so hard, I swear I could've grown abs.

Pony started laughing with me, causing me to laugh even harder. We both have those contagious laughs where they're so funny, people just laugh also because our laughs are hilarious. We both caught our breath from laughing and I leaned my head against the chain that was holding the porch swing up. "You know, I look at the sunset everyday now thanks to you."

Pony glanced over at me and smiled. "I've been trying to get Dally to look at em', but he doesn't listen to me."

I chuckled. "Dally doesn't listen to anybody."

"You don't either." Dally's voice came from in front of the door, causing Pony and I to jump like fifteen feet in the air. "You scared the hell out of me!" I shouted and they both started laughing. I crossed my arms at Dally, "And what do you mean I don't listen to anyone?"

Dally rolled his eyes, "Oh, umm, let me recall tonight. 'Kieran, don't make a sound or they'll hear you,' next thing I know you breathe out a puff of air that's as loud as Two-Bit!"

(I LAUGHED SO HARD LMAO I CRACK MYSELF UP^^)

Ponyboy and I immediately started bursting out into laughter while Dally just shook his head at us, not amused. The other guys came out and gave us weird looks. "I want what they're on!" Soda shouted, "I need to get my mind off Sandy."

I shot him a glare, "We're not on anything, Soda, but if you need medicine to get over her, the only antidote is realizing how much of a hoe she was and how much she hurt you. After that, you'll hate her and be as good as new!"

All of the guys started cracking up and Soda stuck his tongue out at me. I did the same thing back and Pony interrupted. "You two fight just like brother and sister."

"Actually, more like brother and sister in-laws." Soda corrected and smirked, causing my face to instantly heat up.

"That was a good one!" Steve laughed and they gave each other high fives. I smirked. "Soda, I know you're antidote!"

He furrowed his eyebrows. "What is it?"

"Just date Steve since y'all both love each other anyway." I crossed my arms and both of their mouths dropped. "Oh no you didn't." They yelled at the same time.

Pony glanced at me. "You better make a run for it!"

I sprinted off the porch and heard Soda and Steve trailing behind me, while all of the other guys snickered. I didn't see them anywhere, so I stopped to catch my breath. Next thing you know, a pair of arms are wrapped around me while another was tickling me. "S-s-stop I c-can't breathe!" I was laughing in between words and they finally let me go.

Steve looked at Soda and glared at me, "Let's go back to the house, Pepsi-Cola." Soda nodded and followed him, "Yeah, let's go, boyfriend."

I started giggling and jumped on top of Soda's back and they carried me the whole way back to Gramp's house.
