Just a little disclaimer: I don't own The Outsiders. All original characters rightfully and respectfully belong to S.E. Hinton. I take no credit for the original story, only the backgrounds of characters I've created to fit the story.

Also, as a forewarning, there will be sensitive topics discussed in this story, such as mental/psychological issues, governmental issues, and will include content that may be sensitive to some people. This is just to let you know that these things will be present here, but I will also put at the beginning of each chapter a Trigger Warning if the chapter includes triggering topics.
