Picture of Dylan on the side

Hello Tulsa!

I walk down the cold streets bundled in my surfer girl baby sweatshirt and dark blue jeans. I look around until a blue convertible pulls up next to me. I don't think they would recognize me now, I've changed a lot over the year. I now have platinum blond hair that falls right before my butt in beach waves, I wear fake contacts making my eyes a pretty green-blue color, I haven't grown but, I've lost about twenty pounds, I went from 140ish to 120ish, I now wear no make-up minus a hint of light pink tinted chap-stick, and lastly I am much tanner. 

Two socs, I could never forget walk out of the car, Bob and Randy. "Do you two need anything?" I ask them confidently, now that I am confident.

"Well, we've never seen you 'round here before," Bob says as he looks me up and down. "You're a pretty one."

"Why thank you," I smile even though I hate these Socs.

"We were thinking that maybe, you'd want to come see Tulsa with us," Randy offers.

"No thank you, I have to stop at my new apartment," I say sweetly. "Maybe another time."

Randy grabs my wrist hardly as he says his voice laced with anger making me release he's drunk, "nobody says no to us."

"Well I do," I yell as I slap him across the face and make a break for it with them shouting in the background.

I finally make it to my new apartment and smile as I push through the doors. I wonder who my neighbors are. I sit in the apartment just reading a book until I hear a knock, I groan considering my  contacts are out, my hair is in a messy bun, I'm in sweats and a t-shirt, but despite all that I answer the door to see two people I wished I'd never see again. 

My eyes meet Lexi's and she gasps. I look down at her stomach to release she's pregnant, I then look over to Dally who's face is no longer hard, but soft and gentle. "What do you want?" I say hastily.

"Oh my god! Dylan, you're so pretty," Lexi marvels as she goes out to touch my face.

I back up and now yell, "I asked you what do you want!"

"We wanted to meet our new neighbor," Dally says as he pushes Lexi behind him.

I roll my eyes as I slam the door shut and continue reading my book. Even though my attempt of getting them away, I have failed. All I hear is Lexi yell as she pounds on my door, I don't even have to look at her to see the tears rolling down her cheeks. "Dylan! Please come out. I miss you! I miss my little sister. What happened to you? To us? Is this all over a guy? Please, just talk to me. I love you Dylan and I know no matter what you say or do that you love me too! So why? Why is it so hard for you to forgive me? To forgive Soda? To let somebody in? Why are you shutting me out? Mom out? Dad out? The gang out? I haven't! I don't want to because, all it brings is sadness and hurt! Do you like being upset? God Dylan, just answer me! God fucking dammit Dylan! Don't you see that I've lost everything too?"

This is when I loose it, I open the door to see Lexi standing there crying in Dally's arms. "You lost everything? You did!"

"Yes, Dylan, she did," Dally says coldly.

"Stay out of this Dally!" I yell at him then turn back to Lexi. "Lexi, I sympathize with you, but you've got everything back.  You're gonna have a baby, you have a boyfriend, you have parents, the gang. Lexi you have so much of the stuff, I lost and I lost you. I wish I didn't, but with Kendall's death we knew it would happen. She was the glue that kept us together. I sorry Lexi, I love you. I love Soda and Dally and mom and your baby and Steve and Darry and the whole gang, but I can't go back. Please Lexi, please understand."

"I'm sorry, but I don't. I don't understand why you're hurting yourself and I never will," she cries before grabbing Dally's hand. "Let's go."

"I love you Lexi," I whisper to myself as tears stream down my face. She turns around to get a good look at me and waves slightly as she walks away. I slam my door shut and collapse on the floor sobbing. Why did I just do that?

I pull out the picture of Kendall, Alex, and I the year Ken passed. We're all smiling, minus Kendall who's laughing, she was always laughing. We all have our hands pointed into guns and at the bottom it reads, 'triple threat' I miss my sister. I miss my life.
