Dally's Little Sister

Missing him

*dani POV*
It's been a month since dally left according to the gang, but it feels like it's been years. I don't go outside anymore and I tend to stay in Soda's room. They bring me food when it's dinner time and then leave. They know how hard this is for me and it seems like they understand.

Soda is getting off work soon and I think I actually want to go down stairs, to go outside. I miss it. I don't think I actually miss outside I think I miss the memories I have of Dally that lay out there in a place I don't dare to go anymore. I know it's time for me to get out of this room and live my life now. Dally would hate if he saw me like this.

I got up and walked over to my closet, put on some fresh clothes and shoes, walked outside, and sat down.

About 10 minutes later Darry's truck pulled up and when he got out I ran up to him and hugged him. He hugged me back, shocked that I was outside.

"Hey kiddo. You feeling better?" Asked Darry still hugging me.

"Yeah. Yeah I am. A lot better." I said smiling at him. After a few more minutes I let go and saw soda standing there. I smiled and ran up to him and jumped in his eyes. He was crying.

"Soda baby why are you crying? What's wrong?" I asked worried.

"Baby I don't want to ruin this happy moment of you being outside, but we need to talk.." Soda said nervously.

"Umm okay sure baby." I said scared. Soda grabbed my hand and we began walking to park. I was looking all around, I forgot how beautiful it was outside. To hear the birds chirping and the kids playing. We sat down on a bench near by and soda looked into my eyes. He was frowning.

"Baby something happened while you were in the room for the month. Nobody could bare to tell you because of how hurt you were. We wanted to give you time to heal", soda looked down at his hands. I saw tears falling from his face. "Baby something happened to two bit."

I was crying "what??..."

"Dani baby. Two bit saw your mom in town and tried to knock her out, but someone... someone shot him.."

"What?!??!? No no no. My moms dead. This didn't happen. You're lying." I was shaking and crying in sodas arms.

"I'm sorry dani. I'm not lying. Just breathe okay? He is in the hospital and they said he might make it out. He has a 15% chance of surviving the surgery. Two bit is strong baby, he's gonna pull through okay?" He said trying to make me feel better.

"I guess baby." I said turning and looking at the little kids playing. I think soda could guess what I was thinking because he grabbed my hand and leaned into my ear and whispered," one day baby. One day soon. I promise." He kissed my cheek

I smiled and continued to look at the kids. I can't wait until we have a little one running around.

Maybe it will be sooner than soda thinks....
