The new girl in the gang

Meeting the new girl Chapter 4

Peps POV

Me and Dallas talk, that's a lie he does most the talking while I listen. I haven't met his gang yet but I still feel like Ive know them for years, "got the cake, I tell yeah they always have it." I smile and take a slice, I don't tell him I haven't had cake for years. "This is realy good." I say my mouth full of chocolate cake "what did you tell them, when they asked about me?" He sighs and says "nothing, I just walked in got the cake and left." "I can't help but ask are you embarrassed of me?" I ask.

"No I just don't want them to think I've gone soft, and it will be funny to see what they will do when I don't tell them." He says his mouth full.

I must look counfused because he then says "they might start to follow you see if they can find any thing out about you." He says I laugh, it might be fun, I look at him serious all the sudden "you haven't told me why you left." I say.

Dally POV

I walk in later than normal, because I couldn't bring myself to go home. When I open the door, dad slaps me and I fall down I look around and see mom yelling at Pep. Pep she wearing just a bra and quickly covers herself up and runs for the bathroom, I know what this means dad got tired and...

I can't help myself I stand up not thinking and get slapped down again this time harder, then I see my mom crying, I look at my dad fire raging in my eyes, I couldn't believe he would do that again to a 10 year old, she's just a little kid and he did it.

That's when I decide I need to help us all and end his life, I've never taken a life but I'm ready to.

(Flash back ends)

Dally's POV

I look my sister in the eyes and say "I got wrapped up in a murder in New York, I needed to leave but couldn't bring you." I say "I'm sorry." I add, I feel so stupid now for not bringing her. I should have made sure I killed him not mom who always said we might leave one day, "it's fine, leaving there made me tuff." She says I smile "tuff." I say, it used to be her favorite word when she was a kid.

The next morning after I night of the chair I have at Bucks, I gave Pep the bed. I get up and see she's still asleep, I go shower and come out ready to go when she sits up panting and sweating. I look worried and she must have saw "I'm fine just a nightmare." She says then hurry's to the bathroom and shower. After we are both ready, we leave heading toward McDonald's for breakfast.

We get there and take a both next to a big window, just as we are about to finish eating I notice Soda and Steve looking in her truck and then at the window. They see us straight away, I nudge Pep and whisper look at the truck. She laughs, "what do you do for a living?" She asks "I'm a cowboy, I even got my own hat." She looks at me in disbelief "the big, the scary, Dally Winston, a cowboy?" I nod and she cracks up.

Later that night we go to Bucks, she lays on the chair before I can get in. Man she is stubborn, "I'm going to have a drink for awhile, please move to the bed." I say and head out the door.

I was down stairs only had one drink when the window lit the room with red and blue, people were running all over trying to find a place to hide or a way out. I sit there until Jerry comes in I hide my drink completely, "hey Dally you been drinking?" He says "no just waiting for a friend I'm his ride home." I say as the lie slips out of my mouth right away.

Of course he saw though my lie, I wa son the slammer, when Jerry walked over "I got you down for a week because you weren't the most drunk, you want to make your call?" I get up "yeah" I say he opens the bars and lets me through, I reach the phone when all the sudden I remember Pep.

Pep POV

I was fast asleep as soon as Dally walked out the door, when I woke to a knock on the door being really tired I opened it thinking it was Dallas and he left his key at home. "Forget your key." I say and unlock the door and open it, "no just coming to pick you up." Says one of Dally's friends, Soda was his name I think. My eyes winding and a slam the door shut and lock it, last time me and him were this close I ended up being kidnapped. "You have the wrong room, GO AWAY." I say getting mad and hiding it with anger "Dally didn't tell you?" He says sounding shocked "tell me what?" The cops came and busted all the young people, in clouding him." He pauses "he s in the slammer for a week."
