Three days later
--------------------------------------------------------------

Everything has been eventful. Darry makes the best pancakes and bacon. I swear he should be a chef. Ponyboy reads to me every night because I cant sleep. Twobit and I watch mickey mouse together on the daily. Sodapop and Steve bring me snacks from the DX. Johnny is teaching me to play cards better. Dally, well... he's been around a lot lately. He is always by my side and makes sure I am okay. The guys say he has changed and I mean yeah he kinda has, but not because of me. My dad keeps calling the house and making threats. Im scared things will get out of hand fast. I've been working at bucks with Dallas so I can hurry and get my dead beat father his money. He says my mother is with him and that if I dont see him soon, he will find me and kill my mom. This might sound bad, but honestly I don't care what you do with her. She was never there for me. I mean I love her but damn...

I closed my journal and looked out the window. Its almost summer and I heard it gets really hot here. The boys were talking about going to the pool sometime in the next week or two. I just hope things with my "father" die down.

"MAY DAL IS HERE" yelled Johnny.

I quickly put on my blue jeans and belt. I had on a black cropped tank top, and brown flannel. I decided to wear my white Converse and a grey beanie.

I walked down the stairs to see dally leaning against the door way. He looked good today, I mean he wears the same jacket but its nice on him. Today I had to work at bucks for a couple of hours, so Dallas was taking me.

We got in the car and the engine roared. See im not like typical girls. I studied cars and love them. Once I'm done working for buck, I might go work with soda and Steve at the DX. The ride to the bar was boring as any other day way. We passed my snobby soc's, broken down houses. The car came to a stop and we were at bucks.

"Hey be careful today. I will be at the Curtis house if you need anything. Call me when you are done, or take the spare car." Dallas kissed my forehead and drove off. He started being really protective of me since my dad showed up. He drives me everywhere and is always with me.

I walk in the bar and nothing is out of place. Buck is serving drinks and others are smoking. I go place my bag upstairs and walk back down to start serving drinks. Yes, im underage but buck doesn't care, he even let's me drink on the job if I want. We both serve drinks for awhile and then the phone rings. I jump and buck noticed. He answered the phone.

"Its alright Liz, it was a friend of mine. I need to go take care of something." He said

"Do you think you could look afte rather place for about an hour? I shouldn't be longer than that."
