Is it just me? (Dally Winston love)

Chapter 13. Not a kid

"Meds, we're here."

I opened my eyes, wow we really were. I probably nodded off for a little bit.

"Okay, you can put me down."

My voice was a little raspy, but it wasn't to bad

"Okay, but I'm gonna help you in."

He put me down, I put my arm around his shoulders and dally put his arm around waist. My right hand was still firmly on my neck, so Dal opened the door

The gang was still there, again that didn't surprise me

They all stood up at the sight of me and dal together, probably also the fact the my hand was covered in blood and on my neck

"Before any of you say anything. No dally DID NOT do this, he.....he saved me."

Not a word just a bunch of pointing and trying to figure out if it was true

Then Steve just had to say something; he always has to say something

"So your telling me the Dallas Winston saved Meadow Randle!?! And he DIDNT hurt you? If it wasn't dally, then who did?!?"

I didn't wanna tell him, I didn't wanna tell any of em what really happened

I looked at dally with pain in my eyes, at this point he's the only one that could understand me

"I think Meds has had a rough night, she can talk about this tomorrow."

I looked at dally once again and smiled he smiled back

"Hey Darry can I stay here for the night?"

"Yeah no problem kiddo, I'll set up my room for ya."

I usual always sleep in Darrys room, it's cuz there's a lock on the door and Darry didn't like it when I sleep in the living room because anyone could walk in

Darry left to go get his room ready and the gang was still there. I could tell that Steve had something on his mind

"Say it."

"What?"

"Steve your my brother I know when you have something on your mind, so just say it."

"I don't think you want me too."

"Yeah I do."

"Fine, I just think that your too young to be walk-in by your lonesome all the time. If your gonna keep gettin beat up I think you need someone with you. Like, like a bodyguard."

Are you kidding me! This is the whole reason I ran out in the first place!

"Are you KIDDING ME!?!??!! THIS IS THE WHOLE REASON I RAN OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!"

"SEE I TOLD YOU, YOU DIDNT WANNA HEAR IT!"

"YEAH I DID WANNA HEAR IT!! BECAUSE NOW I KNOW THAT YOU THINK OF ME ONLY AS YOUR BABYSITTER!!!!! AND NOTHING MORE!!!! IVE BEEN PUSHED AROUND MY WHOLE LIFE!!! AND YOU CANT JUST ADMIT THAT IM NOT A KID!!!!"

The whole house was shaking, I was pretty good at yellin but I wasn't really upset at Steve for only seeing the side he wanted to see

I felt a little woozy, I guess the house wasn't the  only thing that was shaking; it was me to

Darry came running down the stairs

"What the hell is going on down here!?"

"Oh nothing JUST THAT MY BROTHER ONLY SEES ONE FUCKING SIDE!!! AND THATS THE SIDE HE WANTS TO SEE!!!"

"OH BULL SHIT MEDS!! I SEE YOU AS A WHOLE!! IM JUST WORRIED ABOUT YOU! CAN A BIG BROTHER NOT BE WORRIED ABOUT HIS FUCKING SISTER!!!"

"The two of you ENOUGH! Both of your are acting foolish. Pony, Soda go get ready for bed. Two-bit I assume your gonna head for the bar?Johnny your going to the lot right? Steve and dally I'm going to give you a choice you either leave and go your separate ways for tonight, or you can stay; but if you stay you can NOT fight. Am I understood?"

Two-bit left without saying a word, so did Johnny. Pony and Soda went upstairs both were as quite as mice. The only ones that still remained in the living room were Darry, Dally, Steve and me

Darry had his hands on his hips, Steve and Dally were just starring at each other

I went to go say something and I guess Darry could see me out of the corner of his eyes

"Do you even think about it, my rooms all set up, you can go now."

"But Darry is it not my right to be here!?"

"Meadow go to bed, your under my roof and tonight you follow my rules; if you don't wanna be treated like a kid anymore you need to start listing."

I turned and started to walk up the stairs but I just need to say something to dally

"Dally?"

He turned around

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

Then I walked up the stairs and right to Darrys room I shut the door and locked it. I probably should have gone to the hospital tonight but I just didn't feel like it

I laid in that bed just listen to what was going on, now and then I could "well if he" or "Darry you can't just." I couldn't pick out the voices, not because I didn't know them but because I was tired

I was just about to fall asleep when I heard this

"WHY DO YOU HATE ME!! STEVE I LOVE YOYR SISTER I DONT HATE HER!!"

Dally? Well it couldn't be Steve his my brother, and well Darrys like my father; so it must be Dally

Dally loves me? Is it like the way I love him? Or like the way Steve loves me?

I couldn't see Dally loving me like I love him, not because he was incapable but because I always just thought that we you be together in my dreams; only there were we both happy. Only in my dreams did Dally and me end up together

I've loved Dally for so long and on finding out that he could love me to, well it kinda scared me

After thinking about that for a while I fell asleep dreaming about Dally and me under the night sky
