<Dally's POV>
I wake up to the not so manly shrills of the gang. Opening my eyes, I realize Skyler and I are still on the couch. Did I forget to mention that Skyler is naked except for her underwear and I am in only jeans? Before they can see Skyler's naked body I flip her under me. I try my best not to crush her frail frame with my large body.
"Oh my god, have some decency Dal!" Ponyboy yells covering his eyes. Skyler wakes up and is madly confused as to why I am laying on top of her until she sees the gang of guys minus Soda and Steve staring at us.
"Dallas grab a shirt!" She screams in my ear. I grab the first piece of clothing I can find which happens to be my t-shirt. I slip it over her head and she sits up. The guys burst out laughing until Skyler glares at them.
"Since when were you guys here?" I ask.
"Got here this morning," Two-Bit says. I look in the kitchen and see Chris making breakfast with Soda. Skyler and I push past the gang and over to the kitchen. I look down to the floor to see a still sleeping Steve with a broken beer bottle next to him.
"You didn't want to pick him up?" I ask Chris and Soda.
"He ain't hurtin nobody," Soda says shrugging. Just then Skyler shrieks next to me.
"Son of a bitch!" She screams. Hopping on one foot she holds up one leg. Skyler's foot has a piece of glass stuck in it. Once it starts to bleed I pick her up bridal style into the bathroom to patch it up. After we're done we walk back to the kitchen where everyone is eating breakfast that Chris and Soda made. we join them and then I realize Skyler still doesn't have pants on.
"Umm, Skyler Elizabeth, you wanna put some pants on?"
"Nah," she says. I sit down then Skyler sit on my lap. She makes a big plate and begins to eat. When she's done she feeds me the scraps of food that she didn't eat.
"Ew that's gross," Darry says. I shrug my shoulders with my mouth full of the toast crust Sky didn't want. Soda laughs as Skyler continues to shove her scraps in my mouth.
"How come you don't show affection like that?" Soda asks Chris.
<Skyler's POV>
Chris opens her mouth extremely wide and the gang sounds off with the round of, "Ohhhhhs."
"You want affection?" Chris asks.
"Well ya," Sods says smirking.
"Try this for affection!" Christina shouts pouncing on Soda so they fall out of their chairs onto the kitchen floor. Chris kisses Soda passionately and Dally groans so loudly that I burst out laughing. He pushes me off his lap the walks to the couch as the rest of us continue to laugh at Soda and Chris. Only now does Steve rise from the floor like a zombie. Unfortunately once he sees Chris and Soda making out on the floor he passes out again. This just results in another wave of laughter. Eventually the laughter dies down so I go and flip over the couch so I'm sitting in Dally's lap. He grunts with the force hitting him.
"Warning next time sweetheart," Dallas says, trying to catch his breath. I make up for it by kissing him softly, but long, extending the kiss, hoping these moments will never end. "I love you Skyler Elizabeth," Dally tells me, breaking away from the kiss. I'm not ready to say it back even though I know I love him. I try not to overreact, but I can't help it. For some reason my mind is so sensitive to these types of situations. I wish it wasn't, because Dally saying I love you really isn't a big deal, he's pretty much said it before this, yet I still overreact.
My breathing pace starts to increase. Digging my nails into my thigh I cringe. Then I begin to walk into the kitchen. "Skyler Elizabeth?" Dally asks confused. Moments later I collapse next to the pile of glass from Steve's beer bottle because I am shaking so much.
Dally comes running to the kitchen next to me. "Dallas, tell me something sweet," I demand softly, my nails still acting as daggers in my leg. I swear there's this part of my brain that has a voice and all it wants me to do right now is take a blade to my leg.
"What, why?" Dally asks still confused.
"Just do it!" I demand with tears falling slowly. I know an episode is coming on. Dally stares at me confused, and I scream. The gang stands up worried, even Steve.
"Okay okay! Um, Skyler Elizabeth, I love you and-"
"No! Not I love you, say something else!" I demand. I scratch my leg, digging deep with my fingernails.
"Okay um, Skyler you um, I don't know!" Dallas yells in frustration. Attempting to stop the episode so the gang doesn't have to see me cut myself, I bang my head on the floor over and over. "Skyler!" Dally yells, "is this an episode?" I nod my head, but soon I scream again, this time the rest of the gang gathers around me in a circle. I grab a handful of the glass shards from the broken bottle in my hand and squeeze. The shards cut deeply into my hand. Dark blood falls in streams down my arm from my hand. Dallas knocks the glass out of my hand. Christina sits close to me and holds my hand that isn't blood coated. I squeeze my eyes shut and scream again.
"Skyler, shhh, you don't deserve a sad life, that's why we're here, because to us your perfect whether you like it or not. Dally loves you, I love you, all of us love you, and now your part of our family, that's why you need to stop screaming," Chris says. I take a deep breath then open my eyes. Eight pairs of eyes stare at me. Closing my eyes again I speak in a hushed tone.
"I'm sorry," is all I say. The next thing I know Dally scoops me up in his arms, and I don't object, now that my head is pounding. Dallas sets me down on a soft bed, and sits at the side of it. Darry walks in with the first aid kit to wrap my hand and leg seeing as both are bleeding. Then Ponyboy comes in with some food, then Johnny with water. After they all leave I hear the sound I never thought would come from Dallas Winston. Looking at his face, I see he is crying. "Oh no, I hurt you didn't I?" I ask nervously, my breath picking up speed. His heads whips up immediately.
"Oh god no Skyler Elizabeth, never," Dally says with the tears streaming down his face.
"Then why are you crying?"
"Because I'm so stupid, when you needed me to help you I was a fool and didn't do anything, what if Chris wasn't there, would you of done worse?" Dally asks me.
"It doesn't matter Dallas okay?" I say grabbing his hand and putting it to my face. After a while he climbs in the bed with me and we just fumble with each other's fingers for what has to be a hour.
"Why is it so bad for you?"
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Like I always thought when people self harm they just did it, but you were screaming like someone was stabbing you," Dally explains.
"I don't know, maybe that's normal or maybe not, I don't know, that's just what's always happened when I have an episode," I inform Dally.
<Chris's POV>
After Skyler's episode, we're all a lot more quiet then we were before. Never in our lives had we seen something as heart breaking as that. I'm in the kitchen while everyone else is sitting on the couch watching Mickey with the volume turned down so low it's almost muted.
I walk over to the couch and lay across Steve and Soda. Soda has my head in his lap, and Steve has my legs. No one really wants to talk so instead we watch the tv quietly. Soda plays with my hair as I play with the fabric of his ripped jeans.
"Promise me you'll never do something like that," Soda requests.
"I promise."
