Love at First Light

The song Dicked Down in Dallas is the only thing that gives me motivation to write this anymore LMAOO

Jade's POV

I wake up to a loud banging on my door. I walk out, to the living room and see Kasha opening the door and seeing a police office standing there.

"Hey, kiddo. Do you know where Jade Sheldon is?"

She nods as I walk over to the door. "That's me. Can I help you officer?"

"Ms Sheldon. You're under arrest for the murder of Bob Sheldon. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of law."

I held my hands up before asking, "can I at least call someone to come pick my sister up and wait for them?"

He simply nods. I'm not even going to fight him on this. I have a baby to worry about and I'm not getting tazed. I know exactly who did this shit.

I go over to the landline. Kasha looks up at me with tears in her eyes before sitting back on the couch and eating a bowl of cereal. The officer was standing right beside me as an escape precaution.

"Hello?" I hear Darry's voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hey Darry, it's Jade. I'm about to be locked in the cooler until Bob's trial because they think I did it. An officer showed up at my door step and now I have to leave. Could you or one of the boys please come get Kasha and take care of her while I'm gone. There's a few hundred dollars in my room, inside a slut in my mattress, take as much as you need."

"I'm on my way."

"Me and the officer are gonna stay here until you arrive. I'll see you in a few."

I heard the beeping on the phone meaning he hung up and I went and sat on the couch beside Kasha.

"Kasha, I have to explain some stuff to you."

"Momma, are you gonna have the baby in the cooler?"

"I might. But my dads An asshole so I won't be out until the trial, ok? You're gonna stay with Darry and the gang for a while. I want you to explain this to them. Everything you just heard. I don't know how long I'll be in there but if I have the baby in there then it'll immediately go to Dallas. Keep them all sane for me, baby. And last thing, while I'm there you will go to school. Never, and I mean never ever, let anyone make you feel like you're anything other than perfect."

Tears streamed down her face as she hugged me around the neck. I gently rocked her as we both cried with each other.

"You didn't do it though, momma! This ain't fair!"

"Life isn't fair baby. I'll be back, I promise." I rocked her until I heard her soft snores and I saw Darry talking to the police officer. I got up and carried her over to him.

He took her in his arms gently before giving me a kiss on the cheek and I was cuffed. The officer lead me downstairs and shoved me into the cop car. It was silent the whole time to the jail.

When we got there, he handed me a black and white striped jumpsuit and turned around as I changed. He called a female in there as she made me bend over and check everything to mark sure I didn't have anything with me before assigning me a cell.

The idiot man that I was bunked with was trying to fuck me and everything until I finally told him that I was Dallas Winston's broad and we were steady.

"I could give you more pleasure than he ever could."

"You say that until he's in here with us. Then you wanna shut up. And I'm pregnant with us baby. So I'll pass, bud."

"I could also be a better baby daddy than he ever could."

I grabbed the collar of his jumpsuit and punched him back on the bed. "I may be pregnant, but I'm not weak. Keep speaking like that to me and you will never be able to speak again. Got it?"

He nodded before climbing on the latter and trying to take a nap. I rolled my eyes and sat on the end of my bed, staring off into space and thinking about all of the recent events.

Dallas POV

I walk into the Curtis house and notice the unfamiliar silence. I walk into the kitchen and see all the boys sitting there with their head in their hands.

"How will me explain this to Dallas without him going insane?" Ponyboy said.

"Explain what to me?" I asked before sitting in my signature seat and lighting a weed.

Everyone jumped up, some ran to block the door while pony and Jonny ran upstairs, leaving just me, Sode, and Darry.

"Explain what, Darry?"

"I don't know how to tel you this."

"Spit it out, Curtis."

"Promise you won't be mad and try to run, Dallas."

"Darrel. If you don't tell me right now, you'll be tasting my fist."

"Promise me, Dal!"

"Fine. Now spit it out."

"Jade got arrested. For killing Bob."

I froze. "What?"

"You heard me. Her father made them arrest her at least until the trial."

"I'm gonna kill him."

I ran to the door just to be punched in the face by Steve. "You have to stay calm for her, Dallas."

"Fuck that. She's innocent. She was with either me or Kasha the whole time!"

"It's just until the trial, Dallas." I turned to face Soda before snapping, "but who knows how long it is before the trial! She's holding my baby, SodaPop! I know what it's like in the cooler. She could get beat or raped or not have enough food for the kid! All because of her piece of shit father. So you're gonna let me go hunt the fucker and kill him."

"Kasha is upstairs, Dal. She needs you and so does Jade. So for the sake of everyone, calm down."

I turn and punch Steve in the face, trying to get out the door before feeling a light punch in my neck.

"This is the only way to calm you down, Dal. I'm sorry." Jonny said before all I saw was black. Stupid fucking pressure point.
