Love at First Light

22.

Dallas POV:

A nurse walked out of Jade's room 10 minutes later with disappointment displayed on her face.

"Jade Sheldon's family?"

"That's us."

"Her time of death was 1:55am. We'll give you some time before we come back and ask about funeral homes, cemetery's, and etc."

I looked around to see everyone's face with sadness and shock.

"This is all your fault, Winston! If you would have just stayed in the courtroom instead of leaving and acting out, she'd be alive!" Two-bit was furious.

"You think I don't know that, Keith? You think I don't know that my immaturity got her killed? You think I don't know that it should have been me that the bullet hit? Of course I do and now me, Kasha, and my baby will have to suffer everyday because of me!"

Kasha had tears streaming down my face as she sat in Darry's lap. "You two idiots are scaring the kid! Shut up and let's leave."

We all walk out the door, dull expressions on all of our faces. 2 mustangs pulled up full of soc's. I gave Bree to Jonny and Kasha ran behind Pony and the rest of us stepped up to them.

"Hey hey, we dont want any trouble. Not yet anyway. We wanna rumble tonight at midnight."

"What for?"

"For Bob, of course. Unless you greaser filth are too scared?"

"We'll be there, asshole."

They gave a cocky smirk before piling back in there cars and speeding off. We continued our walk on to the Curtis house.

Once we get there, the only sounds you could here were quiet sniffles and Bree's oblivious giggles. If only she had a clue what happened to her momma.

Nurse POV

"You hear about the rumble takin place at midnight?"

"No, what's that about?"

"Apparently Bob Sheldon's dead and the other Soc's want revenge."

"We'll, I ain't fightin. I may be a greaser but I'm not getting in the drama. I have no place in it."

"What do we do with Jade Sheldon's body?"

"We legally can't do anything with it unless her friends come back and tell us. For now, we just leave her layin' there."

My coworker nods as we walk out of the room to attend to other patients.

Pony's POV

We all were goin to the Dingo before tonight's rumble. I was gonna be the one to stay home with Bree and Kasha while everyone else fought. Tim Shepard's gang was gonna help us in the rumble or else we'd be highly outnumbered.

"C'mon, we all need to eat up."

We had went home and rested up before coming here, it's now 7pm and we only hav e5 hours till it's time.

"What do y'all think they did with Jade's body?"

"It's probably still layin there, Pony."

Dallas had gone back to the person he was before he met Jade. Cold and heartless. The only person he's nice to being Bree, Kasha, and Jonny.

He's not getting in any trouble or partying much because of Bree but he's back to his old stealing ways, just not getting caught.

Turns out, Jade signed papers before court saying if anything happened to her and/or Dallas, Darry gets custody of Bree and Kasha. She shoved the paper into Bree's diaper bag along with her birth certificate.

"My bad, man. I didn't know."

"They have to keep her there until her friends or family tells them what to do with the body. And we left too early to tell them. Can we just not talk about Jade until after the Rumble?"

We all nod and go back to eating our food with light conversation. No one felt like messing around today, especially not with 2 kids at the table.

Dally's POV:

We all head back to the Curtis house and got ready. I stripped off my shirt so I was only going to fight in jeans. Everyone else wasn't wearing a shirt or was only wearing a tank top and jeans. Excel Darry, who wore his normal attire.

We were all pumped up and had pent up anger that we were ready to release in this rumble.

We left the house and told Pony to lock the door behind us as he was staying with the kids. We hyped each other up for the fight we were about to have before we made it to the lot. It only took a few minutes for about 25 soc's to show up along with Tim Shepard and his gang.

Darry stepped up to Randy and I did as well causing one of Randy's goons to step up to me.

No one said anything but when we heard rushed footsteps coming towards us, we all looked back to see who it was.

"A rumble ain't actually a rumble without me!"
