Who We Are(The Outsiders Fanfiction)

21|"...These Two Crazy Hood Rats..."

<Dally's POV>

We wake up to a loud shrill. "Oh my god!" Christina shouts staring at a naked Skyler and me. "Have some decency, my room is right across the hall!" She shouts storming across the room. I burst out in laughter, but Skyler just punches my arm and rolls her eyes. She runs out of bed and grabs my shirt and gets dressed. Then she proceeds to run into the hallway, shouting apologies to Christina.

Oh wait, I just remembered, my little sister is getting married today. I sigh then get out of bed and get dressed in comfy clothes. When I walk into the kitchen Christina is making breakfast for us.

"So what dress did you end up picking Chris?" Skyler asks. Chris smirks.

"You'll see when you help me get ready," Chris explains. Skyler sighs then turns to me. Her eyes widen then she places her head in her hands.

"I'm sorry," she mumbles sadly.

"What?" Why would she be sorry? She hasn't done anything wrong.

"Your face!" Skyler yells even more upset.

"What about my beautiful face?"

"Your nose, I bruised it," she explains. Cautiously, I touch my nose and flinch in pain. It hurts really bad.

"Boy sweetie, you pack quite a punch," I say smiling and rubbing her shoulders to make her feel better. To my delight my beautiful baby sister breaks the silence.

"Alright guys, pancakes are ready!" She shouts happily. I don't think I've ever seen her this happy. She's obviously happy because she's getting married, but it never crossed my mind that she really does love Soda a lot. It's kind of awkward to see her fall for one of my personal friends, but for her happiness I'd sacrifice my life. Before we even eat the pancakes Skyler groans.

"What?" I ask annoyed.

"My stomach," she complains.

"Again?" I ask in a rude voice. She glares at me.

"Never mind, I'm fine," Skyler says, covering up her previous complaint. Chris sits awkwardly, her huge smile fading. My heart breaks. My annoying replies made her unhappy. I attempt to lighten the mood.

"So Chris, you and Soda are finally getting married," I say with a tiny smile that can't even compare to the one that stretches across her face at the mention of Soda's name.

"I know! It's great!" Christina shouts giddily. "I just wish he could stay longer after the marriage," Chris says her face becoming a little more dull.

"It's okay, he and Steve will be fine," I assure her. Skyler nods her head at Chris in reassurance.

An hour after we eat breakfast Chris and Skyler decide to get ready.

<Skyler's POV>

Christina and I practically sprint to her room to start getting ready. Her room has plain white walls with a few black and white photos of her, Steve, Soda, and the rest of the gang. Her bed is decorated with black sheets and pillows with a few red throw pillows. Her nightstand has a pack of cigarettes and a lamp on it. In the corner of her room is a small black vanity with a large mirror. We walk to the vanity and she breaks out an old bag of makeup. "I've never put makeup on before cause I was always hanging with the gang so I never needed to, can you help me?" Chris asks. I've always worn makeup to cover myself up. It made me more confident. I nod my head in response and Chris's face lights up.

Before I start her makeup I do her hair. I pull her hair into a low and loose bun at the nape of her neck, making sure to leave out a few of her short layers to frame her face. It's a perfectly simple hairstyle for a perfectly simple wedding. After this I start on her makeup. Once I've finished she has brown eyeliner on her lower and upper water lines and simple mascara and pink lip gloss. When she looks in the mirror she smiles and thanks me.
