Chapter 3: Getting to know them

I woke up and looked at the clock on the wall, 10:00. I groaned and Dally stuck his head in the door, "morning sleeping beauty,"
"Right back at you blondie," I knew he had just gotten up because he's Dally and two, his eyes were red. "Here, it's mine, we aren't exactly the same size but it's clean."
"Thanks,"
"Now, when you get your new shirt on, meet me in the living room, I wanna ask you about something."
"Okay… sure and what do you mean by my new shirt?"
"Well, you need more than one shirt."
"So, you're saying this is mine now?"
"Yeah,"
"The same shirt you were wearing when you dragged Ponyboy and Johnny out of the church?" "Yeah, how did you know that?" "The burn mark on the sleeve."
"Oh I forgot about that."
"So I see, now get out so I can change."
"Yes mam," he left. I put on the shirt, I wasn't as tall as Dally, but I felt as cold as him for a split second. I walked into the living room.
"Johnny gone?"
"Yeah, left even before I got up."
"Okay, so what did you want to talk to me about?"
" Let me ask you this, are you scared of any of us?"
"I mean you and Darry. Steve doesn't scare me because he couldn't really hurt a girl. You, yes you could. Two-bit is too lazy to scare anyone and Johnny and Pony, well, they're too sweet to scare anyone."
"Huh, well why does Darry scare you?"
" One he's so much stronger than me, 2 taller than me, and 3 his demeanor just gives off, I will kill you in 5 seconds if you hurt any of us."
"Fair point"
"Well let's go"
"Where exactly?"
"I don't know, maybe somewhere to eat, I'm starving."
"Yeah alright"
" Are you mad or just acting tough?"
"Can't I do both?"
"Nope, one or neither."
"Fine man," he just gave a smile though. Although I didn't like his laugh, I liked his smile. It's cute for someone that is supposed to hate the world. Honestly I think he did it just so people wouldn't know how broken he is. We went to the dingo and Dally had his arm around my shoulder like I was his girl or something. It was funny. Dally handed me the ring he only gave to his girlfriend. "Dally, what are you doing?"
"Keeping you from being flirted with by some other greaser. You know how they are."
"Yeah, but you have only known me for a day now and you are protecting me? This is weird Dallas Winston."
"I'm just protecting you because for some reason I feel like I have known you all my life, like you're my twin or something." Wow that was quite a speech for Dally aka Mr. I hate the world. It was weird. "Okay… but remember what happened yesterday? I can take care of myself, but thanks for showing a new side. I like it" he just laughed and we left the dingo, he disappeared for a while and was at the Curtis’s when I was heading over there. I prayed that Darry wouldn't be there, because I don't think he really likes me but that is probably because I am new and he doesn't trust me or know me yet, so it's fair. I knew Ponyboy wouldn't be there because he said yesterday that it was a school night. "Hey Dally, what day is today?"
"Friday,"
"okay." So that meant I had the weekend to get the rest of the gang to trust me. I know that Dal trusted me, he proved and told me that, Ponyboy said I was like Dally yesterday in proving that he trusted me. Maybe Johnny too. But then again Johnny is scared of everyone, so I'm not sure, but the rest of the gang, I wasn't so sure. We reached the steps and I said, "Do you think the boys like me?"
"Yeah, but the thing with Darry is he is just looking out for his brothers."
"Yeah, you're right." We opened the door and Steve, Soda, and Darry were there. shoot.
"Hey Steve,"
"hey, look who's back"
"hey Soda,"
"Hey Addyson, how did you sleep?”
"Good," Darry just looked at me. "Hey Darry,"
"hello," well he said something. I turned to Steve and Soda, "shouldn't you be at work?"
"I'm not going to work till I can work on cars."
"Fair enough," Dally responded. "Do you mind if I ask why?” I asked.
"This weird customer said that I broke his car by damaging the bumper. When it was already broken."
"And the boss man believed the customer and not you? Wow, that's messed up." He sighed, "I know, I mean I love anything cars." I knew that I just said, "huh," well I knew that Steve trusted me. "So what about you Soda? Are you going to do the same thing?" "Yeah." I smiled, "you're a good friend,"
"aww thanks," I turned to Darry, "What about you?"
" Wasn't needed," alright, if he was going to play tough I could too. "Good for you" he smiled, "did you just-"
"yeah I did,"
"wha-"
"I can trust you. Dally gave you one of his shirts, and the same one that saved Johnny at that, so I think I can trust you."
"Good to know." Well that answered my question. The door opened, it was Ponyboy and Two-bit. I turned, "hey guys," "Hey Addyson!" Two-bit said. "Wait, is that Dally shirt?" Ponyboy asked. "Yeah, don't bother me about it." "Well now I know I can really trust you."
"Yeah," Johnny walked in then. "Hey guys,"
"Hey Johnny," the gang replied, Johnny looked at me, "hi Addyson, wait..."
"Yes, before you finish, yes this is Dal's shirt and yes I know that Dally doesn't let anyone use his shirts. I've been told," I looked at Darry then back to Johnny. I saw Johnny had a new bruise. "What's the bruise from? Socs or your parents?"
"parents,"
"Oh man, Johnny, you don't deserve to have parents like that." He sighed, "I know but if I run away I will lose the guys and maybe you, and if I don't I-" Johnny started sobbing. I pulled him into a hug, "it's alright kid, I won't let them hurt you. If they hurt you, I will hurt them." He still cried and I held him. Then the gang just hugged me around as in one big hug for Johnny, I suddenly realized how much the gang needed Johnny and how much Johnny needed the gang.
