Haters to lovers // A Ponyboy Curtis love story

Chapter 1

Abby's P.O.V

I was just waking up to the cool breeze and bright sunlight on me. The cold breeze made me shiver while my dark brown hair was flying in my face.

"Johnny wake up" I whispered while shaking my brother awake.

When he woke up he was startled but I don't blame him because of his past.

"AHH! Get off of me! Who are you?" He asked while opening his eyes.

"Shh. Johnny it's just me. Abby" I said with a calm tone.

"Oh sorry sis." He said while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"Want to go to Curtis'?" I asked while sitting up.

He simply nodded and we headed to Curtis'. When we walked in of course Ponyboy had to be sitting on the couch.

" Hey Johnny. Hi Abby." He said with a bored tone when he said my name.

I just ignored Pony and went into the kitchen and saw Darry making breakfast.

"Morning, Dare." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Morning, Abby." He smiled while putting bacon on a plate.

I sat down at the table and waited for Darry to finish breakfast. Once he placed my plate on the table the whole gang except for Dally ran in.

"Where's Dally?" Johnny asked.

"Probably locked up." I snickered knowing it was probably true. For some reason Pony decided to sit on the right of me while Johnny sat on the left.

"Can we switch spots?" I whispered to Johnny. He nodded but looked confused.
After I finished eating I found some of my clothes I left here and took a quick shower while changing. When I was about to get out I heard the door open.

"Hello?" I asked while poking my head out the curtain.

"Hey doll." Dally smirked

"What are you doing in here! Get out!" I yelled. Dallas snickered and put his hands up in surrender while walking out the door. Once he was gone I stopped the water and stepped out wrapping my hair and body in a warm towel. I quickly dried off and got dressed. After I changed I put on mascara and eyeliner with some clear lip gloss. I took my hair out of the towel and decided to leave my hair naturally straight. Once I walked out the whole gang was sitting in the living room since it was a Saturday, nobody had school or work.

Dallas was on the couch talking to Johnny, Ponyboy was reading a book, Darry was reading the newspaper, Steve and Two-bit were watching Mickey while drinking beer and eating cake, and I, well I decided to sit between Dally and Johnny to see what they were talking about. When I sat down they went silent.

"What?" I asked when everyone looked at me.

"O-oh sorry." Pony stuttered then looked away blushing. Everyone was still looking except for Johnny, Darry, and Pony.

"Damn Abby you look good." Two-bit said to break the silence. I looked down and blushed which made everyone laugh.

"I need to go get air." I said while standing up. I walked outside and took a cancer stick out of my pocket. Once I lit it I stood there spacing out watching the trees in the breeze. I felt tired so I stomped my cigarette butt out and headed inside. I leaned my head on Dally's shoulder and my eyelids felt heavy. I closed my eyes and shortly after fell asleep.

"Get up now!" I heard my dad yell.
I quickly sat up and started to shake. I was terrified.

"S-sorry dad." I stuttered

"Why are you back in this house! You aren't wanted! You screwed mine and your mothers life up!" He yelled at me causing me to flinch.

"Sorry dad, I will leave." I said, trembling.

"Not so fast." He said and as soon as I knew it I felt a pain and tingling in my cheek. He slapped me. Tears started to well in my eyes and he noticed.

"Big girls down cry!" He growled then punched me in the stomach. I doubled over and tears streamed down my face.

"Dad! Please stop!" I yelled but he continued to beat me.

"Dad! Dad, please stop." At this point I was sobbing and a mixture of blood and tears fell down my face.

He hit me one more time before I heard my name being called and I jolted awake.

"Abby are you okay?!" Dally looked at me with pure shock and he was scared.
I noticed I was crying and I didn't say anything I clinged onto Dally and sobbed into his chest. He tensed up at first but then wrapped his arms around me and ran his fingers through my hair.

"Shhh. What happened?" He asked, resting his chin on my head.

"H-h-he beat me." I choked on my tears.

"It's ok, it was just a dream." He said, already knowing who I was talking about. I clinged onto him tighter and he pulled me to his lap. I continued to cry into his chest for who knows how long. Dally picked me up bridal style and carried me to Soda and Pony's room.

"Lay down and try to get some rest." He whispered. I nodded and he went to walk away.

"Wait, Dally, stay with me." I croaked out.

"I'm just going to get you some water. I'll be back doll." He said with a chuckle. I laid down and waited till he came back. After about 3 minutes he came back with the water.

"How ya feelin'?" He asked while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Crappy." I chuckled. Dally laid down next to me and I cuddled next to him. I laid my head on his chest and he began to play with my hair.

"Try to sleep." He kissed the top of my head. I closed my eyes and started to doze off into a dreamless sleep.

"Hey, doll, wake up." I heard Dallas say. My eyes fluttered open and I sat up rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Morning." He said with a grin.

"It's evening. Why'd you wake me up?" I grumped.

"Someone is grumpy." He chuckled. "C'mon dinner is ready." I shook my head and laid back down. Once I closed my eyes I felt myself rise. When I opened my eyes I was in Dallas' arms. I rolled my eyes and burrowed my head into his chest while wrapping my arms around his neck. I was starting to doze off again until I heard the usual commotion going on.
