One Last Thing to Love? (Dallas Winston x Reader)

Chapter 1

We steped out of the theter. We just saw the new Paul Newman movie. Me and Pony like to walk home together after school, and on weekeneds we will sometimes go to the theater. He don't like goin' with people too much, they bug him and he can't focus into the movie. But me, I'm in my own world, so he don't mind me. Over the years I know I've goten dumber and weaker. The scar, from the bottom of my right cheek to my neck stayed. I think it look pretty sick now. I'm still quiet. Dally's in the cooler right now, but when isn't he? 

When we stepped into the light I reaised we still needed a ride, it was soc hours. Thats what I call it. Sun just barely settin', the soc start lerking for a fight. Ponyboy was looking at his refection. "Come on." I said. "Inno want to get cought by a soc." I said rushing him. "I wish I looked like Paul Newman, hes just so, tough!" He said excited. I chukled lightly. "Ponyboy, I think you're tough." I said quietly. 

We started walkin' my thoughts were on next week. Mike's anniversary. It still hurts, I still can't stand the rain, 'cause my new parents died in the rain. 

8 MONTH AGO

"Me and dad are going on a trip for some um, alone time." Mom kissed us all good bye. We smiled. "Where are you going it's raining?" Darry asked. He had grown to look exactly like dad. And Sodapop growed to look even more like a movie star. "Were going far up north." mom said, then she looked at me. 

She was going to the town I was from. I heared them talking about it. "Have fun." I said queitly. I started to wonder if it got any better down there. How Jessie was doing. I began to fiddle with my ring. "When will you guys be back?" Ponyboy asked. "Tomorrow." Mom smiled. Dad honked the horn. She grabbed her stuff and ran to the car. "Bye guys love you!" She smiled and left. 

The next day, it was still raining. When I woke up the gang was all here. "Morning." Everyone said, as I was the last to emerge from my room. I nodded to everyone. We all hung out waiting for mom and dad to get back. Everyone liked them. 

There was a nock on the door. Darry got up to awnser it. A police officer was at the door, he was drenched, makes since sinec it was pouring. "Dally better hide." Two-bit cracked a joke. Darry talked to the officer. "Hey curtis faimly come out here." Darry said. Sodapop stood up and walked to the door. Ponyboy stood up, he looked at me waitng. I hesitantly stood up and walked to the door. The cop looked at me weird. They began to explain. "You guys are the kids of (Idk their names) Curtis, correct?" The oficicer asked. They all nodded. "There is no easy way to put this." He hesitated, he took his hate off and put his head down. It was like the officer who told my brother out parets past. I got tense and it was hard to breath. "Your parents passed away, in an audo wreck." He said quietly. Ponyboy started crying in an instant, Soda slowly droped a few tears. Darry was pale, but was stone faced. "Okay." Darry said. 

I didn't feel it was my place to cry. I wasn't blood to them. I only knew them for so long of my life. I slowly went back inside cold and wet. I felt sick. I felt howI felt whem my mom, my dad died. "What happened?" two-bit asked. I slowly walked to my room. It did't feel right for me to say anything. 

My second parents gone. Can I even say that? I sat on my bed, the sound of rain got louder. I needed to scream anything. I sat at the edge of my bed. I heared cries in the living room. I didn't know what to do. 

BACK TO PRESENT TIME

I was so in my mind I didn't realize we were getting trailed by soc till Pony said something. He tugged on my shirt and nodded behind us. "Look." I saw a red corvair. "Hey we should speed up." He said. I nodded. I'm still fast, I can still beat Pony in a race. I just have terrible stamina. 

I heared the car stop and the door shut. "Hey Grease!" Someon yelled. One hand their hands on me and Ponyboy's shoulders. "Shit." I whispered. I turned around slowly. My eyes wided. I all of a sudden couldn't hear anything again. And I was froze. 3 corndered Ponyboy. Leaving another 2 with me. I know these guys. From that night. I put my hand to my scar. "Hey do we know you?" One asked. The other smirked. "Stop waisting time." The other smirked. 

They walked close to me till my back hit a wall. Ponyboy started calling for everyone. My heart dropped. I did everything to get to him. The boys started jummping me. I fell to the ground when they stopped, but one of them kicked my head on the way out. My head was pounding, and ringing. I heared voices but couldn't distinguish who's voice they were. 

I sat up on the wall and everythong was still fuzzy. I tilted my head in. I sat there a minute till someone was infront of me. "Y/n." Someone said I put my head down. "Soda?" I asked. He nooded. "Is Ponyboy alright?" I asked. "Are you?" He asked back. I looked over his shoulder and Darry was helpping Pony up. "You alright Y/n?" He asked. "Yeah." I said standing up. Sodapop stopped caring so much about me, he stopped asking if I was okay on rainy days.

 I saw Pony was bleeding. We all started walking back. Johnny walked by me. "Where we're you two doin' walkin' by your lonesomes?" Steve asked. "I didn't think-" Ponyboy started. "Do y'all ever think? I mean Ponyboy you gotta think a little with thoes grade. But Y/n you don't even get those. I mean y'all get any commen sence? No sirree nope. If you guys had to go by yourselves you should have brought a balde." Darry said. "Hey leave my kid siblings alone, if one of 'em brought a blade that'd be even more of a reason to cut them to ribbons." Soda argued. I tried to block it out as we arpoched the house. They ketp arguing so I sped infront of everyone. 

I looked up and saw Dally. I smiled a little, wait. "Dally I thought you were in the cooler." Two-bit read my mind. "Good behiavior, got out early." Dally smirked. He looked down to me. "How have you been dolly." "Your hair." I simply said. "Yeah they gave it a little trim." He said a bit disapointed. "I like it." I whispered, so techinally my normal voice. "What was that doll?" He asked. "Nothing." I shook my head. "So you break up with Sylivia again?" Two-bit asked. Dallys girlfriend, they've broke up many times before. Same reason everytime- "Yeah and this time it's for good. That little broad was 2-timin' me again while I was in jail." Dally huffed. 

"I hope you didn't miss me too much dolly." Dally turned to me. He in all stopped calling me by my real name. I shrugged. He smirked. "I'm walkin' to the nightly double tomorrow to hunt some action, anyone wanna come?" Dally asked. Everyone gave their reason they can't go. "Me and Johnny'll go, okay Darry?" Ponyboy said. "Yeah since it ain't a school night." Darry replied. "Dolly you're coming." Dally said for me. He knew if I didn't say anything I wouldn't go, and he also knows I have no plans, and I don't mind goin' anywhere as long as it ain't raining. 

Everyone talked a bit longer then everyone went their seprate ways. I turned to go inside but Dally called me. "Doll!" I turned around. "Yeah?" I asked. He walked twords me grinning. "I missed your soft voice. And your face and.." He mummbled the last part then cut himself off looking me up and down. "You wanna hang out before the movies tomorrow?" He asked. "How early?" "you know maybe 12 or so sound good?" He asked. I nodded. "I'll stop by then." 

He hesitatded, but kissed my head and walked away, leaving me dumbfounded. I stood there for a minute, wacthing him walk away. I stubled into the house. Trying to figure out what just happened. I walked in and Ponyboy was gring while his cuts were getting fixed up by Darry, and Soda was also grinning. 

"Thats my job." I said to Darry, a bit upset. "Sorry, you were busy getting kissed on by Dally." He said. I couldn't see his face but Soda and Pony were still grining, now, trying not to laugh. "How did you guys?" I started. "We heared Dally call your name, so we watched through the window." Sodapop laughed. 

I would have tried to defend myself, but I couldn't so I just walked away as they "oooed". Could Sodapop be anymore immature? I got ready for bed, I squrimed at the thought of what Dally did. I started at my ceiling not knowing what to excpect tomorrow.
