Kayla's pov
It's been great since Jessica had her child, Steve and I have kept her a few times. I thought it would be nice for Soda and Jess to have a date night every now and then. I still haven't done anything with Steve I guess it's for the best though at least we aren't rushing into things. I just hope things stay the way they are and Johnny gets better. I don't wanna look forward to next week there's a rumble and I don't want Steve fighting in it. I don't want Soda fighting in it either. I actually don't want any of the guys fighting in the rumble, but sadly that can't and will not happen. I don't know why the hospital won't release Dallas I guess it's because of the smoke inhalation in his lungs, but he'll he smokes every day. I think he'd be okay if he could get out of that hell hole. I don't care though I don't love Dallas Winston. I did love him at one time in my life and that was the first time we were together, he was my first everything. I don't love him anymore because of what everything he's done to me.
*one week later, night of rumble*
I drove over to the Curtis house with Jess and the baby. When we arrived the boys were getting ready to go to the rumble. I had agreed to stay here with Jess and the baby. I kissed Steve goodbye as Jess did the same to Soda.
Then we watched as they screamed and hollered down the street. Then we watched Mickey Mouse until we heard them coming back. I knew that they had beat the socs, and I knew that the socs would be mad. A few hours had passed by and we were all talking about the rumble when Ponyboy walked in. Darry spoke first.
"Hey Pony, where you been?"
Silence from Pony, the room was so quiet. It was very uncomfortable just to be in the room.
"What's wrong?"
"Johnny's dead... we told him we won and I don't know he just died.... told me to Stay Gold. Dally couldn't take it, he's gonna blow." I didn't wait for a response I grabbed my keys and headed to the nearest convient store.
I knew that Dallas would go there to rob it or something stupid but the alarm was already going off signaling I was too late. I sped off hoping to catch him I heard sirens in the distance and I saw a bunch of socs in front of me. In the far distance I saw Dallas holding up a gun and he was surrounded my cops. Then he looked my way and dropped the gun. I turned my car around so I could get to him but by the time I got there it was too late. I saw him picking up the gun as I got out of my car.
"You'll never get me alive." Then I heard not one, not two, not three, not even four, but five gun shots go off.
I heard various yells from the gang shouting no it's not loaded. Then calling the cops stupid freaks, I don't blame them all I could do was kneel down beside Dallas. I noticed he was still breathing when I touched his stomach. I took his hand in mine, that's when I heard him say barely audible "I love you-" and that was it.
I saw a note falling from his jacket pocket. I took his ring and his necklace. I guess I need something to remember that idiot by. Then he was hauld off in an ambulance I guess to make sure he's dead. I just can't imagine life without Johnny and Dallas. I'm glad I still have Steve though that's the only good thing in have right now.
