The Outsiders One Shots

Dally Saves Ponyboy

Ponyboys POV

  I'm done. Done with the whole Dreasers vs. Socs. Done with the nightmares, done. I can't handle this no longer. The stress. The pain. No more.  I picked up Darry's razor once I locked myself in the bathroom and made the first cut. It stung a little bit; it wasn't too bad, but, I wanted more. (A/N: From personal experience I know what I'm writing so don't tell me I'm wrong, 'kay?) I made the second cut, and when I thought about my deceased parents I made it a little deeper. Right when I was about to make the third cut the door opened.

Dally's POV

"Ponyboy Curtis, what the hell are ya doin'?!" I panicked and immediately grabbed a towel and putting pressure on the youngest Greaser's forearm. "Dallas, what are you even doing here?" Ponyboy hissed in pain and frustration. "Darry and Soda told me to come watch you, they said you were actin' weird..." I suddenly felt sorry for Pony. He looked as though he was going to cry. So I did something I only ever do to someone I care about. I put him on my lap and hugged him close to me. I put my head on his and he just cried into my shirt.

We stayed like that for a while and he suddenly realized what he was doing and pulled away wide eyed "I'm sorry Dally I know that your probably grossed out right-" I didn't let him finish and just hugged him again. "Does it look like I'm grossed out?" I asked and I could feel him relax.

  I heard his light breathing and he was asleep. I lifted him up and  took him to his room. Once I tucked him in and went to leave but I heard him say "Dally" I turned around. "C-can y-y-you st-stay with m-me?" He stuttered. I hesitated, before nodding. "Sure Pone.." I got into bed and thought about what Soda would do so I put my arm around him and whispered in his ear, "Great, now I'm protective of you." He chuckled and fell asleep and I did too.
