//cracks knuckles// I suck at writing but whatever)

    Johnny woke up in a cold sweat for the third time this week. He got up wincing at the long, fresh new bruises that trailed down him back from his father.

"DAamn." He stuttered trying to hold back tears.

     His parents were asleep with the door shut tightly. He got off the couch and quickly made long quiet strides to the phone on  the kitchen wall.

He pulled out a small crumpled up piece of paper with a few numbers on it. He hesitated a few seconds before choosing a number and quickly dialing it.

   "Hello?" A familiar voice came through in the other side.

"Hey dal.." Johnny let out a small sigh of relief. "Johnny what are you doing up at 3:00 at night?" His voice showed a crack of worry that was almost unnoticeable. 

 "What  are you doing up at 3:00 at night?" He retorted. 

".....Shut up Johnny." Dally snapped.

Johnny smirked wiping the tears from his face. "Can you meet me in the lot?"

"Why?" 

"Does it matter?" Johnny asked.

Dally went quiet on the other side then began speaking " Alright be there soon." He replied and hung up.

     Johnny put the phone back then opened the door to his house and went out, making his way down the street to the lot. It was pitch black except for the orange glow of the street lights and windows of people's homes.

((TIME SKIP))

He made his way to the lot and saw Dally sitting on the curb. He didn't ask how he got there that fast.

  "So what's up." Dally asked. "Nothing I'm just bored and wanted to do something."

"Bull shit." Dally responded quickly. Johnny was taken a back by the sharp response.

"You wanna talk about something don't you." Dally asked. Johnny sighed "yep." He said slumping down next to him

"Out of everyone else why the hell did you call me?" He squinted.

     That was actually a good question why did he call him out of all the gang. Sodapop and Darry would of listened to him  and give him advice Steve and two-bit would probably listen then make him laugh and pony would of listened and do something to get his mind off it. But out of all seven of them he chose dally the one who'd stare at you like your speaking a different language and then shrug it off.

"It was that dream with the soc's huh." 

  Johnny almost jumped up and punched him. "How the hell do you know that!?" He almost shouted. Pony was the only person he told about the replaying dream of the night he was beat up and he promised not to tell anyone. 

 "Pony told me when I asked how you were doing." 

  "Stupid rat." Johnny hissed. "If it weren't for me being in jail I would of hunted them down and KI-""Dally." Johnny cut him off. The growing irritation in his voice made him uneasy.

  "Sorry." Dally replied which was something he solemnly said.

    He put a hand on Johnny's back but pulled it away quickly when Johnny yelp in pain.

    "What in the blue hell?" Dally quickly started pulling up Johnny's shirt. "Dal stop!" Johnny flustered trying to get away from his grasp. 

  "Johnny what the hell!?" Dally asked looking at the bruises trailing down his back. 

"Did your dad beat you again!"

Johnny stayed quiet ignoring dallys stern gaze. "JOHNNY!" Dally raised his voice and puffed out his chest in frustration and just plain rage.

   Johnny hunched his shoulders and pulled up his legs."I can't do this anymore dal!" He voice cracked. "I CANT TAKE ANYTHING ANYMORE!  I WANT TO DIE!" Johnny looked at him with his big brown eyes which were red from the tears streaming down his face. "I really do..." He murmured while dally looked at him with disbelief and a hint of horror.

    They sat there quietly while Johnny had his small melt down. Without a word dally got up and turned away walking out of the lot."Dally?" Johnny's scratchy voice asked, dally kept walking  away not even turning to look at him. 

"DALLY PLEASE! PLEASE DONT LEAVE!" Johnny sobbed not even sure why he was afraid to be alone.

"DALLY IM SORRY ILL STOP CRYING JUST DONT GO!" He screamed after him but dally was already jumping over a fence into a field.

   Johnny sat still not speaking or moving just feeling the somewhat stinging pain of the tears rolling profusely down his cheeks.

Then what seemed like hours but was actually a minute or less a car came speeding down the road and stopping next to the curb in front of him. At first he thought some soc's were gonna jump him again. He quickly stood up but then stopped and took a huge breath as dally opened the door to the car.

"Get in Johnny Jesus Christ." He snapped. Johnny did as told at hopped into the car with him.

  "Where'd you get the car?" Johnny asked. Dally looked at him and smirked "I may or may not have stole it." He laughed.

  Johnny looked out the window nervously "Did any see you?" 

   "Nooo...? I don't think" He replied. "Where are we going anyways?"

"YOUR gonna stay with me tonight at bucks place."

 "Dally!" Johnny went to protest before dally cut him off "Johnny it's not like your parents are gonna care."

Dally focused on the road while Johnny just sat quietly.
