I woke up happy. Soda and Steve had the day off and we decided to play a game of football. Darry thought that he was going to have to teach me, but I played football in high school and I thought I was pretty good. I threw on a pair of jogging pants Soda lent me and a blue sweatshirt. I ran out in the kitchen to get a bottle of water before leaving and I bumped into Dally.

"Oh hey Dally, you playing football?" I ask taking a bottle of water out of the fridge.

"Yeah, where's the rest?" He asks taking a water out for himself.

"Already at the field, I'm actually glad your here, Pony gave my directions but I can't remember them" I smiled.

"Let's go" He says.

We walk down the street and pulls a cigarette out of his pocket and lights it up. I hated when boys smoked, only because it's bad for you, but Dally, god he looked so hot with the cigarette between his lips.

"You played before?" He asks after taking a long puff.

"Ah no I haven't, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it" I smirked and I'm pretty sure he noticed. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground right before we turned a corner where the field was.

"Okay! The first team is, Two-bit, Johnny, Dally and I, the second team is Hannah, Pony, Steve and Soda" Darry shouted when we all stood in a circle around the football.

"That sounds fair" Pony says and we separate into our teams.

"Okay, don't worry about me, I played football in school and I know all the rules, I think I'm pretty good too" I whisper just loud enough for my team to hear. Soda and Steve looked relieved, because they didn't need to teach me how to play. Darry shouted to us and we all got into our positions. Soda got the ball first, threw it to me right before he got tackled by Dally, then I threw it to Pony who was open, touchdown! We started again, this time Darry got the ball and he took off, with Soda and Steve right behind him. He was about to throw it to Two-bit, right before it left his hand I tackled Two-bit from the back and the ball landed on the ground close to Pony. He grabbed it and passed it to Soda, who passed it to me when I got off of Two-bit, another touchdown! 12-0 already.

Dally and Darry seemed surprised at our winning, and started whispering to each other. I smirked and gave Soda a high five. The score was now 24-18, Darry wasn't pleased that he was losing, even though we had lots of time left. Now Steve had the ball, threw it right across the field, Soda came out of no where and lifted me off the ground and high enough into the air to catch the ball. He dropped me down and took the ball, running to the line and slamming the ball to the ground. 30-18! Steve came running toward me and lifted me off the ground shouting and hugging me. I was quite surprised because Steve barely even spoke to me before. I laughed with the boys on my team when Steve put me down and we got back into positions. This was it, only 30 seconds left. Soda grabbed the ball when it slipped from Johnny's hands. He ran far down the field and threw the ball to me, about 15 seconds were left and I took off, then out of no where Dally came toward me and tackled me straight to the ground knocking the wind out of me.

"Shit" Dally said sitting next to me. "Hannah, are you okay, Hannah" He says shaking me. By now all the gang were by my side. I was unconscious.

•••

I woke up to a beeping sound. I opened my eyes to see I was in the hospital. All the gang were sitting around in the room. Dally had his head down, the rest looked upset too. None of them realized I was awake.

"Guys" I choke out. What was wrong with me? Dally's head shot up and he immediately got up and came to my side. Seeing him made my heart race.

"How are you feeling, I'm so sorry, I can't believe I knocked you down so hard" Dally said so fast I could hardly understand.

"I'm fine Dally, don't worry, It's all good" I weakly smiled. He smiled back and a doctor came into the room.

"Finally up" He smiled. "I'm going to have to wheel you into another room, maybe one of your friends can stay with you, but I'm afraid all of you can't stay"

"I'll stay" Dally says and this time I smiled widely. I hugged the rest of the gang and Dally pulled Darry outside for a minute. When they all left, the doctor pulled a wheelchair up for me and he wheeled me to another room. He explained to me I needed a couple stitches in my head. Dally stayed in the room with me the whole time. After the stitches were done, the last thing I remembered was the doctor giving me a pill, then explaining something to Dally.

•••

My eyes pop open and I'm in a unfamiliar bedroom. I slowly turn my head and no one was in the room. I try getting up but a sharp pain strikes my head, making me lay back down.

"Hello" I yelled. I heard footsteps coming towards the room. Dally. He sat on the side of the bed and put his hand on my forehead.

"How do you feel?" He asks looking me deep in the eyes.

"My head really hurts" I reply, probably blushing. He looked really hurt.

"Dally, it's really okay, please, I'm fine now, I'm definitely not mad or anything" I reassured him. He nodded.

"Do you need anything?" He asks.

I shook my head and patted the other side of the bed. He crawled over me and lid down by the side of me. We both stayed there silently for a good five minutes.

"Tell me about yourself" He says turning towards me.

I giggled. "There's not much to tell, besides that my mother is a stupid drunk"

"Come on, there's more than that" He smiled. I was shocked, I really wasn't expecting this from Dally.

"Well, I was a straight A student until my mother started drinking. I loved school, mostly because I played a lot of sports, but I didn't have many friends after my father died" I say, I couldn't think of much more to say, my life wasn't that exciting.

"Your boyfriend must have been supportive" He says.

"Well, I ah, I never had a boyfriend before" I shyly say. Dally looked surprised, I wasn't sure why but I ignored that.

"So what about you, got a girlfriend?" I finally cracked the question. I was a little nervous to hear the answer.

"Nah, Sylvia and I broke up when I found out she was cheating on me when I was in jail"

"Jail? You went to jail?" I ask wide-eyed.

Dally snickers and nodded.

"More than once" He said and winked. Hot. I smiled. It must be easy getting caught by police here though, so I understood.

"Hey Dally?" I ask.

"Yes" He says,

"Where are we?" I laugh.

"Bucks" He replies smiling. "I can bring you back to Darry's if you want"

I nodded and tried to sit up again, the pain in my head was unreal. Dally helped me up and down the stairs, I stopped on the bottom of the stairs because I felt like I was going to pass out.

"Here get on" He says turning his back so it's facing me.

I hopped on his back and he carried me all the way to the Curtis's house.

"Hey Hannah" Two-bit shouted and jumped over the couch. I giggled and said hello to everyone. Dally brought me over to the couch and sat me down.

"Does it hurt? Can I touch them" Pony asks coming up behind me.

"Sure Pony" I laughed and he rubbed his fingers against the stitches.

We all sit around the couch after everyone felt my stitches. Two-bit forced us to watch Mickey again. My eyes started getting heavy, I lid my head down on Soda's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Every time I end a chapter, she's sleeping, just noticed that. Anyway, please vote and comment your opinions or ideas!!
