Us greasers

Chapter 9

I woke up to the sun shining in through the windows and Dally's scent. I rolled over and he was still asleep. I carefully got out of the bed and go to the bathroom. When I came back my feet were ice cold from the floor. I looked around in his drawers and finally found his sock drawer. I dug around looking for a pair of black socks, and I noticed a gun in one of the socks. Casual.

"Dally" I say when he wakes up.

"What?" He asks, his voice was so deep I could hardly understand his word.

"Why is there a gun in your sock drawer?" I ask cocking an eyebrow.

"Just to be safe" He smiles. "Did you have fun last night?"

"Yeah I guess so" I decided not to tell him about he guy who came up to my room, he would only get mad and I don't want that.

"I had fun" He says.

"With Cherry" I say under my breath.

"What was that?" He asks sitting up in the bed.

"Dally there's something I have to tell you" I say sitting back on the bed.

"Pony, he told me about this Cherry girl, and last night I seen you talking with her when I was coming down to tell you something, I didn't know what to feel, I knew not to be worried but I haven't done this whole relationship thing before so" I confess.

"Hannah I was just explaining us to her, she came up to me, obviously trying to flirt with me but I told her to back off because I am with you now" He says putting a piece of hair behind my ear. I was relieved.

"Darry? Where's Pony?" I ask walked into the house, I walked alone, I didn't really care about socs right now, I just wanted to talk to Pony.

"DX with Soda and Steve, keep walking left once you get out the door and you'll get there" He replies.

"Thanks" I smiled and skip out the door, I followed Darry's instructions and finally found myself at a tiny gas station.

"Hey Pony" I smile walking into the door. "Where's Soda and Steve?"

"Their out back, Soda told me to watch over the counter" Pony says. "What's up?"

"Actually I wanted to talk to you about something that happened last night" I say sitting behind the counter with him.

He nodded and I continued.

"Well at the party, I was in my room supposed to be sleeping, and when I came downstairs he was talking to Cherry"

"Did you ask him about it?" He asks.

"Yeah he said that he was just telling her that we were together now"

I wasn't sure if I really believed what Dally told me, I want to trust him but I wanted to see what Pony has to say about this. It was our second day dating and there was already a problem.

"Well if that's what Dal said I'm sure it's true, don't worry, if anything happens again you'll know the truth for sure or not" Pony replies.

"Thanks Pony" I smile, I starting walking out the door but Pony stopped me before I went out.

"Wait, Kaitlyn wanted me to tell you, that she was interested in going to the movie house with you later on"

"Oh yeah that would be great" I say and this time I leave the DX.

Kaitlyn was a little younger than me, I think Pony said she was soon turning 15, I didn't mind having a 14 year old friend, she seems like the sweetest girl, although she's the only greaser girl I've met so far.

•••

Around 5 o'clock Kaitlyn dropped by to pick me up, her mom drove us to the Dingo for a lunch before we go walked to the movie house.

"So, you and Ponyboy, you are cute together" I smile walking out of the Dingo.

"Thanks, you and Dal together yet" She smirked. I told her the whole story and she too was shocked at how Dally seemed so excited for this relationship.

"So you girls, do you fight socs too?" I ask as we walk down a road to the movie house.

"Oh yes, Pony doesn't like me fighting but I do it anyway, He never lets me fight in rumbles though, and I don't blame him, some socs can be dangerous"

"What's a rumble?"

"It's where all the greaser gangs meet up at the vacant lot with the socs and they just fight basically" She shrugs.

"And how do you know who wins?"

"The first ones to run away lose, it's usually always the socs though" She giggles.

"Sounds extreme, I don't think I'd ever become strong enough to fight anyone" I admit.

"Don't worry, living with those guys will definitely tough you up sooner than you know it, have you experienced a fight yet?" She asks.

"Some soc cut my neck, that's all that happened to me" I show her my healing neck.

"Dally and Darry will toughen you up real good, their two of the toughest greasers I've ever seen" She sounded amazed.

I giggled and we arrived to the movie house. Kaitlyn had told me that the movie that was playing, was one of Pony's favourites.

•••

"That was a great movie" I say when we wait outside the movie house.

"It was, I totally understand why it's one of Pony's favourites" Kaitlyn agrees. "Oh there's my mom" She says sitting down onto the road. "Sure you don't want a ride?"

"No Dally is coming to pick me up, he should be here any minute" I wave as she gets in the car.

I waited around a little longer for Dally to show up, he must have forgot for or got caught up in something. I was just about to start walking home but a blue mustang cut me off where I was about to step. Four socs hopped out of the car, I rolled my eyes and tried walking past the car but of course that couldn't happen without someone either pulling out a blade or making a comment.

"Hey greaser" One guy says.

"Leave me alone" I snapped and took another step forward, but another soc stood right in front of me.

"Excuse me" I say sternly. 

Before I could say anything else a larger soc pushes me into a light pole on the side of the road. He pushes his arm on my throat and it was getting hard to breathe. I squirmed around trying to get his arm off my neck but he was to big to move.

Before I was about to pass out a car pulls up on the sidewalk and Dally jumps out of a car. He takes down the socs standing next to their car, runs toward the pole I was on and pulls the soc off me. He punched him straight in the face and he falls to the ground. Dally kicks him in the side a few times then comes over to me.

"I'm so sorry, I was helping Darry with something at the house, are you ok?" Dally asks putting me into his car.

"It's okay Dal, They just tried to choke me out, I'm lucky you came by" I replied as he got in the car.

We drove off and I assumed we were going bucks. He lifted me out of the car and brought me inside, I was already asleep because I was so tired after watching the movie. Dally lid me down on the bed and I felt him kiss my forehead, I opened my eye a little to see Dally close the door quietly. I smiled to myself thinking I was so lucky.
