Chapter 9

pony's p.o.v.
I actually got to go to the movies with Cherry. That surprised me. We sat in the front row. We heard laughing behind us

"Oh Dally, you're so cute when you tell your fight stories" A girl said. No, that couldn't be. Cherry turned around so I did. I made a mistake. I saw y/n with Dallas's arm around her. She was leaning on his shoulder

"Oh hey y/n! Coming to see the movie too?" Cherry smiled, but she did not smile back. She looked mad?

"Mhm.." She took Dallys hand and fiddled with it.
She was still bruised and cut up. Her black eye went away but she was pretty bad. The memories of us meeting.. Her saving me. Walking home from the movies... Her risking herself for Johnny and I. Those thoughts made my heart sink. I quickly turned around to watch the movie.

Your p.o.v.
Pony looked at us. I wished he didn't. It made me want to cry. I guess Dally could feel me shaking because he kissed the top of my head. I just played with his necklace the whole time. I couldn't get my mind of Pony. We were walking home after the movie when I stopped Dally.

"Thank you" I wrapped my hands around his neck, stepped on my tiptoes and placed my lips on his. Dallas didn't take long to react. He wrapped his arms around my waist and crushed me to his chest. He was a damn good kisser, I'll tell you that. We pulled apart and he put his hand on the small of my back.

*****
Just after a few weeks, Dallas made me a whole new person. I was as tough as rock. I had no emotions anymore. I went to parties and drank. Dally and I never said 'I love you'. We expressed that through make out sessions. We never had sex. That made Dallas crazy. He would try to convince me but I always refused. He never tried to force it, which I was thankful for. But he hated that about me. Even though I got drunk, I never would do anything freaky with him. I woke up next to Dally in my bed. It was nice never being lonely though. I took a shower and got changed into black booty shorts with a blue crop top. I wasn't planning on going anywhere this morning so it doesn't matter if I look slutty. I did a cat eye and applied mascara. I put my hair in a cute messy bun and walked downstairs. Dally was eating cereal on the couch. He was just in his boxers. He was so cute. Dallas put his bowl down, eyed me, then patted the seat next to him. I giggled and sat. He instantly playfully tackled me. He got on top of me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He kissed me passionately. We were in the middle of it when there was a knock on the door. Dally groaned and went to answer the door. It was Pony . I eavesdropped.

"Whatdya want man" Dallas leaned on the door frame. I got up and stood next to Dally.

"Uhm. May I talk to y/n... Alone?" He studdered, fiddling with his hands.

"No." Dally responded coldy

"Yes." I shot Dally a look as he sighed and walked away. I stepped outside and closed the door.
I crossed my arms coldy
"Listen... I'm sorry about what happened a few weeks ago." He scratched the back of his head

"You're just now apologizing?" I narrowed my eyebrows.

"I couldn't look at you! You always cried and I tried to stay together! The only reason I went with Cherry is to get you off my mind! Do you know how hard it is living knowing that you've broke someone?" He was crying. He was holding his head yelling.

"Then why'd you break up with me? Weren't you happy?!" I was raising my voice too

"I don't know I don't know okay?! I felt like shit at the drive ins, knowing you risked your life for me and I tossed ya in the trash!" He was pacing back and fourth crying, getting angry. I grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him in a hug.

"Its okay Ponyboy. Calm down. You're alright. " I whispered in his ear. Eventually he stopped shaking. He pulled away.

"Can we just go back to normal? Happy together?" He asked. My smiled faded.

"I can't.. I'm with Dally." I looked down. "Bye Pony" I walked in the house and shut it behind me. I walked to the kitchen to do the dishes when I felt Dallys arms snake around my waist from behind, then him leaving kisses down my neck. I sighed, turned the water off and turned then pushed him off me.

"I need space, Dal." I walked upstairs and changed into jeans with a black shirt with the sleeves cut off. I slipped on my white converse and walked to the park, ignoring Dallas. When I was walking, I could hear the sound of the mustangs engine. I took a quick glance and saw two socs in the car. I groaned. My face was almost healed! I got to the park and saw the socs get out of the car. I turned around just in time to dodge a punch. I hit one in the eye then the jaw then the cheekbone. The soc for a few punches in but nothing too bad. I gave him a fat lip. I got the soc on his knees and with one strong punch, knocked his bottom tooth out. I grabbed him by the jaw.

"B-but y-youre a girl" he spat out blood.

"I'm Dallas Winston's girlfriend" I smirked, giving him one good punch. I released him from my grasp as he scrambled to his car, driving away. I heard a few claps coming from behind me. I turned and saw the whole gang. What? What are the doing here? I wiped my bloody hand on my jeans and bowed. Darry came up to me

"Nice work you've done there kid. You should consider bein' in the rumble." He said putting his hand to shield his eyes from the sun

"The rumble? I thought I already passed" I wiped my lip since it was bleedin'

"Naw. Its in a few weeks. We gonna chase the socs straight out the neighborhood" Steve howeled.

"Ah, I don't know." I rubbed the back of my head

"C'mon y/n. We need as much people as possible. And Pony is gonna be in it" Soda said coming up behind Darry

"Which he shouldn't. He's weak." Darry sighed

"Am not! And if y/n is gonna be in it, I'm gonna be in it. She's a girl!" Pony playfully yelled

"A strong one. Don't underestimate me Curtis!" I laughed as everyone laughed with me. I jumped on Pony's back. "Onward!" I said patting his head as he ran to the Curtis' household
