The Outsiders

Part 8

As I lay asleep dreaming, Dally cleans the mess up and washes his clothes and bed sheets.

~Dally~

That was amazing.. I love Jeff with all my heart, but how could I show him? I keep thinking in my head of ideas. I finally think of getting him a love bracelet. His will have my name and mine will have his. Yes it's genius! I sneak back upstairs to check on him. He's cute when he sleeps. He would have a halo around him. That is an idea.. A cute name I could call him My Little Angel. I sneak into the kitchen and take some chocolate cake. I eat it and watch tv. Wow... I'm starting to act like Two-Bit for a second. I finish my cake and feel a bit tired so I sneak back up into bed. I wrap my arm around him and fall asleep. When everyone wakes up I get up and put clothes on. I walk downstairs to say "Good morning guys." Everyone nods their heads and says "Morning." Pony looks at me and asks "Where is Jeff?" I answer "He is still asleep." I laugh. I look at Darry and say "If Jeff wonders where I am tell him I went to town." Darry says raising an eyebrow but asking no questions "Okay." I walk out the door and look for a jewelry store. I find an old one and walk in. A lady greets me and says "Hey Dally-boy! What can I do for my nephew?" I think I remember her. She's my Aunt Cathy! I look at her and say "Well Auntie I don't have much money but I was wondering if you could do something for me." She nods and says "I know dear, I will do it free of cost cause i love you." I ask "Can you do two bracelets? One with my name and the other with 'My Little Angel'?" She smiles and says "Aww my little Dallas has a special somebody! How cute." and goes into a room in the back. I sit in a waiting chair for 25 minutes. She comes back with the bracelets in black boxes and I look at them. She put hearts on them. Perfect! I say thank you and rush back to the house. I walk in with the bracelets behind my back. Jeff looks at me and says "Where in town did you go?" I answer "Oh I just got something is all." and I grab his hand pulling him to my room. I give him his box and he gasps holding his cheeks with his hands. He opens the box and reads the bracelet. He hugs me so tight and says "I love you Dal." I smile and kiss his forehead. "I love you too baby."
