The Outsiders

Part 13

~Dally~

We walk inside as I look over to my side at the man holding my hand. Jeff has got to be- what am I saying? Jeff is the one for me. He is my one true love, my heart. If we ever broke up I would blame myself for eternity! Jeff looks over at me with a grin staring into my eyes. I lean over and kiss his soft tender lips. Jeff blushes showing off his cute pink little cheeks. Johnny pulls me aside and says "Dal they are lookin for ya." I knew exactly what Johnny meant by 'they'. Them damn Socs are wanting me, but I can't get into no trouble. I could worry Jeff in a heartbeat if I got hurt or even a little scratch. I told Johnny "Look man I can't fight right now, tell Jeff I am gonna smoke outside for a bit and will be back. Johnny walks over to Jeff and tells him as I walk out the white screen door. It closes with a loud bang but it always does. Bob is outside just waiting for me to look over at him. Once I catch his eye he walks over to me in an angry beat. I could tell this ain't gonna end well for me. Bob points his finger to my face and says "You better stop slashing tires and beat'n up our mustangs, you hear?" I move his finger away and lean against a tall,dark tree and dust off my jean jacket. I say in a sly tone "Look buddy I ain't slashing or beating anybody's cars. I been out of trouble for a week now." The Socs laugh at me and tease "Yeah cause you been kissing lover boy!" My anger gets the best of me and I got on top of Bob and smashed his face in. Every punch I took was harder and deeper into his skull. Once I calmed down and realized what I was doing I look up and see his group already left in fear. I look down at Bob to see his nose bleeding and so is his mouth. It only took a look at his face to see he was gone. I know I couldn't of killed Bob..I couldn't its just impossible!  I back away from the bloody faced body and bumped into someone. I turn around to see Jeff standing in shock, his face pale white and could barely breathe from what he just saw. My eyes open wide and I can't even get the words of why I did this. I stuttered while explaining what happened. Jeff only standed there until he started to fall back. I caught him and put his arm around my neck and his legs in my arms. I kick open the door and say "Darry I need a ride to the hospital, I'm fine but Jeff isn't." Darry rushes to the car and yells for us to get in.
