To Be With You (Dally Winston love story)

chapter fifteen

When Dally opened the door Johnny and Ponyboy were standing there. What are they doing here? I know they sure don’t like parties like this, I wonder if something happened. I thought to myself. “Johnny killed a soc.” Ponyboy said shaking. Oh no. Dally started talking to them, but everything was a blur to me. What if they caught? What would happen to them? Dally took them upstairs, and I fallowed behind still shocked. Johnny only killed him in self-defense so maybe they wouldn’t get into any trouble. I thought. Dally pulled a gun out of a dresser and handed it to Johnny, then gave them some money and told them where to go. I hadn’t said a thing the entire time. I didn’t know what to say. Then they left. When Dally came back upstairs he came and laid back on the bed. “I shouldn’t have left them alone. It’s all my fault.” How could Dally think it’s his fault! It’s those damn socs faults! “No it’s not. How could you have known?” He just nodded and laid back down. Why do things have to be so complicated all the time.

The next day Dally got hauled in to the station. They questioned him about the murder and he said Johnny and Ponyboy were headed for Texas. When he left Two bit and Sodapop came up to us. To be honest I still didn’t feel comfortable seeing Soda after what happened between us. They kept asking Dally where Pony and Johnny was. He said he didn’t know but they didn’t believe him. Soda gave him a letter to give Ponyboy. I felt sorry for him. His little brother is missing and no one will tell him where he was. When Soda left Two bit stayed. “I heard you when you were in there. You said they were headed for Texas. So how come you said you don’t know where they are?” “I told you, I don’t know where they are.” But Two bit still wouldn’t leave it alone. “I’m going to Texas looking for him!” Oh Two bit! “There not in Texas! Do you think I would actually tell them the truth? Two bit there fine!” Dally said getting angry. Two bit just walked away. I hope he doesn’t still go to Texas looking for them.

On our way back from the station I couldn’t help but to think about Soda never o said a word to me or even glance at me. I know it’s not the time to be caring about that stuff, but why didn’t he say anything to me? I was a little hurt that he didn’t acknowledge the fact that I was there. I guess he had better things to worry about. And so do I, so I need to just drop this.

Dally’s POV

I didn’t want to see Sodapop. Not after what happened between him and Christy. I guess that’s why I started to get so angry. I couldn’t help it though. Every time I saw him I remembered Christy with him. But I guess I should give him some slack. His brother just went missing. I could tell he didn’t want to have to talk to me either, because as soon as he gave me the letter, he left without a word. He didn’t say anything to Christy. I think he likes her. You can tell he does. He’s never really liked me, and now I think he likes me even less. But I don’t care about that. I have Christy and that’s all that matters.
