*** DALLY'S POV ***

I just passed the New York sign telling me how much longer I had to drive. Thankfully it was only a few minutes. I missed this place.

"Hey man" I said hugging my long lost best friend. "Thanks for letting me crash here man"

"How have you been? I never expected you back here after what happened a few years ago" Ben said sitting on the couch and I joined him.

"Me either man, I came here to change"

"Change in what way?" Ben almost looked confused.

"My girlfriend, I was just locked up but I got out early. Her and the gang were gone when I went to the house, so I took my buddy's car and came here. I don't want to be hurting her or worrying her all the time man" I sighed.

"You really like this girl hey Dallas?" Ben asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I do" I smiled as I thought about her. She was perfect, but she's really going to be mad when she comes home from wherever and sees I'm not around the day I'm supposed to be out of jail.

*** HANNAH'S POV ***

"We're almost home Ponyboy, just another hour or so" I laughed. All we've heard since we've been in the car was how much he hated driving for a long time.

Surprisingly the car ride didn't seem as long. Soon enough we pulled up in front of the house. I missed being home, I'm just glad this is all over. I hopped out of the truck. I ran up the steps to the door. I was about to unlock it but it was already unlocked. I went inside and the key that was under the mat was on the couch.

"Hey Dar" I shouted. "Someone got into the house"

He and Soda ran up and I showed them the key.

"They only other person who knows about the key is Dally" Darry said looking at the key.

Dally was in jail. He couldn't have gotten the key and came into the house. But what if he got out?

"I'm going to Buck's" I said and ran down the steps again. I jogged all the way to Buck's house. I ran up the couple steps and banged on the door. Buck answered it with a scared look on his face.

"Buck, did Dally get out?" I asked coming inside. He shut the door and turned around.

"Why do you think that?" He asked, looking normal again, almost.

"Someone got into the house while we were gone to my mothers funeral. Darry said that Dally is the only other one who knows about the key that's hidden outside" I said.

"You were at your moms funeral?" He asked.

"Yes, I was, but that's not the point, please have you seen Dally?"

"No I'm sorry Hannah, I haven't seen him" Buck sighed looking down shaking his head.

I sighed and walked towards the door again.

"Sorry Han, wish I could help" Buck said.

"It's okay" I said and opened the door and left. I walked down the dirt road slowly, kicking every rock I seen. I had my head down until I heard some people talking. I looked up and seen Tim and his gang. I sighed but walked up to him.

"Tim, have you seen Dal?" I asked.

"Woah" Some guy laughed. "What happened to your face?"

I sighed and ignored him. "Tim?"

"He got locked up, remember?" Tim said like I was dumb.

I shook my head and turned around and started walking away again. I'm definitely just overreacting, Dally can't be out of jail, and even if he was, he'd be around here, its not like he would have taken off somewhere without letting anyone know, especially me.

*** DALLY'S POV***

Ben and I talked for hours. It was great seeing my best friend again. But I sure did miss Hannah. Maybe it was a mistake to come here without her knowing, but she'll understand when she knows the reason why.

"She seems like a sweet girl, a keeper maybe" Ben smirked.

"Yeah she's definitely something" I said just as I finished unpacking. "I'm gonna head out for a bit"

"Catch ya later man" Ben said and I left the house.

It was chilly out but it was nice here in the city. So different than Tulsa, people weren't dying on the street because someone was pulling blades on them, it was nice. I kept walking until I bumped into this guy, he was with two other guys that looked so familiar.

"Hey watch where you're walking man" One guy said.

"Dallas Winston?" Another one asked.

"What? How do you know me?"

"How do you not know us? Tyler, Aaron and Jackson, Gabe's friend, remember the guy you killed?" The guy I bumped into said, or should I said, Tyler.

"Shit" I said under my breath.

"Remember us now don't ya" Tyler said and three of them started getting closer.

"Hey man, I can't get into anymore trouble" I said backing up.

I seen the Aaron guy stick his hand in his pocket and I took off. I couldn't take the chances of it being a weapon. This totally isn't me to run away from a fight, if Han wasn't around those guys would be killed too, but I'm going to have to get use to the running away part.

"THIS ISN'T OVER" Tyler shouted. I never turned back, I had to keep running until I was safe.

*** HANNAH'S POV***

"Well nothing was stolen" Darry said as he joined all of us in the living room.

I never spoke much since I've been home. This is just really confusing me. Something about the way Buck was talking made me feel like he knew something, but I know he wouldn't ever tell me anything if Dally told him not to. I just don't understand that if Dally got out for some reason, he'd run off or something.

"Come on Han, let's get to bed" Soda said standing up. I grabbed his hand and we slowly walked to the bedroom. I changed in front of Soda, like always because I really don't care anymore. We hopped in bed at the same time and Soda turned out the light.

"You okay?" Soda asked.

"Yeah" I sighed. "Don't you find it strange that someone came into the house and never took anything"

"Well in a place like this, I'm not surprised that someone came in, but it is odd that nothing was taken"

"What if Dally did get out?

"I don't think that's a possibility, he've gotten out for good behaviour once or twice but they must be pretty dumb if they still fall for that, and if he did, well he'll show up sometime"

I sighed and thought about what he said. It's probably true that he never got out, and if he did, I know he'll show up again at some point.

"Goodnight Han" Soda yawned.

"Night Soda" I whispered. "I love you"
