Dallas's little sister

Chapter 3

It was a long drive. When you finally reached the place where your brothers address was listed from the last letter he sent. You went up and knocked and heard the social worker drive outta there as fast as she had in. The door opened. "What do you want?" a mean voice growled at you. "I wanna talk to Dallas" you said in your most intense voice. "Why?" The voice said. You could tell he was drunk witch made you a little uneasy but kept a steady voice. "It's none of your business. Just get me Dallas." You almost yelled at him. "Ok" he said with all the nerve gone in his voice. A few minutes later a boy came a i the door. You knew it was your big brother and gave him a hug. He looked at you like you was crazy. "What The. Who are you" he demanded. You looked up at him. "Blaze" you said forgetting that you got that name after he left. "Jolene" you quickly said as soon as he looked into your eyes and knew it was you. "Jolene" he said with question in his voice. "What are you doing here? You know what come inside with me it's freezing out here" he said picking up the bag you had and leading you to his room. "Jolene tell me what's going on" Dallas told you. "Ok ok. Dad died in a car wreck this morning" you said. "Than a social worker brought me here." "Ok so let me get this straight. Dad died in a car wreck this morning so where's mom?" "Dallas I thought you knew" tears welled in your eyes. "Know what?" "Mom died after you left. Dad thought Mom knew where you were. He beat her and she gave up the fight and died in the hospital that night." "I didn't know Jo" Dallas said using the nickname he gave you when you were little. You both just sat there. Shocked that you two are even here. Next to each other. Dallas looked you over thinking about how old you would be know. "Man, Jo I can't believe your 13 already. Your not the little girl I left back in New York 4 years ago." He said standing up. "Come on. I have some friends you need to meet."ok" you said following him. Down the stairs and out the into the cold Tulsa night. "Dang it I was supposed to call James when I found you." "Who?" Dallas said. "Rusty-James. We got really close after you left. He's all I really had since Mom died and all dad did was drink." "Sounds like you really had something. Hey what about those girls you used to hang out with all the time? What happened to them?" "Oh we kinda had a little gang of our own going with that. Everyone called us the hunters. I was the leader. They called me Blaze. I can fight pretty good. Was the shortest of us all but I said something and they all jumped." "Wow! My little sister is a big pack leader now huh" Dal said with a smirk. "No. Not anymore anyway. Since I ain't there i dont know what the girls are gonna do now. Jamie will probably take over." "You sound like me sis" he said shoving you with a smirk and turning to go into a little house. You followed. You both walked in and all eyes fell on you. Six pairs of eyes. "Jolene this is my gang. Their nothing like the hunters but their something alright" he said with a smirk. "This is Johnny" he said pointing out a smaller built boy with a scar on his face. "Pony get your nose outta the book" he said to the boy reading a book. "Wait your names Pony?" "Yeah Ponyboy Curtis" he said with a grin. "This is ponys older brother sodapop" Dallas continued. "Here comes Darry. He's soda and ponys oldest brother." "This is Steve" he said pointing out the one who was shoving chocolate cake in his face. "And this is Two-bit." "Guys this is my little sister Jolene. But she likes to be called Blaze now. I guess." "Hi" is all you managed to say. "Where did you get a name like Blaze?" "For my eyes when I'm angry. I've been told that they look like a thousand forest fires are going through them. Also in part because of my hair." You said. "Rusty-James probably told you that." "Dallas shut up! Hey do you guys have a phone I need to call someone?" "In this kitchen" Darry pointed to the kitchen. Walking that way you gave Dallas a death stare. His friends just laughed. You called and waited for James to answer. "Hello" he said. "Hey James" you said with excitement in your voice. "Hey doll. Did you find your big brother?" "Yeah I am at his friends house right now. I'll call you later ok." "Sure thing doll I miss you" "I miss you to James. Bye" you said before hanging up the phone. You walked back into the living room and plopped down next to Dallas. "Hey doll" he said with a smirk. You smacked him. "It's not nice to listen to people's phone calls Dallas. Besides people have been hanged for less than that" you said with a smile and a laugh because he had been caught. Ohhhs and ahhhs escaped the guys at this. "Come on Jo. It's been a long day for you I bet your tired." "Yeah. I'll see you guys later" you said following dal out the door and back to bucks.
