Count me back in. (A Johnny Cade love story/ Outsiders fan-fic.)

Promise?

Johnny led me in the kitchen that filled with  smiles and even more shocked expressions.  "It's a girl!" Two-Bit exclaimed, everyone  laugh a little. "Guys this is, Grace, I met her when I was in the hospital." Johnny told them, softly squeezing my hand. "N-nice to meet you guys." I whispered, unable to speak any louder. "Johnny has told me alot about y'all." I looked up at Johnny who gave me a approving smile, kissing my cheek. "She's a bit shy guys, so please be extra nice." He requested,  looking mainly at Two-Bit who just acted clueless,  pointing to himself with a questioning look. "Yes he meant you Two-Bit." Dallas answered for him, making everyone laugh again. I smiled a little, since I'd never seen anything like this before. I hadn't even see family get along this good, let alone a small group of close friends.

Johnny looked at me again, smiling a little bigger, kissing my cheek several more times making me giggle."The chocolate cake is over here, not on her face." Steve said, rolling his eyes as he walked out of the house in a DX uniform. Well isn't someone grumpy. I thought, biting my lip as Johnny  payed no attention to what Steve had said and started to kiss down my neck. All the guys just watched in awkward silence as Johnny kissed my neck a bit  rougher  softly biting it occasionally. I bit my lip, trying not to make  a noise as  pleasure filled my body. Suddenly Dallas cleared his thriat making Johnny and  I blush. "Sorry..." Johnny muttered, pulling back, taking my hands in his.

"I can't believe you guys are alive." Pony whispered, eyeing Johnny and Dallas, taking a step closer to them. "It's a long story that I'll tell you some other time but for right now let's just catch up. What all did I miss?" Johnny asked, turning to look at him. "Not much, just me half losing my mind from losing you two in the same day!" Pony blurted, throwing his arms around Johnny and Dallas then stepping back embarassed.  "I'm sorry.... I just really missed you two." He appoligized, looking down. "It's ok, man." Johnny said, as Dallas just huffed as a reply.  I giggled quietly as the guys mingeld back and forth; making small talk and playfully nudging each other.

I wish I could be a part of something like this one day. I thought, watching them for a little bit longer before heading back inside the liviing room, taking a  seat on the couch. But I must admit life is slightly better. I have Johnny and Dallas... For now anyways. Nothing gold can stay. I remembered the truth in a poem I read once long ago. Though I wish it wasn't true. I love Johnny with all my heart, despite only knowing him for a little while. Some say  love isn't real; but I know it is. It has to be. Like the way my dad loved me. He would take care of me,  while my mom would be passed out on the couch. He fed me and made sure I did everything I was suppose to. He was always there for me. Tears started streaming down my cheeks at the memory of him. Now he's dead... Just dead.... I thought, remembering him take his last breath in that small hospital room. Remembering his body, that was once so  warm, turn ice cold. I looked up when I heard footsteps coming close to me. "Grace, what's wrong sweetheart?" Johnny asked, taking a seat beside me and wraapping his arm aroung me. "N-Nothing."I lied, wiping at my tears. "You sure, baby?" He responded, pulling me closer to him. "Yeah.... I just miss my dad." I confessed, resting my head on his shoulder crying a little more.

It's been years and years since I've cried, why am I crying now? Am I going soft? I wondered as he stroked my hair, kissing my forehead, "Shhh it'll be ok." He soothed, speaking the same way you'd  talk to a crying baby. "No it won't! He's dead and there's nothing you, I, or anyone else can do about it!" I lost it, wrapping my arms around him tightly. "I know, but he's in a better place now." He whispered, holding me close. "Who's gonna take care of me now?" I asked, my  voice shaky and scared. "I will. I'll take  care of you and love you for the  rest of my days." He answered, pulling back to look at me. "Promise?" I pleaded, looking him in his dark brown eyes. "I promise." He said, his  voice soft and smooth. I slowly  leaned in kissing him softly, smiling against his lips when he kissed back. "I love you." I whispered, pulling back a little. "I love you too." He said, kissing my lips  one more time quickly before the rest of the gang piled in the living room with us.
