Dally's POV

"Be careful Dal!" she yelled at me. I chuckled. "I am bein' careful babe" I said back to her.

It's been three months since we've been gone from everyone and these three months have been amazing.

Accept for the part where I broke my foot trying to clean the gutter. Now that was painful.

I heard the love of my life giggle. "You're such a dork, you know that?" she said as she sat next to me.

We were living in one of my friend's house at the moment. He literally just gave it to me because it was too small for him.

I smiled at her and threw an arm around her shoulders. "I know babe, but I'm only dorky for you" I said as I pecked her lips.

She blushed and playfully hit my shoulder. We went into a fit of laughter. "That was cheesey" she said through her laughter.

There was a knock on the door and we both froze. She looked at me with a worried look and I knew what she ment.

They found us.

Johnny's POV

"Dally ain't nothin' but trouble for her" Two-Bit said as he took another swig of his booze.

Ever since Dally and Giselle have wondered off, Two-Bit's been drinking more than usual and he's been smoking about three packs a day.

"Dally could be good Two-Bit. We just gotta let 'em open up to us" I said. My eyes widened and I quickly ducked.

The sound of class meeting a wall rang throughout the room and I closed my eyes tight.

"Dally ain't nothin'!!!" he spat at me.

"That's enough!" Darry's voice boomed. I felt myself being lifted up and opened my eyes to see Ponyboy. He smiled kindly at me.

"I've had enough of you Bit! For cryin' out loud, you almost hurt Johnny!" Darry yelled. "'don't care if he's hurt! I want Giselle!" Two-Bit said back.

Everyone in the room froze.

Smack!

Everyone's eyes widened as we watched Two-Bit fall to the ground clutching his face.

"Don'tcha ever talk 'bout our Johnny like that!! Without him, we wouldn't be a group! He makes us have peace!" Darry spat.

And he was right. When there was a problem, I would usually be the one to fix it. I was keeping us Greasers from being like Tim Shepard.

I was keepin' us as a family...

Two-Bit's POV

"Gimme your keys" I said. "No." Darry said in a stern voice. I pulled out my switchblade and stood up, putting the end of the blade towards Darry's throat.

"I SAID GIMME THE DAMN KEYS!!" I seethed through gritted teeth. "Two-Bit! Leave 'em 'lone!" I heard Soda yell.

"It's alright kid brother. Pony, go get my keys" Darry said glaring at me. My hands were shaking and I began seeing double, but I didn't care.

I needed to find Gis.

"Here ya go" Ponyboy said handing me the keys. I snatched them out his hand and removed the switchblade from Darry's throat.

I left without another word.

***************************************

As I continued driving, my hands became more shakey and my vision more blurry. I was scared. Scared that I would die. Scared that I wouldn't stop.

Scared I wouldn't see Giselle again.

But that's what kept me going. The thought of never seeing the love of my life again. I was scared because I knew I loved her. I just...knew.

I decided to stop driving and pulled into the Dairy Queen's driveway. I cut the engine and rested my head on the steering wheel.

I replayed the events that happened over and over in my head. A tap on the window made me jump.

"Sorry 'bout that. I noticed you from the rumble we had couple years ago, and I wanted to say I let Dallas stay at one of my ol' houses" the boy said.

I smirked and asked for the adress.

This should be fun.

Giselle's POV

I stood behind Dally as he opened the door. My eyes widened when I saw who it was. Dally opened his mouth to say something but within seconds, Two-Bit was on top of him with a switchblade to his throat.

Dally held the blade away from him while Two-Bit pushed down on it so it would go into him.

Dally, somehow, kneed Two-Bit in the stomach and jumped on top of him. Dally got two good punches before something happened.

His movements came to a stop and his eyes became watery. He looked down and so did I. I wish I hadn't.

There was blood seeping through his shirt and, now, dripping from his lips. He looked back up at me and I let out a sob, followed by a scream.

Two-Bit stabbed Dally...
