Where The Wild Things Are

D.D

'She said he's not coming home, because he's sleeping with me.'

Adrienne's POV

When I'd gotten back to Bucks and gotten out of my car, Dallas was on my tail. I'd ran up the stairs and unlocked my door.
"Adrienne can we talk."
I could tell he'd wanted to say something to me, I just could. I opened my door and went inside and left the door open to signal for Dal to come in. He looked at me blankly.
"Come in Dallas."
He walked in and went to sit on my bed, I sat beside him. "Hi." He said
"Hello."
"How ya doing?" He said.
"Dallas, what do you want?" I shouted.
He shuddered. what
"I just wanted to get to know you better.." He trailed off.
"What's it to you?" I looked at him.
He shook his head and got up, "Never mind." He said and walked out with his head down. I felt kinda bad. I fell back onto my bed. I started crying softly, I wanted my mom back, I missed my brother, and now I felt humiliated in front of Dallas' friends. "You ain't tell us you had a girl." "I ain't tell her either." The conversation played over in my head. I fell into a horrible sleep.

Dallas' POV

She hates you man, just admit it. It's clear in her eyes. I don't need her though, I can get any broad I want. I went to go prove myself so. I went downstairs, I sat on the couch, and a pretty girl walked over to me. She had long black hair, green eyes. They were narrowed and she gave off a fierce seductive look. Adrienne gave off a friendly but sexy one-what? This isn't about Adrienne. The girl sat on my lap facing me. She moved a lot. I groaned.
"Doll, what's your name?"
"Diana." She replied.
Before I knew it her lips were smashed against mine.
"Let's finish this upstairs?" She said after we'd been going at it for a while. I picked her up and carried her upstairs. I looked at Adrienne's room. She was probably sleeping. I threw Diana on my bed...

Adrienne's POV [next day]

I woke up fairly early, the alarm clock read 9:37. I wanted to clear my head. I decided to go to the Curtis's. Maybe Roxy, Hell, or Bella would be there. I threw on an old over sized yellow t-shirt and sweat pants with red converse. I had converse the whole color of the rainbow. I pulled my hair into a low pony tail. I didn't care how I looked. I put on my glasses, and left the room. Dally was on my tail, of course.
"Hey." He said.
"Hello." I replied and started down the stairs.
"How ya doing this morning?"
"Fine." I made it outside and to my car.
He leaned over the window. "That's good, Doll."
"Yea."
"Where ya headed?"
"Curtis's."
"Oh, I should be there later.
"Woohoo." I said sarcastically. He smirked at me. That made me melt. He couldn't see that though. Then he winked and walked away. I sighed and dropped my head on the steering wheel.
"Damn you." I said quietly, and pulled off into the direction of the house.

I made it there a little around 9:50. I got out and knocked on the door.
"Open!" I heard a female voice shout. I walked in.
"Adri, Heyyy!" Roxy shouted.
Helena nodded in the 'sup' type way.
Soda and Steve said "Hey Adri." Simultaneously and laughed. Bella and Johnny waved their Hello's. Pony smiled. There were a few other faces there. A girl who looked a little like Roxy was sitting on the floor watching mickey with a tall rusty colored hair boy. She pointed at me. "Who dat."
I laughed. "I'm Adrienne."
"Oh." She said and turned back around.
"I'm Two Bit." The rusty haired boy turned around and gave me a grin. The went back to watching Mickey. I smiled at them all, they looked like a tight group. A few seconds after a tall muscular guy with pale greenish- blueish eyes came out of the kitchen.
"Hey Adri." He said and chuckled. "Only know your name because I heard all these people out here say it. I'm Darry." He waved.
"Hello."
They all went back to doing what they were doing in the first place. I felt out of place. Helena walked up to me. "Hey." She smiled. "Hi." I said. She had blue hair, and green eyes. Her hair was really long and she was tall.
"This is everyone at their best," She nodded.
"Wait till you see them when they're comfortable around you." She laughed.
"Hey we're not that bad." Bella said, and Johnny smiled at her.
"Sureee." Helena said and rolled her eyes playfully. "Just join in and talk to whoever." She shrugged. "Be careful with V though." She pointed to the girl on the floor next to Two Bit. "She bites." Helena walked away and laughed. I went over to Roxy.
"What's up Adri?" She grinned.
"Nothing much man," I cracked my neck.
She laughed. "How's life treating you?"
I shook my head.
"Different story." She looked at me. "Whys that a different story?"
I fessed up. "Dallas."
Everyone turned their head and I turned red.
"What did he do?" She said. Now it seemed like everyone was looking at us and it was embarrassing.
"Can we talk in private?"
She pulled me to the kitchen. "What's up with you and Dallas."
"I think I like him."
She looked at me and it sort of looked like disappointment but disbelief at the same time. A second later we heard the door open. It was Dallas, and another chick with long black hair and green eyes.
"What's up guys?" He said.
"Hey Dal." Everyone said.
"Meet Diana." He said with fake cheerfulness.
Diana waved and smiled, everyone said Hi. I went to sit on the stairs abandoning the conversation with Roxy. She sat with me. Dallas and Diana sat on the couch she had her legs on his lap. They were laughing and whispering. Shooting off glances at everyone and me. I took my hair down from the pony tail and ran my fingers through it. I got up and went to the kitchen. To breathe, it was tense in there. Diana came in there a few seconds later.
"Heyyy Adriennee."
I stared at her blankly.
"What?" I snapped.
"Hey, I'm just trying to start a conversation." She held her hands up and grinned.
"I don't want one." I said, I was genuinely starting to get mad. They probably were talking about me.
"Aww babyyy, lighten up." She teased.
"Shut up."
She walked over to me.
"No." She said.
I pushed her and stormed out of the kitchen and out of the house. I knew exactly what Dal was doing. Exactly.

'You'll never make me stay, so take your hand off of me'

Dallas' POV

I watched Adrienne storm out, shortly after Roxy, Hell, and Bella went after her. It was Diana's fault;it was mine. I sat there feeling like fucked up real bad, knowing I fucked up real bad. I shrugged it off, trying not to think about her. The more I focused on not, the more I thought about her. Shit. I was thinking of how I'd treated her for the days we were acquainted. How I left her in the hospital when I knew she had nobody else to visit her for the week she still had left to be there. How I'd blown her off instead of apologizing when i'd seen her at Bucks. How I'd come on to her drunkenly and hurt her when I slammed her against the door, she winced. And how I threw myself onto another girl and came in with her and talked about her, and showed her off to the gang, as if she was mine, just to get her out of my damned head! But she's back in it and I know she's not gonna leave. I sighed and dropped my head in my hands. Soda looked over at me.
"Dal, what's wrong with you?" He asked me.
I looked up and shook my head. "Thinking too much."
Adrienne and the girls had came in about 7 minutes later. They were sort of huddled around her, one was rubbing her back. She wasn't crying but she looked distraught. I hadn't realized Diana had sat next to me. I don't know how long she'd been there. And I didn't care. I wanted to blame this on Diana, but this wasn't her doing; it wasn't why Adrienne was upset. But why was she so upset?
"Johnny, man." I said and went over by him.
I vented to Johnny. My exact feelings and what i'd done and went on and on about how she wouldn't forgive me.
"Apologize." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"Say your sorry."
I looked down. 'Sorry' wouldn't make up for everything i'd done.
"Or at least try to talk to her, and explain to her what you did or something." He shrugged.
I stood up and not only a foot closer to Adrienne, Bella stood up, and pointed to the door.
"No." she mouthed.
But I needed to talk to her, I needed to.
Bella rolled her eyes, grabbed my jacket and pulled me to the side. Diana just sat on the couch smirking at Sodapop. I should've known she was bad news.
"You dun goofed," she started.
"She doesn't want anything, ANYTHING to do with you as of right now." Bella said and then glared.
"I-"
"Nothing. Asshole." She snarled and walked off.

I looked at Diana.
"Out!" I shouted at her.
"Excuse me?" She stood up, walked over to me and was chuckling.
"Leave." I commanded. Everyone was looking at me now.
"Aw, I like it here. Unless your coming with me..." She trailed off.
I sighed. It was taking my screaming conscience to stop me from smacking her dead in the face. Instead I grabbed her wrist and dragged her out.
"Leave." I said, and slammed the door in her face.
"Take your own advice." Adrienne said quietly. I looked at her and saw how upset she looked. Not in her face, but her eyes. They started getting fairly glossy, but I noticed she realized I was nothing to cry over and it disappeared. I left after looking at her for a second. She turned and hid her face into Roxy's neck. I knew she wasn't crying. She was too tough to. Hell just sat at the bottom of the steps and looked at Adri and back at me as I left. And fiddled with her thumbs. She wasn't the comforting type, but she cared about Adrienne. Even if it was their second meeting. Bella was stroking and messing with her hair, sitting on a step above the middle where Adrienne and Roxy sat. Then there was me, leaving the house because they were mad at me for hurting a new coming friend, and a imaginary girlfriend to me.

'She said there's no turning back, she trapped me in her heart'
