Where The Wild Things Are

False Alarm

'She's got a good time wrapped in gold for you'

Adrienne's POV

I woke up to loud sounds coming from downstairs. I checked the clock and realized that it was 2:00 in the afternoon. I was laying there and frankly didn't wanna wake up. I rolled over and decided to go back to sleep..

"DON'T BE FUCKING RUDE!" Was all I heard before a loud crash and lots of laughter.

I started giggling with my eyes closed too. I don't know what happened down there. But it seemed like Hell was screaming and that rusty colored hair boy did something. His grin was mischievous. Then I heard the door open, and that heavy New York accent I loved and dreaded at the same time.

"What's up guys?" I heard his voice ask.

At that time I really didn't wanna go downstairs. But I wanted food. "Damn you." I muttered and rolled my eyes, followed by me rolling out of the bed by underestimating the fall. I fell with a thud. It went quiet. Nobody but Darry knew I was there. I laid there for a good 3 minutes. Then I got up. By then of course everyone was talking again. I left the room and started downstairs. Dallas was sitting on the couch, so was Roxy. Two-bit was no where to be found. Hell was sitting on Steve's lap. I heard Soda and Darry in the kitchen. I didn't see Johnny or V either. I didn't see I didn't have pants on either until I reached the bottom of the steps and Dally was looking down and smirking.

"ADRI!" Roxy whisper shouted.

I started turning red and I looked down. Everyone else in the room pretended like there was nothing to see. I took a deep breath and walked outside. Frankly not caring if I was wearing pants or not. They'd already seen. I casually shrugged and walked outside. Oh well. In that moment I'd stopped caring. I didn't have any shoes on either. At the moment, I really was invincible. I didn't feel anything. I could jump off a building, or shoot myself and I wouldn't feel it. They're was an aching in my chest I'd come to ignore. I turned the corner and continued my stroll. I didn't know where I was going. I didn't care. I didn't feel. I'd felt this way a while back. Just not feeling it. It wasn't because I'd walked out without a bottom. It wasn't because I felt Dallas mistreated me. It was because of Jersey, and as I turned the corner I saw a Mustang. Mustangs are nice cars. I heard my feet hit the ground. It was a funny sound. The sound was quickly stopped when I was lifted off the ground and thrown over the shoulder of Dally.

"Put me down." I whined.

He shook his head. The mustang was still trailing us. Just slower.
I laid over his shoulder in complete silence as I was jerked back and forth as he was walking back to the house. He put me down on the porch and I glared at him for a second. Then I ran off flapping my arms.

"ADRI!" He yelled.

"HEHEHEHEHE," I started. "THERES GLASS AND I'M GONNA STEP ON IT!" I yelled at him. The mustang was right by me now. Jeez, stalker much? Dally looked at the Mustang and then at me. He started walking towards me.
I screamed and ran the other direction and the mustang went too. He jogged after me but caught up some how. So what he was a foot taller than me? I was picked up again and put over his shoulder.
"Okay my dude," I started and poked his back.
"I'll have you know that it's not comfortable up here." I said with attitude in my voice. Honestly, I didn't wanna be as close to Dally as I was now. I was still mad from last night. But I'd played it off all now, and i'll be as irritating as I can.

He hadn't answered me, so I preceded to start hitting his butt.
He pulled me off his shoulder and held me up by my armpits like I was weightless.
"What're ya doing?" He asked me.
I kicked his stomach.
"Ow, Adri stop." He said. He threw me over his shoulder again. And continued walking. I pouted. I sorta liked being up there, but trust me when I say I wasn't gonna admit it. We'd made it back to the house. This time he didn't put me down on the porch. He'd carried me all the way upstairs, and put me in the guest room.
"Stay." He said and closed and left the room. I stared at the door for a second. What was I doing. He'd offended me last night and here I am obeying his rule to stay in this damned room. I face palmed at the thought. I'm stupid. I got up and crawled  out the room. I was going to slide down the stairs if Dally, wasn't at the perfect timing, about to come up. Shoot.

Hell's POV

I was still mad at Two for almost breaking my arm. But I was trying not to focus on him. I thought about Adri and Dal. And how they seemed perfect but Dal was never good at these things. He's not good at these things. I just don't want him to break her. I thought and turned and snuggled into Steve more.

Roxy's POV

I really didn't know what was happening. I just gave Soda about 50% of my attention, while the rest was spent on thinking. My thoughts lead to Adri and Dal. Nobody in the Gang knew what they were. They seemed to fit perfect but they wouldn't work at the same time. Dal is tough, he's mean, he doesn't love anything. Adri, she's sweet but can defend her self. And if she's mean, she just is to not seem helpless. I ran my fingers through my hair and took a deep breath. He better not break her.

Bella's POV

I was still pissed at Dal now. But I really had no words about them. They have to have something going on. Right? But they don't work. Dal, well Dal. He's a bitch. Bringing another girl in while he's falling for another. I saw right through him. I wanted so badly to hit him. I'd known Adri only for a few days but I considered her as a friend already. I cracked my neck and laid in my own bed at my own home. But it's none of my business. I thought and turned over, closer to Johnny. My safe place.

Dallas' POV

A lot of things were racing through my mind as I'd been making food for Adri. Like why'd I care so damn much? And why am I actually serving someone? She's special. I caught her sneaking out as I was going back up the stairs. I rolled my eyes. She grinned, then turned around and crawled back into the room. I let my mind drift in thoughts that Adri seemed too pure for as I watched her mess with her food before she ate it. She didn't seem fazed by me being there. She chewed and looked at the ground contently. She was adorable. I looked down. And whispered. "Promise yourself, you won't break her."
I already knew that was a promise I wouldn't keep.

She looked up.
"Huh?" She asked at me and looked me dead in the face with her pretty green eyes.
"Nothing." I sighed.
Knowing saying that was another lie.
