It All Started With Dallas.- a Dallas Winston fanfic

Chapter 24

It's the rumble tonight.  I feel like something is gonna happen.  Something bad.  Maybe that's just me though.  I heard from the hallway some yelling so i decided to eavesdrop.

"Where'd he go!" someone yelled.  "I don't know i think he just left!" someone else said.  "You're his god damn nurse you should know!" another voice yelled. I had a strong feeling Dal went to the rumble.  "Jesus christ do you know Dallas Winston he doesn't listen to anyone he does what he wants just let it be" someone said. 

Yup i was right it was him.  My walking got better.  Obviously the burns still hurt when i move but a little less.  I managed to get myself in the chair and wheel myself to Johnny's room.  Everyone was so distracted over Dallas they didn't even realize. 

"Hey my partner in crime" i said rolling into his room.  "Hey burn buddy" Johnny said in a raspy voice.  I laughed "well that's one way to put it.  how ya feelin kid?" i asked.  "Probably the same as you, burns ya know....burn and i busted my back so that hurts a lot.  Breathing hurts man.  I don't know how much longer i have" he said.  I started crying.  "Johnny it's all my fault" i said in between sobs.  "Sav nothing's your fault...i chose to run into the church, i chose to save those kids.  I didn't chose to burn half to death but i did.  Those kids lives are worth more than mine man." he said back with a sad, quiet voice.  "Johnny don't say that.  You know your life is worth somethin.  I felt like i was gonna die that day too.  Hell, we almost did.  But we are here right now, even if we r in a hospital instead of the rumble" i said to Johnny. 

"Ya know, you were a great friend to me Sav.  You knew how i felt.  You understood.  You and Dallas are a lot alike like that.  You guys are meant for eachother.  Don't change even if your life does." Johnny said.  "Johnny stop making me so sad.  I'm not going to say everything's gonna be okay because i know things will change.  I'm not gonna lie just to put on a fake smile" i said.  "You're real Sav.  You're a real person who doesn't show fake feelings.  I like that about you.  Stay that way" Johnny replied.  "I think i gotta go, Dal left and they probably think i went with him,  Love ya Johnnycake.  Stay strong burn buddy" i said with a tear rolling down my face.  "Love ya too Sav.  And don't worry i'll be as strong as i can be" he said with a cute little wink.  I kissed his cheek and left the room and quickly wheeled back to my room. 

Knowing that Dal is currently beating the living shit out of the socs made me happy but uneasy at the same time.  Not going to lie i think Johnny might die tonight.  I wanted to be by his side till his last breath.  I still felt like i was to blame for this whole mess. 

I rolled to Johnny's room again... i was bored.  "You can't go in" a doctor said to me.  I started crying.  "please, please i need to be there for him.  I blame myself for this.  Come on please" i said sobbing.  He gave in.  Maybe it was the chair.  Whatever i don't care, all i cared is that i was there for Johnny.  He was asleep but i just wanted to be there. 

I heard yelling from outside he door.  It sounded like Dallas.  I just stayed put leaning my elbows on Johnny's bed.  Dal and Ponyboy walked in.  He looked at me and smiled but i knew he was here for johnny so i just whispered a 'hi' to him.  Ponyboy looked like a dead zombie or something but i wasn't gonna say anything.  "hey Johnny, we stomped them socs real good.  We ran them strait out of our neighborhood" dal said happily shaking his arm. 

"fighting never did any good". Johnny said with a raspy voice.  "Pony, Pony boy.  Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold" Johnny said within his last breaths.  "Oh my god" i whispered.  I looked at Dal, then at Pony, then at Johnny, then back at Dal. 

Johnny died.

"This is what ya get for helping people, huh, punk." Dal said.  "Bastard!" he yelled and punched the wall.  I didn't even try to comfort him, nothing would help.  I sobbed my eyes out alone with my hand intertwined with Johnny's.  Then i realized.  Dal was gonna blow.  He can't handle what just happened.  I heard faint police sirens in the background.  "Shit!" i yelled.  I knew it had to do with Dallas.

I hopped out of my chair and ran for my life.  I didn't care about the pain or the doctors chasing me.  "Get the fuck away from me!" i yelled behind me.  I couldn't feel any part of my body.  I saw the gang running behind me.  "Sav what the fuck are you doing you're gonn-" one of them yelled.  "I don't care i don't fucking care!" i yelled.

I paused to see Dal standing on the hill with a gun.  i've never ran faster.  "STOP... DONT SHOOT IT ISNT LOADED" someone yelled.  The cops began to open fire.  Before i knew it i yelled.  "STOP PLEASE" and i ran in front of Dallas. 

BANG.....BANG....BANG.

***DALLAS'S POV***

Sav ran in front of me and got shot three times.  For me.  I put my hands up instantly in surrender and dropped the gun.  I feel to my knees over her lifeless body.  "What the fuck!" i yelled at the cops.  The gang surrounded me and her.  "Stupid freaks!" Darry yelled.  I cried.  Now Dallas winston never cries... but that night i cried so much.  I couldn't help it.  My best friend died, now my girlfriend. 

Ambulances came and surrounded us.  "she's....she's dead...i'm sorry" the paramedic said to me.  "FUCK" i yelled.  " i grabbed my gun from my pocket.... this one was loaded.  I ran to the top of the hill.  "Dallas what are you doing!" Pony yelled.  "What's there to live for Pony.  I'll miss you guys!" i yelled. 

I put the gun in my mouth and pulled the trigger.  That was the end.  "DALLAS DONT" was the last thing i heard.  I saw the light.  i watched everyone surround my lifeless corps on the hill.  I floated above them. 

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Sav.  "why?" she asked.  She's even more gorgeous in heaven.  "Because i love you." i said to her.  "i love you too"
