Wait..I love you (Dally Winston)

Chapter 15

***Bris pov***

my attention soon snapped to the front door when a rowdy group of guys pushed through it. i figured i should run. but i couldnt. it felt like my feet were cemented into the ground. i was so scared. the first boy to fully enter the house was two-bit. he stopped with the door still open and gave me a worried look

"is steve with you" i paniced

"yeah.. and hes pissed" two-bit replyed

i looked over to the bathroom in the hallway and back at two-bit. with out thinking twice i leaped to the door and slammed it behind me. i quickly locked the door and pressed my back to it. i stalled for a minute trying to figure out my next move. i figured he wouldnt try to come in if he thought i was in the shower so i walked over to it and turned the knob starting the water. first i removed my gray vans and i slowely lifted my shirt over my head and onto the ground followed by my tank top and bra. next i slid my pants down to the floor with my underwear in them. i piled my cloths up in the corner of the small bathroom and i swiftly stepped into the shower adjusting the water to my likeing. when i was finally all settled i decided to wash my hair first then my body. after about 25 minutes i was done washing off and the water was running cold. i feared this moment the most... i turned off the water and stepped out of the shower grabbing the towel on the rack and wrapping it around my body, i than tryed to kill time by brushing out my hair with a comb i found sitting on the sink. i gathered up my cloths and held them to my chest. i shakely walked over to the door and rested my hand on the knob while taking a deep breath. i turned it all the way to the left realesing the lock and i slowly opened it making a creaking noice, it got the boys sitting in the living room attentions. they all peered over to me with a sympothetic look. i quickly searched for steves face as everyones eyes were tracing mine but i couldnt find him

"uh..um wheres steve" i stutered

"he is on the porch" darry said looking down in a dissapointed tone

i shook my head as a thank you and i walked into soda's and pony's bedroon. the gang was awful quite when i walked out of the bathroom from my shower, but i guess they had a right to be. i opened ponys bottom drawer and pulled out a fresh pair of sweats and a baggy shirt. i figured i could go to steves car and grab my bag but he was outside and i wasnt gonna risk him seeing me so i decided to throw them on. i then sat at the bottom of the medium sized white bed in scilence. without thinking i jumped off of the bed and made my way through the door and out to the living room where i located the front door and walked to it as the gangs eyes trailed behind me. i decided this was the right thing to do... talk to steve.. i dont like all of this suspence that i was feeling towards this conversation that was going to happen either way. so i just wanted to get it over with. i placed my hand on the knob and tryed to think of how i was going to explain this but i was drawing a blank so i figured i would just wing it. i took a big deep breath as i heard sodapop wish me good luck. i looked back at him

"thanks, ill need it"

i pushed the door open and saw steve leaning against the railing on the porch. he wipped his head around to see who just came out. he made direct eye contact with me... his eyes looked hard. mean and hard. for the first time real fear began to build up inside me but towards my big brother the only person who has ever protected me was now a threat. as soon as he realized who i was he cocked his head back to the front. i could tell he didnt want to talk to me but too bad.

"steve" i said dramatically walking over next to him also leaning on the rail

"what" he snapped

"look i dont want to talk about this either but we dont have a choice, do you really think we are gonna ignore each other for the rest of our lives" i pleaded

"why not" steve said putting the lit cigarette that was in his hand into his mouth and taking a puff

"Steven Zachary Randle put that cigarette out right now" i screamed "and because its ridiculous" i replyed. steve took the cigarette and through it into the front lawn

"well theres really nothing to say except you are forbidden to hang, talk to, be near, or even look at dallas winston understood" steve said firmly

"what?! thats not fair!" i yelled

"yes it is i am the adult around here now and i make the decisons" he yelled back

"but stevey"

"no buts, i really dont want to hear it" he snapped back

"i really like him." i said softly looking down. he grabbed my chin and forcefully lifted it toward him.

"no you dont, your just falling into his trap, and after like comes love and he will never love you back. Dally is a hard cold blooded guy and you will eventually find that out the hard way but not if i keep you away from him" steve said harshly

"your wrong, hes not like that he told me that this was different, he never felt this way before, and i believe him"

"bribri, you know i want you to be happy, but im just trying to protect you i thought you were old enough to understand, i just love you so much" steve said wrapping his arms around me for a tight hug

"i do understand but sometimes i just cant help myself.... i love you too" i replyed returning the tight hug. we stayed in it for awhile both starting to cry

"but look baby girl you still arent aloud to see him okay" steve said pulling out of the hug and holding onto my shoulders

"okk-ay" i shakely confirmed. steve grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me in to kiss the top of my head

"your a great kid u know that" steve said wrapping his arm around my shoulder and walking to the door

"thanks your making a pretty good adult yourself" i said looking up at him and smirking as he winked down at me

we opened the front door and everyone inside froze waiting for us to say the first word.

"its all okay" steve said to the gang while kissing the top of my head again

"yayy" soda yelled jumping up and swarming both of us with a big hug.

everyone else jumped off of their seats and came to join our hug. it lasted a while until we all sat back down on the couches

"well im glad thats over" ponyboy said in relief

"yeah me too" johnny agreed

"alright well im gonna head out, you coming johnnycake" two-bit called out from the kitchen grabbing a beer

"yeah man lets go" johnny replyed

"see ya guys" the rest of the gang said as two-bit and johnny grabbed their jean jackets and headed out the door

"alright guys lets go off to bed, pony you got school tommorrow" darry said to soda and pony

"you do too bri" steve interuppted

"ugggh" i groaned falling back onto the couch and slamming a pillow over my face

"goodnight" darry said walking into his bedroom

"see you tommorow" soda and pony said walking into their room

"okay goodnight, sweet dreams" steve and i replyed. i didnt even have the energy to go brush my teeth i was just laying on the couch restless. steve soon grabbed the blanket on the chair next to me and wrapped it around me. he then walked away and into the kitchen

"where are you going" i asked just barely opening my eyelids

"im just grabbin a snack and ill be right back over" steve confirmed

as soon as everything around me was settle, two-bit and johnny were home, the curtis' were sleeping, dally was somewhere but away from this house, and steve was in the kitchen i knew it was finally okay for me to go to sleep. i didnt realize how tired i was until i fully closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep not even waiting for my brother to join me. i never really have dreams but the very few that i do usually end up happening sometime in my life... its actually very creepy. the next thing i knew....
