Wait..I love you (Dally Winston)

Chapter 20

***Bri's pov***

my hands became numb and my legs were shaking... i was in so much shock, i have never gotten in trouble with the police before. im screwed steve is gonna find out.. my life is over. all of the socs made a run for it and the fuzz dragged me into their car and we headed down the street with the sirens on... thats when it hit me. holy shit, i am in the back of a police car....

the local police station was just down the street from here. as we drove down the block i stared out the window watching the houses, stores, and farms fly by me. although the drive was not that long it felt like i was sitting in this creepy and dark back seat for hours. after what seemed like decades, we finally pulled up into the bright and active police station. chills were sent down my spine as the police officer parked the car and opened the door for me to get out. i hesitantly walked behind the officer up to the front doors of the station.

"after you" the officer gestured holding the door open for me to walk through

"thanks"

"have a seat in the waiting chairs while we call home. what is your full name sweetie" the secretary said to me as i took a seat

"uhh Brianna Lea Randle"

"do you know which family member is most likely to pick up"

"Well no one in my immediate family would come but.. can it be a close family friend"

"sure"

"okay thanks Darrel Curtis"

"alright" she said finding his name and dialing a number.

i hated this. just everything about this place. it was dark, cold, and damp. i pictured jail differently though. i guess the cells were in a different section, but i never really thought about what had to be done like calling family and paperwork before they could lock you up. i looked around alittle and saw people handcuffed walking with officers around the building. this place is evil, i know i dont belong here. i couldnt help but wonder what happened to dally. is he already in a cell? ive already known about his record at the police station, so it wouldnt suprise me. i tryed to drain out my surroundings so i could lose my thoughts but what steve would do when he got here was permenetly cemented into my head. my legs began to tremble from anticipation, i just want this to be over with. i spent the next twenty minutes staring down at the musty gray floor. before i knew it there was a loud bang at the entrance. my head whipped to the sight of my brother storming into the waiting room where i was and crashing the door into the wall. panting behind him were Darry and Soda. steve's eyes met with mine. they were hard and empty, yet filled with hatred. without even stalling he leaped from the door and started to angerly run towards me. i quickly leaped over the back of my seat just in time for darry and soda to pull him back.

"SIR, YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN, WHAT IS YOUR NAME" the secretary yelled standing up from across the room

steve didnt even notice her speaking to him, nor did he care.

"his names Steven Randle" darry called over his shoulder still struggling to hold steve back

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU AND DALLY DO" steve yelled

"no, its not what you think!" i called over him

"JUST SHUT UP, ILL SIGN THE PAPERS AND WERE LEAVING, NO SISTER OF MINE IS BECOMING A CRIMINAL, NO SIR"

darry and soda slowely and cautiously let go as steve went over to sign my release forms. soda and darry sat on either side of me

"so what really happened" soda calmly asked

"long story short, i snuck out on a date with dally, we went mini golfing, a few socs jumped us and to save my life dally held up an unloaded gun so the socs would release me. the fuzz showed up as dally was pointing the gun at them, and now were here."

"damn" soda replyed in shock

"well technically, you didnt do anything wrong and you should be aloud to explain." darry said

"whats the use, steve wont let me explain, and it doesnt matter the fuzz will always believe them, the rich kids, the south side socs over us low class greasers anyday"

the curtis brothers nodded their heads in aggrement, i guess steve was done signing the papers, he walked up to the door, turned around and shot me a nasty glare and walked out. me, darry, and soda all followed

"ill drive" darry yelled leaping into the drivers seat of his old maroon truck "bri you sit up front with me, soda steve sit in the open trunk"

i hopped into the front seat next to darry. i felt the other two boys leap into the open trunk. i slowley buckled my seatbelt and took a deep breath. i was so tired i just kept yawning and rubbing my eyes the whole way home. as we were pulling around the corner from the curtis' house i asked darry an important question,

"what is going to happen to dally?"

"well since it wasnt anythin' too serious, buck or shepard will probably bail him out tonight"

"good" i replyed

as we parked the car in their small driveway everyone jumped out like a mob of hungry beasts. and paraded into the house.

"listen Bri, im giving you one oppertunity right now so choose wisely" steve said between his tightly bit teeth trying to remain calm "we can move into our house tommorrow and let this blow over and never see dally again, or you can choose dally after he has ALREADY put you throught all this and you will lose us"

"Steve, i think i really love him, how could you make me choose like this..."

"Do it." he screamed "NOW"

"DALLY" i paniced

"what...?" he cocked an eyebrow "wrong answer" steve yelled slapping me across the face sending me to the floor.

i could faintly hear everyones gasps around me, including steves. as i slowley picked up my stinging head i saw soda jump and push steve into the wall

"shit" steve mumbled while staring at the ground and running out to the backyard.

i looked around with my eyes like dear in headlights, before i dashed off into pony and sodas room. i grabbed a medium sized bag and threw as much cloatha as i could in there. ive had it, im running away, i dont know to where, but its already to late to turn back, i really fucked up this time. i darted through the hallway and passed the guys in the living room trying to dodge the stares that would fill me with regret and guilt. i pushed the front door open and ran as fast as i could down the street to no where with the guys screaming behind me to come back as they chased me, but i was not going back. i cut through a trail through woods and continued to run for awhile before i stopped to take a breath. yes! they lost me.

***Steves pov***

holy shit.... i cannot believe i just did that, maybe she deserved disipline from getting arrested but i should have atleast let her explain. but she picked dallas! i only wanted to protect her but really.... why did i hit her, what am i going to say when i walk back in there. i guess ill have to find out. i jumped up off of the back porch and opened the back door. i walked through the kitchen and into the living room staring down at the floor too guilty to see their faces.

"umm. hey. so, where is she" i said in a soft voice

"you mean your sister, the one you just slapped! Yeah, shes gone." soda snapped

"what do you mean shes gone" i paniced looking up at him nerveously.

"she ran out after you slapped her, we chased her for awhile but lost her, theres no point in searching for her now, its dark and shes probably far away, congradulations steven, congrats" darry reprimanded

my eyes welled up with tears, i really pushed it this time, Bri is gone...... forever.
