Not A Average Love Story. (A Dallas Winston/ The Outsiders Fanfiction) -Complet

Chapter Fourteen

The dream I had yesterday really shook me up and I tried to reassure myself that it was only a dream, but it was so realistic.

"Feeling better today Aspen?" Darry asks coming out of his room and into the kitchen. His hair is greased back and he's wearing his work pants and a black shirt, I've always admired Darry, even if Ponyboy hated him sometimes. It takes a lot to give up your dreams and work all the time to provide for your brothers.

"Hello Aspen? You alright?" Darry says looking at my concerned, "Huh? What?" I say and snap back to reality. "You zoned out on me there for a minute, got me worried." he says, "Oh I'm alright just thinking." I say.

He goes back to the kitchen to finish cooking breakfast, and as soon as it's ready all the guys pile in on cue. They all stuff their faces and then go back for seconds, I don't eat just stare at them in disgust.

"Why are you looking at us like that?" Pony asks, "How can you guys eat so much?" I ask. "Cause Darry's cooking is amazing and we are growing men that need protein." Steve tells me, "Men my ass." I mutter which causes Darry to laugh and the boys to glare at me.

"So what are we doing today?" I ask after they had finished eating. "Work." Darry says, "I got some school work." Pony says, "Stevie and I got work too." Soda says, "I'm going to Tim Shepard's." Dally says and if he's going to Tim's then I'm not aloud to go cause apparently Tim's gang are perverts and I shouldn't be around them.

"Then it's just me and you Two bit." I say, "Yeah I'll babysit you." he says, "Hey I don't need no babysitter." I say. Everyone goes off to where the need to go and I'm stuck with Two who's eating cake and drinking a beer while his eyes are glued to the tv screen. I don't see how he can watch the same episodes of Mickey Mouse over and over again. I couldn't do it!

"Do you ever get bored of Mickey?" I ask, Two Bit whips his head around to look at me like I'm crazy, "No! Nobody can not like Mickey Mouse." he says. I put my hands up in defense, "Okay you physco path." I say and play with a string on my shirt.

I eventually get bored and leave Two to his plans and go to the park. I sit on a swing and watch the young kids play, I wonder what life would be like it we didn't have this whole Greaser and Soc war. If we were all just friends.

"Hey Aspen." Someone says, I turn to look at them. There stands Cherry, a Soc, I've never really liked her but Pony sure does. I have been taught manners so I talk like a civilized person even though I rather say 'See ya' and go eat a burger. "So how have you been?" she asks, "I'm fine." I say, "Are you and Dally still together?" she asks, "Yes." I say.

"Oh well I've heard-" she starts but I cut her off, "Well it was nice seeing you but I've got to go meet someone." I say and get out of there as fast as I could.

Sometimes being a civilized person sucks so oh well, she can cry me a river. No one ever said I have to nice all the time, ya know. But I still want that burger.
