Dallas Winston Little Sister // Ponyboy & Johnny

Chapter 17

I never wanted to let go of Dally. He held on to me tightly. I could hear him sobbing. Finally he put me down. We both wiped our tears. I hugged him again. Then I pulled away.

"I missed you so much Bells." Dally said

"I missed you to."

"So I heard the old man is in jail now."

"Yea. They proved him guilty before I came here."

"So now your living with Darry?" I shook my head. "Buck?" I shook my head again.

He gave gave me a weird look. My heart was beating fast. We both sat down at the table. We were on opposite sides of each other.

"Then who are you staying with?" He said trying to look in my eyes.

I put my head down. "There putting me in a girls home. Until you get out."

"But what about that cop lady can't you stay with her"

"They said no."

"But they can't do that. You should be able to stay with Darry or Buck."

I still had my head down. My hands were in my laps. Tears started coming down my cheeks. I wiped them off.

"Hannah Bells do cry."

"I'm sorry." This time I was looking at him.

"Look at me. It will be ok. At least they aren't taking you away from me."

"But after I go to the girls home I won't be able to see you."

"I know you won't but we have right now. Now let's not spend it crying."

"Ok."

"So how's Ponyboy?"

"Great. I guess."

I couldn't believe he hasn't no noticed my huge scar on my cheek. My side ponytail was covering it. Then Dally turn his head and I knew at that moment he saw my scar.

"Hannha what happened to you?" He said turning my head and moving my ponytail out of the way. "Did dad do this to you?"

"Y-Yeah."

"Didn't I tell you to run if he hit you once?"

"I know Dally. But when he hit me he wouldn't stop. Then when he told me he had to go to work I called Darry. He picked me up. I was to weak to run. I'm sorry I let you down."

"Don't be sorry. Dad doesn't care about us. The only reason he wanted you back in his life was to hurt you."

"Yea he got what he wanted."

"Yes and I hope he leaves us alone. Cause I want nothing bad to happen to my baby sister."

"Dally I told you I'm not a baby anymore."

"So what. I'll still call you my baby sister. You always said you never wanted me to call you Bells. But did I listen?"

"No you didn't."

"Then I'll still call you my baby sister."

"I hate you."

"You can't hate me. I'm Dallas Winston for crying out load."

"Yea and I'm Hannah Winston. Makes no different. You still my annoying older brother."

"Oh you did not just go there."

"Oh but I did."

"You'll get it."

He got up and tried to grabbed me but failed. Now we where both running around. Finally Dally grabbed me. But when did he spun my around. I was laughing so hard, we both fell down to the ground.

"It's time to say your goodbyes." The police officer said

Our smiles turned into a frown. We both got up and hugged each other. Before I left Dally whispered something into my ear.

"Learn to fly Hannah. Learn to fly."

I smiled. Dally would always read me this story that the last line was learn to fly. Then I walked out of the room. I took one last look then walked over to the lady's car.
