The Scar You Left Behind

Chapter 7: Telling The Truth

Chapter 7:  Telling The Truth

Last week, where do I begin?
The guy I love, Dallas Winston, told me he loved me, and thank god Johnny approved.
We still haven't told the guys, we're waiting for the right time, Johnny knows I live with Dal, he's ok with, I don't think he's all too happy about it, but it's better than living at my parents.

It's Friday, 9:00 am, and I just woke up.
Dal's still asleep, I sit up in bed, and go to take the covers away, but I'm pulled back into bed, I turn my head to see Dal smiling at me.
"Where ya going Bambie?" He asks smirking
"I WAS going to get dressed Winston" I say back
"Not yet"
"Why not?" I ask
"Because" He starts, "I said so"
"Oh Dallas,  I'm gonna need a better answer than that"
"Ok.. how about this?" He asks, and starts tickling my side, I'm in a laughing fit begging him to stop, but he continues tickling me,
"MERCY" I yell and he stops, the two of us out of breath
"Now I've made ya laugh, you can go get dressed" he says laying back down in bed
"Oh Dal, what would I do without ya" I say sarcastically  he nods and slowly gets out of bed to get dressed.
I walk into the bathroom, put on my blue skinny jeans and a green long sleeve shirt, and my black converse, I throw my hair into my usual ponytail and walk back into the room.
I laugh when I enter to see Dallas laying in the bed with only his pants on, he looks really funny
"Dal" I manage to get out "stop messing around, come on I wanna go to the Curtis'" I say catching my breath, throwing him a shirt
"Alright, but some day you're gonna want to see this body" he says and I laugh at him. He puts on his shirt and jacket, this time he gives me his other jacket, a blue jean jacket. It goes with my pants.
We walk outside and he puts his arm over my shoulder, my hand in my pocket, September can be cold.
"Hey uh, I want to tell the guys about us? Like as in today" Dal says looking out to the sky, I look up to him
"Sure" I nod
"Seriously?" He asks
"Yeah, I'm ready to, are you?" I ask
"Well yeah! I've been wanting to tell the world I'm with you" he says kissing my cheek
"Awe Dal, that's so sweet" I blush
"Well it's true, I love you Bambie" he says,
"I love y-" I am cut off by the sound of a loud engine. I look away from dal to see a blue mustang coming for us, Dal follows my stare and sees the blue mustang
"Dammit" he curses to himself,
"Do you have your blade?" I ask
"Yeah, you don't have one do you?" He asks
"No.... I do not" I say
"HEY GREASE" shouts a soc, they are getting out of their car and walking up to us, Dal steps in front of me protecting me
"We ain't looking for no trouble" Dal says angrily
"Well troubles looking for you" says a soc
"Well lookie here, what do we have here?" Says another
"That your girl Dallas? She's mighty fine" says a blonde soc named bob
"Yeah, she's mine. So go on get in your car and go on" Dal says squeezing my hand
"See... now where's the fun in that?" Asks Bob sarcastically
"I told y'all. We ain't looking for no damn trouble" Dal replies
"Get the girl" bob says taking a sip from his beer
"No!" Yells Dal, But one grabs me from behind him, two others jump onto dal and I scream, I try to get away but he has me in a tense hold
"Stop struggling and watch" He says
"Let her go man" says Dally
They step back when dal pulls out his blade
The soc holding me softens his grip and I kick him in the groin, I grab dals hand and we run down the street into the his hideout fast.
We hear the socs car squealing against the road they're driving so fast looking for us.
"Woah, that was close" I say catching my breath
"I'm sorry Amber" Dal says looking at me
"For what? We were outnumbers by a lot Dal, don't be sorry" I say hugging him
"You're right" he says and we begin walking to the Curtis' again.

We get to Curtis'  and walk inside, Johnny isnt here, him Pony are at school. Since I'm holding Dals hand the guys make confused faces at us,
"Uh? Something up guys?" Asks Two-Bit
"Well, guys, me and Amber are together" Says Dal kissing my forehead, earning lots of awes and claps
"Congrats you two" says Darry I nod at him and thank the guys, I sit down with them, I wasn't going to school today, i wanted to just hang out with Dally, who knows what Johnny will say though.

It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Dal and I just went walking around the railroad tracks and ate some lunch at the Dingo, caused some trouble at the pharmacy and now we're back at the Curtis' just the two of us, Johnny and Pony should be here real soon, schools almost over.
Dal and I are watching a movie, he's not paying any attention to it, I can see in the corner of my eye. Dals sitting on the couch  and I'm laying across him with my legs overlapping his lap.
"You ain't watching the movie?" I ask not looking away from it
"I'm looking at something much prettier" he says winking at me, playing with my knees
"Oh stop" I say "I ain't much to look at" I continue
"Oh please, you're gorgeous" he says and I bounce my eyebrow in disagreement
He jumps up and pins me on the couch, "you are beautiful Bambie" he says sternly and I raise an eyebrow, he leans his head down to mine and is an inch, if that! Away from my face. He goes to kiss me, but I wanna have a bit of fun with him, so I turn my face away and close my mouth tightly together
"Bambie" he says and I slip from under him onto the floor laughing and I start running around the room, him running after me, I run upstairs and he's not far from me, I run down the hall and get cornered in but I crawl between his legs and back down the stairs.
"AMBER IM GONNA GET YOU" he calls out and I laugh
"No you won't slow poke" I squeal and jump back onto the couch, he's above me once again like before and I kiss him, for a few moments and this time I let him in.
"Ehh em" says Johnny in the doorway, looking at us with an eyebrow raised, Pony just coughs and laughed a little.
We sit down and Johnny and Pony join us, we turn on the tv and start watching a random movie, I wasn't paying attention though, Dally held my hand and I put my head on his shoulder.

An hour later, Dal stands up and looks at me
"C'mon lets go somewhere" he says and I stand up
"Where y'all going?" Asks Johnny
"I don't know Bucks?" Dal asks me
"Yeah sure" I've always loved dancing to the music at Bucks, I don't drink I just dance and have fun with my friend Kate. But this night will probably be different cause now I live there and can drink if I want to.
Dal and I walk to bucks and go inside and sit at the bar,
"Hey bucky" I say
"Hey Kid" He says back
"You want a beer this time?" Buck Asks me, I always turned down bucks beer, dal never knew I came here so he looked at
"What'd ya mean 'this time'?" He asks
"Well, I've been coming to bucks and danced every Friday night or so, I don't usually drink" I say and dals jaw dropped
"Amber Cade, you really aren't what your brother thinks you are" Dal says and laughs
"Two beer" I say
"WOOHOO we're getting somewhere" Buck says opening the two beer, I laugh and take the beer, the gross taste almost burns on my tongue yet it's sweet and asking me to drink some more so I take another sip
"Take it easy kid" Dal says laughing, I fake laugh at him and we go dance in the already  crowded bar.
A slower song came on and most of the greasers started dirty dancing, dal looks at me and I shake my head, I'm not dirty dancing. He puts his arms around my waist and I reach my arms up around his neck, and we slowly dance to the song, I go in closer to dal and rest my head into his chest, he nuzzles his nose into my hair and we keep swaying, the song ends and we walk back over to Buck whose gone all googly eyed at us, with his hands together, Buck awes, dal takes another sip of his half empty beer, I take a sip too.
We dance for a few hours have some drinks and go to sleep, and that's all we did was sleep.

"COME HERE YOU LITTLE BITCH" screamed my dad holding his belt, I keep walking away but he gets closer and closer.
"No please" I whimper
He hits me with his belt and my mother laughs in the background
He whips me once again and I feel the tears running down my cheeks as I try to regain my breathing.
My dad throws his belt across the room and picks me up by the arms, it's hurts a lot. He gets in my face and screams "I HATE YOU" he throws me down and kicks my stomach
"PLEASE STOP" I scream
~~~~~~
"AMBER" Dallas yelled, I was having a nightmare.
