From the future

chapter 15

~Hallee's POV~
November 8
Tomorrow is Dally's birthday and I still don't know what to get him. Everybody already has their presents except for me and Lexy. "Hey, Lexy wanna go to the store today and get dally a present?"
"Sure." She got up and came over to me "wanna go right now."
"Sure" I said and we walked over to the department store downtown. I decided to get him some new boots and a ring. They were pretty good looking. Lexy got him a new knife and some cigarettes. We we're walking home and some socs in a red car pulled up and cat called us. I turned around and told them to leave us alone . "Why aren't you sassy." One said getting out of the car. I leaned back to Lexy and told her to run and get help. I gave her the bag with Dally's presents in it and she ran as fast as she could but they couldn't catch her and they came back to me. One was already holding me down and saying really creepy things in my ear.

I reached back and grabbed my switchblade and flicked it out. He backed off not wanting to get stabbed. One grabbed my arms and another grabbed my knife out of my hand. He tossed it and pinned me to the ground. "Where's your boyfriend now?" He spit in my face. "Say it don't spray it." I said. One of them said "your hairs really long. Need a haircut?" One cut my neck and forehead. Another one got me right on my eyebrow. I heard Dally yelling and someone tackled the guy on me. They all ran and got in the car and dally through a huge rock at the window of the car.
I just sat there trying to catch my breath. Steve came to me
"Halle, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said wiping the blood out of my eyes.
"Man, your bleeding like a stuck pig" he said.
Dally ran over to me and hugged me. "Halle! Are you okay?"
"Dally, I'm fine." I said kissing his cheek.
"Hey enough about me." I said standing up. "Let's talk about Dally here. My baby's gonna be 18!"
He rolled his eyes. "You'll be 18 in December." I smiled and looked at Lexy. "Dally didn't see his present right?"
"I don't think so."
"A present for me?" Dally said
"I'm gonna get it." He said running ahead.
"No!" I ran after him. We raced to the house and I won. I ran in and grabbed the bag before he could get to it.
"Ha! I win!" I laughed and went upstairs to wrap the present. Then I came back down and cleaned myself up. I came out of the bathroom and Two-bit and Dally were drinking. "Wanna drink baby?" Two-bit slurred. Dally got super defensive and punched him in the face. "Dally! Come on your drunk." I made him go to sleep on the couch and I planned Dally's party with the boys and Lexy.

"Dally, dally come on get up." I said. "What?" He said sleepily. "Dally, it's your birthday! You want some pancakes?" He immediately sat up and I gave him the pancakes and my present. "Aww some new shoes? And a necklace? Thank you!" He said pulling me into a kiss. "Dally there's something else." I said looking at Soda as he walked down the stairs. He winked and I said. "Dally I'm pregnant."
"What?" He stood up shocked
Soda started laughing.
"Dangit soda!" I said laughing
"I was doing good!" 
"What! I missed it?!" Two-bit said walking in.
"Yeah." I laughed "you should've seen the look on his face!"
"Are you kidding?" Dally said
"Yes I'm kidding!" I said still laughing. "I'm not pregnant. It's ok." I said hugging him, he kissed me and said "ok, gosh that was scary" he laughed. "Come on guys!" I said "get Dally's presents!" Everybody came down and we opened presents. Two-bit gave him a Mickey mouse shirt, Sodapop gave him a ring, Darry got him some of his favorite candy, Steve got him a hubcap, Johnny got him a jean jacket and pony got him a shirt. I'd say it was a pretty good day.

We decided to stay the night at bucks and party a little bit. "What's up dally?" Buck said as we walked in. "Just came to party." Dally said. I grabbed his hand and a lot of girls gave me dirty looks, they were jealous and I knew it. "Wanna drink?" Buck said to me as we sat at the bar. "Sure." He passed me a beer. 

That's was the only alcohol I had all night. Dally on the other hand was pretty drunk. "Hey, darlin." Dally slurred " I have a girlfriend, but your really cute. Sssssshhhh." He giggled "don't tell." I laughed "come on Dally." I led him to his room and he passed cold.
"Dangit." I said he was so close.
I dragged him to the bed and put him on it. Then I took off his jacket and shoes and laid down next to him.
