Dallas Winston's Little Sister (Discontinued)

Chapter 12

Austin's POV

Nightmare (Basically when her dad beat her just Dallas)

I woke up to a sharp pain in my side. Dallas again. He had the baseball bat in his hand again. I did the best I could to sit up, The pain was excruciating. He punched me in the face I fell back in bed.

"You worthless piece of shit! I wish you would have died, not mom! She didn't deserve to die! You're just a waist of space! No one will ever love you! I never did! And I know I never will! You should go ahead and kill yourself now!" he yelled at me. 

"You're wrong! People do love me! Just because you don't have a heart doesn't mean other people don't!" I yelled back at him.

He punched me a few more times. He stopped just long enough for me to get away. When I got away I suddenly felt a push. I fell down two flights of stairs. I hit my head against the wall and blacked out.

End of Nightmare 

 "Austin! Wake up! Austin!" I heard someone telling me as I was being shaken. I could feel my heart racing, sweating, and I knew I was breathing very fast. I was In pain though. I still did have those 5 broken ribs. My eyes shot open and I started panting fast. I then realized that there were 5 boys standing around the bed and Ponyboy was still in bed with me. Two off the other boys were Sodapop and Darry. 

"Are you ok? What were you dreaming about?" Pony asked me. My breath slowed down and I was trying to be calm. I didn't really work.

"I-It was th-that night. When my d-dad beat me. B-but it wasn't my dad." I started to cry. Pony pulled me closer to him. The other guys got the message to leave the room. I buried my face in Pony's chest and cried. 

"Shh. It's ok. Calm down. They ain't going to get you anymore. I'm right here. Who was it if it wasn't your dad?" he asked me. I lifted my head and looked at him. He had a sympathetic smile on his face.

"Dallas." I said strait forward. He pulled me closer and I started to cry again. I'm glad Pony is here. I'm glad that he cares. Or at least acts like it. I felt his hands pet the top of my head, it was relaxing. 

"Hey he would never do that. Sure he can be mean sometimes, but he would never hurt you like that. He loves you more than you will ever know. Neither him or me would ever let anyone ever do that to you again." he told me. I think I'm falling for Pony even more. He just basically told me that he was going to protect me forever. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and said,

"Thanks Pony. That really means a lot to me." He just pulled my closer to him and we laid there hugging for a while. All of a sudden he pulled away and looked at me.

"You sure you still want to talk to Dallas. You can do it another day if you want to. We still have time to get you outta here." he told me. I need to face my problems. I can't keep hiding form him every time I have a nightmare.

"No I can do it. I can't stay away from him just because of some nightmare. And if what you said is true that he won't hurt me, there should be no problems." I told him. He just nodded and got up. before he reached the door he turned around.

"I'll be in the living room. If you need anything just come get me. I'll send Dallas in here once he gets here, ok?" I nodded and he walked out.

Ponyboy's POV

Austin is a tough girl. If I was her I wouldn't want to see Dallas after that for a few days. I'm going to talk to Dallas before I send him in there or even tell him she's here. He needs to know. If the other guys ask I'll tell them, but I'm not going to bring it up right now. I told the guys not to mention to him that Austin was here. They all agreed that that would be what's best.

Dallas's POV

I was walking to the Curtis house. I still haven't found Austin. After she left I went looking for her, I just want to make sure she's ok. I didn't mean what I said last night. I want to kill that man for beating her. Maybe I'll ask some of the guys today to help me look for her. She's real tough for someone like her. I mean she's real small, all skin and bones. She got a nice body though. If we weren't related, I'd date her. I know that's wrong but now that I know who she is I would never do anything like that. I can't believe that I think of my sister as hot. Now that I'm actually saying that in my mind it's gross. I need to stop thinking about that. 

When I walked into the Curtis house all eyes were on me. Probably still from what happened yesterday. I really don't want to talk about it right now. 

Ponyboy's POV

Dallas just walked in. The room was silent. I don't think any of the guys knew what to do.

"What? Don't let me disturb all of you." he said as he went to the kitchen. This was my time to go talk to him. I got up and walked tot he kitchen. He was looking through the fridge. 

"Hey umm Dally? Can I talk to you outside?" I asked him. He looked surprised.

"Uhh sure kid. But I ain't talking 'bout yesterday." he told me. I nodded and we walked outside.

"So umm I know you said you didn't want to talk about yesterday, but umm... I ran into Austin at the park yesterday after you guys both stormed out. We talked for a while."

"Oh. Umm how is she? Did she tell you where she is staying? I was going to ask you guys later to help me look for her." he said. Well at least he was going to look for her.

"Um yeah. I offered for her to sleep here last night. She's in my room." I told him. He started to go back in the house before I grabbed him.

"What the hell kid. Let me see my sister." he said getting angry.

"There is one more thing you should know." I told him.

"Man I swear if you're going to tell me that you screwed my sister, you should start running now." 

"What no! We didn't do anything last night." -- he looked relieved-- "Look she had a really bad nightmare, Dal. She was screaming bloody murder." I told him. He looked worried.

"Well... what was it about?" 

"It was that night that her dad beat her. The reason she's here. But she said it wasn't her dad."

"Well who was it?" 

"You Dal. You were beating her." He looked really taken back by what I just said. "Look, I didn't tell you this to make you feel bad. I told you because I wanted you to know before you go in there and do something that'll scare her. She wants to talk to you." I told him. He nodded and patted me on the back. That's kind of his way of saying thanks.

 We both walked back inside and all eyes were on us. I nodded at the guys and they all looked relieved. What were they worried about? I heard him walk to my room and then I heard the door close. I hope everything goes good in there.
