I was running, my lungs burned, my legs ached. But I kept running, my face felt cold and my body went numb with the sharp wind nipping at my skin while tears slipped down my face. I saw Buck's down the street; I didn't slow down until I reached the door. Frantically I started knocking until a tall man with dark hair and a blank stare opened the door. "What do you want kid?" He snapped. I breathed in shakily "I need Dallas, Dally Winston? Is he here?" He paused and sighed, "listen kids like you shouldn't be in a place like this, but you seem upset. he's upstairs to the left just go straight up and don't talk to nobody got it?" I nodded silently, wiping my tears. He opened the door fully and I slipped by. I climbed up the stairs maneuvering myself around the crowds of drunk people. I reached Dal's door, knocking quietly I called out "Dal?" I said timidly. I heard a clutter, a groan, and a slur of crude words. Then Dallas swung open the door with no shirt and bedhead, squinting his eyes as he adjusted to the lights he looked at me. "(Y/N) what the fuck are ya doin here?" He said grabbing my arm pulling me in, he was about to shut his door and he peered down the hallway checking if anyone had followed. He shut the door when he found no one. He swiftly turned and looked at me clearly now, wind blown hair, red nose, flushed cheeks stained with tears, and swollen lips. He sighed pulling me to his bed, he sat me down. He walked to his leather jacket grabbing it and the cigarettes and lighter inside. He lit the cig and swung the jacket over my shoulders. "What's up doll?" He muttered rubbing his eyes.
I let out a shaky breath, my dad had been beatin on me again. "How can you hate someone so much yet love em even more?" I muttered as I looked down. I heard him sigh and smelt the smoke. He grabbed my shaky hand and laced his fingers in mine. I started crying harder. "Oh come on now." He said uncomfortable, "what do you want me to do doll face? beat his face in?" I looked up and got a good look at his face which was laced with an expression I couldn't quite put my finger on. "Please don't leave me" I whispered, hugging him. He pulled me closer, stiffly might I add. He held me for a good while before I finally fell asleep in his embrace.

I opened my eyes and looked up in confusion at the unfamiliar ceiling. I sat for a second looking around before my eyes met dallas Winston's soft expression as he slept. I suddenly remembered all that had transpired. I sighed and pushed myself into his body's warmth. he pulled me closer in his sleep. I shut my eyes eyes enjoyed the silence for a few minutes before Dal awoke. I lifted my head, meeting his eyes, I whispered "hey." His expression softened and so did his grip "hey, sleep well sleeping beauty?" he teased. I smiled "hey I woke up before you buttercup." he snickered, we got up and ready in silence. I stopped and pondered something for a moment, "dally?" I muttered. He looked at me "yea?" he said raising an eyebrow. "Not that I don't appreciate it but why'd you comfort me? Could've kicked me to the streets or told me to go home, but ya didn't." I said looking down, my shoelaces had become real interesting I guess. I heard a mutter and I sigh. I peeked up and saw his clenched fist and jaw and I got scared. Suddenly Dal swiftly turned to face the opposite way from me. "Because I love ya goddamnit now drop it. Let's go to the curtis house." He snapped. My heart skipped a beat and I smiled, standing up I nodded. "Ok Dal." I said, I walked up behind him and grabbed his hand. he didn't pull away, instead he gripped my hand tighter. Smiling softly we both walked hand in hand to the curtis gang.
