I Hate You More

Chapter Twenty Nine: Stay Gold

I continued walking and made my way back to dallys room. Two and Ponyboy were in there now talking with dally. "Do it for Johnny man!" Dally yelled. He turned away from them and put his head down. I walked over to him and sat down by him.
"Baby you'll be okay." I said looking into his gorgeous brown eyes.
"But what about Johnny?" Dally looked up at me. I stared at his face and watched as a single tear slid down his face.
"I can't promise anything love but Johnny would want you to stay strong. I mean you did just say do it for Johnny. Well if you don't do it for me and the baby do it for Johnny okay. He would want you to stay around." I said grabbing his hand.
He stared into my eyes and sat up a bit. He pulled my face closer to his and connected our foreheads. "Baby girl I'm always doing it for you. There's times where life just gets so hard but all I have to do is think of your perfect face and everything gets better." He then got rid of the space between us and kissed me. "God I love you so much." He said pulling away from me.
"I love you too." I smiled.
"We have to go but we'll be back after the rumble." Two said as they walked out. I seen Dallys evil grin form on his face after the two of them walked away.
"What are you thinking?" I asked already nervous to hear the answer he has planned.
"I'm going to do it for Johnny." He said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked very confused.
"I'm going to get even with those socs. I'm going to make them pay for sending bob after pony and Johnny. I'm going to win that rumble." He said with an evil sparkle glimmering in his eyes.
"Dal your hurt." I said hoping it'd make him change his mind but by now I know that A rumble ain't a rumble without Dally.
"And so is Johnny." He sat up.
"Dally your going to end up dead." I said louder than usual.
He must've noticed I was upset, "sweetheart it'll be okay alright I've been in plenty of fights I only have a slight burn on my arm." He moves closer to me. "Please just let me do this." He said holding both of my hands.
"Well I can't stop you, but" I stopped for a second and looked down, "you better kick their asses." I smiled causing him to jump up.
He ran out of the room, "Dal it doesn't start for another three hours!" I yell chasing after him until I notified he wasn't going anywhere just yet. He stopped in his tracks and turned into Johnny's room. He soon got pushed out by Johnnys nurse and got pushed all the way back into his room. I stood there and looked at him. He looked broken. I moved quickly over to him and wrapped my arms around him in a tight embrace.
"He's not doing well." Dally said blankly.
"It's okay to cry Dal." I said.
"All because of Bob and randy." He yelled.
"Well bobs dead now." I said.
"Yeah I know but it's still his fault!" He let a single tear fall once again. "I could've helped." He said.
"You did all you could." I mentioned.
"Yeah and I brought them to the place that could've killed Johnny." He stated.
"You can't blame yourself you didn't know this would've happened." I looked at him.
"I should've been the one in the church." He cried.
"No Dally you did all you could you stayed safe for me and our baby." I cried out.
"He doesn't deserve to die." He put his head on my shoulder.
"No he really doesn't he's so pure and light." I said. "I remember the time at the lake house when he ratted us out for kissing in the kitchen." I smiled.
"Well you weren't there but I remember when I first met Johnny. I acted tuffer than I do now and that made him smile. I was his role model. And I'm just figuring this out!" He laughed a little.
"I remember first talking to Johnny. He was so shy until you came in." I rolled my eyes.
"What's the matter Baby?" He mockingly said.
"Well back then I hated you so it kind of frustrates me when you walked in." I laughed. "But I love you now." I smiled.
"I hope you do." He laughed.

Three hours later-
"So you still wanna go?" I said sadly looking at Dally throw on his jacket still wearing no shirt.
"Yea I really do." He said.
"Then I guess I'll let you go." I said jokingly.
"Thanks baby." And with that he ran off.

Dallys p.o.v-
I was running as fast as I could to the park where the rumble was taking place. I seen the greasers lined up against the socs and it looked like they were discussing something. I ran down the hill, "don't you know a rumble ain't a rumble without me?" I yelled causing Ponyboy to get punch to the ground.
I seen people everywhere fighting. I ran over to this one socs who was fighting pony and threw him onto the ground. Another socs came and tried to fight me but I knocked them out cold.
It was really easy fighting these socs they are never used to get this level of beaten up cause typically their drunk and feel nothing. All of the sudden I seen socs starting to run. I punched one for the last time before they all ran off.
Everyone started to cheer, "WE WON!" But I couldn't focus on winning I had to find pony. I ran across the field to see a Darry trying to comfort him. I took him and dragged him up the hill and got in some random car. "We gotta go see Johnny." I said putting him in the passenger side. I hoped over and got into the driver's seat and sped off. I learned how to steal cars a long time ago. "Ya know I was so worried for Johnny back there I didn't want him to end up in jail like did. Jail changes you man. It makes you tough and I didn't want Johnny to see that. You have to get smart and look out for yourself. If he was smart like me he wouldn't of gone in the church if he was smart like me he wouldn't be in the mess. You have to get tough and watch out for yourself and nothing nothing can touch you man!" I yelled to pony. I began to cry. I never really cry. Ever since a young age I was forced to be tough and that's just who I am.
Not so longer later I seen flashing lights. I pulled over and a cop came up to me. "Did you know you were speeding?"they asked.
"Yes but I have to get him to the hospital he fell off of his bike." I said liking kvsr at the fairly beaten up pony.
"Oh Jesus here I'll escort you." The cop said getting back in his car and going in front of us.
"Sucker!" I said speeding after the cop.
We pulled into the hospital and ran to johnny's room. Cali was already there with him and talking to him waiting for us. "We won the fight Johnny. We beat the socs right off of our territory." I said happily.
"There's no use." He said sadly.
"I'm proud of you the whole gang is." I smiled. He smiled too. He wanted me to be proud of him. That's what he waited for.
Pony walked up to him, "stay gold Ponyboy stay gold." And with that his eyes closed. What is that supposed to mean.
"Come on Johnny Dont die!" I cry. I ran out of the room with Cali following me.
"Dallas wait!" She yelled at me but I dint stop running.
