Opposites attract - Dally Winston

Chapter 55:

"Who are you?" she asks bitterly.

"Gracie" Dallas says as he rushes past Sandy and over to me.

I couldn't believe it.

He tried to reach out for me, but I slapped his hand away.

I was betrayed again.

I remember when Sandy was pregnant, and I looked down at her belly, but there was no bump.

She's pregnant again... with Dally's baby.

I could hear my heart physically snap in half as I storm out of his room and down the stairs.

I ignore his screaming calls as he chases after me.

The screaming all blurs, and my eyes are cloudy so I can't see properly.

His screaming calls of my name were muffled as I slammed Buck's door shut behind me, and ran as fast as I could to get away from him.

I was so confused, but all I knew is that Dallas cheated on me.

And that's what drove me to the edge.

I couldn't collect my thoughts because I couldn't think.

I couldn't take deep breaths because I couldn't breathe.

I couldn't see far away because there's no future for me.

I knew just where to go to have this all end.

I continue to run with my legs feeling like they are on fire.

I ran all the way to trouble.

Where my trouble could finally be useful.

Where my trouble could finally help me.

I ran all the way to Reid's.

***

Was I surprised when I saw her with Sylvia?

Yes.

Should I have been?

No.

But there they were.

Both Reid and Sylvia, along with the rest of their friends stood huddled around a garbage can.

There were about eight of them in total.

Eight people who all wanted me dead... nine people who all wanted me to die.

They couldn't hear or me or see me because their backs were turned and I had stopped my sniffling and wiped my eyes.

"What are you losers doing? Dumpster diving?" I ask as they all turn around.

A smirk grew on everyone of their faces as Reid let out a chuckle.

"Hey! You must have my money to be showing up here all alone" she says as she takes a step towards me.

Her right jacket was tilted signalling she had something heavy in it.

"No. I don't, I come with something better" I tell her as I cross my arms.

Her eyebrows raise and everyone else looks around at each other.

"Yeah and what's that?" she asks crossing her arms as well.

"Me" I tell her.

Her eyebrows raise even more.

"You're going to let me kill you?" she asks with a sing song voice.

I simply nod my head.

She chuckles, "oh sweetie. Did things with your boyfriend not go as planned?" she asks with a fake pouty face as she puts her right hand in her right pocket.
