A few weeks ago Dally and I were like very very close, like cuddling talk everyday, like if we were a couple but we never kissed, which would get me annoyed cause I really really like him a lot. The only thing is that after we ate the dingos together, he has been very distant. Like I talk to him once a week and when I talk to him he's just like being all tuff and cool, he isn't really like him self and I miss him so much. I swear he was like my boyfriend but not.

If he wasn't with me he would be at bucks or at his friends house so I'm going to try going to bucks first cause I want to hangout with him a bit.

☪︎

I walked into bucks and it wasn't as busy so I went straight to but

"Hey Lea, haven't seen you in a while" buck smiled

"Hi, is he here?" I asked buck

"Nope, haven't seen him since yesterday night at the party" he shook his head and I sighed

"By any chance do you know where his friends house is?" I asked him

"The Curtis house?" He questioned and I nodded "yeah just take these directions and you'll get there easy" he wrote on a piece of a paper the address and directions. "He hasn't been his self in a while I don't know what happened but he's been acting like his old self"

"How was his old self?" I asked him

"It wasn't someone you would like as much" he sighed,

"I'll just go uh check on him, talk to him you know" I put my hair behind my ear and he nodded

"New Dallas was good, old Dallas is just scary, I'm not scared but he can hurt your feelings real bad, he pushes the people he cares about away" I nodded and walked out

"Thanks buck" I grinned he gave eme and nod and smiled

☪︎

I got to a small White House it had a beat up fence but it looked homey. I knocked on the door and then this guy answered it. He was tall was wearing a muscle t-shirt and he looked like he was in his 20s.

"Hi how my I help you?" He asked me nicely

"Hi I'm Nailea, one of Dally's Um friends I guess, and I was wondering if he was here?" I asked sweetly

"Yeah of course come in, Dal isn't here yet he just called and said he was walking over, you can say inside and wait for him"

"That would be great, thanks" I smiled and walked into the house

"Oh um I'm Darrel but everyone calls me Darry" he shook my hand

"I'm Nailea but you can call me nai or Lea" I nodded and he smiled

"Nice to meet you Lea"

"Same to you" I grinned, "these steps the rest of Dally's friends, my 2 kid brothers Sodapop and Ponyboy, then Steve, Johnny and two-bit" he pointed and they all waved at me

"Hi I'm Nailea, you guys can call me Nai or Lea" I grinned, they didn't look that bad, I mean they were attractive yes but I like Dally a lot more. I sat down on the couch awkwardly cause I don't know anyone.

"So how did you know Dal?" Soda asked me, he and golden hair and ocean blue eyes with a perfectmovie star smile

"We met a while ago in New York then he moved here and I found him and we've been getting close and we'll he hasn't really talked to me for the past few weeks and I'm worried about him"

"So your the girl who's makin dal smile and laugh" two-bit nodded and smiled

"Yeah I guess i am" I felt my cheeks get hot

"He really changed with you, got nicer, a lot nicer, isn't much of a dick" Steve nodded

"I think he's real sweet and caring"

"You've got the hots for him huh?" Johnny asked me

"I've liked him since we first met, and I like him even more now cause we got closer and I don't know he kinda has been avoiding me lately and it just doesn't feel right" I explained to them and they nodded

☪︎

I got to know the 6 boys a lot better, they were really kind, and I honestly think I could be good friends with them.

A few minutes later we all heard the door open and close.

"That must be him" Ponyboy grinned, I stood up and felt my heart beat faster, but it stopped beating when he came into the room

"Nailea What are you doing here?" His arm was around this red head chick, I felt like there was a knot in stomach and I couldn't speak, my nose started stinging.

"Who's she?" The chick eyed me

"I'm going to go" I gulped and tried not to cry

"Nai, Whats wrong?" He asked stopping me

"Nothing," I shook my head

"Nai,"

"I'll be back, i forgot something I was going to give you at home" I walked out of the house and went home. I felt tears run down my cheek, I really liked him, I wanted to be with him, but he clearly doesn't want to be with me.

☪︎

I grabbed the leather jacket that he gave me and I put all his rings and dog tags in the pockets. I grabbed some pictures we too and also put them in the pockets. I couldn't stop crying, it felt like a break up but it really wasn't.

Once I had his old leather jacket ready I went back to the Curtis House which wasn't far from mine.

☪︎

I knocked on the door and Ponyboy answered it

"Hey Lea, why you crying?" He asked me

"N-Nothing" I sniffled and entered the house, I wiped my remeses away before I went into the living room,

"What ya bring me doll?" He smirked as his red head cuddled into his side

"Here's your stupid leather jacket," I tried keeping my voice steady and I tried not to cry, "I don't wa-nt it" I stuttered

"What you mean?" He held out the jacket for him to take

"Take the jacket I don't want it" a tear rolled down my cheek but I wiped it away quickly

"Nai What I do?"

"Don't make this any harder and take it, just t-take it" He took it "sorry for disturbing you guys," I left the house

"Nai-" I slammed the door and left as tears ran down my cheeks.

"Nailea!" I heard Dallas say coming up to me, "What the fuck was that?!" He yelled

"You could have told me you didn't like me instead of lead me on, I thought we had something real but I see these past few weeks have changed for you"

"Nai"

"Save it, I don't want to hear it, I liked you, a lot, I probably fucking loved you at this point but you clearly don't, so I'll just get out of the way, and let you love your fucking life, and I'll love my horrible one," I walked away and I just went home.

It hurts like hell when you love someone but they don't love you back.
