Dallas's Little Sister

Hospitalized

Sophie's POV

When we got home from the mall we all sat in the living room around the tv. I was tired from all the walking around we did. It was already 10pm when I decided to go upstairs. I said a quick goodnight and gave Dally a kiss on the cheek before I went to my room. I laid in the bed staring at the ceiling with two things on my mind. Ponyboy Curtis and how Dally would react. I come to terms that I have caught feelings for the blonde headed horseman. I smiled at the name I gave him and closed my eyes. Gosh is he handsome.

I woke up to yet again Pony jumping on the bed. I pulled his leg which made him fall on his back. He bounced a few times then looked at me laughing.

"Mornin gorgeous" He flashed me a smile that made my heart melt.

"Ponyboy you think I'm pretty?" I teased him and got up. His face turned red.  "Now get out so I can change before I turn you into a pretzel"

"Yes MA'AM" He ran downstairs leaving me alone with my thoughts. I smiled at my thoughts of Pony and I together. Dally is never gonna let that happen.

I put on white lululemon shorts I just bought yesterday and a New York gray hoodie. I didn't bother with socks because I was gonna wear slides if we went anywhere. I skipped down the stairs and into the kitchen where Darry was cooking.

"Mornin Superman" I slapped him on the back and snatched a piece of bacon.

"Mornin Soph" He smiled slightly at me. I've never seen Darry smile. Well except for once when Steve fell down the stairs and took Two-Bit and Sodapop out with him last night.

I sat down at the table with Sodapop and Ponyboy. Darry brought the breakfast over to the table and we dug in.

"WOOOOOOEEEEE!" Two-Bit and Steve came barging in through the front door. I looked up at the two and smiled.

"Goodmorning to you to" I chucked bacon at him which he caught and happily ate.  We finished breakfast and sat around the tv waiting for Mickey to come on. I don't know why Two-bit was so obsessed but whatever floats his boat.

"WE SHOULD GO TO THE CLIFF!" Steve suddenly jerked up with a huge smile on his face.

"I don't know if I want my kid sister in a swim suit in front of you pin heads" Dally walked through the door and sat next to Johnny. I rolled my eyes.

"I'd love to go swimming" I smirked at Dally who glared at me.

"So its settled. GET YOUR SUITS ON WE'RE GOING SWIMMING. WOOOOOOYEE!" Two-bit and steve left to I'm assuming their houses. Johnny sat there looking a little scared. I frowned and scooted closer to him.

"What's wrong Jonnycakes?" He looked up at me then down again with a deep sigh.

"I don't own a suit" He kept his eyes on the floor. Dally had told me Johnny's parents couldn't give a damn about him and abuse him. So I'm not all that shocked he doesn't own much of anything.

"I'll buy you one, lets go" I stood up with my hand out. He hesitantly took it and stood up with me.

"Johnny and I are going to the store! Be back in a few" The Curtis's were upstairs putting their trunks on. Dally stood up quick shaking his head.

"Not alone you're not" I crossed my arms and shot him a glare.

"Dallas Tucker Winston I am not a child anymore. I can go wherever I want and with whoever I want. I understand that you're my older brother and want to be protective but turn it down a notch will you" And with that I grabbed Johnny's hand and walked out the door not caring for what Dally had to say.

"Sorry about that Johnny" He shrugged and shoved his hands in his jean jacket pockets. I took a good look at him. His dark hair had a little grease in it today and was styled of to the side but he must have ran his hand through it cause it was a little messy. His cheek was purple and blue like he had recently been punched. Probably by his father. The thought of his parents treating such a sweet kid made my blood boil.

"I like you Johnnycakes. You're a real nice kid. I'm glad I'm your friend" He smiled at me. Not a small smile but a real genuine smile. I slung my arm around his shoulder as we made it to the center of town. We walked into the corner store and bought him a pair of trunks.

"You really didn't have to you know. I could have just sat out" I shook my head and opened the slim jim I had also bought.

"And miss all the fun. No" I smirked at him. We were almost at the edge of the neighborhood when a group of socs came up to us.

"Well look who it is. Sophie Winston" The guy who stood in the middle was bigger than the other soc who tried to pick a fight with me. I gulped and grabbed Johnnys hand.

"You're in our territory pal y-you better watch it" Johnny tried to sound confident but I could tell he was scared.

"No pal you better watch it" A scrawny soc with curly hair piped up. I glared at them and touched my blade which always sat in my sleeves when I went out if I didn't have pockets.

"Lets show these greasers whose boss" They walked closer to us. I panicked and flicked my blade out. The buff guy reached for me but I swung my arm, slicing his pretty deep. He yelped and held his arm.

"Johnny run!"

We tried running but they were faster. Two of them got a hold of Johnny and began punching and kicking him.

"NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!" But they didn't stop. The other two came towards me. One punched me square in the face, making me fall backwards. The big guy sat on my stomach and began throwing punches. I cut his face and stood up fast.  The other one tackled me and went wild. He punched my in the stomach and kicked me in the ribs. I was sure they'd be broken by the end of this. I looked over at Johnny who was motionless.

"HEY! GET OFF OF THEM!!" I sighed in relief at the familiar voice. It was Dally and he was running toward us with the gang. The socs left in a hurry. My whole body hurt and my head was pounding. Dally held me with tears in his eyes.

"No Sophie I'm so sorry. This is my fault I should have gone with you" He moved a piece of hair out of my face. My eyes began to feel heavy. I shook my head and looked at Johnny who was being held by Darry like a bride. He was unconscious.

"Joh-Johnny" I managed to get out before everything went black.
