Dallas's Little Sister

Why do you care?

Sophie's POV

I heard beeping. An annoying beeping may I add. I groaned and covered my eyes from the blinding light above me.

"Oh thank god you're awake" I felt someone grab my hand. I opened my eyes and saw the gang around me, but not Johnny.

"Johnny..wher-" I was stopped by Soda

"He's ok, a couple broken ribs and concussion but other then that he's fine"

I sighed in relief and laid back. I looked at Dally who no longer held anger and hardness in his eyes, but sorrow and sadness. I grabbed his hand and smiled.

"I'm fine. I think. Am I ok?" Two-Bit nodded.

"Yea just a couple bruises and busted lip" I looked at Darry who stood in the doorway looking at me. He turned around and walked out saying he's going to Johnny's room. The gang followed except Dallas.

"If you were smart like me you wouldn't here. If Johnny was smart like me he wouldn't be in this mess" He seemed angry but I couldn't tell because his face held a bunch of emotions at once.

"I'm just glad you're ok" I rolled my eyes.

"Why do you care? You didn't seem to care about me for the past 6 years when you left me with mom and dad. You never even visted! So why would you care now!? Out of all the times to care!" I don't know where this sudden burst of anger came from, but I couldn't stop. The words just flowed out of my mouth like a damn river. Dally glared at me and stood up

"I do care! I've always cared"

"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE ME FROM THOSE GOD DAMN MONSTERS!" My head was pounding but I could care less at this moment.

"I tried! Mom got a fucking restraining order against me after finding out all the things I've done and caused! Do you know how many times I drove past the house wishing I could go in and get you! How many times I heard dad yelling at you! No you don't! So you have zero right to be mad at me! I've finally got you back and I'm not going to let anyone take you away from me!"

I sat there not able to make eye contact with him. I had no idea my mother did that. God she makes me want to rip her throat out. I should have before I ran.  Dallas scuffed and walked out. I rolled my eyes and laid down. Soft footsteps made there way to my bed.

"Hey wassup Soph" Sodapops brown eyes sparkled in the sunlight that was beaming through the blinds.

"Nothing much Soda" I scooted over and made room for him. He gladly sat down and slung his arm over my shoulders.

"I heard you and Dally fighting. I'm sorry about what your parents did to you" I looked at my hands not knowing what to say. I haven't told anyone about my parents and the abuse they threw at me.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought it up" I looked up at him. He didn't have his usual happy face it was now covered by sadness.

"No it's ok really I don't mind" I smiled at him. He gave me a slight smile back. We stared into each others eyes. Gosh is he gorgeous.  I felt him lean in a little, my stomach erupted in butterflies. If Dally knew what we were about to do right now I think he'd might just blow.

Our faces were centimeters away. I could feel his hot break on my face and that just made me more eager for him. His lips met mine. He put his hand on my neck and pulled me closer. Our tongues danced with each other like there was no tomorrow. I pulled back and just looked at him.

"I-I'm sorry" He stood up fast and didn't look at me.

"It's ok Soda, just the heat of the moment right?" I laughed a little. I still felt strong feelings for Pony and never really thought of Sodapop that way so I didn't know what to do. Soda was about to say something when Pony and Steve walked in.

"Hey Johnny's awake and is asking for you" I smiled and stood up. I grabbed the pole thing I was hooked up to and walked slowly to his room. When I entered my heart shattered. Johnny's face was badly cut and bruised. His lip was busted and his eyebrow had a bandage on it. He smiled brightly when he saw me.

"My god Johnny I'm so sorry" He shook his head and knit his eyebrows together.

"For what? How were you suppose to know those dirty socs were gon' jump us. It's alright" I didn't understand how he was so happy. Pony told me Johnny got jumped a while ago and hasn't been the same since. So why was he so jolly.

"I'm just glad you're ok" I sat down next to his bed. He grabbed my hand and smiled. Dally cleared his throat and Johnny instantly let go.

"When can I leave?" Dal shrugged and didn't look at me. I'll admit I felt horrible for yelling at him the way I did. But how can he be mad when I didn't know my mom did that.

"I think the doctor said tomorrow after noon, they wanna keep you here one more night just in case" I nodded and stood up

"I'm tired and my head hurts goodbye" I walked out and back to my room and climbed on the bed. Soda came in and smiled slightly.

"Hey a-about earlier" He scratched his neck in nervousness. I felt my cheeks heat up at the mention.

"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me with it. I just hope it doesn't make things awkward between us" I smiled at him and shook my head.

"A) its not your fault we both participated in it B) Nah we're good" He let out a sigh and smiled.

"Good!" His jolly face was back and it made me happy to see it.  Pony boy walked in and smiled. His hands were in his front pockets of his jeans and he kind of stood with a slouch. What am I saying they all do besides Soda.

"Hey Ponyboy!" I smiled widely at him. Soda left leaving me and Pony alone. I made a spot for Pony, he climbed in and wrapped his arms around me. I felt a feeling I've never felt before. It was a good feeling. It made me smile and snuggle into him. My eyes became heavy and I eventually slipped into a peaceful abyss of darkness.
