♡♡♡

I wake up around dawn. I look around Pony and Soda's room and find a paper and pencil. I write this on the paper:

Hey Ponyboy.

Thank you and your brothers for the hospitality. It was amazing. Also, thank you for being so kind.

I woke up around dawn, and I'm going back to my house to have breakfast. I'll see you later.

-Lakelyn Morris. ♡

I quickly leave the Curtis house and walk home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the time I get home, it's 9 in the morning. Walking to the other side of town sucks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walk inside to my maid, Jenna, setting out breakfast. I smile and tell her, "Goodmorning." She smiles and asks, "What would you like, Miss. Lakelyn?" I answer, "Whatever Marcia is having." Jenna answers, "Okay, Miss." I go to change into some comfy clothes and brush my hair. I go back downstairs and my food is waiting for me. There's avocado toast, cheesy eggs, and some coffee.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as I finish breakfast, I go into my room. I watch the television for awhile. Marcia walks into my room and says, "Bob's funeral is today. Do you want to go?" I answer, "No, but it's the respectful thing to do." She says, "We've got 2 hours until it's time to leave." I decide to put on a black skirt and black and white polka dot top, with white heels.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The funeral was pretty basic, nothing special about it. Cherry was there. She was a sobbing mess. I feel really bad for her, even if Bob was asking for it. Randy looked like he was crying, but I couldn't tell. Marcia and I sat at the front next to Cherry and Bob's family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as the funeral was over, I
headed towards the Curtis house. I knock on the door and Sodapop answers. He says, "Oh, hey, Lakelyn!" I say, "Hi, Soda." He welcomes me in and Ponyboy runs to see me. He gives me a hug and I sit on the couch and watch Mickey with Two-Bit for a while. Darry comes into the room and asks me if I can stay and watch the house while they go to a 'rumble.' I have no idea what a rumble is, but I agree to stay there until they get back, anyways.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After almost an hour, all of the boys come back. All of them, except for Ponyboy and Dally. Everyone is bruised and bloody, and I help aid everyone. I get a cotton ball for Darry's hand, and a wrap for his face. I get some ice for Soda's face and leg, and I help Steve get all of the blood running out of his nose. After everyone is situated, Ponyboy walks inside. Darry says, "Hey Pony! Where ya been?" I see that Ponyboy looks sadder than normal, so I ask, "Hey, Pony, are you alright?" He stares ahead, blankly, and says, "Johnny's dead." I gasp and stare at Ponyboy. He said, "I told him about beating the socs, and he just died. He told me to stay gold. Then he just died." I walk over to him and give him a hug. Tears well up in my eyes, and we begin to cry together. He pulls away and, between tears, he says, "Dally's gone. He couldn't take it. He's gonna blow!" I know how Dallas can get. I've seen it. It's not good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about 15 minutes, the phone rings. I answer it and say, "Hello?" Dally says, "Lakelyn?" I answer, "Yeah?" He says, "I need to talk to Darry." I say, "Okay." and quickly hand Darry the phone. Darry hangs up and shouts, "That was Dally. The cops are after him, we have to hide him!" Oh my god. I never would have thought I would be involved in something like this. I ask, "Where is he?" Darry says, "He said to meet him at the park. We need to go, now!" We all run out the door and towards the park.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right as we get to the park, I hear Dally yell, "You're never going to get me alive!" as he pulls out a gun.

Before he can shoot, he gets shot.

He gets shot 4 times.

With each gunshot, he goes down even more.

I hear Two-Bit scream, "He's just a kid!" I yell, "No! Dallas!" Everyone is screaming.

We get to Dally, and he weakly says, "Ponyb-"

Steve shouts, "His gun is fake!" Darry yells, "You stupid idiots! You stupid fucks!"

Dally is covered in blood, and I remember hitting the ground, but I don't remember the pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~2 days later.~~~~~~~~~~~

I begin telling the story about how Bob and Randy got drunk, so Marcia, Cherry, and I ditched them. Marcia talked about the movies and then Bob and Randy trying to fight Two-Bit, while Cherry talked about Bob's murder. Ponyboy was found not guilty, and got to stay with Darry.

I jumped up and hugged him. He says, "Thank you, Lakelyn, for everything you've done." I reply, "No problem."

Pony and I walk out of the courthouse. We're on the steps when he says, "Lakelyn, you've helped me get through a lot of tough times. I want to thank you for that and for being so nice to me." I giggle and reply, "It's no problem! How do you want to thank me?" He grins and his lips touch mine. I accidentally moan into the kiss and Pony pulls away to smile. I wrap my hands behind his neck and I press my lips to his. We kept kissing until we heard Two yell, "Darry! Ponyboy's makin' out with Lakelyn!" We pull away and both laugh. Pony says, "So, since we did that, do you want to be my girl?" I say, almost immediately, "Of course!" He gives me a quick kiss on the lips again and we begin to walk back to the Curtis house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~The End.~~~~~~~~~~~~~
