break my heart again - a dally winston love fanfic

six

i smile as i see two bit chase johnny and pony.

"surprised i'm not seeing you run, elena. you're the type to actually exercise, last time i remember." i roll my eyes as i see dally sit down beside me.

"what's your motive to talk to me, winston? last time you approached me, you used me to make sylvia jealous, is that what you want to do now?" i snap as dally shakes his head and chuckles, making me scoff.

"oh, you still remember that? it feels like it's been a while since we've conversed like this."

"yeah, because last time you let me walk away," i say.

i feel dally become quiet, looking around.

"you seem awfully chipper lately." i scoff loudly as i see dally put his feet across the bench.

"yes of course! i definitely didn't get assaulted yesterday, that's very normal, right? i'm not supposed to be tense about the fact that the boy who broke my heart is acting like a complete asshole? i should definitely apologize for being chipper!" i yell as i walk down, hearing dally laugh.

no matter what, dally's still dally.

i sigh as i run, making it seem as if i was having fun.

but was i?

"elena! come and play football with us!" darry yells as i look over and nod, running towards them.

"just, be careful. we can be a little rough." soda says as i laugh.

"i like rough!" i wink as i hear everyone howl, making me shyly chuckle.

it starts out as a little catch game, mostly steve and soda intimidating me for being short. then, it went to tackling and the regular football routine, until i had an idea.

"steve!" steve looks at me, walking towards me as i smirk.

"go over there and hardly throw the ball at me, but i'll move quickly and it'll end up at dally." i whisper as i hear him laugh. he runs to the back and i run towards dally's direction, making eye contact with him before i turn around, winking at steve. he harshly throws the ball at me as i move over, the ball quickly knocking dally's beer out his hand, making everyone choke out in laughter.

"what the fuck man!" he yells as i laugh, holding my stomach.

"elena, quit playing games!"

"i'm just being awfully chipper!" i wink as he groans.

"let's start heading back, guys." we all nod and start walking back, still laughing. i look over and see dally look annoyed, finally a little taste of his own medicine.

"um, i'll grab my bag and head home, maybe catch later?"

"of course!" i grab my bag and say my goodbyes to everyone, except dally, seeing his bothered and annoyed face, still hot like always though.

as i walk home, i still couldn't help but feel the sadness creep onto me. i actually thought dally was going to at least talk about what happened, or at least make conversation, but that isn't dally winston.

i take a (nervous) deep breath in before opening the door, hearing silence. meaning, parents aren't home.

"mama? papa?" i yell, shrugging my shoulders as i hear no response back. i look around, smiling as i see a family picture of the three of us all together.

i walk to the kitchen, seeing a note on the table.

elena, we went out for the weekend, coming back on monday! there's comida in the fridge and money in the bedroom as well. porfavor, be safe and you better not party around, we'll find out.

- mama & papa

wow, didn't inform before i left?

i roll my eyes as i take a water bottle out of the fridge, running to my room and set the bag down. i sit on my desk chair and smile as i see the small polaroid of me and dally that pony took a while ago.

i wonder what life would be like for me if i hadn't confessed my feelings that night.

would we still fling around?

if only i could take back that night ......
