break my heart again - a dally winston love fanfic

nine

i silently and confusingly stare at the tv, which is playing mickey mouse, while everyone around me seems perfectly fine. last night's memories come blurring through me making me slightly cringe.

dally's painful words make me wanna cry.

"hey yo, elena? you alright?" two bit pinches my thigh making me wince and hit his chest.

"ow! and yes, i'm alright. just thinking, like any other normal person does." i say as i smile.

"mhm. wanna come to the drive inn with kathy and later? i mean you probably don't have nothing to do so ..... " i shake my head.

"i don't wanna third wheel, keith. plus, i know mama and papa are coming home later, i don't want to get in trouble." i sadly sigh as i look over at the door, seeing a sober dally walk in making me sit up.

from the corner of my eye i see two bit glance at me and dally while dally turns to me, smirking.

"i don't remember anything that happened last night .... so can ya tell me?" wow, didn't remember anything? he's gotta be kidding.

"well, you almost cheated on sylvia, but i stopped you. and i put you to bed, simple." i sarcastically smile and walk into the kitchen, seeing pony stare at his books, his brows furrowed in concentration.

"nah, something happened, i sense it-"

"since when you were a witch, winston? nothing happened, alright? drop it." i harshly say as i walk to him. i see him take a step back, as if my words hit him hard.

"damn doll, hold your horses, don't go all bad guy on me, okay? just asking a question, that's all." i nod before sitting on the chair next to pony, looking over his shoulder.

"whatcha' studying for this time?" i breath.

"uh, history. our teacher wants us to learn about the mexican-american war." pony says as i nod, sitting down while looking over, seeing dally lean against the wall.

"i hope your teacher is teaching you the correct history, not just one side. the mexicans are judged but many people don't know half of these states were originally from mexico's land." i say as i look up, seeing pony and dally listen to my words.

"you studied this topic before?"

"of course, ponyboy! i always wanted to know where i come from, my descent you know. being spanish and mexican means i have plenty of information to learn about." i smile as pony nods, clicking his tongue.

"is there any way .... you could possibly help me sometime learn about mexican culture? i mean ... it sounds interesting and is something underrated." pony shrugs his shoulders as i quickly nod, widely smiling.

"i'd love to, pony. come to me anytime!" i beam as i stand up, seeing dally slightly curve his lips.

"why ya smiling for, dallas? maybe you should learn history soon, since after all you did drop out." i clap as i walk past him, bumping into his shoulder.

"maybe i should, elena. maybe i can ... come to you." i gasp as i turn around and see dally cross his arms and smirk, winking making me shake my head. although i hate to admit, i wanted to smile so bad.

"you're disgusting." i hiss as i walk to the living room, throwing myself on the couch.

"i'm soooooo bored it's pathetic! and we can't even mess around or else darry will be on our asses!" i complain as i throw my feet over two's lap, who was all concentrated on mickey mouse.

"so, who cares what darry says? i say, fuck it and let's go out." dally huffs as i bite my lip.

should i listen to dally? i mean, it's weird hanging with the boy you had a fling with, right?

"i don't know dal .... "

"aw c'mon el! don't such a wuss, we ain't looking for trouble, just going to have a friends night out." dally says as i look up at him.

"i thought that was last night .... " i stand up and open the door, sitting on the chair.

"yea but i was drunk and ba-"

"dally, what do you want from me? are you wondering something, because you ignored me for the past year completely and now all of a sudden wanna be bestfriends? it doesn't work like that for you, winston! i know you very well and know your tricks." i yell as i see him take a cigarette out and light it up.

he doesn't say anything, just look off into the air, ignoring me just like he did before.

"i shouldn't of loved you last year, but i couldn't helped it. you had ... an effect on me, and i don't know what it was, but it's c-coming back and i don't want it to come back." i slowly say as i look over, seeing dally look up and stare of into the distance, again.

he stands up and hovers above me, making me look up at him confusingly.

"kiss me." dally says as i stand up, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

"i'm sorry what?"

"i said kiss me." i shake my head and start to part away until he yanks my arm and kisses me, making me melt right there in there. mentally, i punch myself for falling for him, but i cover it up before wrapping my arms around his neck.

as the kiss was deeping, a clap interrupts making me pull away quickly.

"well, well, well. not only are you an attention seeker, you're a boyfriend stealer too?" sylvia yells as i wipe my lips, shaking my head.

i look over, seeing dally wink at me before changing his face so quick it made me shut my eyes.

"sylvia, my girl, she approached me, and kissed me.
i didn't do nothing and she just kissed me, probably excepted me to kiss her back."

i couldn't believe it, dally lied.
