you woke up the next day to dally sitting on your bed talking to you
*dallys pov*
i woke up extra early this morning to wake up y/n. i got up and got ready and then headed over to the curtis house. i got to their house and headed up to her room. i gently opened the door. trying not to make any noise. i sat down on her bed next to her and started talking to her. trying to wake her up.
"y/n... wake up"
"you've got school"
"cmon, don't want to miss it today do you?"
i sat there for a minute and just admired her. damn. she's so beautiful. even when she's sleeping.
"y/n cmon wake up."
i put my hand on her arm and rubbed her arm. in hopes to wake her up. she rolled over so she was facing the other way. there was now room on the other side of her. i laid down next to her and snuggled up behind her. whispering in her ear;
"y/n... wake up. let's get ready"
"dally?" she said softly as she just woke up.
"goodmorning doll"
"goodmorning dallas."
she sat up and looked at me like i was crazy. i sat up next to her. i got out of her bed and helped her out so she would get ready for school.
*end of pov*
*your pov*
i got ready after dally pulled me out of my bed. this morning i woke up to him cuddling me telling me to get ready. usually darry wakes me up. with the help of two bit or soda. pony would never dare to wake me up the way darry does. or he would be dead.
you did your makeup and then got dressed in your favorite pair of bell bottom jeans and a black cropped long sleeve shirt. you threw on your converse and went downstairs.
the entire gang was sitting downstairs. again. it's almost as if they're always at your house. you don't mind though.
"goodmorning" said darry
"goodmorning. how come you didn't wake me up this morning?" i asked
"i thought you'd like it if someone else did it for once and dal offered so i let him." he replied
"oh. what's for breakfast"
"your favorite. french toast" pony said
you've always loved french toast. you haven't had it since your parents died though. it reminded you too much of them. you remember that every monday morning, your mom would make her famous fresh toast for you, pony, darry, and soda. you all sat around the table and shared your dreams you had in your sleep the night before.
you grabbed your french toast from darry and sat down at the table, in the same spot you used to sit in when your parents were still alive.
you smiled and then took a bite of your french toast. it was just as good as you remember it. you smiled while taking another bite of it. you felt yourself tearing up a little. you looked down hoping nobody saw your tears in your eyes.
"you ok?" soda asked
damn soda. he always notices the little things. he always notices when i cry. i didn't want to bring any attention to it.
"yup" you answered while sniffling.
a tear. a single tear fell on the table.
"are you crying?" he asked
"no, never"
"i know you are. what's wrong"
"this just reminds me of when mom and dad we're still here. that's all"
"it's gonna be ok y/n"
soda came over to you and gave you a big hug.
you went along with your day as usual. you went to school and by the end of the school day, you remember what you were going to do. and there he was. kaiden.
"hey kaiden, can i talk to you for a minute" you said to him while walking
"what do you want whore"
you kept walking until you were out of the school. you made sure dallas was there. in case anything bad happened.
"i think we need to break up"
"no"
"kaiden. i'm not happy in this relatio-"
he slapped you. and then he pushed you to the ground. he got on top of you and he pulled out his switch blade. (everyone was gone out of the parking lot by now besides dallas)
he held the switch blade to your neck until he was lifted from you. dallas picked him up off you and took his blade. dally threw punches at kaidens face while you got up. he signaled you to go to his car. you got up quickly and ran. you got to his car and waited for him. keeping your eyes on him while he was fighting kaiden. you were shaking.
"you two are done." you heard dal say.
he walked over to the car slowly and cooly. you were scared for dally. you knew all the things kaiden did to you and you didn't want dally to get as hurt as you do atleast twice a week. it wasn't very often anymore since you stopped hanging out with him all the time because he abused you.
"hey. y/n. why did he slap you and try to jump you?"
"no reason"
you looked down and faced the car door on your side which was the opposite way of dally.
"i know there's a reason. tell me" dally said a little more harshly
you flinched when he did that.
"why did you flinch? did i scare you?"
you don't say anything. you just nodded your head
"i've never seen you so jumpy before. what's wrong?"
he put his hand on your thigh rubbing his thumb on it. you teared up a little bit and your sniffle broke the silence.
"cmon y/n. talk to me"
you took a deep breath and started talking
"he's been abusing me. which is why i never hang out with him. and i was scared to break up with him for this exact reason. i didn't want him to hurt me anymore."
"why did you tell me before?" dally said disappointed
"i didn't tell my brothers for the longest time. but i thought i'd tell them. i told soda first because i literally tell that kid everything. then i told pony. and darry asked me why i can't break up with him. and that's when i told him. darry only found out a few weeks ago."
"you should've told me. i never would've let him lay a hand on you ever again"
"well. with time. i've found ways to get out of it"
"how long has he been doing this to you. i know you guys have been dating for like 4 years"
"he started doing it after the first year. and i've always been too scared to break up with him"
"oh. well look. you broke up with him."
"yeah. i did. with the help of you. thanks dal."
"you're welcome doll"
and with that dally started his car and started driving to the curtis house.
