Valerie had been with guys like Dallas Winston. Cold, mean guys with feelings that never showed. But now she's decided that she needs someone who cares about her, and she might have just found him. ~ Cover credit to the FABULOUS @mordacious Some characters and plotlines are credited to the amazing S E Hinton

An Outsiders Fanfiction. [Fem!OC x Darry] [Got the inspiration for this after reading some Outsiders Preferences by @Greaser_67, the ones for Darry really stood out to me. This story could not have been made without the inspiration and help from @Greaser_67. Go check out @Greaser_67's works, while you're at it.] Darla Chavelle Randle, a runaway from her folks in Texas, moves in with her cousin Steve in Tulsa, Oklahoma until she graduates. When she gets a place of her own, right next to the Curtis house, the mailman can't seem to get it all right, and Darry has to keep bringing her mail over after it winds up in his box. That's just the beginning. Not that he minds, of course. Darla can't say she minds too much herself. ***I don't own any character except Darla, and Richard & his gang.***
