TULSA, OKLAHOMA; 1966


" just because i let you go, doesn't mean i wanted to. "
        
         " but we won't forget each other right? "

" maybe our paths will cross again. "
 
        " then i'll tell you how desperately in love i was."


where a simple girl and a rough boy 
find themselves in love, 
the type of love people like them wouldn't expect,
but young teenagers find out that sometimes,
life isn't fair, and people come and go
so they are forced to see, 
if their love can last the test of time,
and if they don't forget in the meantime.

The Outsiders - Slow Down, Darrel (Darry Curtis) by purplpeopleeater

Madeline Craft. 19. College freshman. Ex-greaser, or so she thought. When she gets a custody call that her two siblings were seemingly abandoned in their Tulsa home, there's no option: she has to go back. It wasn't ideal, but her little brothers, four-year-old twins Jack and Graham, they needed her more than she needed college. Besides, college would always be there if she could ever go back. But on a cold day, back at her high school job working at The Dingo, she meets someone that makes anything poor become great. All rights to SE Hinton besides my additions :)
