Desperately Clinging to Dusk: A Dallas Winston Love Story

An excerpt: This was a dance we did often; back and forth, push and pull just like the moon and the tide. He would want me intensely when I didn't want him back, he would leave me when I was immensely devoted to him. We would hurt one another over and over, and yet we couldn't stay away. We just couldn't get enough of each other. Together we were like dusk, deeply wrapped in the warmth and comfort of each other for a short time before descending into the darkness of contention and distrust. Once we were in it, we never made it out of that darkness whole. We dreaded the morning, when the wrongdoing towards one another would come to light and everything would be over as quickly as it began. So we continued to cling to each other in dusk for as long as we could. We were slowly headed toward that warmth again, and I prayed that we could stay in this time of dusk forever.

A love story about the toughest hood in Tulsa and his best friend's sister. He's protective and reckless. She's cautious and passionate. Their love story is a meteor, burning bright and ending almost as soon as it truly begins.

This story will closely follow the events of The Outsiders, with descriptions coming from the movie (ie Matt Dillon as Dally). Jeanie Cade is the only new character that has been added. All other characters and events are created and owned by S.E. Hinton and Francis Ford Coppola. I do not own any rights to The Outsiders.
