Two-Bit:  You were working another weekend shift at Al’s Diner.  You really enjoyed your job because of the 24/7 rock-n-roll music, the roller skates, and of course the many different people you got to meet.  You were waiting in the back making milkshakes when your friend and co-worker Betty popped her head in the doorway.  “Y/N, Loverboy and his two friends are at table three.  He asked for you specifically. Again.”  You laughed and shook your head.  About three weeks ago, you served him and his friends and every time you skated by, he did something to get your attention.  It could be a joke, a wave, blowing kisses, hell he’s even done animal impressions.  And it never fails that he makes you laugh.  You grabbed your milkshakes and dropped them off at your table, then skated around to Two’s table.  You decided that since it was slow right now, you’d take a little time to tease Two-Bit.  You skated up to their booth, coming from behind Two.  You plopped yourself right next to him making him jump, then laugh.  He wrapped an arm around you and leaned back in the seat, “Honey you must be a broom, cause you just swept me off my feet!”  You couldn’t help but throw your head back and laugh while his two friends rolled their eyes.  You gingerly move his hand and stand up, “So boys, what can I get you today? The usual?”

They all nod their heads and you make your way back to the kitchen.  “Hey Y/N!”  you turn around to see Two grinning, he dramatically blows you a kiss and you play along and catch it.  You turn around in the kitchen doorway and blow a kiss back to him.  He jumps up in the seat and flails his arms around to catch it and makes enough noise for everyone in the diner to look at him.  You can’t help but laugh at what a goof he is.  When their order is finally ready you come back and put it on the table.  “You boys need anything else?” you asked sweetly.  One of Two’s friends, the tan one spoke up, “Maybe some napkins.  He keeps drooling every time you go by.”  All four of you laughed, and once Two finally stopped laughing he agreed. “He’s right.  I can’t help it.”  You blushed and gave him a stack of napkins, causing everyone to erupt into laughter again.  You left to take care of your other customers, and came back when they were finished.  The two younger boys were chuckling and for the first time ever, Two-Bit was quiet.  You looked at him suspiciously when he started to get up from the table.  He stood in front of you for a second before getting down on one knee.  He then pulled out the paper napkin ring from behind his back and looked at you.  “Y/N, I have liked you since I met you.  You’re beautiful, and funny, and know how to make a great milkshake.  All great qualities that I look for in a woman.”  You laughed along with his friends before he pouted. “Hey!  I’m trying to be romantic here.  Now where was I?  Oh yeah!  I love coming in here to see your face, but I’d really love to see you other places too.  So, Y/N, will you go on a date with me?”  You immediately burst into laughter while nodding your head.  The handful of people in the diner chuckled and clapped, while Two’s friends both wolf-whistled.  Two-Bit jumped up and spun you around before he kissed you on the cheek. 

“So how does Friday at the drive-in sound?” 

“Perfect.”

Dallas:

You got in another fight with your parents.  You loved them and all, but you just didn’t see eye to eye on most things.  The familiar feeling of a need to rebel grew in your stomach as you got dressed in your room.  You put on the bright red lipstick your parents hated to match your bright red pumps.  You picked out a black halter dress that hit right about halfway down your thigh.  You decided you looked damn good as you shoved some pillows under your blanket and shut out your lights.  Quietly you opened your window and carefully snuck down the ivy fence on the side of your house.  You ran down the street and walked a few blocks to get your friend Sally.  The two of you strolled down to Buck Merril’s house for a party.  When you opened the door the smell of booze, cigarettes, and sweat filled your nose, but you walked in anyways.  Sally and yourself had a few drinks before hitting the dance floor.  You danced with her for a long time until you felt someone tap your shoulder and you turned around.  “I don’t think your Daddy would like that dress very much doll.  Maybe you should head on home.”   You stopped dancing and your hands went directly to your hips.  “Well I guess it’s good I wore this dress because I liked it and not my daddy.  And maybe you should get lost.” 

He gave you an incredulous grin and looked you up and down.  A few people around you backed away slightly but you stood your ground.  You turned around to dance again when he grabbed your arm and spun you back to face him.  “Sorry sweetie, do you know who you’re talking to?”  He stepped closer to you, leaving mere inches between your bodies.  You put one hand over your heart and the other resting on your head in a damsel pose as you sassed, “Oh no. The infamous Dallas Winston.  I’m shaking, really.  Ya know, when guys act all tough, like you are, they’re usually trying to make up for something.  I’d hate to guess what you’re compensating for.”  You quickly glanced down at his jean zipper and back up at his now unreadable face.  He shook his head both in anger and awe.  “You are one hell of a broad, you know that?”  You grabbed Sally’s arm and walked around Dallas, but not before giving him a wink.  “Oh honey.  I know.”

As you walked home with Sally she laughed and grabbed your arm to steady herself.  “I can’t BELIEVE you talked to him like that!  Nobody talks to Dallas Winston like that, let alone a girl like you!”

“Well I think it’s about time somebody talked to him like that.  He’s kind of an ass.”

“But you like him.” Sally nudged you and giggled.

“Well he’s a cute ass, I’ll give him that.”

You both laughed and talked about Dallas Winston the entire way home.

You stumbled home in the dark, sobbing all the way. This wasn’t how you thought it would end. You thought he would give you a chance to explain what happened. But he didn’t. To be honest, you didn’t blame him. Had you been in the same situation, you probably would have done the same thing. It took you hours to get home. You had probably gotten lost at least once, maybe more, and the whole time it was raining. By the time you finally got to your tiny house, you were soaked to the bone, and then some. There were no more tears left for you to cry, and yet you still sobbed as leftover raindrops left their marks on your skin. All those boys back in junior high thought they had gotten the great privilege of breaking your heart, but no. Only now did you truly understand what heartbreak felt like. It felt like the souls of millions of children on your conscious, a puppies death on your hands. Like your core, everything you loved and believed in, had suddenly been ripped out of your chest and disposed of in the worst way possible. There was no energy left for you to change clothes, never mind eat. But what did it matter anyway? There was nothing left for you, no job, no love, no chance at life. And so you sank down into the middle of the dirty carpet, and wept dry tears until finally the blessing of sleep overtook you. But ouch, what was that pain in your side. And ooh, that really hurts!! Even from the darkness of sleep, the pain was sharp. Groggily awakening, your eyelids open to see that yes, you are still on the floor. And yes, still in wet clothes. And yes, it was still night. Again, the pained came in waves. One, two, three, four. It felt like hot knives stabbing your belly, but from inside. You didn’t know what was happening. So you crawled over to the phone, and rang someone you knew would come.

Just as he came in the door, another wave if pain shot through your whole middle. It was even worse than before, and rendered you unconscious. Your eyes closed just as he lifted you up, and the last word you remember was something about a hospital. Dally’s POV Man this doc ain’t telling me anything. “Has she been under stress at all? Worried, trauma, anything like that at all?” “No! I haven’t talked to her for two days, and last I did she was doing just fine. Ya know what, let me just call her boyfriend, he would know.”And so I picked up the phone and dialed Two Bits home phone. “Hello?” “Listen it’s dally. You need to come to the hospitals right away. There’s something wrong with Katy, and the doc wants to talk to you.” “No. I’m not comin. She doesn’t need me anymore. I bet it was you, wasn’t it? With all you womanizing ways, I bet it was you that did it! Tell me, did she go with you easily, or did you use some force? Huh dally boy? Which was it?” “I—- what are you raking about?!?! What is going on in that twisted mind of yours? What did I supposedly do?” “Ha! As if you didn’t know!! Great coverup! I bet your real proud you finally got a classy girl, instead of that trash you always sleep with. When did she tell you she was pregnant? Where you proud? Did you gloat? Huh?”

As you walked down the avenue you knew you would get in a fight. It was about 2 pm and you just got out of that school. Today at school the socs said they would have some fun with you later. Ugh. Of course. Slutty men is all they are. You yourself, were a greaser. Even the greasers sent you hoots down the hallway. But theres this one kid, um whats his name... ponyman... horsebackboy.. oh yeah Ponyboy.. Pony is so cute. He would always wave to you in the hallways, never hooted. He always had great manners and never paid any attention to anyone who was walking by when he was reading. But he would always glance up whenever you walk by. Maybe He Liked you? You don't think anyone else would. 

*10 mins Later*

Your walking by old damage up homes, almost to your house. When you heard hooting and hollering from the distance. Uh god. You knew it, you were being jumped. Before you could finish that thought you felt someone grab you by the waist, turn you around fast and furious,threw your books to the ground, into a pile of mud. You were about to burst out into tears, your gone with the wind book was destroyed. "Come here baby" He slured ripping off your shirt. You were getting raped. Glad you had your tank top on, of you would be half naked. Since he was drunk, he couldn't really understand how to take your tank top off. Before you could do anything you took the pocket knife out of your pocket and tackled him to the ground,holding the switch blade right on his throat. "You asswipe!" you said, holding the switch blade harder against his throat."You know what Socs are? High class bastards, with so called FAKE FUCKING FRIENDS AND STUPID CARS." You said, as you got up, kicking him in the hib cage. He was to drunk and beaten up to get up. So you grabbed your tore um things and didn't bother to put on your shirt. You just started running. 

5 Mins later

After a while of running, you stopped and saw a car coming. It was Sodapop Curtis. Probally coming home from work. He quickly stopped. "WHATS GOING ON Y/F/N ?" You knew Sodapop, he is your car fixer person. You really didnt remember anything. "I was in a fight with a a a soc. I need to.." You fainted in the car, you weren't dead,you heard everything, but didnt see anything. " OH MY GOD" Sodapop said. 

30 mins later:

"Hello?" You said, sitting up from a strange bed. You gazed around a bit before exiting. Normal type bedroom... but uh books stacked like never before on the left side of the bed. Clothes everywhere.. and pictures of Gone with the Wind. The Movie. You walk out the room. Running towards you was..was.. your dream boy. Ponyboy. That was his bedroom.. you were sleeping/resting in his bed.. "woahhh" you say to yourself. "what? Are you okay y/f/n?" Ponyboy says, looking at your waist, were probally sodapop but a wrap around. "Eh.. its okay." You say limping back into the bedroom. 

You were excited. Tonight you and your boyfriend Two-Bit were going to the drive in for a date and you knew he was going to kiss you. You woulda kissed by now but your brother told Two-Bit if he kissed you before the 3rd date he'd kill him. So, tonight was the 4th date and you knew it would happen. 

You were now in the chairs at the drive in, Two-Bit went to get some popcorn and drinks and you stayed back watching the movie. "I'm backkk" you turn to see him struggling with all the things he bought. You laugh and help him "thank you" you say.

The movie goes on and you get cold. You shiver a little and Two-Bit puts his arm around you "you want my jacket babe?" you just snuggle into him and smile "I think i'm good now" 

Out of nowhere he kisses your forehead. You look up "hi" he says. You laugh "hi!" 

"Can I kiss you?" you laugh and kiss him passionately. Immediately fireworks went off, you felt so much more happy then you usually do and you wanted more. He runs his fingers through your hair, still kissing you. You could feel his smile and you were sure he could feel yours.
