What I Meant To Say (Old Fanfiction)

by DallasWinston98

I had unpublished this but I republished it so people could see the progression of my writing. I warn you, this fanfiction is not at par with my newer ones.) The Outsiders belongs to S.E Hinton. Dally and the rest of the gang are reborn but for only one reason. For Dally to tell Johnny how much he cares for him. This was originally posted in September of 2014.

1. Chapter 1

I awoke in some dirty run down room, I was confused on where I was at. Then I is some old run down motel,I started wondering how I payed for it...actually from how nasty it was I probably got it for free. I rolled over onto my back looking at the ceiling,thinking of the dream I had. Again it was about my past life,why am I the only one in the gang that remembers a past life? The year was 2014...Most definitely not the 1960's anymore. I sat up on the edge of the bed and grabbed my pack of cigarettes and pulled one out. I placed it in between my lips and lit it up,hoping to relax. I couldn't stop thinking,why did I have a past life? If it is a past life why was I reborn? Nothing but questions is all I thought of. I looked for an ash tray and saw nothing. I just put it out by rubbing it on the bed.

I stood and walked to the one window they had in this damn room. The sun was bright,too bright for my liking. I decided it was time to leave this pathetic place. I pulled my shoes and shirt on and was on my way. I wasn't sure where I would go considering Buck was mad at me again. I realized I didn't have my jacket,I didn't think much of it and continued walking. I saw a small figure on the horizon,I couldn't quite see who it was. As I got closer I realized it was Johnny and he had my jacket. I didn't care about the jacket,I cared about the boy that had it. He had stopped walking toward me so I had to move towards him. As I got closer I saw he had a black eye.

I sighed, "did your old man get you again Johhnycakes?" He nodded at me.

"Yeah, when does he not get me?" That was painfully true,Johnny always had a new bruise to show off. He pulled offmy jacket and handed it to me.

"Thank you for letting me borrow it last night, Dal,it was really cold in the lot."

I hadn't remembered lending him my jacket...all well it was just Johnny who had it. Johnny was small just like he apparently was in the past, he was still jumpy too. I don't know why but when I'm next to Johnny I feel nervous...listen to me! Isound like a girl! I tried to hide my nervousness and pulled it off. I was still tough and didn't open up to anybody,Johnny is the only person I calm down with. He looked up at me with big brown eyes,basically looking right into my soul.

"So Dal, where you headed?" he said with slight excitement I thought about it and about the only place for me to go was the Curtis' house. Somehow Ponyboy,Soda and Darry stayed brothers though this whole entire 'reincarnation' thing. I didn't know their bond was that strong.

"Just might go to the Curtis's...wanna come?" he lit up when I invited him somewhere he always got excited. I didn't think much of it though.

"Come on lets get going." I said walking forward as Johnny followed.
