BABYDOLL'S P.O.V
School just got out so I got all my stuff and walk to the DX.
"Hey Sodapop!" I yelled jumping on his back.
"Hey Baby." He said using my nickname, "Where is everyone?"
"I don't know I came here by myself." I shrugged my shoulders.
"WHAT!" he cried.
I jumped back a bit surprised he yelled at me.
"I'm sorry." I mumbled, "I just wanted to surprise you."
Soda immediately pulled me into a hug and I knew he regretted yelling at me.
"I'm sorry Babydoll it's just that I don't want you getting hurt, 'cause if any soc or grease hurts you they're dead men, ya hear." Soda said.
I nodded my head into his chest and hugged him back.
"Babydoll Curtis! Where in the hell have you been?" I looked up and saw Ponyboy, Johnny, Two-bit, and Dally walking towards Soda and I.
"Baby, where were you?" Ponyboy asked pulling me out of Soda's arms and into his.
"I walked over here to surprise Soda, sorry." I said.
"Nothin' to be sorry for we were just worried that socs got you." Johnny said.
"Yea, I'm just glad you're alright; hate to have to tell Darry we lost his baby sister." Two-bit laughed.
I laughed along Two-bit could make anyone smile.
"I'm glad you're okay, kid." Steve said messing up my hair.
"How could you be so stupid!" I looked up to see Dally's face red with anger, "What would you have done if some socs got you!"
"Dally-." I tried.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to walk alone? Can you really be that dumb?" Dally yelled.
"Cool it, Dallas!" Soda and Pony stepped in front of me.
"Leave her alone." Pony growled.
Dally looked like he wanted to hit Ponyboy but I knew he would never hurt him.
"Whatever." Dally said and walked away.
I sighed and felt tears burn my eyes, "Great, Dally's mad at me."
Soda and Pony wrapped their arms around me and let me cry on their shoulders.
"Don't worry 'bout Dallas." Soda said, "He'll cool down soon."
"Yea, he was just worried about you is all." Ponyboy told me.
Ponyboy, Sodapop, and I were all walking home after Soda's shift.
"Dally doesn't care about anybody but himself and Johnny." I snapped.
I haven't told anyone that I was in love with Dally and I wasn't going to say anything any time soon.
"Trust me, he cares." Pony said.
"Whatever." I yawned.
"Tired?" Soda asked.
"A little." I replied resting my head on his shoulder.
Suddenly I felt myself being lifted off the ground.
"Soda what are you doing?" I asked.
"Shh, honey just go to sleep." He whispered.
"I nodded my head and fell asleep.
SODA'S P.O.V
Ponyboy and I reached the house and I carried Babydoll inside.
"Darry?" Pony called.
"In the kitchen." He called back.
I set Baby on the couch careful not to wake her up.
"Is she okay?" Darry asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
"She's just asleep." I said, "She got in a fight with Dally today."
"What happened?" He asked concerned.
"She walked to the DX by herself and Dally blew up at her." I explained.
Darry's face became angry and I couldn't tell if it was because Baby was walking by herself or that Dally was yelling at her.
BABYDOLL'S P.O.V
I woke up to the sound of my brothers voices.
I groaned a little trying to wake my self up and opened my eyes.
"Hey sweetie." Darry said.
"Hi." I mumbled.
"There's dinner in the kitchen if you're hungry." He said softly.
"Can I just get some sleep." I asked.
"Of course." He said.
"Thanks." I yawned.
"Good night." He kissed my forehead.
"Good night." I walked into my room.
I turned on my light and almost screamed. Sitting on my bed was the one and only Dallas Winston.
"What are you doing here?" I whispered angrily.
"I came to see you, if that's okay." He snapped.
"Not after you yelled at me, it's not." I shot back.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
"What?" I asked shocked, Dally never apologizes to anyone, ever.
"I ... was umm... kind of... worried about you." He said slowly.
"You were?" I asked sitting down next to him.
"Yea well you're my buddy I don't want anything to happen to you." He lightly punched.
"Yea a buddy" I thought.
"Dally, is Darry catches you in here he's going to skin ya." I said.
"You're right, I better get going." He said and hoped out my window.
"Bye Dally." I whispered.
DALLY'S P.O.V
"Bye Dally." Baby whispered.
I sighed and ran away from the Curtis house before Darry found me in Baby's room.
I looked back at the house, "Bye Baby." But I was too far away for her to hear me.
I made my way to Buck's and started thinking about the day. When we couldn't find Babydoll today I started thinking the worst – the socs got her.
I know I don't care for too many people but Babydoll stole a special place in my hear that I didn't even know was there. It's hard for me to admit but the truth is I think I'm in love with Babydoll Curtis.
