Chapter 1:Phone Call
Dally was in a deep sleep in his room at Buck's. At around Four in the morning, his phone rang. The ringing woke him from his sleep.
"Hello?" Dally mumbled into the phone.
"Is this Winston?" A lady's voice asked.
"Uh...yeah." Dally said confused.
"My name is Carrie, I'm from child services, we were hoping you could take your son Charlie Winston, son of Ruby Smith?" Carrie asked.
"Ruby had a kid?" Dally asked himself.
"Sir?" The lady asked.
"Uh Yeah, of course I'll take him." Dally responded.
"Great! Can you come sign some paper work in a couple days?"
"To New York? Yeah I'll be there."
"Good, Meet you then." The line went dead.
"I have a kid. The gang won't believe this." Dally thought to himself.
Later in the day Dally walked to the Curtis's house, where everyone usually met.
"Hey Winston!" Chey called out from the kitchen.
"You okay? Looks like you didn't get any sleep last night." Leah stated.
"oh, naw, just stayed up pretty late." Dally made an excuse, not ready for the gang to know about Charlie.
"so what are we doing Today?" Kelcie asked while watching TV with Two-bit.
"There's a party at Buck's like usual, or we could go to the Dingo or to the drive-in." Dally suggested.
"We should wait for Pony, He's at track right now." Leah said.
They just sat around waiting for Ponyboy to get home. They decided to go to the Dingo and then to a movie.
At the Dingo Dally didn't eat much, He barely said anything. The gang knew something was up, but they didn't know what.
"Hey Winston, you sure you're okay?" Chey asked out of concern.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm going out for a smoke." Dally threw his food out and went outside of the Dingo.
"Guys I don't think he is okay." Leah said while Pony kept eating his sandwhich.
"I'll go talk to him." Chey said.
-Flashback-
Dally and Ruby were kissing on her couch. They have been together for a year now. Ruby was the only girl he loved and cared for.
They spent all their time together. They'd go to parties ,movies anything as long as they were together. It was Ruby's birthday, They were suppose to go out to eat but they never made it.
They ended up making love and falling asleep in each others arms. Before they fell asleep Dally told Ruby he loved her.
A few weeks later Ruby kept throwing up. She got a test and after a awhile the test came back positive, She was pregnant.
She never told Dally except a couple days later she picked a fight with Dally.
"I'm not cheating on you!" Dally shouted.
"Yeah that's why a girl at work told me you kissed her?" Ruby shot back.
"I would never do that to you. I love you. Plus I would never kiss any of those girls!" Dally raised his voice more.
"Okay Dally we are done, Just leave!" Ruby demanded.
-Present-
"Winston?" Chey asked.
Dally looked up "yeah?"
"Are you sure you're okay?" Chey asked concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine, just not that hungry."
"Oh well, we are almost ready to go to the movie." Chey didn't want to press on.
"Alright, I'll finish my smoke and wait for you guys."
Chey walked back into the ding to get, Leah,Pony,Kelcie, and Two-bit.
They all walked to the movie together. After about an hour they got bored and went to Buck's.
Dally started to flirt with a red head and started to dance with her. After a while they went to sit down and make out.
"There's Dally kissing another broad." Leah said dancing with Pony.
"Yeah and look who's watching."
Sylvia was at the bar watching Dally make out with another girl.
Everyone one was getting tired and they started to walk to the Curtis's house.
Dally,Leah,and Chey got into an argument, and started to walk back to Buck's.
When he turned the corner he got jumped by a couple socs. Chey was walking after Dally, she heard tires squealing, and she started to run towards Dally. She found Dally lying on the ground bleeding.
