Dawn POV

Johnny pulled me aside from everyone, we just stared at each other for a while until he found his words.

"Dawn-" Johnny was cut off by Soda swinging me around.

"Soda!" I squealed. He put me down and laughed. I guess Johnny will have to tell me later. We walked to the local Bowl 'o' Rama few blocks from Bucks. We set down on an on a free aisle, myself and Sandy went to get some drinks for the guys.

"So what did Johnny say to you?" Sandy asked as we made our way to the small dinner.

"I don't know. Before he could say anything Soda picked me up and ruined my chances in hearing what probably was gonna be the words i really wanted to hear." I sighed.

"Don't worry I'm sure he'll come round" She smiled. We got our drinks and headed back to the guys. Two-bit wasn't even playing, he was just sliding down the aisle. Darry was trying to get him to stop or we would get kicked out. Once we got the drinks Steve, Dally and Two-bit looked at the cokes and looked at each other.

"Wheres the beer?" Two-bit asked.

"Beer? Honestly Two-bit do you really think they would sell beer to girls that don't even look 18. " Sandy said sitting next to Soda handing him a coke.

I wasn't really paying attention to the game. Doubts and thoughts were running through my mind about Johnny. I hadn't realized that everyone was getting ready to leave.

"We're going?" I asked

Darry nodded pulled me up from the plastic chair. I was so tired after today.

When we got home I was ready to pass out.

"Night guys." I said, making my way to our room. I put a plain t-shirt and sweats on and cuddled into bed. Not long after Ponyboy and Soda got into their bed and all was peaceful. Soon i fell asleep in a world of Johnny.


The sun peeked through the dim curtains that hung in our room waking me up from my dreams. Pony and Soda were still sleeping. I pulled on my hoodie and went out into the living room where Johnny was sleeping on the couch, Dally was sitting in Darry's chair and Two-Bit was sitting in front of the TV watching mickey mouse. Darry was probably at work already.

"Morning" i said sitting against the couch Johnny was sleeping on.

"Hey." Two-Bit and Dally said not really llooking at me. We just continued watching mickey mouse until i hear Johnny mumbling.

"hhmmm" He was still asleep AWW! "hmmDawnmm" AWWW-WHAT! Did he really say Dawn? I looked at Dally and he was giving me a knowing smile just like Two-Bit.

"Do you guys know something?" I asked, did Sandy tell them?

"Did Sandy happen to tell you anything?" I asked carefully.

"Sandy? No."Dally said telling the truth. "Why? Is there something she's not telling us cause you don't want us to know?"

"No. She's not telling you anything that i don't want you to know cause i don't know what there is to know that i know." . Hopefully that will confuse him. cause i know i confused myself.

"You know" He sneered.

"You know too." I said my mind ticking

"What do i know?" he said quickly

"The same thing you know" I shot back

"Seriously guy! your confusing me big time!" Two-Bit said turning to us.

"hhmmmDawn?" I heard Johnny say, i looked behind me and saw him rubbing the sleep from his eye.

"Yeah Johnny?" I said, he was so cute when he woke up.

"Can we go take a walk?" He said.

"Sure, don't you want breakfast first?"

"That can wait." I slipped on my sneakers and we walked to the park just across the street. Here i was sitting on the monkey bars next to cutie pie Johnny in my PJ's. Romantic huh.

"I was up almost all night thinking over alot of things. Alot of things that involved you." He said, looking at me through the thick greasers hair that covered his forehead.

"oh. go on." I said rubbing his arm, urging him on to what he wanted to say next.

"When i told them socs that you were my girl...when i said it...it felt right. I've known you a really long time and when i was booted from my own home you were always there comforting me. I always knew we wold be friends for a really long time but when you held my hand i never wanted to let go. When you hugged me i wanted to stay there forever." He said llooking down at his swinging feet.

"What are you saying Johnny?" I tried to hold my excitement. Hearing all that from the guy you've had a crush on since you were 13 made me want to sing happy corny musicals.

"Im saying...I like you Dawn...and not just as a friend. mabye more." He said. wow. just wow.

"Wow, Johnny..."

"I understand if you don't feel the same way i just needed to tell you." He said getting down from the monkey bars. I quickly got down and spun him around to face me.

"Johnny, you have no idea how long i have wanted to hear you say all those things" I beamed.

"You mean.."

"I like you too. I have since i was 13." I grinned.

"Really. me too" He grinned. That was the first time in a long time I'd seen Johnny grin from cheek to cheek.

We started inching or heads forward llooking from each other lips and eyes until i felt his warm lips on mine. It was just simple until we had to breath then it became like the kiss I'd wanted my whole life. This was my first kiss. Well actually my first kiss was with Curly Shepherd when we dated for a few months but this was a REAL kiss cause it was with a boy that I'd wanted to kiss for so long! It ended way to soon. I looked into his warm brown eyes and smiled. I hadn't realized my hand went into his hair and his hands were on my hips. We shared a moment until it was rudely interrupted by wolf whistles and cheers. We looked back to the porch where everyone minus Kathy, Evie and Sandy were cheering and smiling. Even Dally and Darry. We made our way back. HOLDING HANDS!.

"Ayyy! FINALLY!" Two-Bit yelled. We made our way back inside and Soda made us pancakes and green jelly. Mine and Soda's favourite. Darry gave me his jelly and i happily excepted it. He was more of the syrup guy. After we'd finished we all watched TV. Everything was fine until we heard someone screaming for help. We all looked at each other and ran outside to find the girl. Some blond was trying to fight of some socs. Suddenly Dally went full speed and started battering one of them. Two-Bit, Soda, Steve and Darry ran to help him. Once they ran of me, Pony and Johnny went and saw who it was. Dally was kissing her...so this was Lexi. Not the typical Dally would go for. She wore just about what me and Sandy wore.

"Oh Hey guys. I'm Lexi." She said, trying to straighten her hair out. We introduced ourselves and walked back home. Lexi was cool, she wasn't stuck up like Sylvia and she didn't dress slutty like Sylvia either. She was grounded and knew her rights and wrongs. This was the girl Dally needed. She would surly keep him out of the cooler for some time. He'll be back in there soon for sure but she'll make sure its a while until he gets in there.

"So Lexi, Where you from?" Steve asked from the floor next to Soda, Two-Bit and Pony.

"I'm from Chicago but i needed to get away from the city so i came here." She smiled.

"How did you meet ol' Dallas here." I said patting Dally on the shoulder. Me and Johnny were sitting with Dally and Lexi on the sofa while Darry was in him armchair.

"Well I just arrived here in Tulsa and i needed a place to crash and i heard that Bucks was a good place. So i entered Bucks asking round if i could find him. I didn't find him but one of Tim Shepherd's boys found me and started to feel me up. Dally saw this and knocked him one and so on from there" She smiled.

"I dont wanna seem rude but your not the type Dally goes for usually." I said cuddling up to my BOYFRIEND Johnny.

"Oh believe me i know! When me and Dally were making out in the corner his ex Sylvia come over and starts going crazy bitch on him and then went crazy crazy bitch on me. I don't stand for girls like that so i told her what a slut she was, told her to get some clothes on and decked her one. She didn't look so hot with a bleeding nose. trust me. All the guys where hustling away from her." She laughed with Dally. I started to like her every second. She was funny, well grounded and fun to be around. A while later Soda and Steve when out to meet Sandy and Evie, Dally and Lexi went back to Bucks and Two-Bit when to get rip roaring drunk. So it was just Ponyboy, myself, Johnny and Darry. Darry was in bed already. Ponyboy was in his room reading so it left me and Johnny...alone.

"Theres nothing on tv." I whined. Johnny laughed.

"I know." He turned the TV off and turned to me. As soon as or lips were about to touch Darry opened his bedroom door and ruined everything.

"Time for bed Dawn, its late. You staying here tonight Johnnycake?"

Johnny nodded.

"Okay. Bed Dawn". He waited there till i went to my bedroom. I gave Johnny a peck on the lips and headed to bed scowling at Darry. Ponyboy was lying in bed staring at the ceiling.

"You okay Pony?" I asked. He knodded slightly.

"Okay whats wrong bub." I said.

"Cold that's all." He mumbled.

I changed into new Pj's in or small closet and got into bed with Pony, cuddling up to him.

"Better?" I asked.

"Yep." He smiled cuddling up to me.

"Dawn."

"Yeah."

"Do you hate being around guys now?" He asked.

"No Pone. Just sometimes i get frustrated cause im practically the only girl i mean i know we got Evie, Sandy, Kathy and now Lexi but some days i get...extra sensitive. Like yesterday." I said, trying to mind my words.

"You dont get mad at me do you?"

"God no Pone. I could never get mad at you. Its just annoying when the guys poke fun and sometimes it can hit extra hard." I mumbled sleepley.

"Oh, You still love me, Soda and Darry right?"

"Of course. Darry can be a pain in my ass sometimes but your still my brothers and i love you more than anyone else." I said, snuggling closer

"More than Johnny?"

"Well i love Johnny more than anyone else just like i love you guys. I love all the guys but being a girl around boys 24/7 gets frustrating but don't worry. I'm happy now" I smiled. Soon after we fell asleep. Yet more dreams about Johnny flooded my mind except this time i knew when i woke up i would get to live out those dreams with Johnny.
