Dallas's POV
It's been 2 days since I got the phone call from my dad.. Of course I had to let everyone know I was going to be gone for awhile. I figure that once I see the ol' gang up in New York I'll want to stay up here for a few weeks. My gang down in Tulsa is like my family, I consider those six boys my brothers. As for my New York gang, they really were just people to hang around with. I have only ever really cared about one of the members of my gang up here. Man, I hope she's still here..
I park my car in the gang's old hang out to see if anyone is hanging around in there. I walk up to the front door, without really paying any attention. Not until I'm at the door do I realize that "The Loft" is now a little, shitty, rundown dinner. I go in any ways to get something to eat. It's really empty in there, there's only a couple in the far booth fighting with the waitress. I sit down at the counter since I'm alone.. They continue to fight..
"Can you just take our order and go!" The girl said to the waitress.
"Look, you decided to eat where I work, show some respect or get out." The waitress said back.
"Come on sweets, we'll just go somewhere else." The guy said standing up. They walk towards the door.
"Good Devin! I didn't want your trash hanging around where I work anyways!" The waitress yelled. The girl turned back around to fight the waitress but the guy stopped her... Wait Devin? I turn around and see Devin pushing the girl towards the door, she went outside. Then he webr over to talk to the waitress.
"Do you really have to be so mean to her?" Devin said.. I knew him! He was part of the gang! That Devin!
"I do! She's a complete whore and it isn't even all her! It's the fact that you, my ex-boyfriend show up here with her and expect me to serve you guys! Devin you cheated on me with her! I don't want either of you in here!" She said to his face. She notices me. Damn she looks familiar.. "Look I have a customer can you leave?" She says motioning to me. He just looks at the ground and goes outside with his girl.
"I'm sorry about that, can I get you..." I cut her off noticing her name tag.
"Bell? Is that short for something?" I ask her. She looks at me hard..
"Yeah.. South-Bell.." She says.
"Carter?" I say in shock realizing that its her.
"Dallas?" She asks
"I can't believe it's really you." I say looking her up and down. "You.. Ya grew up." I finish.
"I can't believe you're back!" She says leaning in to hug me. I hug her back. "Are you staying?" She asks me. I look into her eyes and they look worn down and sad as always.
"I don't know yet." I lied.
Her shift was over in an hour so I hung around until she got out. She looked different but she was still the same Southie. Her hair is a lot longer, blonde, not choppy like it was when we were kids. It was down to at least her ass now. She got a pretty nice shape to her now too. Not too skinny but she didn't have an ounce of fat on her. She never did eat that much. Her brown eyes seemed worn down from working too hard. She has too much responsibility for an 18 year old girl.
We walked down the street to meet up with the old gang. I couldn't help but keep looking over at her. Just seeing her made me feel at home.
"So you care to tell me why you are really here?" She asked looking up at me. She leaned up against a hard brick wall lighting a cigarette. She handed me one.
"To see you of corse!" I joked. "Well not just that." I winked. "I got a call from my old man last week, told me he had another kid." I paused inhaling smoke. "He threw her in an orphan age up here, the same one you were in, he told me that I could adopt her if I wanted to." I paused again taking another drag. "The only reason I'm going too is because I know how it is to feel unwanted and shit ya know?" I finished. She nodded taking a drag.
"Yeah, that place was a living hell.. Dal, you do realize that you can't adopt if your a single parent. It's kinda their policy." She said. "You gotta girl?" She asked.
"No. Even if I still did none of them would have adopted a kid with me even if it was my sister." I said looking down in frustration. "What the fuck am I gonna do now?" I said tossing the cancer stick.
"Well, if you want me to do it, I wouldn't mind.." She said looking up at me from the ground. I smile.
"South, lets go get us a kid." I say with a smirk. She then follows me down the street.
