Fading Rose's notes: The Soda chapter is taking longer than usual. So I'm
just taking up time till we get that done. So hopefully (that's a major
hopefully) I can get Dally and Vivian together. And I think I am doing
Dally way too soft. Tell me what you think please.
Chapter Six: Dally
By Fading Rose
"Dally," Buck's voice came through the door as his knocking came on the door. Rolling over, feeling my ribs complain as I did so. Scratching my forehead I stood up.
"Yeah. What do you want Buck?" I growled as I said. I had gotten into another fight with Tim Shepard, he was angry with me because I had slashed his tires again. Though it was a fair fight, you know, no chains or blades.
"There's someone here to see you," Buck said gruffly before heading back downstairs to his party. I could hear the loud country music playing some song about a guy and his girl.
I didn't have my shirt on at the moment. I never did when my ribs hurt anyways, I was proud of my tuff body. Opening the door the smell of alcohol and second hand smoke came stronger.
At the door I was surprised to see that good-looking broad, Vivian. "What're you doing here?" I asked as I looked at her. Her hair was still left down, but her eyes were cast down. Something unfamiliar struck me. Concern.
"Sorry to bother you, Dally. It's just that I don't know where else to go. My dads drunk again and I'm not sticking around for him to use me as a punching bag again." Vivian said looking at me now. Surprise entered her eyes seeing me without a shirt.
"Got in a fight with Tim Shepard," I informed her as I watched her smirking slightly. "No, no it's all right. Come in," I said as she entered. Placing my arm around her shoulder I led her upstairs so we could talk where it was quiet.
"Thanks," Vivian said with a weak smile, as she entered the room. Sitting down on the bed she sighed and rested her head in her hands. "I'll be fine. I just need to relax."
I sat down next to her. Why the hell was I so concerned? I never felt concerned about anyone but the gang. But it was so strange seeing her this way. Usually she would never allow me to lead her to a room.
"I really don't understand why he would hit you," I said as I placed my arm around her shoulders again. Sighing myself, I ignored my ribs as they sent another complaint to me.
"I do," She said lifting her head and laughed shortly. "Because I'm a smart ass and I mouth off to him and that sets him off. It doesn't really bother me that he's drunk right now. It's just I don't want the same thing to happen again."
"What happened?" I asked as I looked at her closely. I thought of when she helped Miriam of how gentle she looked. Then I thought of when she was annoyed at me. It was strange comparing these two different images.
For a moment she watched me as if judging to tell or not to tell. Then looked around then back at me. "You can consider my dad a magic man. Do you get my meaning?"
"Um. No." I blinked for a moment. I have heard that term before, but never really bothered to remember what it meant. I was watching her still; I knew I was looking concerned.
"A magic man is someone that has the talent of disappearing." Vivian said her smile forming into a smirk. "You know, get you're girlfriend pregnant and run off with some other girl and do the same thing."
"Oh." I said as I smiled grimly. My old man was the same way. I remembered seeing his different girlfriends when I was younger. I remember the way it felt to cry. I hadn't cried for so long, I couldn't even remember the last time I cried.
"Yeah." She nodded as she continued to look at me. "Well he got my mom pregnant with Raul. Then runs off to my stepmother and do the same thing. Returns and for some reason my mom welcomes him back. So she had me now. And well. He leaves when I'm younger comes back when I'm a teenager. So it was about three years ago. And we had gotten in a really bad fight the night before, which was when he hit me. But the next night he's drunk again. And so mom and I had to drive with him. So we got into a car wreck."
"Wow."I said not sure what to think of this. Urging her to continue I just continued to watch her. I lifted her chin to look at me then said gently, "Go on."
"Well.thankfully my mom wasn't hurt. But her spine was broken and now will have to be in a wheel chair for the rest of her life. And you know. She had so much going for her. She had been a super model and everything.As for me it broke my ankle and gave me whiplash. So I hurt my ankle easily because of that car wreck. I'm not even sure how he got custody over me."
"Wow. That's really tough." I said gently pushing her towards me. "My old man is the cause of my troubles too. I hate him so much, you know, it's that rage that never goes away."
"Yeah." Vivian said nodding. She was watching me, looking amazed for some reason.
"What?" I asked her smirking now. This was the strangest moment I have ever had. With Sylvia there was no moments like this. We were just passionate and, I'm not going to get into details. But we never really talked like this, you know it was sort of nice.
"I never knew you could be so." She said trying to find the words to describe me as. "Nice. Yeah. Nice and gentle. You never cease to surprise me, Dally."
"I never knew you could be so nice either," I smirked. No one has ever said that to be before. Though the smirk was dying away as I smiled. This was so odd. I mean. I never smiled.
She raised her eyebrows some. Then smiled eventually. She had a really nice smile. I mean it softened her face and made her eyes light up. It was then that she looked really good.
The next thing I knew, I leaned forward and kissed her gently. In this moment, it was just bliss. I never felt such peace, but I did when I kissed her that moment. She was something that felt like I could never have, but I had her right here by me.
She had stared at me for a moment, and then fell into the kiss. She kissed back even gentler than my kiss. She didn't even flinch when I touched her cheek again.
Breaking the kiss, I stared at her amazed. "I never met anyone like you, Vivian.Most broads are scared off by me or think that I can't be gentle. I didn't even know I was gentle."
"Some people can bring the better out of people," She said smiling now. "I just wouldn't think I would be the one to do that. I never really bring the better out of people. I bring the worst out of people usually."
"I know someplace that will be better to stay at than here," I said now thinking about it. Darry's place would be a lot better for her than here at Buck's. They always accept people coming over to their house.
"All right, that sounds good." She nodded at that idea. Looking relieved to be getting away from here.
