I do not own The Outsiders
(Dolly's POV)
I was at home watching TV with Johnny, Steve, Dally and Soda were playing poker. Two-Bit was in the bathroom taking a piss. It was night when Darry came in letting his tool belt fall on the ground with a loud thud. Everybody greeted him, he smiled at me sitting next to Johnny and I.
"How was your day kiddo?" He asked folding his arms behind his head.
Soda interrupted, "Oh I'd say she had a wonderful day, say Doll face, tell Darry about the offer you had today."
I narrowed my eyes at him, why are brothers so over protecting! Johnny chuckled beside me, "Well Darry I uh," I saw everybody staring at us, I knew they were curious to find out how Darry would react to my proposal of going out tomorrow, "Can I talk to you in private?" Everybody else went to their doings, I took Darry outside on the porch.
"What's going on? You all right?" He asked worrying.
I rolled my eyes, "Look Darry, I'm seventeen, I haven't been out a lot, " I bit my lip getting suddenly nervous, "This...this guy asked me out yesterday to the movies-"
His face changed from being soft to being mad, "Oh hell no Dolly. HELL NO-"
My hand went to his arm tugging at it, "C'mon Darry! Please! I-I have a right to go! This past year I only had one B on my report card! And I'm really bored! And-and this guy is just a friend! Please Darry, Two-Bit will be there! You can even drop us off if you want to but I really want to go!" I put on my please face that almost every time gets me my way. I could see him hesitate for some minutes looking at me trying to come up with something.
"Let me think about it ok?" He said folding his arms.
I shook my head slowly pouting, "Please Dar! I need an answer now...You'll talk about this with Soda and I know he'll convince you to say NO."
He raised an eyebrow, "All right all right...Ok Dolly you get to go-"
I clapped my hands, "Oh thank you thank you thaaank you!"
"I get to drop you off and pick you up, he has to come all the way here, you sit next to Two-Bit and Kathy, when they get snacks you get snacks. And no touching Dolly, he is not allowed to touch you in any sort of way you got me?"
I started laughing, "Touch me? Wh-I think you're totally getting ahead of yourself Darry. I ain't that type of girl...I'm a greaser girl but I..." Suddenly I didn't find he's commentary funny at all. He realized this and hugged me.
"I didn't mean it that way." He said apologetically to me.
I shrugged, "Thanks anyway."
When we got in I stuck my tongue out at Soda who was grinning at me probably thinking Darry didn't give me permission. Oh did he have a surprise...
(Steve's POV)
She came inside with Darry behind him, he mumbled something and went to the bathroom. She smirked at Soda who was with us playing cards, she gently caressed Soda's cheek still smirking. Soda turned to see what was up with her. I myself got curious at her behavior.
Soda laid down his cards, "What's up with you? You sad that you didn't get what you want?" He said grinning.
Dolly giggled, "Actually I get to go."
I felt myself go cold, Darry actually let her? Dally whistled laying down his cards, Two-Bit laughed sitting down on the couch next to Johnny who seemed to be cracking a smile. Soda's eyes widened in shock, his grin long gone.
"He-Dar-he let you go?!" He asked standing up.
Dolly shook her head, "Yup."
I shook my head, "Naa I bet he's just thinking about it. He can't let you go anyway. Too dangerous kid."
Everybody stared at me, Dolly shrugged, "He said yes, under certain circumstances of course." She sat next to Johnny giggling some more.
Soda his angrily now, "No! He can't! I mean, Steve's right! It's too dangerous! I mean how could-"
That's when Darry got out in a towel that was around his waist, "Calm down Soda."
Dally stood up leaning on the door hedge "Relax Soda, I mean she ain't ten no more. Look at her, I think she deserves a boyfriend already."
Darry, Soda and I glared at him, "Hell no, nobody said this was a date!" Soda shouted.
Dolly laughed making us turn to her, "Jeez guys calm down! It's just some hours at the movies with a friend, gosh. You can sure make this into a soap opera."
Two-Bit laughed, "Don't worry grease balls, I got this kid under my wing. I'll keep a close eye on her. If this Paul guy wants to try anything I'll be ready to go ape on him."
"Ape, Godzilla whatever. As long as this guy doesn't try anything on her." I said grabbing a smoke. I saw Dally smirk at me, I remembered our small conversation that night. Shit.
"Well I'm beat, goodnight guys." Dally said waving at us, Johnny followed behind giving Dolly a glance. She nodded, they probably talked about something. Two-Bit grabbed a beer from the fridge leaving saying he had to get home before his Ma got worried. Dolly kept sitting down staring at me with a curious look on her face, Soda was with Darry arguing in his room. I grimaced at her, "What are you looking at brat?"
She scowled at me, "Take it easy for once why don't ya? You act like ass Steve all the time, just this once could you not?"
I puffed at her, "Take it easy? Kid, your brother is going crazy over this date you have. He'll be a grouchy tomorrow. I can't take it easy."
Dolly stood up standing very close to me making me drop my smoke, I quickly bent down to pick it up pissed at her, "What the fuck Dolly?!" I asked irritated.
She was so close to my face I could feel her breathing, her breathe smelled like mint with strawberries, "Steve, why do you care who I go out with?"
That's when I stiffened, Why did I care? She kept looking at me with her eyes, they were almost hypnotizing. I stepped away quickly feeling uncomfortable, "I don't care, go out with any shit head you want!"
Dolly chuckled, "What am I going to do with you Steven."
Suddenly Soda barged out slamming Darry's door behind him, he pointed at Dolly, "You, get in your room and you," Now he pointed at me, "stay if you need Steve but I don't think you should stay tonight." I understood what he meant, there would be shouting, I took one more look at Dolly who was obviously grinning amused at her brother's anger. I sighed and closed the door behind me. I'm suddenly grateful I don't have a kid sister.
(Dolly's POV)
Soda grabbed my wrist taking me to my room, I could hear Darry sigh loudly behind us. My older brother slammed the door glaring at me, he paced around the room probably searching for the right words to say. I shrugged laying down on my bed covering my face with my arm. I really didn't want to discuss my night out with Paul tomorrow.
"I strongly suggest you don't go out with him Dolly." He said finally sitting next to me.
I growled, "Soda just stay out of it."
He growled back at me, "I won't Dolly, get that through your thick skull. Understand me Dolly!" He stood up pinching the bridge of his nose, his voice softened, "I just don't want anything happening to you baby."
When he called me baby it was because he was really concerned for me, trying to soothe me. I sighed getting up unexpectedly hugging him, Soda smiled and returned my affection.
"I know you're a very jealous brother but ya gotta understand I need my space sometimes. I love you so much Soda...I do appreciate your concern but sometimes it really gets over whelming haha, don't worry, " I kissed him on the cheek, "I'll be taken care of. And he's just a friend for crying out loud, not a date."
He grimaced at the word date, "If I hear that he tried and make one move on you he'll get his ass kicked."
There was a knock on my door, Darry opened sticking his head inside, "You all right little buddy?" He asked Soda.
My brother nodded, "Yeah, but I'm still against it I'm just letting it pass."
I said, "Geez you sound worse than Darry."
Darry cracked a smile, "You know Dolly, I overheard Soda say if this guy even thinks to make a move on you, he'll kick his ass, I'll join in. It won't be a pretty fight."
Both my brothers sat on each of my side, I rolled my eyes shaking my head mumbling, "Brothers..." But I didn't feel mad or anything, I love being protected, though not overly protected of course. I looked at both of them, Soda's his dark brown eyes shining smiling at me, then I turned to Darry who was smirking at me.
What would I do without them?
Sorry for any grammar mistakes (Thank you to everybody who's reading my story)
