"Just magnificent"

**Melody's P.O.V**

3 days went by fast at the church, it felt like yesterday that we were just at the drive-in. Except, the funny thing is that 2 days ago Ponyboy fell asleep outside like an idiot.

What if someone found him?

All I can dream about is that strange dream I keep having every night. The one where the cops come and I start hearing gunshots and then flames.

Flames, they appear out of nowhere.

I'm getting worried.

Johnny just tells me its some dumb dream that is making me overreact but I'm starting to think otherwise. It's freaky. And I have been having the dream every night. Every freaking night. But I can't stop thinking about my brother. I wonder if he's doing ok.

I hope he's fine. And Julie, my dear best friend. I feel so bad for leaving her behind I just wasn't thinking in the right mind. And now, I'm stuck here. In this small church. Filled with dust, and tons of mice and more.

Yuck.

I open my eyes and I jerk up as my veins get hot. It feels like I'm on fire. I look around me and I see the church walls and a sleeping Johnny and Ponyboy. I guess my nightmare woke me up.

I should do something. No. I should go back to sleep. No, I should just- Gahh! This dream is making me jumpy and nervous.

Well, I guess I should try to get more sleep, I think to myself as I plop back down onto the stiff floor. I stare at the celling of the church and I focus on a spider spinning a web. Spiders are so majestic, it's a shame people are scared of them. They're beautiful creatures. I focus on the spider as she spins her beautiful web and I look outside and see the bright moon. I look at the moon and try to guess the time. I'd say it's around, hmmm, maybe around 10:50 or something like that.

I close my eyes and try to distance myself from that horrid dream. Maybe I can dream about something nice for once. Although that's impossible. I stare into the darkness, waiting for my brain to fall asleep and take my body with it. But before a new dream starts I see my brother, just standing in the middle of darkness with a rose.

What does that mean?

**Dallas's P.O.V**

I walked down the road and to Julie's house. It was 11:02 and its getting past her curfew, but hey, I'm Dallas Winston and NOBODY can tell me what to do. I don't car who you are, what you are, or what power you have over me. I don't care!

I get to her house and I knock on the door. Curfew isn't till 11:30 so I will have some time to talk to Julie. I-I hate to admit this but... I think I love Julie. God, I never felt this way about anyone. Not even Sylvia. God! I hate this feeling!

Well, I guess I have to deal with this.

Her father opens the door and glares me down. Great. "Oh, well look who decides to show up, ever so very late. Get out of here delinquent," he says angrily and I glare him down. Hateful old man. All I want to do is talk to his daughter.

But, before he could shut the door in my face, Julie runs out of the house and onto the sidewalk. "Come on Dallas!" she says laughing as I run after her, her father yells for her and steps on the porch, but it's too late.

She's with me.

"Race you to the abandoned field!" Julie says energetically running towards the abandoned field, well she's happy. I try, hence try, to catch up with her but as soon as I get to the field I trip over a rock and fall face first into the grass.

"Well, I hope you achieved something out of this by making me fall," I say sitting up and looking at a laughing Julie beside me. I love the way she laughs.

"Well, watching you fail is really funny," she says laughing and I smirk at her,

"Oh really?"

"Yeah," she says giggling at me. I smirk at her and tackle her to the ground. "Who's laughing now?" I say smiling at her and she tries to shove me off her but, since she's laughing, she can't. "Dallas, get off me," she's says laughing even more, "Well, by the looks of it I don't think you want me off you."

"Dallas! It's not like that! I just can't shove you off me since I'm weak from laughing! I swear!"

"Oh, really?" I say smirking at her, and I get off her and she sits up and laughs a little more. "Well, anyway, I need to talk to you about something," I say laying down on back and Julie soon joins me.

Now, we're both starring at the stars.

Oh God! I hope this doesn't make me look.. soft... Greasers aren't suppose to be soft! They're meant to be tough!

"Dallas, you're blushing. And what did you want to talk to me about?" Julie asks giggling a little bit. Me! Blushing! This is making me look weak! I hate this feeling!

"Well, uhm, Julie you're my best friend and I can talk to you about things. And uh," I say very nervously, if you can't tell, and Julie giggles a little bit.

"Dallas, just get on with it. I haven't got all night."

"O-okay, I uhh have a crush on this girl and I-" I try to explain to Julie but she cuts me off. "Y-you have a crush on a girl?" she asks sadly and shocked at me. I wonder why she's doing that? Wait does this mean s-she likes me too! I mean I've always had a crush on Julie but I never thought she'd feel the same!

"Y-yeah, I do," I say nervously and I hear Julie let out a hopeless sigh. "S-she's just really beautiful, smart, kind, funny, and s-she's absolutely perfect and-" I don't even realize that I was rambling about Julie to even notice her crying beside me.

"Oh, she sounds very nice," Julie sadly says while wiping away her tears and I simply smile at her. "You know her," I say and Julie gives me a confused look, "Huh?"

"Well, that girl... is you."

Me and Julie just stare at each other and then we realize we're both thinking the same thing and we get closer and we start making out. I don't know how long we were there, just doing nothing but making out. Although I could have sworn someone saw, but my mind could be messing with me.

Well, after about 5 minutes of making out, I walk Julie home and kiss her goodbye on her porch. I never felt this way about anyone before. It's a great feeling, honestly, but I hope it doesn't make me look soft.

I head to my house and plop down on my bed to get some well earned rest. Tomorrow is going to be a great day. I get to see my sister tomorrow...

And tell her I'm sorry...

**Steve's P.O.V**

I stared hopelessly into the field trying not to let out a cry of despair.

My eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing. I want it to stop. Why isn't it stopping?

I back up a few steps and let the tears roll down my face. I couldn't believe it. Everything I wanted in life, everything I live for, and my chance at a happy life. Is gone..

This can't be real. This just can't be happening. It's all gone.

Snatched away from my grasp. Just when things were getting better...

gone..

it's all gone...

OHMYGOD FINALLY! ITS HERE! I apologize for this chapter being crappy, but its 5 A.M in the morning here and I am VERY tired and sleepy. So there may be a lot of mistakes. Sorry.

Well, anyway! I hope you enjoy!~
