((OOC: Isn't this ironic? After my character goes to the ER, I go to the ER. Lol, so yea, that's why I haven't been updating.))
After the nurse left because it was quite obvious that Cade was not going to let her anywhere near her with the needle, Ponyboy sat down by her bed,
"So, you OK?" Pony asked, looking at her.
She cocked an eyebrow at him, "Yea, what makes ya think I wouldn't be? Them Socs have got to do a lot more to kill me." She laughed.
"Well, Dallas was pretty worried…"
"NO, you're kidding right?"
"No. I ain't, he'd visit you but he went out to look for a job today, so you're stuck with me…and Soda….and Darry…and Two-Bit."
Cade rolled her eyes as soda popped his head in,
"Ha! Cade looks funny!" he laughed, and Cade couldn't help but grin. Even thought she's only known him a day, it felt like forever ago that she met them.
"Your face'll look funny." She growled, glaring at Soda. As he came in with the others,
"You take way too long so we're breaking the rules." He said, sitting down. On a rolling chair, twirling around in it,
"Is he always like this?"
Darry looked at Soda, thinking hard before nodding,
"Yea."
Dallas walked around downtown, clutching the newspaper, finding it damn near impossible to get a job, everyone had turned him down because of his police records. He sighed and went into his last job offer of the day, at a movie theater.
"Hello, I'm here to apply for a job." He said to the woman at the window,
"All righty then. Come around back and the boss'll interview you." they walked around back towards a small dark office.
"Okay, he's in there. He'll see you now."
Dallas walked into the office where a man was sitting organizing papers on the messy desk,
"Yes?"
"Um, I saw your job ad in the paper and I want to apply ofr a job.."
"I'm sorry, but we already filled the position, maybe next…"
"No, sir, please, you don't understand. I gotta take care of my sister who's in the hospital and to do that, I need a job, only for six months until she leaves." He said, getting desperate.
The man put the papers down and stared at him, looking for any signs of deception in his face,
"Fine, you start tomorrow. Now go visit your sister."
"So then I says to the guy, I says…"
"Can we get to the point before I die of boredom?" Darry said as Two-Bit was relaying an incredibly long story.
"Well, fine! So I says to this guy…..um….well thanks a lot Darry. I forgot,"
Everyone started laughing as Two-Bit struggled to remember the words. Just then the door opened and Dallas came in, and everyone else cleared out silently, shutting the door behind him.
"Hey there Dallas." Cade said.
"Hey."
Dallas fingered his leather jacket during the akward silence,
"So, why didn't you fight back?"
"huh?"
"when they were beatin' on you, you didn't fight back. You usually do."
"Because I didn't think they'd beat me as bad as they did, why are you asking me this? You sure as hell didn't let me know about this. And what is a greaser anyway?" she said.
Dallas looked at her,
"now listen kid, next time use your head, you don't walking around at night…"
"Oh. So now you care?" Cade shouted back.
Dally's eyes narrowed at his sister, trying to cool his rage.
