Selene's POV

I didn't know what to do. Everything was come crashing down. Our house was robbed and a letter from Dally was slipped into my locker, a fake no doubt I didn't even bother reading knowing there was no way Dal would have been able to get into my school.

Every night I would pray for things to get better and for Dally to come back. I felt so sick and so sad without him and I knew it was a matter of time before Hope did something worse. I confided in Ponyboy.

No matter how hard we tried to convince Two-Bit she was no good he wouldn't listen. I felt despair and felt as if there were walls closing in on me. It didn't help that Chino kept bothering my family and I knew if he didn't leave we would have to move and I would never see Dally again.

Months passed. This time three months passed before Dally came back. I cried and cried to him and he said he didn't know what he was going to do about Hope and Two-Bit, perhaps have the gang cut off contact with him. The reunion was sweet but short. Nothing seemed to be going right anymore.

One day when I went to the Curtis house to see Ponyboy I saw Two-Bit there with Hope and I glared at her and Pony suggested we take a walk.

I told him about Dally returning and nobody else knew because he was staying at my home. I didn't want Hope to know this.

"Selene she's gonna find out sometime…" Pony said trying to be helpful.

"I hope something bad happens to her! I wish she were never here! Things would be better…" I said in a sorrowful voice.

Pony had nothing else to say so we parted ways and I went back home, happy to return to Dally. He was the only comfort I had.

"Things are gonna get better soon Blue Streak…" he said in a comforting voice.

"Do you think…maybe we should press charges against Hope so she'll be put in jail?" I asked.

"She's a cops daughter, and a Soc at that. Nobody is gonna believe two Greasers." Dally said with a empty voice.

"What're we gonna do Dally? She ain't gonna leave us alone until you are dead…" I said in a sad voice.

"I really didn't want it to come to this but…let's run away together Selene." He said.

"Are you serious Dally?" I asked.

"Yes I am serious. Let's run away." He said, seriousness in his voice.

I didn't know what to say or what to do, I would miss my family and friends so much but I wanted to be with Dally. I was at crossroads and I didn't know what to do.
