"Sugar. We're moving. Back to New York." Dally said, he looked her straight in the eyes. He watched her's fill with tears.
"N-N-NO! DALLY WE AREN'T! I NEED SOME SAY IN THIS TOO!" "No, we are moving, and that's final." "But what about Johnny? And the rest of the gang. We, I, NO! PLEASE!" Tears slid down her cheeks.
"Don't cry, I'm only tryin' to protect you." "Protect me? Really? You couldn't have thought of that before you left for New York the first time? I'd rather go live with 'them', then leave Johnny and Tulsa." Dally knew she was talking about her parents whenever she said 'them'.
"No Sugar! You live with me now, and we are movin'. That's it." "You know what Dally? I really fucking hate you! Just leave me alone for the rest of my life, will ya?" She grabbed her black leather jacket, and some cigarettes off the table, and left.
Dally ran out the door after her, but he couldn't find her. He checked the beach, the lot, and the Curtis' house. He had the whole gang out looking for her, except Ponyboy.
After almost 5 hours of searching they all went to Buck's place for a drink. That's where the found her. Drunk out of her mind, with her arms around Danny. Dally's eyes were red, and his knuckles were white from clenching his fists so hard.
Dally walked up to Danny and pushed him off his sister. Johnny took her in his arms. Two-Bit held his switchblade up to Danny so he couldn't move, and the gang surrounded him.
"I told you what would happen to you if you touched my sister again." Dally said getting ready to punch Danny. "I didn't touch her. She came up to me." Danny said, trying to convince the gang. "Nice try, but I know my sister better than that. Even if she was drunk, she wouldn't touch you."
They all calmed down. Johnny, took Sugar back to the house, and got her settled down. When the gang got the Sugar was throwing up. Dally rushed over to her, and pulled her hair back. Sugar just pushed him away, and walked outside. Everyone went silent. Dally went outside after her. She was sitting on the top step with her face in her hands. Dally put his arm around her and she hugged him.
"Oh Dally! I'm so sorry. I never meant to get mad at you or get drunk. It just sorta happened, ya know? And I lied, I couldn't stand livin' without ya. I love you Dal." She wouldn't look at him, but she knew he understood.
"Hey, look kid. I'm sorry. I never meant to force this on you. I just, I want to protect you. I don't want you to freak or anything. But we are moving. I'm sorry. I love you too." He wiped the tears away from Sugar's eyes. "Yeah, I know... I'll move on three conditions though." "Huh? And what's that?" "One- Stop callin' me kid. Two- promise that you'll never leave me. And three- we come back to visit." "Deal. Now lets get you inside, it's freezin' out here!" He smiled as he helped her up.
Everyone left and Sugar went to bed. Dally stayed up and started to pack. After a while he stopped and went to bed.
