Chapter 54

I do not own any of the characters besides Candy

It was several hours before Darry and Soda got back with Pony and Johnny. There were greasers passed out all over the house and the front yard. Cherry Valance had to leave she claimed it was getting late and would come by this weekend to talk to Pony and Johnny. I was about to pass out my self trying very hard to keep my eyes open. I looked at my watch and it was almost 2 am and still nothing. Dally was passed out with his head in my lap on the couch. Until finally I saw head lights pull into the drive way. I could tell it was Darry's truck.

"Dally wake up they are back" I said shaking him

"Huh" he sat up

"They are back" I said again

"Oh" he said getting up all the way.

The screen door opened and they all came in.

"Whats all of these people doing here" Pony asked

"Some people do actually care about you kid" Darry said

"Thanks Candy" Pony said looking at me

"For helping I knew I could count on you" he said.

"No problem" I smiled at him

"So what did they say and what took so long?" Dally asked

"Paper work for one when we got there they had not even been booked in yet and that too so fucking long" Soda said

"They pretty much took their sweet ass time" Darry said

"And we had to sign them out on bond they have to stay in my custody until the court date. Which apparently should be mailed to us soon. The detective still thinks they have a good chance of getting off and its just a wait game until then" Darry continued

"Oh and we need as many witness as we can get. Friends, family, boys teachers maybe telling the judge how good the boys are for the court date" he said

" I really want you and Dally to testify" Darry looked at me and said

"Of course" I said

" I am there for yah" Dally said

"Alright good" Darry said

"We got a lot of things to do before then and we got to the boys a lawyer some how to help" Darry said

"Our cousin is one in Moore county" Tim said

"I am sure he will be glad to help he owes me a favor anyway" he said

"Good deal" Darry said

" I will get in touch with him in the morning" Tim said

"Alright guys lets go to bed everyone is welcome to crash if they can find a place to crash" Darry said looking around the living room. Most of them had already passed out any where they could.

"Come on Doll lets get some sleep" Dally said putting his hand out for me to grab it and he pulled me up off the couch as I did.

Dally led me into our room by my hand and shutting the door behind us and locking it.

Turning around and kissing me really deeply. Holding my hands in his.

"I love you" he said looking into my eyes

"I love you" I said

"How much do you love me?" he asked

"More than you know, why do you ask babe" I asked him

He looked into my eyes and I knew then what he was about to say

" I need to fight in it Doll" he said

"I got to prove my point"

I just dropped his hands and my eyes went to the floor.

"What happened to never breaking a promise?" I asked him

"I know" Dally said sighing

"Apparently not or you wouldn't of just said that" I said

"I have to doll" he said again

"No you don't Dally" I yelled a little

"Doll please don't get upset" he said trying to grab my hand as I turned away.

The tears started building up in my eyes as he tried to grab my hand again

"Please doll don't cry I hate when you cry" he said

"What do you expect me to do your breaking a promise to me. That is like breaking a vow to me" I said

I turned and looked at him

"I guess its one thing to break a promise to me. But your breaking a promise to our son and that has got to make you feel like shit" I said looking straight into his eyes.

By looking at him I could just tell I ripped the guys heart out and just stomped on it.

"He is only 3 weeks old Dally. Just remember that" I said walking to our bed and climbed in and just started to cry into my pillow.

Dally came over and laid down too. But facing the other direction towards the window. I couldn't even fall asleep and I don't think he did either because I didn't hear him snoring. At about 6 am little man started to cry and I got up with him. I took him into the kitchen to make a bottle. I heard the front door close I just figured one of the many greasers that stayed here last night was leaving. I gave him his bottle in the kitchen that way I wouldn't wake up no one. I went back into our room and put him down in the crib and turned around. Dally was gone. Just a note on the bed that read.

I am sorry I will make it up to you. I will be back soon. Love Dally.

My heart just sank that he would actually leave and not tell me anything. I honestly didn't know what to do. I could only lat there holding the note and cry.

I feel asleep holding Dally's letter and pretty much crying my eyes out to the point and drained my self from crying so much that I passed out.
