A/N, Ok this is a meaningful conversation between Dally and Leah. There's not a lot of dialogue between them, and most of it are Dally's thoughts on the situation.
Disclaimer: Leah is the only character that is mine.
Dally's POV
I looked outside and saw Leah sitting on the Curtis's porch.
There was something about that girl. I don't know what, she was a little
crazy. Johnny seemed to really like her though. Damn, I wasn't ready for
him to be liking girls. Even if he is 16 years old, he's still Johnnycakes.
I decided to maybe give her a little talk, explain my ideas. I opened the
screen door and heard the small squeak. Leah was sitting on the porch steps,
hands on her lap, looking straight into the sky. I sat down next
to her and looked at my feet.
"Hey Kitten, I greeted her, ummm what are you doing?"
She broke her gaze and looked straight at me and grinned. That grin.
It was infectious. I couldn't help but smile a little bit myself. Me, Dallas
Winston, tough hood, grinning like an idiot.
"Hey Dally, she greeted me with that soft drawl of hers, I know that
you're worried about me hurting Johnny. Don't worry, I would never do that
to him"
She then gave a sort of soft, sad smile. I was shocked.
"How'd you know that's what I wanted to talk about?"
She looked straight at me, green eyes sparkling.
"You can't deny it Dallas"
I felt a small shiver go up my back when she called me Dallas.
Sure it was my real name, but I was Dally. We all learned that when she
was being serious she called you by your real name.
" I know you really care about Johnny, she said, I can tell of you
do. I would never, never hurt him"
I stammered, "Ok, yeah I guess I kinda like the kid."
Again she gave me that look. "It's ok Dally, just because your a Greaser
doesn't mean you have to hide caring about someone."
Ok I know that she's only 16, but when she said that she seemed years
older. I'm never gonna admit it out loud, but she's right. I do care. I
care about the gang, I care about Johnny,and I think I'm starting to care
about her too. Oh hell no, not romantically or anything like that. I could
already tell that she was gonna be Johnny's girl. In a way, I was kinda
proud of the kid. Leah was a great girl. Feeling good about the situation
I started to go inside. Just as I opened the door I heard her voice.
" Dally?"she asked.
I turned to look at her, hand on the door, foot stepping inside.
"Yeah Kitten?"
" The stars are really beautiful aren't they?" She gazed at the sky,
looking totally serene. I looked up at the night sky. Black, blue, and
with a thousand tiny golden dots. I gave her a small smile myself.
"Yeah Kitten, they sure are," I said and stepped inside the house.
That's chapter 6, I hope you enjoyed it. Please R/R. Firechild.
