(AN: For this chapter, I'm going to try something new. It's going to be a diary entry. As I told you in the previous chapter, I'm going to speed up time a little. This chapter will sum up what happened from where I left off to three months later. This chapter might not be so long but I plan to make the next one very lengthy)

I Can't Live Without Your Kiss

Chapter 6

*Kayla's Diary *

Dear Diary,

I will never be able to put into words my feeling for Dallas Winston. He's my best friend, my boyfriend, and the love of my life. From the day I first layed eyes on him I knew it was meant to be. Although I had many doubts along the way, I now know that this is true love. I care for him every way imaginable and he does the same for me. It took awhile for us to realize this was the real thing, but now we're in it for the long run.

The past three months have brought us much closer. Our troubles and tribulations have only made out relationship that much stronger. Through the tears, the happiness and the laughter, we now know what love really is.

The rest of the gang is doing well, and some of them have even found true love themselves. Steve and Evie spend every waking hour together. To me it seems that they're relationship is as stable as Dally's and mine. Soda and Sandy have also grown to love each other. They talk about marriage and I do think they'll go through with that.

Johnny and Ponyboy are still continuing with school. Pony's a really smart kid and Johnny keeps with it because he wants an education. Darry and Two- Bit both got jobs. Darry got a job roofing houses, and Two-Bit works at the DX with Steve and Soda.

School life has been very rough for me. Besides Sandy and Evie, Cherry is my only other girl friend. Marcia totally abandoned her because she hangs out with the gang and me. Cherry's boyfriend Bob has had enough of it also. He says if she doesn't stop talking to me, he'll break the relationship off. I keep telling Cherry again and again to let him do this but she says it's not right. She loves Bob. It's quite a shame that he doesn't love her.

Bob and his gang have still been giving me a tough time about Dallas. They remind me everyday of all his faults and everything bad he'd done. By now it doesn't faze me. It just feels like that's life.

A few days ago, Sodapop got a call from Alicia. She told him how much she misses him and how she wants him back. Soda then told her about Sandy. Ally cried and told Soda she hates him. She screamed and told him that Sandy wouldn't treat him good. Sodapop hung up on her. She didn't try to call back.

As you now can tell, these past months have been rough. Fortunately, we all got through them in one piece. Fortunately, we're still going strong. I don't know how I could survive without Dally. Hopefully I won't ever have to find out. I can't live without his kiss.

XxXxXxX

I know, I know, very short. But I had to tell you guys what happens in those three months. I know I really didn't go into detail about Kayla and Dally and what has brought them closer together, you will find that out in the next chapter.

You see, this is where the story actually begins. Everything else was just leading up to this part.

Hope you like it and please review!
