Two months later…
Darry stepped out of the Curtis household to gather the mail.
He took slow steps back into the house and up the stairs, looking through the mail. "Hey Dally! Got a letter here for you!" He called.
The toe-headed man looked up from wrestling and pushed Two-bit off of him to go grab the envelope. "It's from Laney!" He said with a smile.
He went outside to read her letter. He had only talked to her once since she had moved when they decided that long-distance friends is much easier that long-distance relationships. It had broken his heart to see her move and leave him, but family came first, and he understood.
He ripped open the letter and pulled out the paper, unfolding it to find her school picture. She looked radiant.
He placed it aside as he sat on the front steps to read her letter:
Dearest Dally,
Life has been boring here without you. You need not worry about me finding anyone out here in New Jersey. They are all complete jerks.
Well Seems my mother is still entranced with my father. Thanks to all the time I spent with you guys, I can keep him from hitting me. He only tries when he is drunk, and we all know how easy it is to fool a drunk.
He laughed at that part. It was a joke she made about their night together. But what she didn't know is since then, he hadn't been with any other woman. She made sex become something special to him. He now understood why married couples could find so much pleasure in each other.
Well anyway, seems life is slowly returning to normal. There are no gangs around here, but I have found a new love for the beach. The boardwalks are nice, and the weather is pleasant all year round. No snow really.
Her first letter in two months, and she talks about the weather?! He laughed again.
I hope you like my picture. I'll be sure to send you some of the girls down here. I'm sure you'll love them and their skanky clothes. I know the guys will at least.
Make sure to tell Two-bit that there are Mickey Mouse stuffed animals over here, and let Soda know the girls always like a guy who can make people laugh. Pony and Johnny would find plenty of girls down here that would love their childish innocence, and there are tons of book stores.
Oh, and let Steve know there is a beauty supply store around every corner.
And for good old Darry? Tell him to stay there. The football team around here stinks!
And for you? What could possible lure you down here? Well there is one girl who has heard so much about you and is missing you sorely. Bet you can guess who that is.
"Aw honey…" He muttered with a smile.
That's I all I can write for now. Remember that I love you and I will be back someday. I don't know when, but I will be.
Yours forever, heart and soul,
Laney
He smiled and he almost folded the note away, but then he noticed one last note at the bottom.
P.S. I'll be sure to tell our child about you…
He sat in shock for a second then stood up, screamed then threw the door open to the Curtis household. "Who's up for a road trip?!"
A/N: AND dramatic reverb ENDSCENE! Lol, like it? Let me know! I'll write a sequel if someone wants it…
