A/N: Okay the last chapter Dally (sorry I keep on mixing up their names) was about to tell Cherry what had happened but Soda stopped him claiming she was his
Chapter 4:
Confused
"She's my gal now!" Dally was surprised by Soda's anger. He had never seemed so mad before.
"Soda-" Soda looked at Cherry. She looked if she was about to cry
"Cherry" Soda put on a worried face, but was boiling inside
"Soda please let him tell me everything" Cherry was crying now and Soda wiped her tears away
"Soda you know how much I love you and you know I'd never leave you" Soda looked away
"Not when you hear everything Dally has to say" with that Soda walked into the garage while Steve came out.When he saw Dally he ran toward him and gave him a bear hug but quickly pulled away
"Hey man how you been" Steve tried to keep his cool but he was screaming so excitedly inside
"Jus' fine" Dally patted Steve's shoulder and he too noticed the ring
"Got engaged or married or somethin'?" Dally looked at his ring
"Engaged"
"Dude you should have not left cuz Soda fell in love with Cherry and vise versa." Dally looked down to the ground
"Um Steve could you excuse us for a moment, we need to talk about something" Steve nodded and as he was about to walk away he saw Soda and tears running down his face while cleaning his tools
"Steve go...please" Dally was ordering Steve to go just adding the "please". Steve nodded and walked into the garage.
"Do you want to go to the café a block from here" Cherry had a cheerful voice as always
"Yeah let's take the car." Dally opened the door for Cherry then as she sat in the tuff car and had a memory flash
Dally and Cherry were driving to the drive in when the car starting making weird noises.
"Not again well I guess we have stop by DX for a fix"
"It's okay Dally we can be late to the movie cuz it'll be dark, and you always say the darker the better" Dally smirked
"You know what baby"
"Hmm... what?" Dally took a hold of her hand
"When I get the money to buy a tuff car you're gonna be the first to ride in it alright?" Cherry giggled
"Alright"
Cherry looked at Dally wondering if she was the first person(except for 'Dally of course) to ride in his tuff car
"Dally?" Dally glanced at Cherry then turned his eyes back to the road
"Am I the first one to ride this car?" Dally suddenly remembered his promise and couldn't respond
"Am I?"
"No... my fiancee, Shirley, was the first one." Cherry looked down
'He had a fiancee?' She was shaking her head ' No why should you care?! You love Sodapop Curtis not Dallas Winston! You only want to get some info of your past from him! Snap out of it Cherry!!!' Dally noticed Cherry shaking her head so furiously that he had to actually hold her head to make her stop.
"Cherry you alright" Cherry stopped looked at Dally and noticed the position they were in. Dally started to lean in but Cherry pushed away abruptly.
'Honk' "Honk'
"It's a green light Dallas" He looked over at Cherry...........
"Dallas Winston!!!!!" Dally was in his boxers brushing his teeth when Cherry interrupted him in the doorway with her face red
"C-close the door or wear some clothes! It's only my second day staying here and I-I don't feel comfortable like that." Dally took the toothbrush out of his mouth and spit into the sink. And then he started walking toward Cherry who started to back away but was met by the hallway wall.
"You know I only let my mama call me that" Dally was coming close to close
"W-well..." He pushed her whole body to the wall and put his arms there so she couldn't escape.
"I don't like it when other people call me that especially when they say it disrespectfully..." Dally put his face really close to Cherry's which was making her really red
"Th-Then you shouldn't do disrespectful things." Dally backed away a little
"Me? I'm not the only one who sleeps in their under garmets at night!" Cherry eyes went wide
"Why you-"Cherry's face was so red it could blind someone. Dally started to laugh
"No I was tucking you in when I saw that you weren't fully clothed" Cherry pushed Dally against the opposite wall. And she stood on her toes to get face to face with Dally
"Look here Dallas- er I mean Dally I do not respect you invading my privacy or tucking me in at night or anything! Just like how you don't respect me calling you by your full name!!" Cherry's feet started to hurt and almost fell but was caught by a strong arm.
"Look I didn't mean to disrespect you or nothing so don't get mad..." Dally was getting his face closer to Cherry who closed her eyes and Dally kissed her. Cherry from then on didn't call Dally by his full name and Dally didn't invade Cherry's privacy, but Cherry and Dally started to sleep in the same bed so that didn't really matter.
"What's wrong Dallas?" Dally snapped out of his daze
"What?"
"Um you might want to move" Cherry pointed behind them. There were practically 20 cars behind him honking and screaming
"Oh right" Dally drove off and as he did the traffic light turned red so the cars had to wait again.
"Are you alright Dallas?"
"Cherry?"
"Yes?"
"Don't call me Dallas. I know you wouldn't remember but you promised me before that you wouldn't call me by my full name."
"Oh I'm sorry, but Dally?"
"Yea?"
"What did your fiancee call you?" Dally forgot
"Uh she called me Dallas-"Dally was going to expalin but..
"Then why do I have to call you Dally?"
"I never told her about my nickname so she never knew and everyone in her area called me that so-"
"Oh I see" Cherry just flashed him a smile. Dally smiled back
"Where is this café you were talking about?"
"You passed it at the traffic light" Cherry giggled
"What?"
"I was trying to tell you but you just drove"
"Oh" Then Dally noticed where they were on his street!
"Oh I remember this place!" Dally looked at Cherry with wide eyes
"You do?" Dally headed toward his old house
"Yea Soda and I used to drive on this street every now and then and he would tell me that I used to live here."
"Oh" Dally was upset and relieved at the same time
"Why don't we go to the drive-in?" Dally looked at Cherry in horror
"The drive-in?" Cherry was shocked by the look on Dally's face
"Yeah, Soda and I go there all the time"
"S-sure" Dally started toward the drive – in
"Soda?"
"Yea?"Soda started to wipe his tears away
"You alright man?" Steve put a hand on his shoulder
"Ye – no.." Soda was stuttering and Steve let out a sigh
"Look she was Dally's girl in the first place and he still loves her!"
"I know that but what about his fiancee?!
"He thought Cherry was dead because of him so he tried to forget about her until-"
"STOP!Just stop" Soda ran out of the garage toward his house
Dally and Cherry were watching the movie when Dally reached for her hand and she didn't pull away
"Cherry"
"Yes Dally?" Dally just sighed
"I-I love you"Cherry eyes went wide
"Wh-what?"
"I know you think you just met me but I've met you 2 years ago!" Dally was grabbing both Cherry's arms and facing her all the way
"Dally I-"Dally couldn't resist so he went ahead and stole a kiss from Cherry
'Wh-why do I feel this way?Why am I not pulling away?Oh my gosh I'm kissing him back!Cherry get yourself together!I'm actually liking this moment...wait...Soda!' After thinking of Soda Cherry pulled away suddenly
"Ch-Cherry" Dally was wiping his mouth
"Take me to DX"
"What? Why?"
"TAKE ME TO DX!!" Cherry was freaking out now
Without questioning Dally raced off to DX. When they got there Steve was working on a car as Cherry jumped out
"Steve where is Soda?!"
"Uh he is at his house I think" Steve didn't mention why
"Okay thanks" With that Cherry raced toward the Curtis house
"CHERRY!" Dally was following closely behind
Ponyboy was reading in his bedroom, Darry was paying the bills, and Soda was flipping through the channels.Nobody questioned Soda when he burst through the door.
"SODA!" Everyone looked at Cherry who just came through the door
"......." Soda couldn't speak
"Soda I-I you know how much I love you and-"Cherry sat next to Soda and leaned in to kiss him, but was stopped by Soda himself
"Yea I do, but this can't go on much longer"
"Sodapop" Darry was starting to get up
"No stop! It can't go on cuz Dally loves you Cherry and deep down I know you do too, so don't get all mushy with me and just leave me alone!" Cherry was shocked by Soda's outburst and tears stung her eyes as Soda went into the masterbedroom and slammed the door, cuz Pony was in theirs
"Cherry" Dally had come in right when Soda had his outburst and was coming closer and reached for her
"No don't touch me"tears started to run down Cherry's face
Cherry was confused, and so was Soda and Dally, but especially Darry and Ponyboy.
