Last Chapter...
"And just where do you suggest I get a job?" I asked.
"Dingo, DX, Dairy Queen?" She suggested.
"I'm not working at Dairy Queen." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Ok, so that leaves the DX and Dingo." She said.
"I doubt I'll get a job at the DX because I don't know much about cars and I'm not running the register." I told her.
"Ok, well you can check and see. And there is always the Dingo. I'm pretty sure you can get a job there, doing something." She said smiling.
Now, on with the story.
DALLAS' POV
I was walking down to the Dingo to see if they had any job openings when I ran into, Jerome Weathers.
"Hey Dallas, how's the girl?" He asked coldly.
"Why would you want to know Jerome? You and Crystal don't hang out."
"I have my reasons." He said. Then the thought hit me, he's was the one that had raped Crystal.
"You bastard." I said.
"What's your problem Winston?" Jerome asked with a shocked expression on his face.
"You hurt my girlfriend." Was all I said to him.
"Oh yeah? Prove it." When he said that it made me really mad. I swung at him and hit him right in the mouth. He wiped his hand over his mouth to get the blood off and then he hit me in the stomach. When I could breathe again is hit him in the eye, which would probably give him a good shiner. He hit me pretty hard in the ribs. That would be bothering me tomorrow and it was the second time with in the last month that my ribs had been hurt. The fight lasted a little while longer until I punched him really hard in the ribs and he fell. I turned and started walking back to my place.
I had to find a job, but I just wasn't in the mood to do it right now. When I got back to my room, Becky and the kids were gone and Crystal was sitting on the bed reading a book.
"Did you find a job?" She asked with out looking up. I didn't answer. Crystal looked up at me.
"Glory, Dallas!" She said jumping up and trying to get me to sit on the bed. "What happened?"
"Got in a fight." Was all I said.
"With who?"
"Jerome Weathers."
"Who is he?" I asked.
"You know who he is. Or at least you should." I said a little louder than I should have.
"Dallas, calm down." She said taking a step backwards. When I saw that I had scared her, I was really sorry.
"I'm sorry." I said in a so low that I'm not even sure she could have heard me.
"It's all right." She said moving back over to clean up the cut on my head. I'm not sure how it got there. I don't remember it at all. After she cleaned up all of my cuts, she started to wrap my ribs.
"Ouch." I said and left took in a sharp breathe of air. My ribs hurt. It hurt even more when she tried to wrap them and when I tried to breathe.
"I'm sorry, but this will help." She said continuing to wrap the bandage around my sore ribs. "Ok, all done. Now you lay down and rest while I go to the store to get some aspirin." She said.
"I don't want you walking alone." I told her.
"Dally, it's not far from here to the DX. I'll be fine." She said.
She left before I had the chance to stop her. Hopefully she would be fine walking from here to the DX by here self. Maybe one of the guys would be there and walk her back or Soda would walk her back when he got off or something.
I must have fell asleep because the next thing I remember is waking up and Becky was playing with Melissa and Andrew.
"Where's Crystal?" I asked sleepily.
"Her and Steve went to the Dingo to get some food for all of us." Becky said.
"Oh, goodie. My girlfriend with Steve." I said sarcastically.
"Hey! Steve is my boy friend and he isn't interested in your girlfriend." Becky said defensively.
"Don't make me laugh Becky."
"Why does it hurt?" Becky said.
"What are you doing trying to get revenge?"
"Yes." She said smiling evilly.
"Don't hurt him too bad." Crystal said from the door way. Crystal and Steve had brought back lots of food. I was glad too, because I was really hungry. I tried to sit up, but the pain in my ribs were so bad that I was forced to lay back down.
"Take it easy." Crystal said. "Oh, was looking through the paper today and there is a house right down the road from the Curtis' that is pretty cheap and it has four bedrooms."
"Oh, that would work just peachy if we could afford it."
"We'll be able to. I have enough money that we can go ahead and make down payment." Crystal said.
"Just how much is the down payment?" I asked her.
"Two hundred dollars." She said.
"How much is the whole house?"
"They're letting it go for a thousand."
TheAngryPrincess13- Thanks for your review. Yes, I've seen the movie. I actually taped it twice...lol. I'm not sure if the red headed kid was Curly or not. Because remember Tim said at the rumble that Curly was sent to the reformatory for six months. That was a good question though. I've been doing a lot of writing lately too. So I should update more. Be on the look out for the updates...lol. Keep reading and reviewing.
