Chapter 7
Dally looked down at me. " What did you say?" he asked, shocked.
"I said I love you too. In the hospital room. You told me you loved me." I said, repeating what I remembered.
"You...you remember?" he asked, his heart lifting with every word.
"Yea. Well..it's a little fuzzy, but it's coming back slowly. " I commented. He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me tightly.
"I do love you. I always have." He whispered into my ear. I felt tears fall from my eyes as I wrapped my arms around his neck. He slowly rubbed his hand up and down my back. He leaned back onto the bed and took me with him. I laid on his chest and made myself comfortable. He pulled the blankets up around us and soon we were both out like lights.
"WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!?" I heard a voice yell. I felt Dally jump beneath me and sit up straight as I did the same. I recognized that voice. It was Darry. Oh lord. I thought looking towards the door.
"WHAT IS GOING ON DALLAS?!?!?" He asked reaching over and pulling me behind him. Dally stared at him.
"She woke up having a bad dream and I came into check on her.. She.." he started before Darry interrupted him.
"What did you do to her? She has fucking amnesia! You could have done anything." He said, turning to me. "What did he do to you? Come on baby tell me." His voice had softened considerably.
"Darry. He didn't do anything. I remembered everything. I have my memory back. I love him Dar. I love Dally." I said as I took his hand and stood next to him. Darry's mouth dropped open.
"You what?" He asked as he glanced at Dally.
"I love him and he loves me." I told him.
"Your to young to know what love is." He said sitting down.
"No, I'm not! I know that I love Dally and would do anything for him." I explained, or tried to at least.
"That's the problem. You are to young to know any better than to do anything for him." Darry exclaimed, putting emphasis on anything.
"Darry, you know damn good and well that it's not like that. " Dally said growling at him.
"Hell it aint! You know all you want is what every other guy in this town wants! Well newsflash! You aint getting it from my sister!" He yelled as he tried to push me behind him again. I resisted, but was pushed there anyway.
"Darry! Don't you know me well enough to know I love her?!?" Dally asked. I walked back around Darry and to Dally. I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"I love him Darry. If you can't accept that, then I'm leaving." I said calmly. Darry looked at me and walked out of the room. I heard the screen door slam and I broke down into tears, in Dally's arms.
"Why can't he understand?" I asked no one in particular. Dally just kept stroking my hair and letting me cry on him. This went on for the next few hours. In that time, all the guys had left the house, no of them saying a word. I knew where they all were, but did it matter? They didn't care if I was happy or not.
"Dally, can we liked go somewhere? Away from the house. Drive to the next town and back or something?" I asked, my eyes pleading with him.
"Sure thing, baby." He said as I climbed off of him and got dressed, while he went to start the truck. He both climbed in a few minutes later. Unbeknownst to Dally I had written my brothers a letter telling them that I wasn't coming back and that I loved them very much, but I had to do what I felt was right. And what was right was going with Dally and getting married. Dally didn't know this part either. I hadn't bothered to tell him and wasn't gonna until we got farther away from this town. I knew he would object if we were right here in the middle of this town, he might not if we were elsewhere.
It was about 2 hours into the next city and I don't remember any of the drive, because I was sleeping. Dally woke me up about noon and asked me what I wanted to eat.
"Well, it depends." I said.
"On what?" he asked.
"If I can have you or not." I teased playfully. He looked at me and grinned.
"Well, not for dinner, maybe for dessert." He replied.
"If I can't have you, then I'll take a cheeseburger. " I said as I smiled.
"Deal." He said. We drove through drive through and he ordered for us as I watched the countryside pass by. He pulled out of drive through and handed me my burger and a coke.
"Thanks." I said. We parked and ate as we watched people drive past. We sat for a while and watched this couple, that from what I gathered had just found out that they were having a baby. We watched as the guy freaked out and the girl did the same. Dally being Dally, laughed his head off.
"Dally, can I ask you something?" I asked as his laughing calmed down a bit as they drove off.
"Of course baby." he said turning to me, and drinking a sip of his coke.
"What do you think about Marriage?" I asked, slowly looking into his eyes. He choked on his coke for a moments, before regaining his composure and staring at me.
"Why?" he questioned.
"I thought...well...you love me right?" I took his hand and waited for his answer.
"Yes. I love you." He answered.
"Then, why can't we get married? We can go to the Justice of Peace here and let him marry us." I suggested, carefully. Dally's eyes had widened with shock.
"Marry us? We just got together this morning!" He exclaimed.
"Dally." I said taking his hands. "I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Don't you want that?" I asked looking into his eyes.
"No. I mean yes. I don't know. I love you, I really do, but get married?" he asked. I nodded slowly.
"When I told Darry I loved you with all my heart, I meant it. " I said as I scooted closer to him. I situated myself facing away from him, and leaning back onto his chest. I could feel his chest rise and fall as he inhaled. I heard him sigh slowly.
"If that's really what you want baby. To elope, then we will go get married. I just want you to be happy." I turned around as he said this and squealed. I kissed him on the mouth and smiled as I kissed him repeatedly.
"Thank kiss You kiss! I kiss Love kiss Youkiss! " He grinned and started the truck.
(Dally's POV)
I wanted to make her happy so bad, I couldn't tell her no. I knew she was only doing this to prove her brothers wrong. She was like that. I had known that since I met her. I loved her more than anything else in this world, but marriage was a big deal. I wasn't about to tell her that though. I was hoping she would back out soon and just say, "Okay. Nevermind. I love you and all, but Im not ready for this." She hadn't said it yet, but I was waiting on it. In all seriousness, I wasn't ready for this.
(Kellys POV)
I watched him as we drove. There was so much going on behind those blue eyes, I could tell. He had a determined look about him and was smirking slightly. We stopped at the Justice of Peace's house. Dally got out and opened my door. I took his hand as I climbed out and we entered the small room in the front of the Priest's house.
"I always enjoy marrying younger couples. So much left to live for and then they are sharing it together. It fills me with such joy. " The Priest said quietly as we stood in front of the arch that we were about to be married under. He repeated the vows that everyone hears and then:
"Dallas Do you take this woman to be your wife, for richer or poorer, through sickness and in health, till death do you part?" Dally smiled at me.
"I do." he stated simply. I heard the priest start my vow to him and it suddenly clicked in my head. What was I doing? How could I get married? Im 16! I waited until the priest asked me.
"I..." I said looking at Dally who smiled at me softly. "I...I can't."
