The Last Time I saw You
Chapter 7 Runaway
Dallas wasn't in prison as long as he thought he would be. 2 months wasn't really that bad considering what he did. The cops did shoot him though. Maybe it was their penance. He wasn't quite sure. But all he cared about was that he was out. He couldn't take staying here. He had to leave Tulsa. He didn't know why but he just had to. So late that night he got Buck's T-Bird and started driving. He didn't know where he was going. He didn't care. As long as it wasn't in Tulsa.
'Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)'
A few days later he found himself back in his old neighbourhood. He looked out the car window. It looked just like he remembered it. He didn't have anywhere to go. So he went to the only place he could think of. He drove up to his mom's house. He hoped they still lived here. He got out of the car and knocked on the door. He hadn't seen his mom since he moved to Tulsa with his dad. That was about 5 years ago when he was 13. Even if it was undesired. It was a few minutes before someone opened the door. There stood a blond girl with stormy blue eyes. Just like himself. She looked him up and down.
"Who the fuck are you,"She snapped. It clicked In Dally's brain. She was his sister.
"Gloria Winston bute your tongue and watch your language,"A voice called from inside the small house.
The girl called Gloria sighed and rolled her eyes and closed the door. A few minutes later the face of LeeAnne Winston appeared in front of him.
"Hello Mom,"He said looking at the shorter yet older woman that was his mother.
Her purpleish eyes widened and lit up at his greeting.
"Dallas oh I havent' seen you in year,"She told her eldest son hugging him "What brings you here?"
"I've come home."
'I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind'
Dally's mom welcomed him back with open arms. Gloria didn't seem all that excited that he had come back. It was like nothing could please her.
"MOM!"Gloria screamed.
"What is it now,"LeeAnne replied sighing. She was trying to make breakfast before she went to work and Gloria kept interrupting her.
"I have to use the bathroom NOW!"Gloria said through gritted teeth.
"I SAID I'LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE SO FUCK OFF,"Dallas growled from behind the door.
"You heard your brother wait your turn,"LeeAnne said.
"Ah. So you let him hog the bathroom and swear all he wants but I can't do shit. That's fucking great mom. You should win fucking mom of the year,"Gloria replied storming to her room and slamming the door.
"GLORIA WINSTON WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU NEED THE BATHROOM THIS SECOND!"LeeAnne screamed following her daughter.
"I'M GUNNA GO HANG WITH THE GIRLS. SO I NEED TO GET READY!"
"You know I don't like you hanging out with those girls."
"MOM I'M 18 I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I LIKE,"She yelled storming out of her room and out of the front door.
'Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)'
Starrla sat up in her windowsill and looked up at the starry night sky. She puled her sweater closer to her body. It was a frosty cold December night. She shivered. Lately she only comtemplated herself and not others. She sighed. She hadn't told her brothers yet. She could easily just get rid of her problem a number of ways not involving a dcotor. But she outruled all but one. But she'd rather not do that.
"Fuck,"She yelled and punched her wall from the inside of her room.
"Starrla don't punch the wall,"Darry called from downstairs.
Starrla sighed and crawled in her room from her window. She swallowed her pride. It's time. Time to tell him. Them. Her brothers. She only hoped they'd be understanding.
'I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind'
Nothing was really going that great at Dallas' house anymore. Gloria and him didn;t really get along very well even though they were twins. Gloria appeared to hate him. The feeling was apparently mutual.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE BATHROOM!"Gloria yelled pounding on the door.
"GIVE ME A SEC. FUCK YOUR SUCK A FUCKING PUSHOVER."
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU JACKING OFF IN THERE?"She yelled again.
"FUCK GLORIA CAN'T YOU JUST WAIT A FUCKNIG MINUTE. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S GUNNA FUCKING KILL YOU!"
"FUCK YOU!"Gloria yelled kicking the door almost breaking it.
Dallas ripped open the door. She shoved Ggloria out of his way which amde her fall on the floor. He stormed downstairs and out the front door.
"YOU WANT ME GONE SO BAD. FINE I'M GONE!"He yelled.
The front door slammed shut. Dallas Winston got into his car. NamelyBuck's car. He started itr and started to drive to the only place he could think of right now. He started to drive his way back to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
'I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye

Gonna runaway, gonna runaway. Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
I'm gonna run away and open up my mind
Gonna runaway, gonna runaway

Starrla walked down the stairs. Her brothers sat in the living room. Ponyboy was working on his homework and Darry was doing the bills. Soda however was still at work. Starrla looked around nervously.
"Darry can I ah talk to you?"She asked.
"Sure Starsky. What is it?"He asked outting down what he was worknig on.
Starrla looked at Ponyboy "Alone."
Darry got that seerious look on his face "Sure,"He replied.
Ponyboy looked at Starrla suspiciously. Starrla walked and into Darry's room and sat on his bed. He followed and closed his door. He sighed.
"What is it Starr?"He asked.
Starrla bti her bottom lip and looked at her feet. She could feel her brothers harsh gaze upon her. It felt like a huge weight had been dropped on her shoulders.
"Well?"He asked getting slightly irrtated.
"I, I, I'm,"She stuttered,
Darry let out a frustraited sigh "Spit it out Starsky."
Starrla looked up at her brother. She swolled the lump that had grown in her throat.
"I'm pregnant,"She said almost inaudible. But she knew Darry heard.
"You're what?"Darry said his voice rising.
Starrla opened her mouth to say it again but Darry cut her off.
"You know I don't even wanna hear it,"Darry's voice was rising "How could you be so IRRESPONSIBLE. YOUR BARLEY 17. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEYU OR TIME FOR THIS. WHAT WOULD MOM AND DAD SAY HUH?"Darry yelled.
Silent tears ran down her face "I'm sorry I didn't mean to I.........,"Darry cut her off.
"You know your beginning to sound like Ponyboy."
Starrla's eyes widened and narrowed. "Don't treat me ot Pont like that is isn't fair to us and by the way I know what I did was wrogn but at least I can own up to it and admit it."
Darry glared at Starrla "Who's?"He asked venomously.
"NEVERMIND THAT NOW,"Starrla yelled.
Darry grabbed her arm in a vice liek grip and pulled her towards him. She jerked forward and let out a whimper.
"Who's is it?"He asked loudly.
"DARRY LET GO YOU'RE HURTING ME."
"WHO'S IS IT!"He yelled.
There was an akward silence.
"Dally's,"She replied quietly.
Darry's expression changed for a moment but went back. Starrla was shaking. For the first time in her life she was scared of her brother. But he didn't hurt her. He let go of her arm.
"Go to your room,"He said.
Starrla quickley ran out of his room and across the hall into her own. She covered her face in her pillow and cried.
'I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind'
After Darry and Starrla's episode Darry waited a half an hour before going back downstairs.
Ponyboy and Sodapop sat on the couch. They looked at Darry. He could tell Soda came home when Starrla and Darry were yelling. Soda looked at Darry with sad eyes.
"What was that about?"Pony asked.
"You 2 never fight, What's wrong?"Soda asked his warm brown eyes pleading.
Darry sighed and shook his hea. He leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Well?"Pony asked.
"She's pregnant."
The room fell silent. It was so quiet if I pin dropped you could hear it. The tension was so thick you had to cut through it with a knife. Pony cleared his throat,
"Well who's is it?"He asked.
Darry rubbed his temples "Dally's."
Soda looked at Darry "Nice way to be supportive Darry just ytell at her. You know she can't stand it when you yell at her,"Soda snapped.
"Look Soda if I knew before I started telling I wouldn't have. I know how hard Dally's death was on her. And all of us."
Soda just walked over and hugged Darry.
"I'll go talk to her,"Soda said walking up the stairs to Starrla's room. There was an akward silence until Soda came running down the stairs.
"Starrla's gone."
'I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind'
