Me no own The Outsiders


Chapter Seven….

Sitting on a bench huddled closely next to Dally, Kristina awaited for their lift to come. "You didn't tell her anything did you?" he asked, when he found out she asked Jenna for a lift to the train station he flipped out. "No alls I asked was for her to give us a ride to the train station and that we weren't running away to get married some place." Kristina said jiggling her leg up and down out of pure coldness. "Okay… Is that her?" Dally said pointing to a red mustang that stopped a few feet ahead. "Yea that's her, come on." she said getting up and walking towards the car.

"Thank you so much Jenna!" she said as she got in the passenger seat and Dally got in the back of the car.

"No problem, but you sure you two aren't running away to get married or anything?"

"Positive."

"Okay so to the train station?"

"Yea-" "No a little ways before it." Dally interrupted. "Okay! And I won't say anything to anybody just if your mom calls at my house and I'll tell her you're busy with the horses or something." Jenna said.

Crouched in the bushes by the train tracks both Dally and Kristina waited quietly. "Here it comes, right on time!" Dally said preparing himself to jump aboard. "When I say so jump." he added as the train came closer. Kristina prepared herself to be positioned like Dally, she was wondering what she should do she never hoped a train before. The train seemed to slow as it pasted and before she knew it Dally called "Go!" and she jumped up in the wagon with him. It was easier then she thought it would be.

"Now we wait…" she said softly a couple moments after they hoped on. "I'll keep watch for our stop and you can sleep." Dally said sitting down by the back box car walls. Kristina eyed him carefully as she sat next to him, "I don't think I'll be able to fall a sleep." she said softly, regretting that she didn't where warmer clothes. "I don't even know why I brought you." he said looking comically at her. She remained quiet laying her head against the wooden crate like wall. The last bit she remembered was cuddling closer with Dally and laying her head in his shoulder before drifting into a light sleep.

Slowly her eyes opened she must have been sleeping for an hour or two but it was still dark outside and the train rumbled on slowly. Her head still rest on Dally's shoulder and she felt the warmth of his arm around her waist. Picking her head off his shoulder she shrugged her shoulders yawning softly. "Didn't mean to fall asleep…" she said turning to him. "Its fine I told you, you could. Our stops coming up." he said. "Even if you didn't say I could I would have…" she said laying her head back on his shoulder. He chuckled softly, "You know you talk in your sleep?" he said before kissing the top of her head. "Oh god what did I say!" she said giggling. "Just a bunch of blurred words, couldn't make most of them out." "What did I say that you could make out?" He remained quiet.

"Dally?"

"Huh?"

"What did I say?"

"Nothing."

Sighing heavily she nestled her head against his shoulder. "What did those guys do to make Johnny and Pony kill one of 'em?" Kristina asked gazing out of the train, her eyes adjusted quickly to the darkness and she was able to make out just about anything they pasted. "Pony and Johnny where walking at the park and one tried to drown Pony and Johnny stabbed the one and he bled to death I'm guessing…" Dally said as if he wasn't fazed by it at all.

"They seemed so nice, even if Johnny doesn't talk." she said softly. "They both a couple of nice kids, Johnny though… Johnny doesn't have anybody to look after him except the gang, he is like our pet." Dally said shifting his weight. "What do you mean?" she asked looking up at him.

"His parents could care less about him; his dad is always beating him. I bet they wouldn't care if he was killed... they didn't before."

"Wait a minute… he was almost killed?"

"Yea by some Socs, they beat him near death we just found him in time." he said.

Kristina realized that alone Dally was much gentler then when he was around other people. She gasped softly, "Poor kid, I'll make sure they'll get out of this safe…" she said softly more to herself then Dally. "This is our stop." Dally said standing up followed in suit by Kristina.

"We're gonna jump again?"

"Yea."

"Just roll?"

Dally smirked and looked at her, "Whatever you want." he said grabbing her hand pulling her off the train with him. She couldn't help but to slightly scream.

Dally landed first and stumbled a few steps, landing on his feet while Kristina fell, a sharp pain running threw her ankle. Laughing he helped her to her feet. "You okay?" he asked looking her over. "Yea my ankle hurts a little but it will go away." she said dusting off her hands on her jeans. "Lets get a move on it's a bit of a walk." he said turning away from her and started walking.

Kristina followed Dally, who knew the path like the back of his hand. She was starting to lag behind after ten minutes or so but Dally still kept on at a steady pace. Paying more attention to her footing then the direction they where going she started to notice they where going up a hill and looked up on the top. "Is that is?" she asked softly increasing her speed. "Yea." he said. As they got nearer to the abandoned church she heard muffled movements. Dally stopped and whistled. Two heads poked out from behind the door, smiling gleefully seeing Dally.

"Dally! We didn't expect you so soon!" Pony said cheerfully opening the door wider for Dally to enter. "Neither did I." Dally said entering looking over his shoulder for Kristina. Both Johnny's and Pony's eyebrows shot up as they noticed her, and then they gave Dally and questioning look. "Uh, hi Kristina… that's your name right?" Pony said backing away from the door giving her plenty of room to enter. "Hi Pony, hi Johnny. Yea it's Kristina." she said smiling softly towards them. "She demanded that she come..." Dally said looking around the dark church, sitting down on the ground. She rolled her eyes, standing by Dally.

"Did you guys cut your hair?" she suddenly said mouth a gasped with astonishment. Dally shot them quick looks, "My god! You did, Pony did you dye yours too?" he said surprisingly. Both boys ran their hands over their head smiling sheepishly towards them. "A way of disguise…" Johnny said. "That was a good idea." she said taking a seat by Dally,

The grouped talked about what was going on back in the city for a little longer before deciding they would go to sleep. Still bundled up in her jacket, Kristina fell asleep, with her head resting on Dally's shoulder, like they had on the train.
