They all, except Dally, who was just as shocked and just as everything as Blade was, continued to call her name. Finally, Matt screamed her name at the top of his lungs. It cut through her thoughts and shook her back to reality.
"D-dally." She stuttered. Matt's face turned to even more worry than it already was. Blade didn't stutter. Ever. She always kept her cool. She always had some sort of witty and sarcastic remark.
"Blade." Dally whispered. The four Greasers noticed Dally's expression change, but they couldn't read it. For someone like Blade and Matt, though, who had known Dally forever, it was easy to read the expression. It took them no time at all to read it. It was an expression of shame. By now the initial shock had worn off of Blade. She ran over to Dally and hugged him. To the surprise of the Greasers, Dally had no hesitation to hug her back. They stood there, hugging each other tightly for a while. They finally broke apart and they just looked at each other. Dally still had that shamed face to him.
"I'm not mad at you." Blade said softly. Dally's expression instantly changed. It was perfectly readable this time. It was happiness. He smiled.
"You're not?"
"No." Blade said shaking her head. "I'm not." Dally nodded, obviously happily.
"Let's talk." He said. Dally did have an explanation for the way he left. He thought Blade deserved an explanation and he wanted to give it to her. He felt like the luckiest person in the world because she wasn't mad at him. If anything, he thought she should be mad at him. They way he just left, without giving his best friend, his sister, an explanation. Blade nodded and Dally walked over to Matt. Matt wasn't as forgiving as Blade was. He and Dally were always really close friends as well. And what he thought of the way Dally had left…some friend.
"Matt…" Dally said offering a hand. Matt looked at it with disgust. Blade came over and lightly punched Matt in the back. Matt couldn't help it. He remembered all his wild adventures with his friend. All the laughs. He took the hand and hugged him.
"G-d damn, Dally!" He said. "What the fuck happened! Why!" Dally looked at Blade then back at Matt.
"Let me tell her first." He said. Matt nodded understanding.
"Uh…" Said Two-bit stepping up. "Will someone please say what the fuck is going on?" Dally ignored him. He motioned to Blade. They left to walk around.
"I had a reason for leaving…" Dally said. Blade just looked at him.
"Remember Jackson Bran?" He asked.
"The Hawk that died during a rumble?" Blade asked remembering the guy from one of her rival gangs.
"Yeah. Him." Dally said.
"What about him?" Blade asked confused.
"It was me…" Dally told her. "I killed him."
"So?" Blade asked still confused. "What's wrong with that? A rumble can lead to death. Everyone knows that. You don't go into a gang if you're scared to die."
"I know." Dally nodded. "And I ain't done nothing wrong. His brother didn't see it that way." Blade looked at him for him to continue. He did. "He was out to get me, Blade." Dally said. "And it ain't that I'm scared. It's just that I know if he were to come after me, all the Jets would have my back. I didn't want any Jet die. Because of me. So I left. " The Jets was the name of their gang.
"You left everything," Blade said. "To protect us?"
"Yeah." Dally nodded. "I did." Blade didn't say anything. She just hugged him.
"I knew you had a good reason!" She said with her arms around him. "I knew it! I'm so happy, Dal! I missed you!"
"I missed you too." Dally said still hugging her. It was funny. Neither Blade nor Dally was ever all emotional like this. But they had always been different around each other.
There's chapter five! Next chapter will have more detail on why Blade and Matt are in Tulsa. This is a crossover with West Side Story. If you've never seen it won't make a difference. You don't have to have seen it to understand the West Side Story bit. Now, about why Dally had to move to Tulsa, I don't agree with killing, don't get me wrong. It's just that if you're going to go into a gang and into a rumble, death is a common result.
And also, when I refer to 'Greasers', I know Blade and Matt are Greasers now too, but it's a lot easier, and it sounds a lot better to say 'Greasers' than it does to say 'Soda, Pony, Steve and Two-bit.' So there's chapter five! REVIEW! Thanks!
