Finding A Way Home

Dally's POV

"Stacy, there's no need for violence." I said putting my hands up in defeat. "'I don't even have a blade." I slowly tried to move away from the blade, Stacy would kill me if she had to or maybe just for the fun of it.

"Dallas Winston you know you shouldn't have left me to deal with Laura' s death, you know that I couldn't take it." She pushed a little harder on the blade and I could feel the tip cut me and blood trickle down my neck to the collar of my shirt.

I could see Johnny out the corner of my eye, and he look real scared like this chic was going to kill me. I knew she probably would if I didn't talk my way out of it soon. " Stacy I told you before I had to leave. Laura was one of my best friends and at that point I wanted nothing more than to stay and help take care of you and you sister." She had moved the blade from my neck and put it away. I could see tears brimming her eyes, but I knew that if said anything she would deny it, so I just kept it to myself.

I gave Johnny a reassuring look. He finally had some color coming back to his face and his breathing was steading. "Stacy this is Johnny. Johnny this is Stacy. She's short tempered." I smiled.

" Dal, Johnny you wanna come eat with me and my friends?" She waved at a group of 3 girls. I smiled at her and nodded. "God Dallas you'll never change.'' She said rolling her eyes at me.

Me and Johnny grabbed our food and followed Stacy to her table. "Dally and Johnny this is Ashley, Alysa, and Desiree." Stacy said introducing us.

"Hi ladies '' I said sliding into the booth with Ashley and Desiree. Johnny managed to mumble a 'hello' and slide in the booth with Stacy and Alysa.

''Dallas where you heading? I know you're not coming up this way for your health!" Stacy said. Shoving a couple of fries in her mouth.

"Well I was actually coming to New York to see you." I said looking at Ashley who was on my right. She had brown hair and blue grey eyes she seemed pretty short, she was completely the opposite of Stacy who had long blonde hair, hazel eyes and was very tall. They didn't really seem like they would be friends by their appearances.

''You guys should come back with us.''Johnny suddenly said. Making all the girls jump.

"So you do talk.'' Dally said smiling at him. ''Yeah you should come we have enough room.''

'' What do you say guys wanna go home?'' Stacy asked. After all the girls agreed and we were all done eating, we set off for the motel.

''Remember guys if you ain't up at 7:00 I'll come in and pour ice water on you.'' Ashley said. That made me cringe. I hated when people did that and usually I'd belt somebody that did it but I really liked Ashley.

Ponyboy's POV

I was laying in bed wondering where my best friend was. Why hadn't Johnny told me he was leaving? Johnnny told me everything. I don't get why he'd leave me and not say good bye at least.
