Disclaimer: I'm pretty much broke so I guess that tells you that I own nothing from The Outsiders, cause if I did, I'd be rich and I wouldn't suck at writing!

Thank you for reviewing:

Twitch in my eye- Thanks! I'm not a big fan of the Narrators POV either but I just wanted to try it out.

Not-that-kinda-gurl- Thanks! Are you writing a new story yet? I'm interested to see what you'd write next!

EquestrainKEB- Yea I def. life this story better than the old, but not as much as TBHATBL, only cause I think Gail is a bit off character.

Southernsweetdevil- Thanks! I really hope you update your story soon, I'm such a big fan:P

Horrorpop: Thanks for reviewing! Ok, I know they wouldn't release her the same day she woke up, but with a bit of research (I know, I'm a dork :P), in the 60's they didn't know much about amnesia and doctors tested on patients to find out more about it, so I figured that well who cares, there isn't much they can do about it back then and I'd rather not write about the doctors testing on her for days and days so I'll just let her go. And I also wanted the story to move faster. But thank you for saying something about it!

oOoDancingQueenoOo- Thanks! At first I was gonna make Gail hate Dally when Dally is only trying to protect her, but then I decided not to cuz I didn't like how it was going.

Cruiser19- Thanks, I'm glad you like :D!

TheAngryPrincess13- Thanks! BTW I'm also thinking of having Shae in the next chapter!

Two-BitzGortez- Thanks!

Babygurl33- Lol thanks! I almost panicked too when I read, "to tell you the truth" I thought it was gonna come out bad! Lol

Fizzyworms- Thanks! Update your story soon!

MissA92- Thanks! I tried to add more details!

So sorry for the long wait! The end of schools coming and I've been day dreaming! Plus sports and my sisters are home from college and I rather not have them find out about this story. Thank you for being patient! Now on to Chapter 2! BTW, I agree with Horrorpop about how the hospital people wouldn't release a person the same day they woke up so if your still kinda… um… well… just read my respond to Horrorpop's review!

Chapter Two

Gail's POV

Ugh, after 14 long hours or questions and lots of poking, I was finally able to get out of the hellhole (a.k.a. Hospital). You wouldn't believe how annoying and boring it was. The worst part was that they kicked Dally (my entertainment) out so "There wouldn't be any distractions." I rolled my eyes in the thought of Nurse Betty's voice in my head.

"Ok then, Gail your all set!" Oh god, I thought, not her again! Betty's high-pitched voice rang through my ears. "Now I'll just send Dallas in so he can escort you home!" Betty's smile widened enough to make me sick.

"Ok." I said with a forceful smile. I slowly sat up for the first time in what felt like years.

"Ugh," I groaned and rubbed my sore stomach. "Guess I haven't used those muscles in a long time." My hand paused. I felt something… different on my stomach. It wasn't smooth anymore; it was rough and deformedish. I lifted up my hospital gown a couple inches above my belly button and saw a small bullet-size wound. I raised an eyebrow in confusion and shock as footsteps echoed off the floor.

"Hey, ready to go?" Dally said, leaning against the doorframe and slightly smiling.

"What happened?" I asked. True, I had been wondering this question for a long time since I awoken, but I was waiting for a better moment to ask, and I didn't think my accident had anything to do with having a hole in my stomach!

The small smile slowly melted off Dally's face. He sighed rubbing the back of his head, wondering what to say. "Why don't we get something to eat first?" He asked. I nodded.

I swung my legs around so that they hung over the bedside. I slowly pushed off of the bed so my feet touched the cold floor. As soon as I let go of the bed, I instantly fell due to the fact that I haven't been on them for a while. Dallas rushed to my side and caught me before I fell. I blushed and muttered a quick 'Thanks'.

"No problem." He replied softly gazing into my eyes, still holding on to me.

"Uh, I'm ok now." I said, suddenly realizing how close we were. He nodded and let go.

A couple of awkward and quiet seconds passed before Dally spoke. "So, you wanna get going?"

"Yeah ok, but let me change first." I said.

"Ok." He said, looking at me.

I stared back. "You gonna turn around?" I asked.

"Nothing I haven't seen before." He grinned. I raised an eyebrow. "Alright, alright I'm turning." He said. I smiled.

Ten minutes later we were out of that hospital and into Dally's car faster than you can say potato. "So," I began. "Tell me about myself."

"Well, what do you want to know?"

"For starters, do I have any siblings?"

"Yeah, ya got a half sister named Jenny, and group of friends that pretty much think of you as a sister." Dally said. Yes, he's not my brother! I thought.

"Really?"

"Yeah, you got, Soda, Steve, Darry, Pony, Johnny, and Two-Bit, which is one jackass you'd never want to meet again." He joked.

"…What about you?" I asked.

Dally didn't speak for awhile. "Me? I'm just… Oh, hey here we are, Dingo's." I decided not to press the matter of why he changed the subject, partly because I was hungry and partly because I figured I'd find out later.

When we walked inside, it was loud and a bit crowded. I didn't think we'd ever find a table, till one of Dally's friends called us over. "Hey, Dal!"

"Well, look who it is. The asshole of the hour!" Dally said.

"Who's the broad?" He asked.

"This is Gail, Gail this is Drew."

"Hey, baby, how come I never seen you around?" Drew said slinging an arm around my shoulders.

"Hands off asshole." Dally said grinning. He pulled me away from Drew and towards him. Drew grinned back at Dally. "Alright, I get it, she's with you!" He said, throwing his hands up in defeat. "Well, I'll catch you guys later then, I gotta meet up with Shepard, and maybe a couple girls too."

"Girls? You? Yeah right." Dally said.

"I know, you'd think I would have bedded them all in the two-weeks I've been here, but not all of them." Drew joked. "Time's wasting so I guess I'll see ya later!"

Dally nodded and Drew left. "So, shall we sit?" I nodded.

"So… How did I end up in the hospital?"

"Uh… well… one of your crazy ex's got a bit jealous one night and shot you. You hit the ground head first." Dally said.

"Oh. Why was he jealous?"

"He… he saw you with me and thought we were together."

Dally's POV (A/N: I hope I can at least get him a little bit in character!)

I thought of what I just said. "He… he saw you with me and thought we were together." No, Gail didn't need to know about us. She didn't need to know that I'm in love with her. She doesn't remember me, or us, and she didn't need to. Her life would be better off without me in it. She deserved better than a dirty hood. (A/N: just clearing this up, when I said that Gail's life would be better without Dally, I meant the whole romance thing. It just kinda sounded like Dally was gonna leave Gail alone.)

"Dally?" Gail said.

"Hm?"

"You ok? You seem kinda out of it. Do you wanna go someplace else?"

"Yeah, ok, movies ok? You can meet some of our friends there." I grinned. A plan was forming in my mind.

WOW! That took forever! Finally its done! What was it, 3 weeks? Well, like 3 weeks and five mosquito bites later! God I hate those, they're a pain in the ass! Well, please review and, again, sorry for the delay.

P.S. I don't know when the next update will be, but I'll try to get it up soon!
