All for You
She had loved him more than anything. As she stood there looking at his grave, wishing he was here, she heard a voice behind her.
"Madyson? You okay? Y'all want anything?" Sodapop Curtis asked. "No Soda. Just...I miss Dally real bad," I said, turning to face him.
"Maddy, what the hell happened you?" he asked, Darry behind him. My face was cut, my cheek was bruised, I was bleeding above my left eyebrow, andwhat little makeup I wore was smeared.
"Some damn Socs jumped me. Ain't it bad enough Dally's dead, now they all try to kill me again!" I sobbed.Darry put his hand on my shoulder, "He wouldn't want this. I think you were the only thing that Dallas Winston ever lived for. He loved you more than anything. And he wouldn't want to see you get hurt, by yourself or some Soc with his head up his butt."
"Anyway, the rumble's tonight. You gonna fight?" Soda asked. "Hell yes. A rumble ain't a rumble unless its got Dally Winston's girl in it!"
"YEA!" they both yelled in agreement. "A'right, we're gonna leave you here. Come back soon," Soda said, pulling me into a soft hug.
"Thanks..." I whispered after them, sitting on the ground. I trailed my finger through the dirt of his grave, then brought them to my lips and placed a kiss on his headstone. "We're gonna stomp the Socs good tonight Dal. And I don't know about the rest of the gang, but I'm gonna do it all for you.
And with that, I Madyson Adams, and very nearly Madyson Winston, gave one last look at my dead boyfriend's grave, got up, and went to get changed back at the Curtis home. After all, a rumble ain't a rumble unless Dallas Winston's girl is in it, and that's where I damn well was gonna. be. Beating the Socs good...all for him.
