Chapter 17

I looked at Dally who had his mouth open in shock then back at the police in front of us.

"Excuse me I think I misunderstood what you said. Did you just tell me he isn't going to jail at all?"

"Well, who I am assuming are your parents, came in and went on about this and that of how you ran away and they couldn't find you and when they came here to see if you had run to your aunt's they found where you lived and heard what you have been doing and wanted their daughter's child to have a father. Obviously they don't know a lot about Dallas here." Said Officer Johansen.

"And they paid for his bail." Officer Marks said.

"Oh my god." Was all I cold say.

"Well since we have no more business here we shall be going. It was nice meeting you Miss. Huntington." Said Officer Johansen.

I nodded my head and watched the two officers leave. Then I turned to Dally.

"How much do you want to bet my parents are at the Curtis's." I said looking up at him.

"Well let's go find out." He said taking my hand in his and walking out the door.

When we pulled up to the house there was an extra car parked on the side of the road. It was a blue Camaro. I opened my door and Dally came around and put his arm around my waist. When we got to the door Dally reached around me and opened it and I stepped inside with him right behind me.

Darry was in the armchair and the guys were either sitting or standing around them, I looked to my left and sure enough my parents were siting on the couch. I was beyond mad and just looking at my mother made me want to shot her. My mother saw me and stood up trying to hug me, I backed away.

"You came to find me! And told the cops I RAN AWAY!" I screamed at her. "You freakin told the cops that you couldn't find me! You lied to the cops! I thank you for getting my boyfriend out of jail and all but they the heck are you here?"

"We wanted to see you sweetie." My dad spoke up.

"No! You had 15 years to see me and you dumped me in some crap town. Then you had another 3 years to come and find me and see me, but you didn't. I wrote you, you got my letters found where I was staying and mailed me money and a car. But you refused to ever come see me daddy. So don't even think you can tell me you 'came to see me' now when you have had three years to do that!" I yelled.

"Babe you need to calm down you could hurt the baby." Dally said putting a hand on my shoulder.

I shrugged it off. "CALM! You want me to be calm when these people who think they are my parents are telling me they want to see me after they left me here three years ago. I am way past being calm." I turned back to my mom and dad.

"Sweetie we are your parents how can you talk to…" My mom started.

"NO! You aren't my parents. Mrs. Shepard is my mom and Mr. Shepard is the closest thing to a dad I have had in a long time. You… you… I don't even know what you are but it's certainly not my parents. In three months I'm going to have a baby, and you will not be a part of it's life… EVER! I will not put my child through what you did to me. So you can leave and go back to your nice home and fancy things and leave me here to live the rest of my life with my family."

My mom and dad looked at me and then walked out of the house.

I turned to Dally and started to cry. He wrapped his arms around me and just held me.

"I can't believe they just showed up like that. I mean I appreciate them bailing you out and all but why did they show up? Why now?" I said after I had calmed down. "I just don't get it."

"I don't know what to tell you babe, I'm just happy I'm not going to jail." Everyone laughed.

"Yea I'm glad you aren't too." I said sitting down with him on the couch.

Steve spoke up after about ten minutes of silence. "There's a party at Buck's tonight y'all wanna go?"

"I'll go but this one is staying here or at her house." Dally said. "And someone needs to stay with her, but I'll stay if no one else wants to."

"Naw go on and go Dally, I'll stay, I've got to work tomorrow anyway." Darry said.

"Alright babe, I'll see you tomorrow." Dally kissed my forehead and I grabbed him and pulled him down to my lips, then let him go.

Two-bit, Ponyboy, Steve, Soda, and Dally all left the house and I saw the perfect opportunity to talk to Darry about my plans.

"Hey Darry can I talk to you about some things." I said walking into the kitchen where Darry was cleaning up.

"Yea sure." He put down the plate. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Well, and this is only if it's alright with you and Soda and Pony, but I was thinking of maybe moving in with y'all and enlarging the house. Since Johnny won't be able to do a lot on his own at first he's gonna need a place to stay, that isn't the couch. When the baby comes I really don't want it at my house, there are to many drunk guys and to much smoke and other things babies don't need to be around. Now before you say no, I have all the money needed, $29,000, and after the baby is born I'll be back at my job part time and I'm talking to Dally about getting a job and I can help pay for the bills and stuff. And I would just really appreciate it if you would let me, Dally, and the baby live here."

Darry leaned against the counter and looked down at the floor. I thought he was gonna say no until he looked up and smiled. "Well lordy girl I'd sure love to have ya here, and I know Soda and Pony ain't gonna mind. We can start making the plans tomorrow if you want, the sooner we get the house done the better."

"Thanks Darry." I said standing on my tiptoes and hugging him. "Can we run over to Buck's so I can tell Dally now."

"Yea sure why not. I'll drive you there."

When we got to Buck's I opened the door and the sight I saw broke my heart.

I gasped, there was Dally with Sylvia on his lap and he was kissing her.

I stood there in shock for a few moments until he broke away from her and looked up, his eyes met mine. He pushed Sylvia off him and stood up, walking towards me. The music had stopped and the room was silent, everyone in town knew we were dating and everyone there wanted to know what was going to happen. I saw the guys standing in the doorway.

"Dally… how could you?" I said tears pouring down my face. I turned and ran out of the house.

Dally's POV

When we got to Buck's all I could think about was Alice, I shouldn't have left her alone. The guys went into the kitchen and I went and sat on the couch. Buck came though and handed me a beer, I took it and then got up and went into the kitchen and put it away. When I was drunk I was dangerous, and I don't need to put myself in a position where I might hurt Alice. I talked to some guys in the kitchen for awhile and then went back into the living room and sat on the couch. I saw someone I didn't want to see, ever again. Sylvia.

"Hello Dallas." She said trying to sound seductive, she made me want to throw up.

"Sylvia." I said through my teeth.

She then sat down on my lap straddling me and run her hands down my chest. She then leaned down and kissed me. I tried to push her away but she kept trying and I gave in. Alice wasn't going to find out.

Not a minute later I heard someone gasp and the music stopped and everyone went quiet. I broke away from Sylvia and saw Alice standing beside Darry, her hands over her mouth. Oh my god, I just ruined my relationship with the best girl I've ever met. I pushed Sylvia off my lap and she hit the floor with a thud and walked over to Alice.

"Dally… how could you?" She said tears pouring down her face. She turned around and ran out of the house. I tried to run after her but Darry stopped me.

"I hope you realize you just broke her heart, and Tim just might kill you when he finds out. Oh and she came here to tell you she wanted you, Johnny, the baby, and her to move in with me and Soda and Pony. I guess you've blown that idea." He then let me go.

I raced out of that house and looked down the street. I saw Alice not to far ahead of me. I ran just a little faster and finally caught up with her. I grabbed her arm and pulled her to me.

"Get away from me! Don't you dare touch me after what you did to me in there! I trusted you! YOU! After everything I'd heard about you I still dated you! I'm having your child! But no that's not enough for you! One day Dally, no sex for one day is all i saidbut no you couldn't do that could you! You just had to make out with your ex and do lord knows what else you might have done! I love you! Do you get that Dallas? Do you even know what love is? Do you even care about me?" Her words broke my heart.

No girl had ever made me crack, or cry and hurt, but Alice broke through, Alice hit a nerve. The pain in her eyes hurt me. I touch her cheek and she tried to pull away but I wouldn't let her.

"Alice listen to me. I care about you I do. I know it sounds crazy, I'm Dallas Winston I'm not suppose to be able to love, but I do, I can. I love you Alice. No girl has ever made me cry or hurt me, you have. Alice to see pain in your eyes and for me to know I caused it kills me. Alice I want to be with you… not Sylvia you. What I did tonight was wrong, and I am so sorry, if you don't ever trust me again I will understand but please don't leave me, don't go away. I love you and want to be with you and raise this baby, we made together." I said putting my hand on her stomach. "Darry told me you wanted us to move in with him. I lie that idea, if you still want to be with me."

"Of course I do Dally. I love you, and I'm not against second chances, but if it happens again, I'm gone." She said. I leaned down and kissed her. The feeling I felt I knew was love, I knew I wanted to be with this girl for the rest of my life. It was time for me to settle down. The one and only Dallas Winston was going to settle down and start a family.
