Hi guys! It's me again, here with another songfic, this time to the wonderful song Starts With Goodbye, by Carrie Underwood.

Disclaimer: I don't own the song Starts With Goodbye, or The Outsiders, Carrie Underwood and S.E. Hinton do.

Amanda's POV

I had Angela drop me off home on the way back from destroying Dally's car, because I really didn't feel like a sleep over tonight. I walked in and was greeted cheerfully by my mother.

"Hi honey." she said and kissed me on the cheek.

"Ya know Dallas has called like ten times in the past hour, you should call him back."

"I will." I lied and walked gloomily up the stairs to my room.

As soon as I got up there, I began to get undressed and looked in my dresser for something to wear. The first thing I saw was Dal's old black shirt that I usually wore for a nightgown, and it pained me to even look at it because of what he did with Sylvia tonight.

Just then the phone rang, and I immediately knew it would be him. Reluctantly I picked up the phone.

"Hello." I said, my voice without emotion.

"Hey Mandy, listen I'm sorr-" Dallas began to say, but I cut him off.

The three words I thought I would never say to him, that killed me to say, came out. "It's over Dal."

"Amanda you can't let one stupid mistake fuck up our relationship."

I was silent.

"C'mon babe, don't so this….please, I'm sorry." he pleaded.

"Goodbye Dallas." I said as tears welled up in my eyes, and hung up the phone.

I was sitting on my doorstep,
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand,
But I knew I had to do it,
And he wouldn't understand,
So hard to see myself without him,
I felt a piece of my heart break,
But when you're standing at a crossroad,
There's a choice you gotta make.

As soon as I hung up, the tears that were stinging my eyes began to fall down my face like rain. I just couldn't picture the rest of my life without him. We've been together so long and made so many beautiful memories together, and now it's all coming to a crashing halt because he had to go cheating on me with Sylvia. I swear, as soon as Angel told me Dal was there with Sylvia I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. After tonight there would be no more midnight visits through my window, no more Dally sneaking out early the next morning, praying to god that we didn't get caught, and even more painful, no more us. As I went through every detail of our relationship in my mind, I slowly drifted to sleep.

The Next Day….

I know there's a blue horizon,
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
Getting there means leaving things behind,
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet.

I woke up the next morning feeling happy, but as all the events of last night came back to me, that feeling soon faded. I quickly got ready for work putting on a pair of jean shorts, a white wife beater, and the required DX shirt and hat before walking out the door. I wasn't looking forward to work today because Dallas knew my schedule, and I knew he would be around trying get back together with me. As expected, when I reached the gas station Dal was waiting for me outside. I went to open the door to go in the store, when he held it shut.

"I need to talk to you." he said.

"And I need to go to work." I said with a little attitude in my voice.

Dally sighed heavily and looked at the ground. "I know you're mad, but you didn't have to dump me."

"Yeah, and I know you're an asshole, but you didn't have to cheat on me with that trash." I responded angrily.

He looked up at me with a mix between an ashamed and angry look on his face.

"Listen, you knew how I was before we even started going out, so don't act so fuckin' surprised Mandy." Dal said pointing a finger at me.

"Yeah I did. But I thought you and I were different. I thought that maybe you only slept around on your girlfriends because they were all whores…I thought you loved me." tears started to well in my eyes.

"But I was wrong…so wrong." As I said that, the tears began to come down hard.

"I do lo-" Dally started to say, but again I interrupted him.

"No, no you don't. If you did you wouldn't have slept with Sylvia." I sobbed.

I looked up at him, and the most heartbreaking look I have ever seen was on his face.

"I'm sorry, god I am so sorry. If I could take it back I would." Dallas said, his voice full of sorrow.

But as much as I wanted to take him back and be his girl again, I didn't because I know it would only keep happening over and over. And I couldn't take this heart break again, it's too much.

"I got to go in or I'll be late Dal." I said and he let go of the door.

I went in the store and turned around to watch him walk away. This is gonna be hard to try and get over, but it time I know I'll be fine. I guess I'm gonna have to hurt and cry…and eventually let him go.

I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
Starts with goodbye,
The only way you try to find,
Moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye,
Na na na na na na na.

Well I hope u guys liked it, cuz I worked real hard on it, so please review!
