Johnny's POV:
When Dally pinned me up on the wall and told me to stay away from Rose or he'll kill me, I was scared to death. I am now waiting for him to grab a pocket knife or a gun or something to kill me.
While on the wall, I was screaming no repeatedly. I do not want to die this young, man! I know I could have died in the fire with the kids, but I was somehow lucky and survived that.
Dallas pulls out his pocket knife and slowly puts it up to my face. I keep trying to kick and punch Dallas to get away from this. I close my eyes and just wait to die. I hope you're happy Dallas… You get to have my dream girl… You better treat her well.
With my eyes closed, I hear a few people bust through the door. Someone grabs Dally and I jump down from the wall. I open my eyes to see Two-Bit, Steve, and Sodapop.
I get up and run out the back door away from everything. I am scared to death right now and so happy to be alive. I have to tell Rose how I feel about her before Dallas does. I sure hope Dallas doesn't make up lies about me and then Rose believing him.
Ponyboy's POV:
I seriously have no idea where Dal came from. One thing I know, I was talking to Johnny about Anne, and then the next the next thing I knew, Johnny was pinned up to the wall about to get killed. Luckily Sodapop, Steve, and Two-Bit come in right in time. Two-Bit grabbed Dally and pinned him down to the ground.
I wonder why Dallas randomly came in and did that… Everyone knows that Johnny is the only thing Dallas cares for, so why would he try to kill him?
"What has gotten into you, Dallas?" Sodapop asked.
"Why did you try to kill Johnny?" Two-Bit asked.
Dallas refused to answer. I see him looking around with his face slowly turning red.
Okay, Dallas's face turning red, he's stuttering a lot around Anne, and he threaten to kill Johnny when he mentioned that Anne is very beautiful, does that mean he…
"Are ya gonna answer one of us?" Steve asked.
I walk over to Sodapop, Two-Bit, and Steve. Dallas is still on the floor while Two-Bit is on top of him with his hands on Dallas's arms making sure he can't leave. Sodapop has Dallas's legs down too.
"Why did you almost kill Johnny?" I ask. "I thought he's the only thing you cared about."
Dallas stops struggling to get away and he goes frozen. His face is bright red.
"If I tell you why, will you promise not to tell anyone? Especially Johnny and Rosanne!" Dallas said.
"Sure," I say.
"Okay…," Dallas said. "First of all, will you two get off of me?!"
Two-Bit gets off of him and Sodapop stands up. Dallas stands up and runs toward the door but Steve grabbed him and put his arm over his head. "You ain't leaving until you tell us why!"
Dallas lets out a frustrated moan. "Okay, you must not tell anyone but... ," Dallas said until his voice faded. Steve let go of him. "Okay, I was outside and I heard Johnny tell Ponyboy that Rosanne is beautiful, and I don't know why but.. It just made me mad. So mad. Well, I know why it made me mad… But…" Dallas looked down.
"I guess you can say that… I love her."
