Johnny's POV:

Did she just… Did she just say that she loves me?! Am I dreaming? The girl of my dreams saying she loves me!? I think I'm going to faint...

I put my arm around her and we walk home together.
It is now nighttime and the stars are shining bright and the moon is full. Rose and I look up at the sky while walking. The reflection of the moon and stars on her face is just absolutely gorgeous. I really want to give her a kiss but I'm afraid she won't be okay with it. I know she just said I love you, but she may not be ready for the kiss just yet.
"Beautiful night," Rose said.
"Very beautiful," I say. "But not as beautiful as you."
I see Rose look down and smile. "Thanks Johnny."
"No need to thank me for telling you the truth."
Rose and I finally get home. I take my arm off of her and I open the door for Rose. She says thanks and we go inside. I wonder where Dallas is right now. I wonder if he calmed down or not? I wonder if he still wants to kill me? I sure hope not.

We walk inside and we saw Darry inside the house sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. "Hey Rosanne and Johnny."
"Sup," I say.
"Hi Darry," Rose said.
I sit down and yawn loudly. I am very tired, but I want to stay up and talk to Rose. "Man I'm tired."
"You can go to sleep if you want to Johnny," Rose said.
"Alright... Good night," I say.

I get up and hug Rose goodnight and I walk to my Ponyboy and Sodapop's room to sleep in Pony's bed. I hope to have a nice dream tonight.

Rosanne's POV:

I hug Johnny good night and let him go. I'm actually kind of glad he went to sleep now because I want to talk to Darry about my feelings for Johnny and Dallas, see what he thinks.

I don't know why, but I've always been open with Darry, besides Ponyboy, I can trust him and share how I feel, and tell him things on my mind.
I sit next to Darry and lean my head on his shoulder and sigh.
Darry puts his newspaper down. "What's up, Rosanne?"
I lift up my head up from his shoulder. "I'm so confused."
"On what?" Darry asked.

"Well, you know how Johnny likes me, right?" I say.

"Everyone does," Darry said.

"Yeah, well he admitted his feelings for me earlier today," I say. "I like him a lot too, but I kinda have a little crush on Dallas too."

"Did you just say... Dallas?" Darry asked. He gave me a confused look.
"Yeah, I know," I say. "They both treat me good, but Dallas did something that makes me kinda, mad at him."
"What did he do?" Darry asked. "Did he do something to you?"
"No," I say. "He.. pulled a knife out and almost killed Johnny."
Darry jumped up from the couch. "He did what?! Oh, he's lucky he isn't home or I'd be giving him a piece of my mind!"

Darry forms a fist. I get up and undo the fist. "As much as Dallas deserves it, please don't hurt him. I don't want anymore drama and fights."
"Sorry Rosanne," Darry says. "I care for Johnny like he's my younger brother and I want him safe too."
"I understand," I say.
"If I were you, I would chose Johnny," Darry says. "Johnny would treat you so much better and if Johnny were to get angry, he wouldn't take it out on you. I know Dallas would end up smacking you or something and he will not lay a single hand on you, he'd be stupid to lay a hand on you. You act more like Johnny than you do Dallas. I know Dallas would make you mad and stressed out all the time, while Johnny wouldn't."
"That's true," I say. "Thanks Darry. I just need time to think about this now."
"Yeah, don't rush yourself into this, trust me," Darry says.
"I trust you," I say.

I hug Darry and tell him thanks for helping me out. He says it's no problem.

Just then, we see Dallas walk in with a heart shaped box and a beautiful rose. I let go of Darry and Dallas walks up to me.
"Hey Rosanne," Dallas says.
"Um, hi…," I say.

"I got you something Rosanne," Dallas said and handed me the heart shaped box and the rose.

I open the box and see diamond earrings. I'm not gonna lie, these earrings are very pretty. Did Dally steal these? These look very nice.

"Oh, wow Dallas," I say. "Where did you get these at? They're… very pretty."

"I've been saving up for them, just for you," Dallas said right into my eyes. Awh, man…
"You have?" I asked.
"Yes Rosanne, or, can I call you Rosa?" Dallas said.

"It don't matter," I say.
"Why don't you put the earrings in, I bet you'd look beautiful in them," Dallas said.
The way he said I bet you'd look beautiful in them made my heart skip a beat. Come on Rosanne, you like Johnny… Don't fall for Dallas. Johnny would treat you so much better...

I go to a mirror and put the earrings in. I see Darry in the back of the mirror watching every little thing Dallas does.

"See, I was right. Beautiful," Dallas said.
I look down with my face slowly turning red. "Thank you."
"You're very welcome," Dallas said. "Now, I do have a question though."
"What is it?" I ask.

Dallas walks over to me and puts his hand on the wall with me underneath it. "Would you want to walk around town with me tomorrow and then maybe see a movie?"
