Rosanne's POV:
Oh my gosh! I'm kissing Johnny! I didn't mean to kiss him. I hope he isn't mad at me. The timing felt right to me. But, his lips are very soft, and it felt nice to kiss him. Does this mean I like Johnny more than Dallas? Should I cancel with Dallas? No, no, no I shouldn't. I need to get to know Dallas more before I make my final decision.
I unlock my lips from Johnny. When I lean back, he looks right at me with a huge smile. "Rose, that was my first kiss."
To be honest, that was my true first kiss too. It felt very nice.
"Really?" I ask. "How is that? You're so adorable with those puppy eyes and all."
"Never got the chance to go out and find anyone," Johnny said. "Which I'm glad, because my heart wants you and only you."
I look down and smile. I don't even know what to say back. I know I kissed him and said that I loved him, but we're not dating yet so I shouldn't say anything about my heart wanting him. Though, I think it does.
Ponyboy comes outside from the back door. "Hey guys."
"What's up Ponyboy?" I say.
"Hey, Dallas is here for you," Ponyboy said.
"Is it 5 already?" I ask. I see Johnny look down and rather sad than happy.
"No, he said he wants to hang out with you earlier today because there is gonna be a huge fight downtown at 6:30 and he wants to be part of it," Ponyboy said. I see Johnny roll his eyes.
"Oh, okay," I say and stand up.
Johnny stands up and we walk to Ponyboy. "Say, what are you two doing out here alone anyway?"
"Just hanging out and had a very great time," I say and wink at Johnny. I see him smile.
"Alright," Ponyboy said.
I walk inside and go to Dallas. He was near the door looking down. He was in his normal leather jacket and his jeans. I wonder if he is nervous about this?
I go up to Dallas. "Hi."
"Hey Rosanne," Dallas said. "I'm sorry I had to change the time earlier than normal, I hope you weren't doing anything."
It's still weird hearing Dallas talk nice to me. I'm used to him being mean and have a potty mouth, not being sweet. But of course he's only nice to me.
"You're fine Dally," I say.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Sure," I say.
I open up the door and hold it open for Dallas. He follows me until we get to the end of the driveway. "So Dallas, where are we going?"
"I thought we were gonna walk around town," Dallas said.
I kinda don't want to but I guess I'll say yes so Dallas doesn't get mad.
"Oh yeah," I say. "We can do that."
Alright. Here goes nothing.
Dallas's POV:
Finally time to go out with Rosanne. I couldn't wait any longer to go out. I'm just glad that a friend of mine mentioned that fight downtown. I hope Rosanne wasn't busy with anything. She don't seem mad though.
During this walk, I want to get to know her a little bit more and hopefully convince her to date me. Her and I would be perfect together. We'd be the hottest couple in town. She may act more like Johnny than myself, but eventually she'll be acting more like me.
I truly do care for Rosanne. It may seem that I don't truly care, or that I'm gonna use her but I'm not. I've been trying my hardest to be nicer to her and not get as angry. I don't want her to be afraid of me, and I don't want her to just say yes to things I suggest so she doesn't make me mad. I want her happy too.
"So, who's all fighting tonight?" asked Rosanne.
"Some gang," I say. "I don't know too much about it. All I know is that it's gonna be huge and a friend of mine is gonna be in it."
"Are you gonna be in it?" she asked.
"Probably," I say.
"You're gonna get hurt though!" Rose exclaimed.
"Come on Rosy," I say and mess up her hair a little bit. "I'm Dallas Winston. I've been in so many fights in my life and I'm still alive and running around. This fight won't hurt me."
Rosanne chuckles a little bit. "Alrighty then Mr. Tough guy." She's so cute sometimes.
I kinda want to put my arm around her but I have no clue if she'd be okay with me doing that actually. I'll wait. I really don't want her to be upset and then I ruin everything.
We walk a little more with nothing coming out of our mouths. She starts to kick little rocks on the sidewalk onto the road. "Sooo…"
I look over at her. "Sooo what?"
"Well, we went on this walk to get to know each other, right?" Rosanne asked.
"Yeah," I say. I feel like I'm ruining this badly.
"Well, we need to think of something to talk about," Rosanne said picked up a big rock from the ground and started to throw it up in the air.
"Um, okay," I say. What in the world do you talk about with a girl as beautiful as her?!
What do I talk about? I'm usually good when it comes to talking to girls but her, I just, I don't know. I can't think of anything!
Rosanne keeps tossing that rock in the air. She eventually throws it out on the road and then it ended up hitting someone's car window and smashing the window open. Rosanne's eyes get huge and I start laughing. That was awesome.
"Oh my gosh Dallas! I just smashed that window! Oh no!" Rosanne starts to freak out. There is a man inside that car. He leans down to look at us. It's Bob Sheldon. Rosanne starts to shake.
Bob comes out of the car and slowly walks to us. Rosanne and I back up from Bob until we hit a wooden fenced in gate.
"I'm so scared Dallas," Rosanne whispered to me.
"Oh, don't worry Rosanne," I say. "This is gonna get me warmed up for tonight."
Bob walks up to us against the gate. "We meet again, Rosanne? This time, you're with this trash instead of the other little punk."
"Who you calling trash, bone head?" I say and shove Bob hard so he stumbles back.
When Bob gets back on his feet normally, he runs after me and tries to attack me. I grab Rosanne and push her so she has a head start to run. I would much rather have something happen to me, than to her.
We end up running into a dead end. I hope I don't have to kill Bob in front of Rosanne, but I will if that's what it takes to keep her safe.
Rosanne's POV:
Oh my gosh! I accidently broke Bob's car window! We had to run far but he keep following us. We are in a dead end and nowhere to escape. This is all my fault! Dallas and myself are gonna get hurt!
I stand back and Dallas walks up to Bob. Dallas has one of his arms out and that arm is in front of me. "If you want to get to Rose, you'll have to go through me first, but you're not gonna. You'll be dead before you can get through me."
Bob runs to Dallas so he can attack him. Dallas grabbed him and flipped him before he could touch Dallas. Dallas gets on top of Bob and keeps punching him. "I dare you to mess with Rose or myself!" Dallas keeps punching him.
Bob grabs Dallas and shoves him off of him. Dallas hits the back of his head straight on the concrete and I saw a tiny bit of blood come out of his head.
"Dallas! Are you okay?" I freak out.
"Trust me Rosanne, this is nothing compared to what I'm used to," Dallas said and jumped up.
Dallas shoved Bob into a wall and keep punching him repeatedly. "One more punch for the road!" Dallas punched Bob very hard and Bob went down to the ground.
"Oh my gosh he's dead, I think he just died!" I say.
Dallas goes down to Bob and listens for a heartbeat. "Nah, he's still alive. Just knocked out."
Dallas gets up and walks to me. "He's alive. Don't worry. He'll be up and running around soon. I had to protect you."
"Thank you Dallas for protecting me," I say. "Are you alright though?"
"Yeah, that was barely any blood. I'm perfectly fine," Dallas said.
Well I do know one thing for sure. I do feel safe around Dallas.
