Caroline's POV

"Caroline mom and dad just came home." Said Rose.

I nodded then got out of bed.

"Hey mom! Hi dad!" Rose and I said as they walked in the door.

"Hello girls!" Said my mom cheerfully.

"Glad to see my house is still standing." Joked my dad.

I laughed. "How was your trip?"

"It was great, a lot of fun." Said my mom.

"It was until I had to deal with Dallas Winston. I wasn't even Tulsa and I still had to deal with that hood." Said my dad.

Right now Dally is in jail. On Friday he got into a fight with some guy and someone called the police.

"What happened?" I asked.

Rose gave me a sly smile.

"Dallas got into a fight. He's going to get released but I have to go down to the station to deal with this delinquent." Said my dad.

I nodded feeling a little bad that I haven't told my parents about Dally and me. I know I can't tell them yet, especially my dad.

"I have to get changed but tonight when I come home we'll all go out to eat." Said my dad.

"That sounds like a great idea!" Exclaimed my mom.

"Yeah it does." Said Rose.

My dad began to walk up the steps and I trailed behind him.

"Dad?"

"Yes sweetheart?"

"About Dallas, do you really think he's a bad guy?" I asked.

My dad sighed. "Caroline, he's bad news."

"I know but I've just heard some stuff around school about him." I said.

"Lets go sit down." Said my dad.

I nodded and followed him into my parent's room. My dad and I both sat on the bed.

"Whatever you hear from school don't listen to it. Whatever I'm about to tell is true, this is real information I've gotten from Dallas over the years."

I nodded. Now I started to feel bad because my dad is about to tell me stuff about Dally that Dally probably hasn't told me. I didn't mean to get this information I just wanted to know if dad really does hate him.

"When Dally moved here, he moved here with his dad. His mom left him at a very young age. Dally didn't tell me the age she left him at or why and I can never get that out of him. I know you met him before and you're curious about him but honey he's dangerous. If you ever see him on the street turn back around." My dad said.

I nodded. "Okay I will."

"If you ever hear anything from any of the girls that's he's a "nice" guy or that he's really "caring" it's all act. Dally is a criminal." My dad said. "Don't get me wrong Caroline, he's a criminal but I'm scared for the kid. This kid has no future, he hasn't even start night school. I probably shouldn't even tell you this but."

My dad took a deep breath. "It's his old man's fault for the way Dally is now. Dally told us that him and his father got here together but when we went looking for Jason Winston, we couldn't find it. He's not in Tulsa. I think the old man dropped Dally off here so he didn't have to take care of him anymore. I asked Dally if he's ever been physically or mentally abused by his father and do you know what Dally said to me at fourteen years old?"

I shook my head.

"Nothing I couldn't take, when can I leave?" My dad said. "With no emotion. He looked at me as if he was testing me."

"Dad he was 14 why didn't you put him in a home?" I asked.

"We did for a week. He kept on getting trouble, he told us that if we put him in a home then we're going to see him a lot. I remember Dally telling me that I'm going to be seeing him a lot, that he's going to know everything about me. That I'm not going to get to know him but he's going to get to to know me. You know Caroline, I thought that was hilarious. Don't get me wrong I got the NYPD to send Dally's police report and I knew this kid was trouble but never in a million years did I think a 14 year old was going to cause me this much trouble." My dad paused. "I gave him chances Caroline, hell I even paid for some of bails, he never changed. He will never change, Caroline you won't believe how scared I was when I found out you were talking to him that party. I was so scared that you were going to fall for his charm, I know him, he's a good looking guy but he's no good for you and I'm glad you saw that."

I nodded suddenly feeling really guilty. Lying to my father and going behind Dally's back. I have to tell Dally about this conversation, explain to him that I didn't mean to find out this way.

"I should get going to see him now but promise me Caroline, if you ever see him on the street you turn back and run away." Said my dad.

"I promise." I lied.

"Good." My dad kissed my forehead.

"I'll see you tonight dad." I said.

I walked out of the room taking in everything my father told me. I guess it makes sense for how Dally became this way. He was abandoned. I don't know if I'll ever be able to tell my father that I'm in a relationship with Dally.

Dally's POV

"Dal the chief is here to see you." Said officer Peter.

"Send him in Pete." As I did push ups.

I heard my cell open and close.

"What are you doing Mr. Winston?" Asked the chief.

"Getting ready for my next fight, David." I smirked.

"Show me some respect and get up." Said Dave.

I got up and looked my girlfriend's father. I smirked knowing that he has no idea that I've been making out with his daughter behind is back.

Man, I miss Caroline. The only thing that sucks about in here is not being able to see her.

"How was your vacation?" I asked.

"It would've been better if I didn't get a call work." He said.

"Yeah work can suck." I said as I sat on the bed.

"What do you know about work Winston?"

"Well I do have a job, you know that."

"I don't think competing in rodeos is a sustainable career choice." Said Dave as he sat on the stool.

"I'm pretty good at though." I smirked.

"You know Dal, my daughter asked me about you today." Said the chief.

"The hot one?" I said. "Never mind they're both hot."

Dave sent me a glare. "The one you talked to at the party."

Why the hell was Caroline asking about me?

"Oh the blonde. What was her name again? Cynthia? Clair?" I paused. "Caroline, that's it Caroline. You know chief I think about her all the time."

I saw Dave's hands go in a fist. "Be serious Dallas."

"I am, she was something else." I said.

"Enough Dallas, she asked me about you."

"Why?" I asked.

Was Caroline going behind my back to find out stuff about me?

"She heard some rumours about you and wanted to know if they're were true." Said Dave.

"Were they?"

"That doesn't matter, what matters is that after answering her question, I started to think about you Dallas." Explained Dave. "Dally you need to clean up your act."

I rolled my eyes.

"Son you need-"

"Don't call me fucking son, I'm not your son and we made that pretty clear at the rumble." I said getting pissed off.

"If you talk to me like that one more time your ass will be in here for another week." Said Dave seriously as he stood up.

I nodded knowing that it will be another week away from Caroline. Why the hell did she ask about me though? I'm starting to get mad, I know she wants me to tell her shit but going behind my back isn't the way to find out.

"Dally all I'm telling you is that if you don't clean up your act then you're going to rot your ass in jail or that miracle at the rumble won't happen again." With that said Dave got up and left.

I closed my eyes. What the hell did Caroline ask and what the hell did her father tell her? Did he tell her what happened at the rumble?

Caroline's POV

I didn't realize when my dad said we should go out to me he meant one of James' restaurants. James actually happens to be here right now and I have a pretty good view of him.

I tried to keep my head down praying that he wouldn't see me but that was over when I first walked in and we made eye contact.

I looked up and saw that James is getting up. I quickly looked back down to my menu. He's probably just going to go use the bathroom.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Kendall, Rose."

I looked up.

"Caroline." Finished James.

"Oh James it's so nice to see you again! How's school?" Asked my mom.

"It's going very well. I just can't believe this is mine and Caroline's last year in high school." Said James.

"Oh neither can we, you know prom is just around the corner." Said my dad.

My eyes widen. My parents would love if I go to prom with James. Well since they don't know the truth to why we broke up. I told my parents it was mutual, if I told them the real reason then they would know about mine and Dally's date.

James laughed. "It is. I hate to be rude and take Caroline away from a family dinner but is it okay if I steal her for five minutes?"

"No." I said with a smile.

My mom glared at me. "Caroline that was not very nice. We are at his restaurant and you're being quite rude."

"Actually it's his father's restaurant, do you think James could actually run a restaurant all by himself?" Said Rose.

My mother glared at Rose. "Rose!"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to cause so much trouble. Caroline it's just that I need to talk to you." Said James.

I sighed and stood up abruptly. "Five minutes and not a second more."

James smile and led me to the door. He held the door open for me and we walk out.

"Caroline the reason I've this long to talk to you is to give us some space to think about everything. Truth is Caroline I'm still crazy about you and I need you." Said James.

"James I-"

"Let me finish, Caroline I miss you. I want us to go back to how things were. I want us to be together. We were great and I shouldn't have left some greaser get in between us. Caroline all I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry for all the pain I caused and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive a jerk like me."

"James I forgive you." I said.

James smile and leaned in to kiss me but I pulled back.

"It doesn't mean I can get back together with you. James everything is just so different. I've moved on, I don't feel the same the same way anymore. I'm sorry James." I said.

Hurt flashed through James' eyes.

"I'm sorry James I really am." I said.

James stared at me shocked. I turn around and went back inside.

I've officially moved on from James. I finally got the closure I wanted. I don't even regret not getting back together with James, I care about Dally way too much.
