Zoe's POV
When all the guys looked at Dally and I, they looked shocked to see Dally. "Oh my gosh, Dallas." Blade said. There were 5 guys in this gang. There was Blade(just a nickname though), Blake, Snake(again another nickname), Storm and Emmet. Blade got his nickname because he was so good with a switchblade and it was a lot tougher then his real name, Ken. I forgot the reason behind Snake's name, but it probably had something to do with a snake. He's never told us his real name either.
"Oh hey guys." Dally said, he was still holding his side. I knew it must be hurting a lot, but he didn't show it. "We can't believe you left! Especially without Zoe!" Storm yelled. All the guys were pretty protective of me, though some days I hated it. "I know, I wasn't thinking. But I came back and trust me, I already got beat up a bit." Dally told them. "By who?" Blake asked. By now they had all gotten up and made their way over to us.
"dad." I said, they really hated Dally and I's father and I didn't blame them. "Damn." Emmet said. Blade looks at Dally and moves his hands away from his side. "Glass?" He asked, examining the deep cut. "Yea, from a broken bottle." Dally said. "Alright, it'll probably need stitches." Blade said. He was the leader of our little gang and knew what to do when it came to this medical stuff. "I figured." Dally said
Soon enough, Blade had stitched Dally's side up and cleaned the cut by his eye too. "So where'd you go?" Snake asked. "All over really. But I stopped in Tulsa, Oklahoma after a year." I informed. "Why?" Blake asked. "I found some friends and I just stayed there. We're a gang, but gangs from here and from there are different." I said then went on to tell them about the social classes thing and the rivalry.
"Wow." They all said, sounding speechless. "Yea." I said. "So you guys been taking care of Zoe?" Dally asked. We were all sitting down and Dally was holding me in his lap. "Yup. Though we can't keep her away from home." Snake said. "We've offered for her to stay with us, but she chooses not to." Blake said. "Really Zoe? You'd rather go home when stay with the guys?" Dally asked me. "Well I did stay here one time, then dad somehow found me. I got into huge trouble, so I didn't stay here again." I told him. "Oh." Dally said and sighs, holding me protectively.
The guys and Dally talked, catching up with one another. "Well it was good to see y'all again, but I should get home." Dally said. "Did you just say y'all?" Emmet asked. "Yea, I got a southern accent from living in Tulsa." Dally said and they nodded. "So you're going back to Tulsa then?" Blade asked. Dally nods and gets up, still holding me close. He was holding me, so I was on his hip. I was kinda small for my age and I didn't mind all that much. "Alright, well maybe we'll come and see you 2 sometime." Storm said.
"Yea, maybe." Dally said and sets me down. All the guys shook hands with Dally as in 'goodbye' and the guys hugged me. I, of course, hugged back though I tensed a little since I was hurting from my recent beating. After we said our 'goodbye's, Dally and I left. I got in his car and he drove off to Tulsa I guess. While we were driving, he ended up calling someone. I think her name was Alison, I wasn't really sure.
When Dally got off the phone it was about 6:30. "Ya hungry kiddo?" Dally asked me. "Kinda." I said, I didn't really ever eat much. Dad never fed me and I had to steal food in order to eat. Dally nods and drives, finding a Dairy Queen. We ended up getting ice cream and it was really good, I've never had ice cream before, really.
~~~~~Next day~~~~
