Ponyboy:

Two-Bit lead the way and Johnny and I started shoven' each other to see who would talk to the girl. "Hi" Johnny said quietly.

"Hey" she said happily.

Johnny scratched the back of his head and awkwardly asked the girl for her name. "Delia. What's yours?"

"I'm Johnny Cage and this is Ponyboy Curtis" Johnny said trying to speak louder.

"Hey" I say. Is this what it feels like to be the third wheel? Johnny and Minty where having a conversation, so I sped up my pace to catch up to Two-Bit. "I don't like her" I scowl.

Two-Bit smiled "You just don't like her cause she digs Johnnycakes."

"That's not true!" I exclaim.

Two-Bit starts to laugh "Come on Pony, let Johnny be happy!"

"Whatever man; where's Dally anyway?"

"He's just at the movies." Two-Bit said happily.

"Really!?" I was shocked; I thought that he'd be at Buck's or something. I guess he wanted to stir up trouble with the Socs.

We finally got to the drive in and found Dally; Johnny and Delia were talking by the snack area drinking Cokes. I was glad Johnny was happy, I guess. We found Dally bothering two Soc. Girls.

"Dall!" Two-Bit yelled

"What!?" Dally turned around mildly annoyed.

"There is some girl from New York City who wants to talk to you." Dally swore under his breath and came over. "You think you'll know her?" Dally shrugged then sighed. He followed us to the concession stand where Delia and Johnny where. Delia tried to hug Dally but Dally moved out of the way.

Dally grabbed her wrists and stared at her "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Dallas, Mom's dead!"

"Just go home! I can't help you." Dally was stern and he looked pissed off.

"Dallas, I need some where to stay, I can't…"

Dally cut her off. "Delia I can't do anything, Dad can't do anything and won't do anything for you!" Dally was furious.

"Dally please! I'm not going anywhere! I'm not going back to New York Dall! Mom killed herself and I don't know where to go or what to do!" She pleaded with Dally and was on the break of tears.

"Why didn't you just go to Dad!?" Dally was about to start yelling

"Dallas he hates me! I wouldn't want to go to him for help he didn't ever help me and he never will! He used to hit me Dall. When you went outside he would just hit me!"

"Delia I didn't know" Dally was trying to sound sympathetic but it didn't come out quite right. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You were always in jail and I didn't want you to worry about me." Delia looked down her hands trembling.

"Delia I'm sorry." Delia shook her head and Johnny and I stood there awkwardly. Two-Bit just walked away.

"I'm sorry Dallas I shouldn't have come to you for help. If you don't want me to stay I'll go back, whatever is best for you." Her hands were trembling even harder than before. Dally looked around took deep breaths.

Then he looked at me. "Ponyboy"

"Yeah"

"Do you think she could stay with you guys for the night?"

"I think we have an extra room. You'll have to ask Darry."

"Alright, Delia stay in their house 'till I tell you, you can come to Dad's I have to sort things out with him. Understand." Delia nodded her head. I never knew this side if Dally existed. I swear I heard him say his Dad was the only family he had left. We started to walk back to our street. Johnny went home and told us he'd come in the morning. Things had been rough for him, his Dad has still been abusing him and his parent's fights just got worse. He did find a way to sneak into his room which reduced his beatings.

We got into our house and Dally came inside with us. "Darry!" Dally shouted.

"What!?" Darry shouted from the bathroom.

"Come out. We need to talk!"

Darry came out from the shower with a towel wrapped around him. "Who's this?" Darry asked suspiciously

"A friend from New York" Dally said being completely seriously.

"Alright, what do you need?"

Dally took a deep breath like he was nervous. Dally being nervous didn't make sense. I thought he was someone who was never nervous who was always so dauntless. "I need a place for her to stay, just for tonight."

"I don't know Dall…" Darry glanced over at me then at Delia.

"Darry please, I'll explain tomorrow or Ponyboy can it doesn't really matter. Just 'till I talk to my Dad and straiten this out."

"Alright fine we have a spare room, sorry if it's messy" Darry says to Delia and he walks back into the bathroom. Dally runs out and I show Delia her room. I get in my pajamas and go into the living room where Darry is reading the newspaper. "Who the hell is that girl?!" Darry says almost whispering.

I spat out everything I knew "She's Dally's kid sister from New York City, I guess their Mom died and now she doesn't have anywhere to go. Her name is Delia and Dally didn't want her staying with their Dad yet."

"So Dally really does care about someone" Darry said smiling. I laughed "Night Pony"

"Night Darry, I'll see you in the morning." I walked into my room and immediately went to bed.
