Let Her Go
(A song-fic by Itjewells)
It was the day of the funeral, the whole gang was on the way to the building. Saige watched as Darry slowly pulled into the gravel driveway. She still couldn't believe that Ivy was gone, no she didn't believe. When she got there Ivy would be standing there laughing, and Dally would call her sweetheart. Then she would yell at him, while giving him a peck on the cheek. Nothing would change, but yet everything would. "Dal you ok?" she looked at him, his eyes were red and puffy. "Yea Saige, I'm fine." He wiped his eyes. This time Two-Bit wouldn't make fun of him, because he had been crying too. "Alright we're here." Darry said with a blank expression. He stepped out of the car and opened the door for Saige. For the first time ever she was wearing a dress, a black silky dress with a pair of black sparkly high heels. Dally just as the other guys was wearing a black and white tuxedo, with the necklace with half a heart Ivy had gotten him for their one year anniversary. Since her death it hasn't left his neck.
"Ivy was a brilliant girl, she… she was everything I've ever wanted and more. Sure I've had plenty of girlfriends, but I never really knew what love was until she showed me. She was the type of person you could trust with anything and she would never judge you. She was beautiful, smart, funny, and so much more. There is an endless list of things I wish I could have said to her, but never got the chance. I regret that so much, there was, she," Dally stopped speaking to wipe his eyes. "She was mine, and someone took her from me. I only knew her for a few years, but I knew everything, her hopes, dreams, fears, everything. And if I had the choice of going in her place, I wouldn't have hesitated. There is no doubt in my mind that I love her." He finished stepping down. Saige ran up and hugged him, it was almost as if Ivy wanted her to. "She loves you too." Saige looked up at Dally, he was crying, no bawling.
Finally the funeral was over, everyone was a mess. The car was full of teenagers bawling like babies. Including Darry for once. The gang had lost one of their own, and weren't going to let those Socs get away with this.
Prologue.
Life was terrible, Dally was always drunk and constantly in the cooler, Two-Bit was not the wise cracking teen anymore, Darry was never home, Sodapop started drinking, Ponyboy stopped watching sunsets, Steve never came around anymore, Saige stopped talking and eating, even Johnny was depressed now. Nothing was the same, and never would be again. The gang fell apart at the seams. Nobody hung out anymore, the Socs had won, Greasers would never be the same.
