A/N Well…Road trip! :D not too long though because I'm horrible with writing everything that happens in one day…it sounds like I'm trying to hard…and if I don't write enough it seems like I'm not even trying…well…review? :D
"I can try." I said smiling. He sighed. "Come in." He said. He walked into Buck's and I followed.
I saw a lot of drunken men and a bunch of funny dressed girls. I didn't want to question it, and I tried not to remember anything I saw.
I followed Dally upstairs and he hopped in bed. "Where do I sleep?" I asked. "The ground." Dallas replied. I lie down on the ground and immediately found it hard to sleep. I was shaking because it seemed very cold to me.
I got up and crawled into bed next to Dally. "Get off." He said quickly. I just nudged myself closer. "The ground." He said. "Its too cold." I said quietly, falling sleepy quickly. "I don't care. Get on the ground." He said angrily.
I just got in a comfy position and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I found myself in the corner of the room with my teddy that randomly appeared, far away from Dallas' bed. "Well at least I fell asleep with my big brother last night." I thought as I rubbed my eyes.
"Its about time you woke up." I heard Dally's voice say. He walked into the room and just stared at me coldly. "Well you comin or not?" He asked harshly. I nodded and got up, following him out the door and into the streets.
I reached for Dally's hand and grabbed it, but he pulled away. I walked next to him anyways and smiled, hoping for him to look down at me, but he just kept looking ahead. I sighed and Ponyboy's house came into view.
Dally just walked in, I followed. "Hey Johnnycake." Dallas said sounding a bit happy. "Hey Dal." Johnny's face lit up. Two-Bit lay on the couch with a beer in hand, and Pony sat in the kitchen with another boy.
"Hi Ponyboy, Two-bit…Hey Johnny." I said softly. "Hey Sodapop that's Liana, Dal's little sister. Liana this is my older brother Sodapop." Ponyboy said. I waved shyly and Sodapop waved back.
"Hey Johnny I'm going to New York to take Liana back home, wanna come?" Dallas asked. I looked at Johnny who looked at me. Maybe he was reading my mind because I really wanted to be alone with Dally. "No, I got uh…stuff to do with Ponyboy, right Pony?" Johnny said unconvincingly. "Yeah. Go ahead and take your little sister by yourself." Pony said smiling at me. "Thank you." I mouthed.
Eventually, we left their house and were back on the road, in Dallas' car. Dally seemed angry but I kept smiling and staring at him. I gripped onto my teddy bear tight. "Dally do you know where I got this from?" I asked happily.
He only looked at me through the corner of his eye. "No and I don't want to know." He said coldly. I was going to tell him anyways. "It's the teddy bear you left behind when you left home. It means a lot to me. Since it was yours, I didn't want Mom and Dad to throw it away." I said happily.
Dally didn't say anything. I looked at the old teddy bear and thought for a minute. "Remember when we were kids and you would never let go of this bear? And you would never let me hold it…then again you never let me do anything." I said softly. Dally's expression changed for a split second, remembering our childhood, then went back into his cold stare.
"Don't make me remember my dumb childhood." That was his response. "Why is it so hard to get through to you?" I whispered. I don't know if Dally heard me or not, but I didn't care if he did.
My stomach suddenly growled. "Dally I'm hungry." I said softly. Dallas sighed. "We'll get something to eat later but for now, lets play the quiet game." He said. "Ok!" I said happily. "I'm so going to win!" I thought. I looked out the window and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
A Dairy Queen came into view and we stopped there. Dally ordered something for me and when the food came out, Dallas and I dug in. When I unwrapped my meal, I found a burger instead of my usual chicken strips.
"Dally?" I said, staring at the burger. "What?" He said with a mouthful. "I don't eat burgers, remember?" I said. He face palmed his hand. "Just…eat it…" He said angrily. I took a bite of it and nearly puked. "Dallas…I can't…" I said, trying my hardest not to throw up. "Eat it…" Dallas said, angrier this time.
I took another bite and puked out the window. "Jesus Christ!" Dallas cried. I felt my face turn hot. "This trip is going horrible so far…" I thought as I blew chunks. I felt Dally patting me on the back. "Just let it all out…" He said softly.
After I went to the bathroom and washed up, I stepped out of the bathroom and got into the car. It looked like Dally wanted to say something, but was holding back. "Let's go." I said softly.
We went back on the road and I wasn't hungry anymore, but I sure was queasy. I just stared out the window and was quiet for the next few minutes, until I felt something coming up my throat. "Dally…I think I'm gonna-" I puked inside the car.
We stopped at the next motel, Dally cleaned the car and we sneaked in through the window rather than paying. "Get some sleep." Dally said coldly. I climbed in next to him like I did at Buck's. "Ground." He said.
He turned and stared at me in the eyes. I gave him the puppy dog eyes and said, "Please?" I stared into his cold eyes until they grew a bit softer. "Fine. But only for tonight." He said angrily.
I snuggled up next to Dally's strong arm. Slowly I fell asleep with my teddy bear and Dallas' arm.
