Me and Soda went inside and I followed him to the bedroom. I stood in the doorway since Pony was already sleeping. He handed me a plastic box that weighed a lot. I felt my eyes get teary and I'm guessin Soda noticed because he embraced me into a hug.
"Are you gonna be okay walking home?" Soda asked concerned.
"Yeah. Dally will protect me." I said. I felt a small smile creep on my face.
"Call me when you get home. I will not go to bed till you call me. Deal?"
"Deal. Is Darry up?" I asked.
"Yeah. He should be in the kitchen." I went to the kitchen and told Darry and Soda goodnight then I went home. On the way home, a mustang slowed down and the passenger side window rolled down.
"Hey babe." A Soc said as he was slurring that sentence. I ignored the comment and kept walking. I got father than the car just by a couple of feet. The car speed up a bit and trying to catch up. I help tight to the box that contained Dally. I hope he was here with me to protect me. The door open and only one Soc came out. "Come on Rose. You can cry in my arms. You're single now, be with me." He said. I turned around to see a familiar face. It was Paul, one of Darry's old buddy from high school. I turned around and started to walk away but I started to walk faster when I heard the footsteps getting faster, like running. He ran on the road so he would be next to me if he caught up. I turned my head to see how far he is. He fell backwards, like someone pushed him from the front. All of a sudden, when I ran, I felt weightless. Like I was gliding on the road. I smiled to myself. Dally had to do something with it. I know he had to. I finally got home. Buck was asleep on the sofa. I quietly went up the stairs to my room. I called Soda to let him know I was home but Darry answered and said Soda was out cold. Good job Soda, I said to myself. I got into my room and put Dally on the nightstand where I lay next to when I go to bed. I went to that plastic bag I got earlier today from the fuzz. There was a pack of cancer sticks and a lighter inside of it. I grabbed the lighter and a stick and brought it to the box. I set the cancer stick on top and had the lighter standing up next to the box. I sat in the chair that was across the room and stared at that box. Half hour past by and I decided to go to bed. I crawled in and turned the light off. The only light was the stars shining thru my window. I faced the box one more time then kiss it. "Goodnight Dally. I love you."Paste your document here...
