One Life

It had been a week since I fought with Dally, I had not seen him or talked to him, I was so mad I wouldn't answer the door or see him when someone did answer the door. I haven't left the house much since just went for groceries a place I knew I world never see Dally. I was still on vacation, I'm due back next week, and I'll have to show for it, we have to stay united and living life like usual, by now other gangs knew Tim was away and we have caught a few trying to move in on our territory. Sighing I got up from bed to shower and get breakfast ready for the boy's bored they woke up and showed up. After a nice warm shower and a hearty breakfast the boy's went out to do their business and I was left alone with my thoughts once again, suddenly I felt sick, I didn't think I ate anything bad, I quickly ran to the bathroom, wondering what could have set this off, for the first time since Tim was taken to the slammer I was happy that I was alone.
Sighing I tried to go for a nap and that didn't work I made the nausea worse to I got up threw my hair up in a ponytail and grabbed my keys locked up and much to my dismay I went to the store, where Sodapop worked, hoping that it was his day off.
If only I was that lucky, he was the first person I saw when I walked in, he was their talking with Ponyboy and Dally, great just what I need today, I thought to myself. I sucked it up I needed gingerale badly, now just to hope I could get in and out before another wave hit me, I quickly grabbed 2 bottles and went to pay of co use Dally had to stop me to talk.
Me- Not today Dally, I just wanna pay and go home.
Dal- come on sis I jus wanna talk, I'm sorry I tried pushing you….
He looked down and saw what was in my hands, he looked up with a puzzled look
Dal- are you sick? He asked in a worried tone
Sighing I responded as calmly as possible " I'm fine Dally, just ate something bad is all"
Dallas scoffs did he just scoff at me!? I could feel rage building within me, o
I need to calm down take deep breathes…1…..2…3….. before I could finish counting he starts speaking again
Dal- you've never made anything bad I'm your life! You're an amazing cook, and I know you didn't eat at the diner so unless your goin to the other side which I highly doubt
Me- you keep in tabs on me Dallas Winston!?
Now I'm furious, I'm not a baby, I can hold my own just fine
Me- I don't need a babysitter Dallas I said with venom dripping off every word you forget so quick you just left me! I took care of myself for years Dally YEARS!
I knew that was a low blow in my calm and rational state I knew I would regret that, I know he didn't abandon me, or at least he didn't mean to, not like he did ugh just the thought of our so called father did. The look on his face made me start regretting it, he didn't know that after he left dad threw me out to the streets, only Tim knew what my so called father did. Sighing I pushed pass with a quiet "I'm sorry Dally"
I went and paid for my drinks and left. Through the day the feeling never left, I decided that if I still felt this way in the morning I would go to the hospital to get checked, but for now I was going to bed.
