Darry’s P.O.V
“Daddy?” Danny asks from the back seat. He was six now, and Olivia was one.
“What happened to your mommy and daddy?” He asks.
I don’t answer for a minute, just keep driving. What do I say?
“My mommy and daddy are hanging out in heaven.” Is all I can think of to say.
“They’re partying with Jesus?” Danny asks. “That’s cool!”
“Yeah, bud,” I smile. “Partying with Jesus.”
“Yes I do.” She says in that you’ve-told-me-a-million-times voice.
“Ok… Well are toi sure toi want to do this?” I ask nervously.
“I’m positive.” She says as she gives me a quick Kiss on the lips.
“I swear, if toi hurt yourself…” I shake my head.
The motorcycle starts, and goes forward. Instead of going with the motorcycle., she flips off backwards from it.
I immediately rush to (Y/N).
“Oh my god, (Y/N), are toi ok? Are toi hurt? Where are toi hurt?” I say, head spinning. If she’s hurt badly I’ll just…
“Dally I’m fine.. The motorcycle-“
“Steve can fix the motorcycle. Are toi ok? Where are toi hurt? Do we need to go to the hospital?”
“Dally I’m fine!” She laughs.
“You worry me,” I say, as I scoop her into a hug.
toi aren’t exactly sure what you’re humming to… But it’s something.
“Hey, (Y/N), have toi seen my-” “THUD!” toi rip open the douche curtain to see your boyfriend had tripped over the doorway.
“Oh my god, Two-Bit, are toi ok?!?” toi gasp.
He looks up at you. “Oh my god you’re in the shower!” He yells.
toi yank the curtain back, covering yourself up.
“Two-Bit, are toi ok honey?”you ask.
“After seeing that I’m not.” He says. “Damn, your beautiful.” He says, blushing.
“What a pig.” toi laugh.
“(Y/N), please stay out of this.” Darry says, eyes still locked on his younger brother.
“She has a point.” Ponyboy snorts.
“Don’t use that tone with me, young man.” Darry says, voice raised.
“Who went and made toi dad?” Ponyboy asked, shrugging his shoulders.
“You take that back.” Darry says, lunging for Ponyboy.
They start beating up on each other, nothing serious. Brothers will be brothers.
“Hey! Knock it off!” toi say, trying to separate them on the ground.
Smack!
toi fall back, the hit getting toi hard.
The boys freeze, realizing they’ve hit you.
“Ow!” toi say. “That was my boob!”
They burst out laughing.
“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” toi say as toi remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s plus like an egg.” toi say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, toi need to get out of there.” toi say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. ou me. I just don’t like seeing toi hurt.” toi whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.
“What?” He asks, glancing over at you.
“You’re gonna get pulled over,” toi say, rolling your eyes.
“Do toi think I’d care?” He laughed.
“Dallas Winston, I am shocked and appalled toi just a dit that to me and ran that red light.” toi laugh. “I’m horrified at your driving skills. Remind me not to get into a car with toi again.”

Light cracked the sky open. The crash that followed jolted toi awake. toi sit up in your bed, wide eyed with fear.
toi had been afraid of thunderstorms since toi were little… something about it just frightened toi to no end.
The sound of your boyfriend breathing calmed toi down. The rhythmic deep breathing soothed you, only for a second.
Another crack lit up the sky, with a giant boom that followed.
“Dally.” toi shake your boyfriend awake.
“Babe… what’s the ma-” He stops as he sees your eyes, wide with fear. He sits up straight and wraps his arms around toi pulling toi close. “You’re fine… You’re fine.” He whispers, rocking toi back and forth. “I got you. I promise. I got you.” Hands running through your hair.
“I just don’t like them.” toi mumble into his bare chest.
“I know. I know.” He say. “But I still got you. I promise.”
But toi were already asleep again.
