Boy Next Door (Ponyboy X Reader)

Where's Dal?

your POV

i woke up the next morning with a smile on my face.

"morning guys!" i said to my brothers as i skipped happily out of my room.

"hey kiddo!" David said.

"hi y/n!" James said.

i went back into my room to get dressed and get ready. i looked at my desk and smiled when i saw the necklace pony got me and put it on.

My brothers and I walked over to the curtis house as always and saw the whole gang when we walked in. well the whole gang minus Dally...

"Where's Dal?" i asked walking in.

"havent seen him all morning," darry replied, "pony is still sleeping you're welcome to go wake him up y/n," he added.

"on it!" soda and i cheered.

but before we got the chance to do anything a sleepy Ponyboy walked out of his room.

"hi y/n," pony said tiredly.

"hi pone," i replied giving him a hug.

Pony looked around the room then asked,
"where's Dal?"

"we haven't seen him all morning, he's probably just sleeping in," i said.

I walked over to johnny who looked worried.

"don't worry johnnycakes, i'm sure he's okay," i said reassuringly.

we all spent a few hours at the curtis house before soda, steve, and david's shifts.

"guys Dally hasn't shown up, we should go look for him," Pony said.

"we can have a search party just us. he's probably just at Buck's. but don't get the police involved, you never know with that kid," darry said.

we left the house and headed to Buck's, but we were stopped by another greaser.

"y'all seen the newspaper?" he asked.

"um no?" i said.

he handed us a newspaper that read

bob sheldon, murdered. suspected victim: dallas winston
wanted dead or alive: $400 reward

"he wouldnt-" i said handing back the newspaper.

"it must just be a misunderstanding," pony said.

we walked into Buck's,

"where's Dal?" we asked.

"havent seen him since late last night," Buck said.

"thanks for nothing," i said slamming the door behind me.

"y/n i think i might know where he went.."
