i got silent, i never explained in depth what happened to my parents often since it was a topic i kept away from myself and others

"the only reason i said yes to the deal was because i could get money and live with my grandma" i told him. "my grandma then passed away, she never knew what i was doing so i got married to ray"

"who the fuck is ray?" his jaw clenched, his hands that rested on the table formed into a small fist

"dally i'm not married to him anymore". it's ray the famous actor?" i went on. crooking a brow, making sure he knew who i was talking about. "i came here to just see everyone before i went back to new york"

"wow" his voice got softer than usually. "i guess i didn't know lots about you"

"what did you think you knew about me huh?" i gave him a look

dally shrugged his shoulders. "i thought you were some girl who enjoyed fucking around"

"you got that wrong. dally i value my life a lot and my family, i loved my aunt so much because she's my only other family here in america"

"so baby you've never been in love then?"

"i guess not" i took another sip through my straw. "what about you dal?"

he scoffed. "love is dumb okay?"

"i thought you had a girlfriend sylvia?"

"angelica, she two time when i was in jail" dally rolled his eyes while i stared at him. "baby it ain't odd meeting a guy who's been to jail here"

"i kn—"

"listen" he leaned closer to me. "i've been to jail a lot of times, so you'll need to get use to that"

i didn't say another thing to him, he's sometimes was getting on my nerves, a bit too much

"sylvia was a broad a picked up and then left" dally tried to stayed tuff while he explained the whole problem

"you've been ranting about her for a bit" i played with my straw. "seems like you like her"

"fuck off" dally was loosing his temper. "she was a bitch"

i stopped myself before i asked further, i knew dally was going to caused a huge scene

"i need to go now" i wanted to get up, away from him. "t—"

"you aren't going anywhere" he threw a couple of dimes onto the table before he begun chasing after me

i went out the diner, ignoring the fact he was behind me

"i still want to hang" he nudge my shoulder, staring my lips

he stared at them for a while. he noticed the strawberry chapstick on my lips, before he came closer to me rubbing the edges

"you messed it up here" dally used his finger to fix it, rubbing my skin

I nearly almost jumped by his touch but didn't say anything

"i really appreciate h-how you're h-hanging with me but i need to talk to steve and soda" i stuttered my whole sentence, getting nervous by how close dally's body was to mine

"we'll head to soda's together" he swing his keys around his finger

c u r t i s  h o u s e

as soon dally fling the door opened, i recognized two boys it hadn't seen in years

pony sat in the living room, reading on the couch besides his friend while darry was cleaning the table

"look angelica is here" soda cheered, catching the boys attention

"hey angelica it's been a bit" pony waved, before he went back talking to the boy besides him

i waved back at pony before darry's eyes in locked into mine

"angelica..." darry smiled. "i haven't seen you in ages"

"it's been two years" i rolled my eyes

"that's johnny by the way" pony introduce his friend that looked like he was around pony's age

he shyly waved at me as i did back

dally went up to johnny, before he begun fooling around with him

i went up to soda, steve, and there other friend who then laughed by seeing me

"hey angelica!" he gave a friendly smile. "it's two-bit by the way"

"nice meeting you" i smiled back, trying to be polite as possible

"so..." soda held the cards in his hand, as the three played poker. "angel can i quickly talked to you?"

"sure"

as soda and i made our way to the kitchen he asked. "so is everything with dally been going good?"

"yeah but I know it's going to take some time before i just ask him" i answered, "i'll take things slow"

"angel, just know just not to fall in love with dally" he nudge my shoulder. "because we all know if dally's falls in love, he won't want to let go of you"

"trust me soda" I laughed. "he won't"
