“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” You say as you remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s more like an egg.” You say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, you need to get out of there.” You say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. Or me. I just don’t like seeing you hurt.” You whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.

“What?” He asks, glancing over at you.
“You’re gonna get pulled over,” you say, rolling your eyes.
“Do you think I’d care?” He laughed.
“Dallas Winston, I am shocked and appalled you just said that to me and ran that red light.” You laugh. “I’m horrified at your driving skills. Remind me not to get into a car with you again.”

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

heres yet another poem that i wrote. enjoy!
i cried when i looked at the sky
it reminded me of you
my tears were hot with love
and affection for you
i want you so bad, honey
youre all ive ever wanted
but i guess thats too much to ask
God wont give me you, im haunted
so i stay up at night with you by my side
but thats only a dream
its never anything real
baby, i wish you knew me
if only you were real in my reality
youre real in my imaginatin
but daydreaming isnt enough
i want your affection
i really do wish you knew who i am
but your love i will never get
your affection i will never feel
but, before, we HAVE met
i read about your story
and i truly am sorry
you suffered a great loss and your pain i feel
and i wanted to say to you: Ponyboy, you are the author of your own life story
