"It's Dally, the cops are after him," Darry turns around after he gets off the phone. "I think he's in trouble."

The whole gang stands up running out of the house, but by the time we get to the lot, Dally pulls out a gun. He can't be that stupid. I see more guns get pulled out, one by every cop. "Don't shoot!" I squeak before I hear multiple fires. Dally's limp body falls to the ground. He slowly crawls over to us barley whispering, "Aver-"

"You animals!" Darry yells.

"He's just a kid!" Soda yells.

"Dallas," Pony and Johnny whisper.

"It wasn't even loaded!" Two-bit screams.

"What did you do?" Steve booms.

I just drop to the ground next to him crying out, "oh my god Dallas!"
***
"Dally, you love me," I look over at him smiling.

He takes a strand of my hair leaning in close to the point that I can smell his breathe, "never said I didn't doll."

I bite my lip, "you always make me blush."

"Are things really over with Ponyboy?" He asks seductively.

"Afraid so," I sigh.

"I didn't mean to upset you," he speaks softly. 

I shake my head, "I'm not upset."

"Good," he smirks before he leans in.  His lips crash against mine. I quickly wrap my arms around his neck as I hang on him. He smiles behind the kiss, but at the same time I'm not sure if he just wants to get in my pants again or if he really likes me. As we pull apart he smiles, "you look really beautiful."

I blush as I look down tucking my hair behind my ear, "Dally, stop you're making me blush."

"You know everybody is in love with you, right?" He asks. 

I shake my head, "impossible."

"Super possible," he shrugs indolently.

"You make things up Winston," I accuse.

"Positive?"  He asks jokingly.

I nod my head, "in more ways than you think."

He smirks, "how many mores way?"

"It's a secret," I smile as I stand up.

His smile grows as he stands up walking over to me,  "can't keep a secret from me babe, you know that."

I chuckle softly, "I'm not your babe, you know that."

"You love me though," he grabs my small build pressing his body against me. "Admit it."

I push his warm body off mine, "never!"

"Then just kiss me," he smirks as he pulls me in for another kiss.

As we pull apart he smiles over at me. I chuckle as I try to hide my blush, "I hate you! You're so annoying!"

He smiles, "I know you love me and you know you love me...more than Ponyboy at least."

I shake my head, "I think I'm in love with Ponyboy."

He looks over at me something that I can't tell behind his eyes, "I-I gotta go!"

"Dallas wait!" I yell after him, but it's too late he's gone.

Dally plays with my hair as my head is in his lap, "do you ever get butterflies in your stomach when your about to see me or blush when I say something sweet?"

"I always blush Dally, what are you talking about?" I ask.

He smiles, "when I think of you, I feel like my body is on fire. I start to sweat and get nervous. Butterflies fly around in my stomach. It's as if you were my crush when I was in junior high or my first love in high school."

"Dally stop!" I yell playfully as I blush. "I hate it when you make me blush."

"Does Pony make you blush?" He asks as he leans in to the point where I can feel his warm breathe tickling my skin.

I shake my head, "no, because he knows I hate blushing."

"I love it when you blush," he smiles as he bites his lip. "You know that."

"Well I don't!" I pout.

He laughs at me with a light smile on his lips, "you're the only girl who never fails to make me smile. I love that about you."

My smile grows, but so does my blushing cheeks, "Dally, will you stop that!"

His smile fades, "do you love me though?"

"Stop making it awkward!" I yell at him as I slap him playfully.

"It's a question," he smirks. "Nothing awkward about it."

I roll my eyes at him, "it's awkward. I'm dating one of your best friend's and your like five years older than me, you're eighteen Dally."

He sighs, "age has nothing to do with love."

"I love Ponyboy," I look over at him. "I love you as if you were my brother."

"You feel the chemistry between us too though," he assumed. "I know you do, because you get more happy when you're around me. Your whole demeanor changes. That's how I know you love me, even if you can't admit it."

I look over to him and try not to laugh, "whatever helps you sleep at night Winston."

"Having you next to me would really help me sleep at night," he flirts shamelessly, but I know Dally and I would expect nothing less from him. "Why can't you just admit it?"

"I couldn't love you, even if I wanted to," I inform him.

He leans over whispering, "so you do want me."

"If I wanted you," I repeat.

He smirks, "I want you."

"Dallas enough," I roll my eyes lovingly at him. 

He smile shrinks just a little bit, "you love me a little bit."

"Will ya stop flirting me?" I ask him snapping a little bit.

"Only because ya asked me love," he smiles.

I lay my head back on his lap, "thank you Dally."

"Any time love," he says as he goes back to playing with my hair.
***
"No! No! Please!" I sob into Dally's dead chest. "Please! Stay with me! Dally! Please! Open your eyes. Please Dallas!" I lay my head on his dead chest as I sob. "You can't leave me! Please don't love me! Dally, I love you! Please!"

"Excuse me ma'am," I feel somebody tap my shoulder. "We have to take him to the hospital."

"He's dead!" I snap on the cop who helped kill him. "You killed him!"

The police squats down next to me, "I'm so sorry for killing your boyfriend."

"He has kid!" I sob. "I'm pregnant!"

"I am so sorry, but you're gonna have to go," the police says.

I reluctantly get up as I watch them take Dally's dead body away. "What do you mean you're pregnant?" Two-bit asks.

I take a deep breathe knowing this is it.

I guess you could say that Dallas Winston was my first love, but I don't think I actually loved him, it was more of an infatuation. I thought that I might of been in love with him, but as I look back I don't think I was. I think I wanted to be because he loved me and I thought we could have our happily ever after.

Okay, wow! This chapter is so sad. I feel so bad for Avery. What do you think? Was she in love with Dally? This is the last chapter of this book for 2015!!!! Stay gold. Do it for Johnny!
