Losing Control [Dallas Winston]

"You taught me how to feel the butterflies over and over again"

Dallas
On the way home I was so upset. I keep getting this damn feeling around her. I know we dated for like a week but it was the best damn week. I saw her walk inside happily and go into her room. I heard clatters of hangers and I could tell she was happy. I knew she'd be happier without me. What really broke us apart? It all happened so fast.

She walked out in this little black dress. It was short too.

"How does this look?" she asked with a smile.

"Too short" Darry, Soda, Pony, and I said together.

"Assholes," she said walking back into her room to change.

She then came out in this burgundy dress. She looked beautiful but she couldn't go out like that.

"No," we said again. The others just looked at us confused.

"Am I too fat..." she said sadly looking down.

"Win, they're your brothers," Jenna said and she crossed her arms.

"Dallas isn't"

"Uh. I don't know what he's thinking but Soda, Pony, and Darry are your brothers so that's why they are saying no" she said and she nodded heading back to her room.

We sat there in silence when Jenna started lecturing me.

"I can see you care Dallas and I can see you don't want her to go. So grow a pair and tell her the truth"

"Why? She hates me"

"Uh like I said. Grow a pair and get over yourself. The more you say no she's gonna think lower of herself"

I just shrugged.

She came out in shorts and a sweatshirt.

"How about this huh? Does this make me look ugly or no" she snapped.

"It looks good" Darry, Soda, and Pony said.

She looked at me then the others.

"Looks fine" I shrugged and Sam shook her head.

"No. I don't like it. Go wear something else" she said and Winter looked sad walking back.

Moments later she walked out in this tight fit dress. She looked like a goddamn angel. My jaw dropped and I was speechless.

"No!" her brothers said and the gang chuckled.

"I think you look great," Sam and Jenna said.

"I don't really care that much" Two said watching tv.

"I think you look hot," Steve said and I glared at him.

"You look very pretty," Johnny said with a smile.

She smiled a real smile and looked at me.
