"Wake up"

"Wake up"

You felt someone shaking your shoulder. Your eyes refused to open. You shook your head no and shifted in place. You heard a sigh and you were in someone's arms. Then you felt a jump and fell onto the group in someone's arms.

You woke up your shoulder had gotten scraped on the grassy ground.

"The hell?" You said you saw Dal and Johnny looking down at you. Dal helped you up and you looked around. Seeing the rural area. It was beautiful. It was a quiet area and you saw a church on the top of the hill.

"Dal? Why are we here I thought we were going to Mexico?" You asked.

"We are wanted for killing a cop, they will be checking the area. We need to lay low and then we will be able to go. Plus, we are gonna need some money. They have my mugshot and not yours or Johnny's." Dal said.

"So I should get a job here?" You said.

"Only to get enough money for Mexico, I'm sorry. We will need to change our appearance, we will have to dye our hair" Dal said.

"Dye?!" You said holding onto your hair.

"Yes y/n, we have to look as different as possible. I'm sure you'll look nice as a blonde babe" Dal chuckled.

"Dal this is not the moment for jokes! I don't wanna dye my hair." You said holding onto your hair. You ran to the church in a fit, you found a small entrance and crawled in. Looking at the dusty old church. You sighed and sat at one of the old benches.

"I'm sorry y/n." Dal said. His tone wasn't joking, he was serious. It sent a shiver down your spine.

"I'm scared Dal. I'm scared. I don't know what to do." You said feeling tears fall down your face.

"I know, but we'll be okay. I'll do anything to make sure we'll be happy" Dal said.

"Okay Dal." You said laying on the church bench. To fall asleep. You were still pretty tired.

"I love you y/n. I'll be back. Johnny stay here I'll be back in joining to get some supplies"Dal said leaving.

You felt Johnny looking at you, you felt warm tears fall down your face and you sobbed quietly. Johnny just stood quiet.

He couldn't help but feel sad seeing the person he loved as a sister. Seeing how she use to be so happy and bright. Turn so sad and a shell of her former self.

"I'm sorry we brought you to this mess y/n" Johnny said quietly. Probably expecting for you not to hear him. But you did you didn't feel like responding you were falling asleep once again. Crying as you fall asleep.

You were cold but you woke up with warmth around you. You also felt more comfortable. You look around and you were on the ground in Dally's arms. You stood up quickly and tripped slightly waking Dal up.

"Ugh sorry" you said nervously. You didn't dare look at Dal.

All this tension was bringing you two apart. Dal saw that and stood up.

"No don't be. Look I got you somethings." Dal said with a small smile.

He opened a small box and took out some items. There was scissors, hair dye, and food for a month. You sighed looking at that hair dye.

Dal took out a small radio from the box.
"Here this is for you" he said handing it to you.

"A radio?" You said questioning why he had gotten it.

"I'm sorry you had to leave all your records back home. I'm sure ponyboy will take care of them for you but till then I know you might want to listen to some music on the mean time" Dal said smiling once again. That sincere smile that seemed out of place on his face.

This was a different Dally, sure he looked like Dal. But now he had something or rather someone he really cared about.

"Thanks Dal" you forced a smile. He sighed.

He knew this was gonna take time so he gave you his space and walked over to Johnny scissors in hand. You followed him. They had gone outside the sun was setting and the sky was a odd color of red and yellow. It was beautiful none of the less.

"Come on Johnny we gotta do this" Dal laughed.

"Just do it Dal, get it over it" he said softly. But Johnny looked less scared. He looked more hopeful. He was happy to leave if anything and you knew he didn't ever want to go back. You saw it in how his eyes sparkled. He seemed more relaxed in a new place. You were jealous on how okay he was with everything.

While you were on the other hand were a stressful mess.

You saw Johnny's long hair fall into the dirt floor and showed more of his face. Strange how a haircut could change someone's face a lot.

Next it was me. You sighed and stood in front of Dal and sat down. Dal gave you a pat on the back. He leaned in to give you a kiss on the forehead but held back. Knowing that you wouldn't want that. He just started cutting your hair your long hair now up to your shoulders. But that wasn't over you felt the cheap bleach on your hair and you waited for awhile. After that Dal helped you rinse out the bleach and you say down a old blanket on your shoulders. Dal got his haircut from Johnny.

"Good you got these scissors Dal, I don't know how we could of cut our hair with out one" Johnny chuckled.

"Yeah you would have to use your blade that would of been a pain in the ass huh Johnny?" He laughed.

They continued and Dal bleached his hair as well. You headed inside while the waited for the bleach. You looked around the old church for a broom. You found one it was seemed to be a storage closet and started sweeping. You tried to clean the dust from most of the areas and it looked better. You moved the church benches away to help have more room. You moved to benches together to make a bigger space to sleep. You looked around and found old clothes and used them to wipe down the benches. The church was at least a little less dusty. You saw a bunny and sat next to it slowly. You started to pet it and it stood there. Like it always wanted a petting bud. You smiled and started to hold the bunny. You held it and laid down on the bench bunny in your arms. The bunny seemed to cuddle in your arms you sighed happy falling asleep once again.
