( FLASHBACK TO SEPTEMBER OF 1967! )
"YOURE SERIOUSLY GOING TO DANCE WITH ME?"
finley rose an eyebrow at dallas, who gave her a smile.
"as long as this is never spoken of, yes i will dance with you."he gave wren a cheeky, but childish look, and she threw her head back laughing like a little kid.
they were home alone at the curtis's house, with 'i can't help falling in love with you' by elvis presley played in the other room, but they could still hear it.
her arms gently wrapped around dallys neck, while his made their way around her waist.
it was her homecoming dance night, and as much as she wanted to go, she didn't want to be around drunk soc's all night. so instead, dallas had promised to dance with her.
the sound of elvis presley's voice echoed throughout the room, as her hips swayed back and forth.
"i swear i cant dance."she chuckled, and dallas shrugged.
"i know one thing you can do."he grinned, sweeping her from her feet.
a squeal left finley's lips as dallas climbed up the stairs.
the emotions and excitement he made her feel, overjoyed her. he was what she imagined as someone she would marry.
and that was dallas,
it was always be dallas

"FIN?"
she finally came back to reality as 'i can't help falling in love with you' played on the record player.
her breathing hitched, and she closed her eyes, "turn it off."
soda furrowed his eyebrows, knowing this was one of finley's favorite songs.
"why isn't this one of your favorite-"soda was cut off, as finley went into a full blown panic.
"turn it off!"she screamed, and darry quickly got up from his chair, going over to finley.
"turn it off!"
"pony make it stop!"darry yelled, and pony did the best he could to get the record to stop.
"turn it off!"finley screamed, with her cries being heard within the neighborhood but nobody questioned it.
all of the memories flooded in like a wave, crashing into her.
from when he had made her his own, to stepping on his feet by accident, and being worried he'd stop dancing with her, but he never did.
the music slowly faded out, but finley's screams & cries didn't.
"out!"darry instructed, pointing his brothers to go outside, but the memories kept playing in finley's head.
"make it stop!"she cried, trying to push past darry, and darry grabbed ahold of her.
"finley wren curtis!"
darrys yell shook her, and she held back her sobs with wide eyes.
and the memories stopped.
he held her shoulders, - not in an angry way, but to kept her in place as he soon wrapped her into a hug.
her sobs were muffled by darrys black tee shirt, as her knuckles turned white from her death grip.
"i've got you."he whispered, stroking her hair, letting her cry everything out.
"make it stop."she whispered, and darrys eyebrows furrowed.
"make what stop wren?"he asked, and she took a deep breath in.
