My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me

Chapter 23

Ponyboy's POV
"It's a good thing to be strange, normalness leads to sadness.."

I sighed and walked away from my sisters door. She never really understood what normal meant.

I plopped myself onto the couch sighing.

"You just keep sighing little boy and I'll give you work to do.." Darry says giving me a side glance from whatever he was doing.

"It's Katherine.." I mumble

He gives a heartfelt small laugh "When isn't it Katherine?"  And with that he left to work

I suddenly hear a loud noise coming from upstairs.

"Go away! Come hurt us later!" I yell

I hear steps walking down where I am

"Damn Ponyboy, if it weren't me you'd be dead by now." It was Dallas.

I threw myself into the pile of pillows on the sofa and hit something. Hard

"Ow what the hell?!"

I got up quickly

"Can't a guy get some damn rest?" It was twobit

Dallas laughed "You my friend, has gotta chill. You seem jumpy. Huh, was it Katherine again?"

"Oh shut up, you've gone through the same, and with the family reunion coming up, oh lord."

Dally laughs and sighs "She's one tough bitch to handle-"

"Only she can't handle the Randle!" Of course it's Steve.

Darry walks up behind Steve and picks him up  and throws him over his shoulder, "You're right, no one can handle your loud ass."

As soon as that's stated, Katherine says "Weren't you supposed to be at work, Superman?"

"Yeah but they didn't have much clients today so they told everyone to go home. And you don't get to call me 'Superman'." he says pointing at Kat with a stern finger but laughs.

"So the family reunion is coming up in a couple of days, and we need to get ready for what you guys are going to wear." Says Katherine

We all groan and I laugh.

THE NEXT FUCKING DAY

Katherine's POV

We left early in the morning to go get the guy's tuxes. I already have my dress but the guys didn't go get them when I had bought my dress that day. Although I kinda admit, I made them forget because I didn't want to be seen with a fucking dress but I do love it.

"Why is it so early?" yawns Johnny who's hair is in a mess and every one of the guys has a sleepy look in their eyes.

I flip them off and we go into the store.

There were different tuxes for different occasions surprisingly and I myself had tried on some dresses but they were all crap, but the boys had finally chose their tuxes.

Ponyboy had taken a, what the socs would call "candid", photo of me but I ended up looking at the camera since Pony seems to love humouring me a lot with the camera.

We had decided to go out to eat at the Dairy Queen which quite frankly got Darry pissed off since he knew about the little 'inside joke' Dally and I have, wait no, had.

I'm not going to lie but I can't wait for the reunion because I get to spend time with the guys especially Dally. I kinda miss having him around but I've been feeling a lot better ever since I started hanging out more with the guys.

But Dally has been kinda shady lately and I don't know why, he doesn't seem like his old self, he's not getting caught by the fuzz anymore, he's been acting nice and really.. excited.
