"THE SECRET"! **COMPLETED**

Chapter 19- One phrase

I felt sadness rushing over me as I stepped out if the elevator. I went to the market to get some food for the way. I saw a public phone and was tempted to call Two-bit to come get me. Instead I overheard someone say " Train 56a leaves tonight at 8 for Tulsa, Oklahoma." I bought the food and a backpack. I shoved the food into the backpack and ran for the train station. I arrived at 7:00 so I looked around. At 7:30 I jumped into the train. I relaxed in one of the corners. The train started up and I ate. I fell asleep.

I woke up when the train stopped. I hopped off and started walking to the old highschool. I arrived at the school. I got in my car and drove to the nearest bar, Bucks. I got a beer and sat outside on the hood of my car. I felt smoke getting blown on my neck. I turned around swiftly, I saw Dally. "Oh Dally, thank goodness I found you. John he kept touching me and Sheppards gang just laughed." He went pale " What the hell. You let that frickin Wimp touch you"? I wanted to break down and sob right there, I wanted to tell Dally, I need you to protect me please. Instead I stubbornly stood up " He is actually really strong Dal. He grabbed my waist and held me down". He grabbed my beer " See this is what I don't understand. You are so frickin tough when you talk about it. But if we don't feel pain for you, you get upset". My bottom lip quivered and I admitted " It hurts Dal. I wanna cry about it. But like no one understands me. I bounce from gang to gang cause I am so picky"! He held the cigarette towards me and I took a puff. " See doll. Why can't you be honest like this"? I handed the cigarette back " Because if I admit the truth it hurts. Lies don't." He silently sat on the hood "You make my head hurt. And before I use to hate it because it made me think but now I like thinking." I snickered " I make you think. No you literally make me think about every mangy choice when i'm with you, its so ann-" I was cut off by Dally pressing his lips agianst mine. I was suprised at first but then I kissed him back. He smiled " Did that make you think". I nodded " Yeah at first you were kinda yelling at me and then we kissed. And you know the worst part, I liked it." He laughed " You have to explain everything, don't you"? Instead of answering I kissed him. He pulled me closer to him when I kissed him. That moment made me feel safe. That neither Bob nor John would hurt me. His fingers ran through my hair when we kissed. I then drank my beer. He grabbed it outta my hand " You aint gonna share"? I was kind of day dreaming and said " Didn't you taste it in my mouth"? I felt like an idiot right after I said that. He handed me back the beer " No, I didn't let me see if I can this time". We kissed again. I was smiling to myself in my head. It is funny how one phrase can make someone kiss you.
