I saw her from across the room. The famous (Y/N) (Y/L/N); actress and model.
She was gorgeous, in that long black gown, (your hair color) hair curled, eyes sparkling. Her smile lighting up the whole room.
Me, Johnny, and Two-Bit had booked out of Tulsa for the Holidays, heading for my hometown of New York City, just to see how things were going up there.
And me, being the pro I am, got us into a big New Years Eve gala downtown at the Plaza.
And I decided I was going to dance with (Y/N).
I thought I looked nice enough; I was wearing a tux I stole from some guy, and my hair was back all fancy like.
So walked over to her, and asked if she’d like to dance.
She had this weird look on her face, like she was surprised.
But then she smiled. “Sure.”
I took her hand and led her out to the ballroom floor.
We danced for awhile, talking about our lives and stuff. For a movie star, she was pretty normal.
I hadn’t even noticed we had danced through at least ten songs, when the clock struck midnight.
“Well, I missed my chance of kissing someone at midnight.” I said as the clock rang.
“No,” she grinned.
She got on her tiptoes, and kissed me on the lips.
And the fireworks flew.
No joke.
There was actual fireworks.

You aren’t exactly sure what you’re humming to… But it’s something.
“Hey, (Y/N), have you seen my-” “THUD!” You rip open the shower curtain to see your boyfriend had tripped over the doorway.
“Oh my god, Two-Bit, are you ok?!?” You gasp.
He looks up at you. “Oh my god you’re in the shower!” He yells.
You yank the curtain back, covering yourself up.
“Two-Bit, are you ok honey?”you ask.
“After seeing that I’m not.” He says. “Damn, your beautiful.” He says, blushing.
“What a pig.” You laugh.
“(Y/N), please stay out of this.” Darry says, eyes still locked on his younger brother.
“She has a point.” Ponyboy snorts.
“Don’t use that tone with me, young man.” Darry says, voice raised.
“Who went and made you dad?” Ponyboy asked, shrugging his shoulders.
“You take that back.” Darry says, lunging for Ponyboy.
They start beating up on each other, nothing serious. Brothers will be brothers.
“Hey! Knock it off!” You say, trying to separate them on the ground.
Smack!
You fall back, the hit getting you hard.
The boys freeze, realizing they’ve hit you.
“Ow!” You say. “That was my boob!”
They burst out laughing.
“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” You say as you remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s more like an egg.” You say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, you need to get out of there.” You say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. Or me. I just don’t like seeing you hurt.” You whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.
“What?” He asks, glancing over at you.
“You’re gonna get pulled over,” you say, rolling your eyes.
“Do you think I’d care?” He laughed.
“Dallas Winston, I am shocked and appalled you just said that to me and ran that red light.” You laugh. “I’m horrified at your driving skills. Remind me not to get into a car with you again.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Light cracked the sky open. The crash that followed jolted you awake. You sit up in your bed, wide eyed with fear.
You had been afraid of thunderstorms since you were little… something about it just frightened you to no end.
The sound of your boyfriend breathing calmed you down. The rhythmic deep breathing soothed you, only for a second.
Another crack lit up the sky, with a giant boom that followed.
“Dally.” you shake your boyfriend awake.
“Babe… what’s the ma-” He stops as he sees your eyes, wide with fear. He sits up straight and wraps his arms around you pulling you close. “You’re fine… You’re fine.” He whispers, rocking you back and forth. “I got you. I promise. I got you.” Hands running through your hair.
“I just don’t like them.” You mumble into his bare chest.
“I know. I know.” He say. “But I still got you. I promise.”
But you were already asleep again.
