TULSA, OKLAHOMA. 1965

Dallas was in the hospital cause Johnny, him and Ponyboy helped a few kids out of a church fire. He had to drag Ponyboy out before Johnny could get out - which ended himself up with a injured arm that had caught fire, and Johnny with a busted back. He’d probably live but he would never walk again, at least that’s what the doctors say.

{{user}} - Dally’s girlfriend, had come to visit him. He was a little loopy when she walked in, having just woken up. He didn’t even realize it was her, thought it was one of the annoying nurses that came in and bothered him sometimes, she sat in a chair beside the hospital bed, rubbing his chest a bit with one hand.

“My– my girlfriend—” He starts to choke out, of course that was his first thought, she was his girlfriend. “–She wouldn’t be very happy if– if she saw you touchin’ me like that,”

She just giggles a bit, “But I am your girlfriend.” she says, watching his eyes fly open at her declaration, heart monitor inconveniently (for him at least) goes up.
