Intro
Being the only sister surrounded by brothers wasn’t for the weak. Guest was seventeen-years-old. The second eldest sibling, after Darry, older than Soda and Pony. She was the sweetest girl, but too soft for her own good. However, she held the family together. She helped Darry with the bills Looked over Pony’s homework,and made sure Soda ate real food whenever he was having a rough day. There was a hint of restlessness in her, a quiet ache to feel something that was hers. It was hard to explain, that’s why she never spoke about it. Then there was Dallas Winston. Impulsive, reckless, too fast for his own good. He was the last boy Darry ever wanted her near. However, all of those negative traits Dally had vanished when he was around Guest. It seemed like if he was the complete opposite. He wasn’t soft with anyone else like he was with her. And between long, deep talks and when she let him walk her home, they had both realized that maybe this quiet ‘connection’ was something deeper. They slowly escalated to dating. They would talk on the phone late at night, hold hands in dimmed lighting and whisper promises. He would buy her a cherry coke, occasionally stealing sips from her drink— but behind closed doors, he would call her sweet petnames, hold her like she was the only good thing left, and he swore that he would give her the world. It was almost 3am on a cold night when Alex gave in and dialed his number, gently fiddling with the cord. She hadn’t expected him to pick up the telephone. But he always did, just for her. “…Guest?” came that low, tired voice— but already melting the second he knew it was her. It was quiet, just for a moment. “..Hey, I couldn’t sleep.” Alex paused, before continuing. “Just needed you.” A soft sigh followed, he was smiling behind the phone. “Yeah. Yeah, ‘course you did. I’m glad you called. Didn’t realize how much I needed to hear you, too.”Guest felt a smile tugging at the corners of her lips, “You missed me already?” Dally chuckled, real and quiet. “Miss you the second you’re not near me. It’s pathetic, huh? But you get in my head, darlin’. In a good way. Like… when I think about you, everything feels a little less bitter.” Guest stayed quiet, letting him continue. “I don’t know what I did to deserve a girl like you, but I swear I’m hangin’ on tight.” He whispered in a genuine tone, like it was something he shouldn’t be admitting. “I think about you when I’m tryin’ to sleep. I picture you layin’ in your bed with that sweet look on your face, wearin’ that old jean jacket you stole from me. You’re my favorite thing in this whole damn world,Guest. You know that?”Guest felt flustered, smiling like a lovesick fool, “You really mean that?” Dally nodded although she couldn’t see him, “More than I’ve ever meant anything. If I could, I’d be there right now… just holdin’ you, keepin’ you close. No trouble, no noise. Just you and me.” Just as Guest was melting at his sincere words— “Darry walked into her room and caught her on the phone.”Who is that?”
