Are ya'll ready to actually meet Delilah and see what she's like? I'm ready to introduce her!!!

Delilah's P.O.V.

"Steve!" I yell as I walk into the DX, but I immediately hide when I release he's fighting with Evie, I got to hear this! Okay, I might be a little bit of an ease-dropper, but not much.

"Steve please," Evie begs.

"Save it Evie!" He screams.

"No I swear I over-heard some girls talking about her," Evie insists. Who? What girl?

"Delilah..." me? "...is my best friend and I don't care what some catty bitches have to say about her!" Steve fires back. Yeah you go Stevie!

"I swear she's-" Evie starts.

"STOP!" Steve snaps. "Why are you so obsessed with what Del does? Why are you so jealous?"

"Del?" Evie asks. "You gave her a nickname!"

"Yes, I gave her a nickname," I peep my head out to see Steve rolling his eyes. "We've been best friends since we were little!"

"Steve she has a crush on you!" She blurts out.

"No, she doesn't. She likes somebody else," he informs her ."Even if she did like me I wouldn't care, she's my best friend not some chick I just met!"

"She's a bitch!" Evie lashes out.

"And you're not," Steve speaks lowly. Ooooh burn!

"Whatever Steve," Evie storms out of the shop.

Steve walks around the corner looking down at me, "you can come out now Del."

"What?" I chuckle. "How'd you find me?"

He looks at me with that, 'are you really asking' face before he reminds me, "I've only been your best friend since you we were eight."

"What did she tell you?" I ask insecurely.

"She told me that you were a thief," he rolls his eyes as mine go big. How'd they find out? "What's wrong?"

"That's so ridiculous," I sigh.

He hugs me tightly, "it doesn't matter Del, I know it's not true."

"And if it was?" I ask him.

"I'd have to turn you in," he speaks then starts laughing making me nervously chuckle.

"Yea," I continue to laugh nervously.

Two-bit comes running into the store, "Delilah!"

I spin around to look at Two-bit, "what's wrong?"

"It's Dallas," he pants.

"What happened?" I ask growing nervous.

"He got hit by a car," Two informs me.

"Oh my god!" I squeal as I turn to Steve. "Can you drive me to the..."

"Hospital," Two-bit fills in the blank.

"To the hospital?" I ask.

He pokes his head into the room Soda's in, "Soda I gotta take Delilah to the hospital. Two-bit will cover my shift."

"Is she okay?" I hear Soda's voice.

"Yeah, but Dally isn't," Steve sighs.

Soda comes rushing out with Ponyboy and Johnny, "these two can man the counter and we'll fix cars tonight, over-time. Lets go!"

Daisy's P.O.V.

"Charlie?" I speak up.

She looks down at me, "what's up kiddo?"

"Is he gonna be okay?" I ask through my tears.

She pulls me into a hug, "I don't know kid, I don't know."

"Are you guys...." I start.

She shrugs, "I'm not sure...I think so."

"If he's not okay are Del and I gonna get sent away?" I ask her.

"I'm afraid so," she pulls me into a tight hug as I sob loudly.

"I can't leave Tulsa! This is my home," I admit.

"Daise-maize!" I hear Soda's loving voice.

"Is that him?" Charlie whispers in my ear.

"Yes," I say as I stand up and walk over to Sodapop.

He wraps his strong arms around my small body, "how is he? How ya holdin' up?"

"I could be taken away," I sob into his chest.

I feel a reassuring hand on my back. I turn around to see Delilah, "it's okay Daisy, Dally'll be okay, he's strong."

"Daisy, can I talk to you?" Soda asks.

I nod my head and grab his hand as he leads me into a back room in the hospital, "what's wrong?"

Soda takes a deep breathe before speaking, "it's something Dallas told me a while ago."

"What is it?" I ask growing concerned. "Sodapop!"

He takes a few breathes before he continues, "you have a different father than Dallas."

I look around the room not making eye contact, "what? How? When?"

"You guys got raised by the same father, but he wasn't your real father. Your guys mother cheated on Dally's father. The night Dally found out that the man abusing the three of you had no right even being around you two, he took you guys out of the house," Soda explains. "You guys are his sister, but biologically you're only half his and he's only half yours.

I storm away from Sodapop, "I need a second."

Delilah's P.O.V.

I ease drop over the conversation with Sodapop and Daisy finding out that Dally isn't really out brother. I sit back down in the waiting room processing everything as growing angry. A nurse comes out, "all for Dallas Winston."

I stand up and look at everybody who are also standing up, "may I have a moment alone with him?"

"Of course," they all respond sitting back down.

I walk down the hall until I find Dally's room. I barge into the room to find Dally annoying a nurse, "get out! Just get out! You're making me sick to my stomach." The nurse scoffs as she walks out and Dally looks over to me smirking, "hey Del."

"Why didn't you tell Daisy and I?" I ask him angrily. 

"Tell you two what?" He asks acting confused.

"Don't act like you don't know!" I scream. "Why didn't you tell us we aren't your real sisters?"

"Because you guys are," he insists.

"Stop lying to me! I know you know that we don't share the same father and that you know we're only your half sister!" I lash out at him.

"Delilah stop it now!" He commands.

"No! You're not my dad! Heck you're not even my real brother. You can't tell me what I can and can not do!" I remind him.

"You're telling me I'm not your real brother, I've raised you since you were a baby! Who do you think was feeding you when our father was stoned on the side of the road or when our mother was getting beat by our father or when she was in so much pain she couldn't move? Who did you crawl into bed with after you had a bad dream then told all about it in the morning and they comforted you? Who do you think took care of you after my father who lived with us beat you? Who do you think took care of you when you got sick? Me! It was always me! So excuse me for thinking I am your full brother!" He screams at me angrily.

"Well you're not and I want nothing to do with you," I speak slowly. "You lied to me all my life."

"You really think I was lying to you every time I told you I was your brother? I thought I was your real brother! It didn't feel like a lie!" He yells after me as I walk out of the room flipping him off. I don't care about him anymore. He's lied to me my whole life.

Dally's P.O.V

After screaming at an annoying nurse I look over to see Delilah walking into my room,"hey Del."

"Why didn't you tell Daisy and I?" She asks me angrily.

"Tell you two what?"I ask confused. What is she talking about?

"Don't act like you don't know! Why didn't you tell us we aren't your real sisters?" She screams. Oh my god. How did she find out I'm only her half brother? I only ever told Sodapop in a drunken haze and he swore never to tell.

"Because you guys are," I insist, knowing in my heart they are my real sisters. I'm sure she'll feel the same way, I am the one who took care of her.

"Stop lying to me! I know you know that we don't share the same father and that you know we're only your half sister!"She snaps.

"Delilah stop it now!" I command not being able to take it anymore.

"No! You're not my dad! Heck you're not even my real brother. You can't tell me what I can and can not do!" She has to hold it against me.

This is where I snap and I don't even feel bad, she had it coming,"you're telling me I'm not your real brother, I've raised you since you were a baby! Who do you think was feeding you when our father was stoned on the side of the road or when our mother was was getting beat so bad or when she was in so much pain she couldn't move? Who did you crawl into bed with after you had a bad dream then told all about it in the morning and they comforted you? Who do you think took care of you after my father who lived with us beat you? Who do you think took care of you when you were sick? Me! It was always me! So excuse me for thinking I am your full brother!"

"Well you're not and I want nothing to do with you," she speaks slowly. "You lied to me all my life."

"You really think I was lying to you every time I told you I was your brother? I thought I was your real brother! It didn't feel like a lie!"I yell after her hoping she'll come back, but she just walks out of the room flipping me off.

A few minutes later Daisy comes in and I can only hope she doesn't know, "hey Dally, can I talk to you?"

"Sure Daisy," I smile and move over patting the spot next to me. "Come sit down."

She smiles her heart warming smile as she sits next to me cuddling up to me, "I love you so much Dally."

"I love you too kiddo," I wrap my arm around her. Thank god she doesn't know.

"Why did you take the hit for me?" She asks me softly looking up into my eyes.

"Because I love you and I'd do anything for you," I admit. "That goes for Delilah too even when she's in one of her moods."

She lets out a small chuckle, "Dally do we really have different dads?"

I guess she does know, but she doesn't seem nearly as angry as Delilah did and they are two totally different people, "it's true. Our mother cheated on our father and out came you two. I'm kind of happy she did though because, I have the two best sisters in the world. Del is a little bit upset, but she'll get over herself." I hope.

"Why did you never tell us we have different dads?" She asks, but she said "different dads" not that we aren't "real" sibling like Delilah did.

"I was afraid you guys would look at me different, like I wasn't your real brother or-" I start, but Daisy cuts me off.

"That's ridiculous!" She snaps. "Of course you're our real brother. I mean you're the one who raised us!"

I hug her tightly, "I love you Daisy."

"I love you too Dally," she smiles. "Oh yea and don't worry about it, Delilah and I know you're our real brother. We would never look at you any different. We love you Dally."

"I'm afraid Del is pretty mad at the whole fact and told me that I'm not her real brother and that I lied to her your guys whole lives," I sigh. "I didn't lie you guys though, it feels like I'm your guys real brother."

"Well you weren't lying to us," she cuddles up to me, she's always been like this. "Del is just upset about the whole thing, at first I was too. I had to wait until I calmed down to see you."

"Well that's the main difference between the two of you," I snicker. "You're logical and rational. She's emotional, passionate, and irrational."

She laughs a little, "it's okay Dally, she'll come to her senses."

"She always does," I smile.

"Everything will be back to normal in no time," she yawns.

"You can go to sleep if you want Daisy," I inform fixing the covers so they're also her. As she falls asleep she clings to my side like a scarred little girl, but she's been doing this since she was little.

Okay, shockingly I got another chapter in. This is a huge chapter. The next chapter a HUGE event happens. This is just the start and you finally get to meet Delilah and see the type of person she is. Do you like Delilah? What are your thoughts on her character? Her and Daisy and really different. Stay gold. Do it for Johnny!
