Johnny angel, you’re an angel to me

Johnny angel, how I love him

He’s got something I can’t resist

But he doesn’t even know that I exist

You had your eyes on Johnny Cade for a while. You’d watch him walk by in the crowded school hall ways. Your heart would flutter every time your eyes would meet in a quick glance that you thought lasted too long to be just a quick stare. You call yourself delusional but deep down you think Johnny might have the same feelings as you do.

You’re sat at your desk in your room trying to get through algebra homework. The frustration is getting to you because you can’t seem to concentrate on anything! Your manicured nails drum against your desk as you tap your pencil on your homework. Of course you waited last minute to do your homework because you were too busy thinking of…

Tap Tap

Your eyebrows furrowed and you leaned back on your desk chair. The sound was coming from the outside of your bedroom window. You quickly grabbed your pencil, just in case it’s some random old creep. You scurried over to your window before opening it up quickly and holding your pencil like it’s a knife.

“Hello?”

You were met with a confused and frightened smile.

“Uh- hi..what’re you doin’ with that pencil?”

You felt heat rise to your face with embarrassment. What were you thinking?

“Oh! This? Just homework. Come in, you’re probably freezing!”

You moved out of the way so Johnny could come in through your window. Your heart fluttered as you met his chocolate eyes…

“Sorry for comin’. My parents were fighting again..I just couldn’t take-”

You smiled softly and shook your head before sitting on the edge of your bed.

“It’s alright Johnny. You’re welcome here anytime.”

You sure meant it. You wish Johnny could stay here all the time. He smiled to himself before looking around your room before sitting down next to you on your bed. You looked over at him as he sat next to you. Your eyes roamed over his face then to the scar that formed from his forehead to his cheek. You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion and you’re pretty sure Johnny noticed your confused expression.

“Some Socs..”

You nodded your head slightly in understanding.

“They did that to you.?”

He nodded his head before glancing away from you.

“Some Soc with rings..him and his buddies just came and…”

You bit the inside of your cheek as you realized he was getting upset. You moved your hand to rest ontop of his.

“It’s alright, Johnny. I think you look like the toughest guy around town.”

His eyes met yours once again. You smiled softly and he did the same.

“Yea?”

“Definitely.”

He grinned and you could feel his eyes roam over your face. Before you knew it his soft lips were on yours. You swear you could’ve heard church bells ringing.

Johnny angel, how I want him

How I tingle when he passes by

Every time he says hello, my heart begins to fly

You, Bri and Jess walked down the cracked pavements of Tulsa. You weren’t paying attention to what they were saying at all your mind was somewhere else - or on someone else. Your heart fluttered as you thought about his eyes..his scars..his lips-

“Hey!”

You were met with Bri’s fingers snapping in your face.

“Did you hear what I said or are you too busy thinking about Johnboy?”

Jess snickered and shook her head.

“No Bri. That’s the other one. She’s thinking about Johnnycakeeee.”

You rolled your eyes trying to suppress a smile.

“No…not my type at all. He’s dirty…greasey…”

Bri grinned and Jess shook her head. They know you like him but you’ll never admit it to them.

“Just how I like em!”

Bri howled and Jess shoved her into you. You laughed and glanced ahead and you were met with two greasers heading down the street. Dallas Winston and Johnny Cade..

Dallas saw you guys and sauntered over with a grin, Johnny followed behind. But he grinned softly when he saw you. Dallas started talking up Bri and you could tell she loved every second of it. Jess just kept quiet eyeing up Dallas.

You met Johnny’s gaze and smiled.

“Hey.”

“Hi Johnnycake.”

He nodded his head and grinned.

“Dal told me there was a party tonight. It’s gonna be pretty tuff, wanna come?”

You could feel your pulse rush and you nodded your head. You couldn’t stop the stupid smile you had on your face.

“Mhm! Of course, can’t miss out on a party.”

He laughed and nodded his head.

“Right. Well I’ll see you there.”

With that he walked away following Dallas. You watched as he walked away and you just want to fly. But then you were met with Bri and Jess crossing their arms and giving you a “we knew it” expression.

“So…who’s going to a party that you magically got invited to by Johnboy?”

Jess and you groaned.

“It’s Johnny!”

You both say in unison.

“It’s just a party, ain’t nothing special. Plus I bet you’re going with Dallas Texas, huh?”

Bri smiled to herself as you purposefully confused Dallas’s name.

“Whatever. But we should give you a makeover.”

You smiled and glanced between Jess and Bri. Tonight could be the night. No. Tonight will be the night you and Johnny will be going steady.

I get carried away

I dream of him and me and how it’s gonna be

Other fellas call me up for a date

But I just sit and wait

You were sat at Jess’s vanity with your hair in rollers. Bri was laying down on the floor skimming through a magazine. Jess was looking through her closet for what you should wear.

“You know, Johnathan better say something tonight. I swear to god he has feelings for you but he’s too big of a baby to say anything!”

You agree with Bri but you haven’t told both of them that Johnny sneaks through your window almost every night, that he tells you everything he wants or hopes for. You never told them that you both lay down in the same bed and share stolen kisses. You haven’t told them that you’re in love with Johnny.

“Oh let it be Bri. John is a nice guy..the most of your worries should be Dallas.”

Bri shook her head before sipping on her coke.

“He’s just mistaken.”

You and Jess just laugh at Bri.

“Sure..mistaken. I guess that’s what you get called after jumping people six years younger than you.”

Bri laughed at your comment and Jess pulled out a black dress. Your eyes lit up as you looked at it.

“That’s so pretty!”

“Oh my god. She has to put that on right now!”

Which you of course did. The black shift dress fit you perfectly. Bri said Johnny would definitely have his attention all on you tonight and you just hope she’s right.

I’d rather concentrate on Johnny angel

‘Cause I love him and I pray that one day he’ll love me

The party’s loud and full of greasers. It’s some barn party where they are usually located. These type of parties are thrown by a couple greasers and word gets out and you’ll get about a thousand people in a smelly old barn. Usually the cops will show up because of underage drinking, drug use, just all the things greasers do.

The drinks were flowing and you stayed with your girls the whole time. You kept glancing around the party trying to find your greaser but you haven’t seen him yet. You guessed Bri and Jess noticed how your head would keep looking around the whole time.

“Hey! Just keep drinking you’ll feel better!”

Bri yelled over the music and you rolled your eyes.

“No! I’m not gonna do that when this whole room is practically filled with men!”

Jess nodded her head but Bri scoffed and passed you a red solo cup.

“Drink up bitch!!!”

Bri howled but her smile dropped when she saw Dallas in the corner of the room with some blond broad.

“That scumbag!”

Bri passed Jess her drink before hurrying over to Dallas. Bri is drunk and she most definitely has the guts to fight but she just can’t. Especially when it’s Dallas.

“You should go get some air. I’ll go keep an eye on Bri.”

Jess smiled reassuringly and you smiled back. You walked outside and felt the cool night breeze. You leaned up against the barn, your head spinning from the loud music and the heavy smell of alcohol.

“There you are.”

Your head perked up and there he was in all his glory. Johnny.

“I thought you didn’t show, got worried.”

You smiled and shook your head.

“Of course I showed. I thought you didn’t.”

“Nah, I just needed some air. Dal went to go talk to Sylvia for a bit and I thought it was best to leave the scene.”

You laughed in agreement.

“Yea, I needed to get away from the party too. Bri’s drunk and ready to fight.”

He laughed and leaned against the wall next to you. You looked up at the night stars and you felt like this should be the time for him to say something. He has to!

“Johnny, do you ever think about us? Like going steady?”

You didn’t even comprehend that you had said something to him. Great. He looked at you and slowly started nodding his head.

“Of course..I mean- as soon as I saw you walk in with that gorgeous smile I knew we had to go steady.”

You raised your eyebrows. Is he trying to be chivalrous? You smiled to yourself and tilted your head.

“Did you learn that from Sodapop?”

“He said it’d work.”

“It sure did.”

He smiled and grabbed your hand.

“Come on, let’s go back. I gotta show everyone I’ve gotten the prettiest girl in Tulsa.”

Your heart fluttered and you both walked back into the party hand in hand. You were met with the sound of loud music, the smell of tobacco but the smiling faces of Jess and Bri. Dallas had his arm over Bri’s shoulders and he grinned at Johnny.

“I knew it! Dallas I told you!”

Bri squealed and Dallas shook his head. You laughed and glanced over at Johnny but he was already looking at you.

“Jess call all the people we know. We’re gonna have us a greaser wedding!”

That’s just how a simple ol’ greaser barn party became one of the most memorable places to you and Johnny.

And together we’ll see

just how Heaven will be

The one that got away…

D Winston x reader

Warnings: angst , death , guns , etc.

“Used to steal your parents liquor and climb to the roof”

“Talk about our future like we had a clue”

You perched yourself up on the top of your roof with that crippling anxiety of falling off in the back of your mind. Dallas was already sitting up there with a bottle of whiskey, that he stole from your parent’s stash in the basement, with that careless grin plastered on his face. You moved a bit closer to him as your eyes scanned the whole neighborhood.

“The west side.”

Dallas murmured under his breath with disgust but it left when his eyes met you.

“Never thought I’d be sitting on some Socs roof without spray paint or a sledge hammer.”

You rolled your eyes and turned your gaze back to him then down to the whiskey bottle.

“Well you are. Plus, you stole my parent’s whiskey out of their basement!”

“Pfft- whatever, man. I would’ve just stolen it at a store anyway. Don’t matter if it’s your daddy’s liquor.”

With that he took a swig out of the whiskey bottle. You grimaced at him, how disgusting you thought. He smirked when he pulled the bottle back from his lips before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

“Take a swig, Doll. Ain’t gonna kill ya.”

You looked at the whiskey bottle that he was shaking in his hand like it was a piece of candy. You hesitated as he told you to drink it. You didn’t want but you took it from his hand, anyway.

“You only live once.”

He smirked and nodded before turning his head to look at that rich neighborhood that he’ll despise til the day he dies.

“Atta girl! Next thing you know you’re gonna be wearing leather jackets and carrying a blade wit’ ya.”

You shook your head and your face looked like you just ate a fresh lemon after you took a swig. You wiped your mouth with the back of your hand before passing the bottle back to Dallas.

“Here, I don’t think I can drink anymore.”

He shrugged his shoulders before snatching the bottle out of your hand and giving the bottle another quick swig. You pulled your knees into your chest as you stared out into the neighbor hood. The clean streets, the polished mustangs, the rich houses, it doesn’t mean anything to you but to people like Dallas..that just means you’re a stuck up baby. You cleared your throat.

“I hope my parents don’t find out about this. You know, sitting up on the roof with a bottle of their whiskey..with a hoodlum.”

He stared at you as you spoke before snorting like this whole thing was a huge joke.

“God, who gives a shit if they find out? What’re they gonna do, huh? Call the fuzz? Ban me from seeing my girl? Pfft- no way.”

You shrugged your shoulders hesitantly.

“Yea but..it was just a ‘what if’. Like..what if they do?”

“Well ain’t nothing gonna stop me from seeing my girl. If they try I ain’t gonna give two shits! No way, man.”

You smiled as you turned your head to look at him and just as expected he was looking right back at you.

“You mean it?”

“You know damn well I meant every word. And so what if they don’t accept us? Shit, I got a brain, I know people and I know places where we can go.”

Dallas isn’t good at expressing his feelings and I guess this was his way of saying “I love you”? But you don’t think he’d ever say that to you, not now or til the day he dies. He’s got a reputation to keep up, remember?

“Never planned that one day I’d be losing you”

“Dallas you can’t be going, you’re already injured your gonna get hurt-”

He was pacing back and forth in your living room before snapping his head back to you.

“Hey! I’m goin’, man, and you can’t tell me shit, you hear? I’m gonna’ fight for Johnny, those boys need me. I don’t care if you like it or not.”

His words stung as he starred daggers into your eyes. This doesn’t feel right, not at all. But before you could respond to his coldness he rushed out of your house..not even with a goodbye.

That’s why now you’re running down your perfect paved streets barefoot, with your breathing frantic. You had gotten a frantic call from Darrel Curtis saying that Dallas is doing something stupid and you need to head to the vacant lot. You tried to be quick as you ran, but you kept stumbling over your own feet. You hurriedly tried to run to the lot as you saw a group of boys running infront of you. You ran past them as you panted trying to get some air in your aching body but what you saw made your breathing stop. Cops…guns..Dallas. Dallas holding a heater at the cops?

Crack

The gun shot rang through the silent night.

Dal’s body tumbled down the hill and fell on the cold, cracked road. The yells and screams from the gang surrounded you. The feeling of the cold air made you feel like you were frozen in place. You were too late, everyone was.

“In another life”

“I’d be your girl”

“We’d keep all our promises”

“Be us against the world”

The crisp new autumn air tugged on your hair as you headed to a place you never thought would. Dally’s grave. You sat down next to him as you looked up at the setting sky. Normally it would never be this quiet between the two of you, but now it’s just one left. All you’re left with are your thoughts or ‘what if’s’. But you knew Dallas would have ended up this way no matter what you did right or wrong. You just wish it didn’t happen so soon.

“In another life”

“I would make you stay”

“So I don’t have to say you were”

“The one that got away”

He’s literally adorbs!! Thank you sm!!💗 😭

Hii!! Congrats on 100 that’s such a huge milestone!! 💗 I would like to request…

Never let me go by Lana Del Rey

(Also one of my favs btw)

My aesthetic: So I love fashion and clothes sm! I always like to be dressed up and I love to wear the shabby chic style. I’m always wearing light colors, lace tanks, but I do sneak a little red in there too! My nails are always French tip, pink or red. I like to curl my hair most of the time but if I’m feeling lazy I’ll just straighten it.

Description: I have blonde hair that I get done. I have blue eyes and a circular face 😒. I have rosacea so my face always look red/pink. I have that short and curvey body type since I’m 5’0. But that’s ok since I learned to love myself! 💗

Personality: I’m very outgoing and I don’t care what people say/think about me. I’m confident and have the mindset of no one should mess with me. I’m probably the loudest person in the room but I do like to keep to myself a lot. I love meeting new people and making new friends. When I do first meet someone I like to make them feel they’ve known me for years even if I met them two seconds ago. I’m definitely a girls girl. I believe in girls bringing girls up instead of brining them down. I’ll always pick my girls over any boy any day.

Hobbies: I love to dance! I do competitive dancing and I also do Kickline! I love to draw and write. I also like to listen/collect vinyl and read books!

Extra: I’m obsessed with Marilyn Monroe. She’s been my muse since I was 5. I like to listen to Lana Del Rey, Rihanna, Madonna, Britney Spears, any oldies. My favorite colors are pink and red! 💗

Thank you sm!! Once again, congrats on 100!! 💕

You Don’t Own Me

D Winston x reader

warnings : Dallas Winston , toxic relationships , suggestiveness , alcohol , etc.

────୨ৎ────

You don’t own me

I’m not just one of your many toys

Dallas Winston is trouble. You’ve known that since you’ve heard about his juvenile record but also because he’s been screwing around town. Well you didn’t know the last part until a few days ago when you’ve heard Betty talking about your boyfriend when she was getting her hair done. Betty just went on and on about the girls Dallas had been screwing behind his “poor old girlfriend’s back”. Let’s just say..you left the salon with your blood boiling. But the best part of this was your so called “boyfriend” was parked outside waiting for you.

You huffed and swung the car door open before sitting down in the passenger seat and slamming the door closed. You crossed your arms over your chest and kept your eyes infront of you, not even wanting to look at the boy next to you.

Dal’s thick eyebrows furrowed and he narrowed his eyes at you.

“What’s up your ass today?”

You huffed out a laugh. Is he serious?

“My ass? What’re you putting up Sarah, Sasha and Sylvia’s ass?”

Dallas scoffed and threw his hands up like you’re crazy.

“What the fuck? You’re fucking crazy, man. You think I’m screwing around?”

“Uh..I don’t think, I know.”

He shook his head and glanced around the car not even wanting to look at you.

“Yeah, yeah. Keep talking bullshit, that’s all I hear from you.”

You scoffed and grabbed the door handle before opening the passenger side door to get out.

“Bullshit? Our whole relationship was bullshit and you know it. Have fun with std’s, asshole!”

You slammed the passenger door closed and walked away from Bucks T-Bird.

You don’t own me

Don’t say I can’t go with other boys

You’re upset about Dallas cheating on you and you went to one of your best friends, but also one of Dal’s buddies. Sodapop Curtis. You always got along with Soda but you also knew if Dallas saw you both together Dallas would want to die from insecurity. When you guys dated you knew Dallas had a huge ego but sometimes when Soda would come around it just seemingly faltered.

“Crazy ol’ Dal. I’m so sorry, he can be a real jerk sometimes.”

“Yeah..I know.”

Soda paused as he looked around the diner before he practically jumped with excitement.

“Hey! I almost forgot but there’s a big party tonight, we should totally go!”

You hesitated but slowly nodded your head. You can manage to have fun without Dallas. You don’t need a scumbag to control you the whole night. So with that you of course agreed.

Once you both finished your milkshakes you headed your separate ways. Soda went back to the DX and you were about to start walking down the cracked sidewalk to go head home. But someone happened to be in the way.

Dallas was leaned against the Diner wall smoking a cancer stick. You glanced away from him as quick as possible and tried to walk away but he must’ve seen you.

“Hey! What the hell?”

You didn’t want to look back but you made the mistake of meeting his narrowed eyes.

“What?”

“What’re you doing with Sodapop?”

You shrugged your shoulders and shifted uncomfortably.

“We were just talking. It’s none of your business, anyway.”

He furrowed his brows and scoffed.

“None of my business? I heard ya both. Going to a party together, slut.”

Your head snapped to meet his gaze and that made him smirk at you.

“So what? Soda is much of a better man than you’ll ever be.”

“Are you serious? Going to a party with Curtis instead of me? You’re making a mistake, Doll.”

“You’re a mistake, the biggest one I ever made.”

Don’t tell me what to do

Don’t tell me what to say

And please, when I go out with you

Don’t put me on display cause you don’t own me

Don’t tie me down cause I’ll never stay

The party is wild and the best decision is going with Soda. You had a couple of drinks and everyone here is drunk, except Soda. Your head is spinning and you feel ditzy. There are a few people from school here but you’ll never find a Soc here, it’s too disgusting for them.

You’re enjoying yourself in the burning ecstasy of the alcohol burning your throat. But your happiness is washed away when you’re met with those devilish eyes of Dallas. You scoffed out loud, not afraid to show your annoyance. He saunters over to you with a beer in hand. He reeks of rum and tobacco. Gross.

“Hey sweetheart.”

“Hi.”

He grins down at you and sways back and forth. He’s disgustingly drunk. He puts his hands on your hips, his thumbs rubbing circles into your hips. He leans his mouth close to your ear.

“God..you look so good tonight. We should go somewhere a little private.”

He slides his hand down your hip and to your upper thigh. You gasp and swat his hand away.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?”

“Come on, I’ll make it up to you. I’m sorry, Doll. Daddy will make you feel better in a few minutes if you stop being a brat.”

You shake your head and push him off yourself.

“Get off of me! I wish I’ve never laid eyes on you!”

You hurriedly left Dallas and went searching for Sodapop to take you home.

I don’t tell you what to say

I don’t tell you what to do

So just let me be myself that’s all I ask of you

It’s been a month since the party and you can’t help but feel so much happier without Dallas brining you down. You were so sick of being dragged down, being compared to his ex. You were so sick of being told you were never enough for someone who didn’t even deserve you! Everything seems brighter now and you can’t have it any other way. Now you can say “I survived Dallas Winston.”

I’m young, and I love to be young

I’m free, and I love to be free

To live my life the way I want

To say and do whatever I please
