Your POV

I stepped into the library and searched the room for Lucas but I didn't see him.

"He's in the back"Ms. Bozzney shouted from her office, she must've seen me looking around. I walked towards the back and there he was organizing the books into the shelfs. I knocked on the shelf and his head swung to me. He looked surprised at first but he quickly looked away and continued organizing the books. I walked over to him and helped him out in a comfortable silence.

"Troy Donahue is ugly"I said. He dropped the book and covered his mouth. I knew he would flip if ever heard me say that.

"You did not just say that! Troy Donahue is HOT! And he is my bae so don't mess around with me!"he shouted. I started to laugh hysterically. That's when he noticed I was only teasing him.

"You had to be Two-bit's sister"he said

"Sorry, I just thought I could get you to talk to me"i said

"What for?"he let out a sigh.

"You know what for" I replied

"Ponyboy was right, I didn't do enough"he said

"No he's wrong, I was the one who stole the beers, I was the one who took us to that place, I voluntarily drank that beer, you tried to stop me but I didn't let you, all of this is my fault, not yours! You called Darry and that's enough for me. If you wouldn't have called Darry who knows where I'd be now, so thank you Lucas, thanks for helping me"I said. He smiled and hugged me.

"Does that mean we're good now?"I asked

"We will be when you buy me a box donuts from the store hmmm... I'd say about 2 blocks away?"he said

"Will do"i giggled

"Are we still going to the dance?"Lucas asked

"Oh yeah"I said

"Good"he stated

"Well I gotta get going home, I'll see you at school tomorrow and be prepared for the dance"I said

"Don't forget to stop by the store for the donuts" he shouted

"I'll bring them to you tomorrow, I promise" I yelled back and exited the library. I stopped by the donut store as Lucas wished. As I walked around I saw a beautiful dress through the window of a store. I know I don't have the money to buy it so I didn't get my hopes up. I finally got home and opened the door when I saw a huge mess of dresses and jewelry.

"What is going on hear"I said

"Well I heard there is a dance at your school, so I'm just doing you a small favor"My mom said rushing out of the bathroom with a bag full of makeup supplies. She examined the dresses and picked a puffy pink dress.

"Try this one on,"she said, handing me the dress.

"I think this hairstyle would look good on you"she said, keep blabbing about a dress or what i would wear or whatever, but I couldn't hold it in any longer.

"STOP, just stop"I shouted

"Why wh-what's wrong"she said

"You! This! Us! I don't understand why you are acting like this."
"Like what? What do you mean?"she asked

"All of a sudden you start to cook breakfast for us and you're being so nice, you don't start fights with me any more and you're even trying to help me with the dance. Is there something you want from me? I'm not a toy to play with. I wish everyone would see that. Why are you doing this?"i cried

"Because because I'm your mother"she said

"Then why didn't act like it when I needed you the most"i said

"Y/n, your father left and I couldn-"

"Stop using that as an excuse! I've seen kids being abandoned by their dad's but the mom is always there for them, never let them down. I just wanted you to love me"

"I do love you!"she yelled

"Then prove it!" i shouted

"Y/n, I- I- I'm sorry. Last week I bumped into one of my old friends, Dina. Dina's married to Richard. She told me how she and Richard have been trying to have kids but they can't. They even had a miscarage once. Dina and Richard are the most purest people I had ever met, they would be amazing parents. I know that for sure. The most wonderful couple who deserve to have children couldn't have any. That made me realize that I'm no mother. I treated both of you so wrong. You were just a child who had no fault in anything. But I want to change. For you and for Keith! I love you so much. I hope you could ever forgive me" she started to cry and I felt so guilty. She's been trying to change and I judged her. I walked to her and hugged her, she wrapped her arms around me and sobbed on my shoulder. I patted her back lightly.

"I forgive you"i said

"Really" she looked up

"Mhm" i said

"But I don't think this dress would be great on me" i said

"I can see that now"she giggled.
