I found Love, in Another Time? (Outsiders FF)

Pony and I

The kiss was the only way for me to calm down. But, what if that's all it was for him? Nothing more? He pulled away and looked into my eyes, before pulling me into a hug. All that was going through my mind, was the kiss. I can't believe he kissed me! It felt like a dream come true. But, the other thoughts that surrounded my head, were really killing my mood. I wanted to ask him about the kiss, but I didn't want to break the hug. I wanted to stay in his arms forever, but that's only a dream. Never, had I ever, thought that he would kiss me. I mean, a month ago, or so, I didn't even know that guy. Was it fate that I was transported back to the past, to be with him?

"I think the storm's over" Pony said, breaking through my thoughts. I looked up at him, only to find him looking down at me. I wanted to say something, but my words got caught in my throat. It was just impossible. I couldn't. "Mary, are you okay?"

"Y-yea" I replied. He pulled away, and stood up.

"We should really get going" he said. I also stood up, and nodded. We started for the stairs, with only the small light from the flashlight guiding our way. It was quiet between us. Neither of us said a single word. What was there to talk about? I figured that since we already kissed, he would of asked me out by now. Maybe he did only do it to calm me down. And maybe it really wasn't anything more to him, than just what it looked like. 

"Pony" I said. He looked back at me, and I instantly became nervous. "T-thanks for... calming me down back there. It really did help." I looked away from him, not wanting to make eye contact. For some reason, I was embarrassed, or was I nervous? I couldn't figure it out, but I wanted to got hide in a hole and not come out.

"Your welcome" he replied softly. It was getting quiet again. He said nothing more, making me doubt that he ever felt the some way. If he did, he would of told me by now, but at last, he said nothing. It's what I need to get the idea that I just need to move on. To wake up from the dream of ever being called 'Pony's girl'. I need to place my feet on the ground, the cold hard ground, and face reality. If this is how it's going to be, then I just have to accept it. "Uh, Mary?"

"Hmm?" I turned to him, my full attention on him. To me, it looked like he was searching for the right words to say. I wanted to tell him what was on my mind, but I held back. How can I tell him? He'll probably think I'm... I don't know, strange?

"I didn't know you were scared of Tornadoes" he finally said. I turned my gaze back to the ground. Just as I suspected, not a single thing about what happened not so long ago. Not even close. I sighed.

"Yea" I replied. I was anxious to get to the house, and away from Pony. I just can't stand being this close to him anymore. I know I should be happy that I'm at least around him, but for some reason, I've grown sick of that. I want him to hug me, to hold me close and never let me go. I want to hear the words "I love you, Mary", come out of his mouth. But, it won't. None of that will never happen. I should of known that it would be just like this. No guy has ever liked me before, never. So, how is Pony different from the guys I've had crushes on? I don't think he likes me back, so why even try anymore? I'm just wasting my time. Chances are, it will never happen. But, if he says anything to me before it get's dark, I will regret ever thinking he didn't like me. I'll regret everything that's been circulating my mind.

"Mary!" I looked up, just in time before Soda engulfed me in a hug. I stumbled back, but was able to get my balance.

"Hey Soda" I greeted. He hugged me tighter, making me gasp.

"I thought I lost you" he said. I smiled.

"I'm alright" I replied. He pulled back and looked at me, studying me closely. "What are you doing?"

"Checking to see if you're really okay" he said. I cracked a smile, about the same time as Soda did. He swung an arm around my, and led me inside the house. For the first time through out the whole walk over here, I looked around. It looked completely normal on this side of the town. Maybe it was the Soc side of town that got  destroyed. I sighed and plopped down on the couch.

"Pony, are you alright?" Darry walked into the living room, worried and happy to see us.

"Yea, I'm okay" Pony replied, suddenly appearing next to the couch.

"Where the hell were you?" Darry asked, sounding stern. Pony looked at me for a moment, then turned to his big brother.

"I was showing Mary the high school" Pony stated. I felt embarrassed, Pony's getting in trouble, because of me.

"Well, I'm just glad your okay" Darry said, surprising me a bit. And from the look on Pony's face, I could tell he was also surprised. He looked over at me, and I just shrugged. Darry went into the kitchen, leaving me, Pony, and Soda here in the living room.

"Well, first time Darry hasn't hollarded at ya" Soda pointed out. I nodded in agreement. Pony sighed and sat on the other couch.

"Hey, where's the gang?"

"They're probably at home, hiding from the storm, I don't know" Soda responded.
