Steve's P.O.V.

I was about to go into Katherine's room. She didn't remember everything in the past month, which, means she doesn't remember our date. That thought broke me, so I was gonna tell her how I really felt. I was so excited, yet so nervous at the same time.

The door to Katherine's room was slightly open, as I approached the door, I saw something I wish I never did... 

Soda and Katherine were making out. 

To say I was angry, was an understatement. I wasn't mad at Katherine; its not her fault. She doesn't remember we had a thing, if  we even had a thing. But still, why Soda. Hes being a man whore right now. I was angry at Soda to say the least, he was my best friend and he knew I liked Katherine, and he still  did that. What a bastard.

I was frozen, I couldn't move, I didn't know what to say or do. I felt tears well up in my eyes. There wasn't enough words to describe all the emotions I felt, so I just turned around and ran out the door. 

As I was leaving the hospital, I felt eyes on me, and I knew it was the gang - whoever was still here anyways - looking at me trying to figure out what was going on and why I was crying.

***********

I was walking around town not really paying attention to where I was going. All I could think about was Sodapop and Katherine making out, even when Soda knew I liked her. 


Pony's P.O.V.

Steve walked up to Katherine's door and peeked inside, when he froze, as if he saw a ghost. I was confused when he turned around, he was...crying? What could he have seen that made him cry? I know Steve, he is one tuff guy and I've never seen him cry.

All of a sudden, he stormed out of the hospital with nothing to say. 

Me, Two-Bit, and Johnny all exchanged confused glances. "Whats wrong with him?" Two-Bit said laughing. 

I had a strange feeling it was something to do with Sodapop and Katherine. So with out hesitation I got up and walked over to Katherine's room. Now I ain't a big fan a Steve but hes my buddy, so I decided to go check it out. 

I peeked in the door, and I saw Soda - almost on top of Katherine- and Katherine...making out. Steve told the gang, except for Two-Bit, that he liked Katherine, and I'm sure out of all people Soda would know. 

To say the least, I was disappointed in Soda, he was Steve's best friend since grade school and he betrayed him.

"Soda?" I asked. "Get off of her. What're you doing?" I continued. Soda jumped away from Katherine. Who knows how long they've been making out. 

"Oh, uhh- hey Pony, uhh, boy!" Soda said as if they weren't just sucking each others faces off. 

"Soda, can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked.

"Umm sure?" He got up and walked over to the door. Once he was close enough I yanked him outside of the hospital. 

It was dark outside, the sun must've just set and the cool air was refreshing. 

"What were you doing in there?" I asked.

"Well I-" He started but I cut him off. 

"Now you know I'm not a big fan of Steve, but you and I both know he liked her."

"Your point is?" He asked confused.

"First of all, you knew Steve liked her and yet you still went and kissed her? Second of all, when he was about to go and talk to her, he looked into the room and saw you two sucking each others damn faces off. I don't think I've ever seen him more upset." I felt bad for Steve, as much as we had our differences, and weren't the best of friends, like I said, he was my buddy and buddies stick up for each other.

Pure and utter guilt came over Soda's face, he sighed. "I-I know it was wrong of me to do that, but-but I-I couldn't resist. And-nd how come your sticking up for Steve all of the sudden?" he stuttered through the whole sentence, he must've felt real guilty because he never stutters.

"Listen don't try to turn things on me, Steve ran out and we don't know where he went. So the next time you see him, you should probably apologize to him." I said. 

"Yeah I guess I should apologize to him. Do you know where he might've went?" He asked. "No." I replied bluntly and I went back inside to Johnny and Two-Bit.


Katherine's P.O.V.

Me and Soda had been making out. It felt good, until Ponyboy came in, "Soda? Get off her. What're you doing?" He sounded confused and shocked  at the same time when he said that. Soda got startled and jumped away from me. 

"Oh, uhh- hey Pony, uhh, boy!" Soda said as if nothing just happened between us. 

"Soda, can talk to you for a sec?" Pony asked.

"Uhh sure?" He got up and walked over the to the door. Once he was close enough Pony yanked him outside my room and I would only assume he brought him outside of the hospital. 

I wonder what Pony needed to talk to Soda about. 

Just then, Johnny came in. "Hey, what happened? Why was Steve crying?" Johnny asked.

"What? He was crying? I didn't know?" I said.

"Well, when he came into the room, he saw something that made him run off. What happened in here?" Johnny said.

"Well, I don't know. Soda kinda just...put his tongue down my throat?" I was quite confused on what happened so I didn't know how to answer the question myself.

"You know," Johnny started, "Steve really liked you, and before you got hit by that car, you guys went on a date."

"We did?" I asked. He nodded his head 'Yes'.

"Are you sure?" I asked. 

"Positive."

I didn't know if I should believe Johnny or not. I mean yeah, hes my best friend, but was he saying this to make me feel guilty about kissing Sodapop? I didn't know what to think, do, or who to believe. 

"Johnny, can you please leave, I need to be alone right now." I said. I kinda felt like a bitch for just straight up telling him to leave, but I needed time to think. 

"Okay, I'll see you later then." He said politely and walked out the door.

I then remembered the card Johnny gave me, I still didn't read it. I reached over onto the small table beside my bed and grabbed the card. It was a light blue card with gold glitter. It was small and I could tell he made it from scratch. Inside it, it read;

Dear Katherine,

I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time, but I used to like you. And I still kinda do. I was gonna tell you this sooner, but I saw how you and Steve hit it off at the drive in and I didn't want to get in the way of your relationship. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you this in person, I was too afraid to. I hope this doesn't effect our friendship. 

Get better soon, we are all worried about you.

Your buddy, Johnny


Johnny, liked me? Eww. 

I don't see Johnny as anything more than a friend.
