• Sodapops POV •

"Soda, you ought to get fired if you don't come back to work."

I groaned. "I still don't feel good." I mumbled. "No you're just mourning. Get up, get ready. Staying in bed is gonna make it worse." Said Darry.

And again I groaned but obeyed.

"Well lookie here. The mourning man finally came to his senses to get out of bed." Said Dallas.

"Shut up Dally." I said, walking slowly to the shower. "It's gonna be a great day, Soda!" He shouted. I roll my eyes and turned on the shower

After my shower, Steve came.

"Sodapop! You're up for work!" Steve said, putting me in headlock.

I nudged him off. "Whoa, calm down. It'll be a good day today. I promise." He said, putting his arm over my shoulder.

"Why does everyone keep saying that? Nothing's gonna happen today!" I shouted. "Hey, you never know what happens. C'mon, we don't wanna be late."

"What do you mean, you've done so much in this relationship? You've done nothing. You kept chasing me and when you got me, you didn't know what to do. I let you in my life, I gave you a chance." She yelled

"Now all you do is make me feel like a trophy, showing me off to your friends like I'm worth so much but not caring about me when all I ask for is attention and love."

"And so what are you gonna do? Break up with me? Leave me, mourning and hurting inside? You hate hurting people, I know that!" I shouted.

"Yes!" She shouted back. "Yes, I will leave you! I couldn't give a damn anymore, Soda. I am so tired of being your reward. I am more than that and I'm not gonna let someone have me as their prize."

I froze, all the blood boiling inside me cooled down and I felt broken somehow.

"Oh c'mon baby, you're not gonna do that." I said, trying to hug her but she pushed me away.

"Get off me." She pushed me, a little harder than I did, making me go back slightly.

She started to cry more and more.

"I'm sorry." She cried into my chest. I hugged her as she wipes her tears on my shirt.

"But, I'm gonna have to leave you." She mumbled. "It's for the best. You'll find someone who'll you really love. I will too."

I stood there, not knowing what to say.

"Goodbye Soda." She then left my house.

"Earth to Sodapop Curtis!"

I snapped back to reality, shaking my head. "Ah, yeah. Sorry. What?"

"You okay? You look really down." He asked. I sighed, "Who am I kidding? I miss her." I said, laying both my arms on the counter, overlapping them.

"Clearly. It's what it is. Maybe she was right. Maybe, you guys weren't meant to be." Said Steve.

"Well then why do I miss her so much and still love her? When really, I did like the fact of chasing her but now all I want is her." I said.

"Maybe you're just still in that phase. Everyone has that, Y/n probably cries too." "Oh Steve, I really miss her. It's driving me crazy!" I said, banging my fists on the counter.

"Relax Soda, you'll get over it. Just like how she did." He said. "What? How do you know she's over me?" "Ehh, I prefer not to mention it."

"She's found another person has she?" I said and he nodded. I huffed and buried my face into my hands.

"Man, I hope I do get over this. I'm dying."
