Sodapop and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. And I thought that was what I wanted. But when he started dating Sandy I realized I loved him. But by then there was nothing I could do about it. I went out with a couple of guys during that time but I didn't really like them. After Sandy cheated on him I thought that maybe eventually he would realize he loved me. That never happened. Every now and then he talks about how he'll never love again and that annoying shit. So I gave up. I guess I'll try to meet someone else.

...

"Heya Steve!" I said as I walked into the DX.

"Hey (Y/n). What's up?" He said as he worked on a car. I was gonna hang with Soda but he's surrounded by girls at the moment.

"Not much. Just met an amazing guy!" I say with a huge smile on my face.

"Who's this guy?" I turned and saw Soda.

"Well his name is Dalton and.." Before I could finish Steve interrupted.

"He work at the Dingo?"

"Yeah. You know him?"

"Talked to him a couple times." He shrugged.

"I don't think you should go out with him." Soda added in.

"Why not?"

"He's kind of a player." Steve said quietly. "You have this thing for dating jerks."

"I don't date jerks!"

"Oh really? What about Tom? Daniel? Or.." Soda started listing off guys but I interrupted.

"Tom yeah he was a jerk and I technically wasn't dating Daniel and since when has it been your business who I dated?!" I said getting mad. "You got mad at me when I told you that Sandy was a bad idea!"

"That was different." Soda rolled his eyes.

"Soda calm down. We've only met this guy like twice. He could be a good guy!" Steve told him.

"Thank you Steve." I smiled and hugged him. "Now I have to go." I say walking out. I don't need Sodas approval. Whatever. I got a date.

"Guess who?" Someone had their hands over my eyes. I smiled.

"Umm let me think. Is it Elvis?" I laughed.

"No! How dare you think I'm Elvis! I'm so much more fabulous!" I laughed.

"More fabulous than Elvis?!"

"Uh yeah! Dalton!"

"Well that would make sense!" I smile as he slides into the booth in front of me.

**Sodapops POV**

"I can't believe she went out with him!" I said annoyed.

"You can't control her Soda." Steve said eating his sandwich.

"I'm not trying to control her. I'm trying to protect her!"

"You do this every time she meets a guy." Steve rolled his eyes.

"To protect her!"

"I think you like her."

"As a friend."

"No. Much more than that." I sat there for a minute thinking about it. Maybe I did like her more than a friend.

"Yeah. It is more than that." Steve choked on his food.

"Whoa. I didn't think you'd admit it." He drank some water. "You should probably tell her before Dalton asks her out."

"You're right. I'll tell her as soon as I see her again!" I smiled.

I impatiently waited for her to get back from her date. She finally got back at around 4.

"I thought you were just gonna go to lunch with him!" Steve said as she walked in.

"It was and it was great! And guess who has a new boyfriend!" She had the biggest smile I've ever seen.

"That's great!" I faked a smile. She ran over and hugged me. Steve gave me a look of pity but I just stood there hugging her.

**three months later**

I haven't seen (Y/n) since she started dating Dalton. They always seem to be together. But she comes around sometimes.

"(Y/n)!" I yell as she walks into the door. "I've missed you!" And ran over and hugged her.

"I've missed you too!" We jut sat on the couch talking and watching TV. I looked over and noticed her shirt came up a little.

"Is that a bruise." I ask reaching for her shirt.

"No!" She said and smacked my hand.

"Yes it is! I'm not stupid!" I said and she ignored me. "Is that why you don't come around anymore?"

"I have to go Soda." She went to get up but I pulled her back down.

"Ow! Let go of me!"

"No! Why do you let him do that?!"

"He always apologizes." She mumbled.

"But does he ever stop?"

"No." She wouldn't look me in the eye.

"What's his number?" I walked over to the phone.

"You can't call him!"

"Then break up with him!"

"No! I love him!"

"And I love you! I can't watch this happen to you!" She stopped and stared at me.

**Your POV**

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

"You love me?" He blushed and looked at the ground.

"Yeah. I guess I always have. I just didn't notice it until I couldn't have you."

"Okay. I'll break up with him." Soda shot his head up.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'll break up with him." I smiled.

"And you'll go out with me afterwards." He said with hope in his eyes.

"Yeah. I'll go out with you." I smiled.

I can't believe Sodapop Curtis loves me.
