The outsiders

Healing

Bree's POV

I jump awake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. Every night for two weeks I have had the same nightmare, Soda dying, it was horrifying. I take a deep breath and slowly walk to his room. I didn't want to wake him so I slowly opened his door and walked to the bed he was sprawled out in with Pony boy, I knew that there was no way to do this without waking one of them. I sighed and gently shook Soda.

"Hmm? What?" He said sleepily.
"It's me. Can I lay in here with you?" I ask looking at his sleepy blue eyes.

To my surprise, he smiled warmly and opened his arms to me. I crawled in them and wrapped mine around him, letting the terror from the dream slowly disappear as I laid my head on Soda's chest. He smiled and traced my spine through my tshirt. Before I could feel even slightly self conscious because I was wearing an old tshirt and short shorts, Soda pressed his lips against mine. I kiss him back, letting my fingers tangle in his messy dark brown hair. He smiled against my lips and brushed his fingers against my cheek and collarbone. I smiled and gently trace over his bare chest with the tips of my fingers. He had several scars that littered his tan skin, some from different fights, some from getting under cars and getting cut up, for some reason or another they fascinated me. He smiled at me and kept gently stroking my hair before gently kissing my head. There was one that was right over his heart and I gently traced it, seeing him shudder lightly.

"You okay?" I ask looking up at him.

"Yeah. Just been along time since I got that one."

"How did ya get it?" I ask

"Sandy hit me with the end of a bottle, not enough to hurt too bad but enough to scar." He said, running his fingers through my hair absentmindedly.

"Why?" I asked appalled

"I called her out on cheating on me." He said.

I looked at him, I can't imagine why anyone would hurt him. I smile and just wrap my arms tighter around him.

"Goodnight Darlin." He said, yawning.

"Goodnight Soda." I responded and also yawned
