The Love Triangle <3

chapter eleven

~Scarlet's point of view~

I just got grounded by my dad...just great, I went into Cherry's room and she was laying in her bed crying. I went over and sat next to her, "I'm sorry about you and Bob Cherry...", "H-how did you know?", "He told me earlier...him and his friends tried taking me with them to who knows where", "I'm sorry...", "It's okay, but listen to me...there are plenty of other guys out there..way better than Bob." She wiped her eyes and her mascara smeared, "Scarlet you don't understand...there aren't any boys like Bob....he was just perfect", "I get it...but maybe you should try going...for I don't know...a greaser." She stopped and gave me a cold stare, "Have you lost your mind? My parents would kill me if they found out I was going out with a greaser", "Well why do you care what they think?", "Because they are the ones who pay the bills around here", "Cherry..your mom would probably be cool with it", "Look..you might think you know my mom just because your mom is her sister but....my mom is different than your mom....she's more lame." Did Cherry just call her mom lame? I always thought that Aunt Helen was pretty rad...she always seemed so sure of herself and she was always so understanding , "So your saying....you think my mom isn't as lame as your mom?", "Hell yeah, your mom is always so confident and she doesn't care about who you date...all she wants is for you to be happy", "Yeah...I wish my dad was that way."

~Dally's point of view~

I am sick of Sodapop, he stole the girl I like...it's bullshit. I don't understand what she likes about him...maybe it's his eyes...or his hair...or his perfect face. Maybe she doesn't like how I am a bad boy....maybe she doesn't like that I steal. Maybe she doesn't like me at all.

~Scarlet's point of view~

The next day I woke up and went downstairs, my mom was sitting at the table drinking coffee, "Mom can we talk?", "Of course honey! What's up?", "Well...dad grounded me", "What? Why?", "because I snuck out of the house last night...but that was only because he said I couldn't go out." She put down her mug and thought for a second, "sweetie...he just cares about you...all he wants is for you to be safe", "I know...but I am being safe", "He cares about you Scarlet...don't take this personally", "But mom you don't understand...I have to see this boy...or well these two boys", "Boys?!?! Who!!!." I explained my situation to her and this was her advice, "Keep hanging out with both of them...eventually the one that you fall in love with will be the one to stay." I looked at her with pleading eyes, "Mom can I please go out into town today?", "Scarlet....your dad said your grounded, you need to respect him", "Mom please...I need to see them", "Okay....fine. But you better be back before your father gets back", "Okay thank you!!! I love you." I kissed her cheek and ran upstairs to get dressed, today I decided to wear a jean skirt with a whit tee tucked into it, I threw on my black high top converse and I was gone.
I walked to the DX station and saw Sodapop's bestfriend Steve, "Hey Steve", "Oh hey Scarlet", "Have you seen Soda?", "Yeah, he's inside", "Thank you." I walked inside the station and all I could hear was Elvis playing from a radio with someone humming along, I looked over and saw Sodapop restocking a shelve. He had no idea I was in there so I decided to scare him...because why not? I quietly snuck up near him, "You like Elvis Soda?." I swear this boy jumped six feet in the air, "HOLY SHIT! You scared me Scarlet", "Did I?." He grinned at me, "So what brings you by?", "I don't know....I just wanted to say hi", "Hi Scarlet." I laughed and looked into his blue eyes, "I also wanted to say thank you...for driving me home last night", "Oh of course it was no problem, I'm sorry again that the socs tried to take you", "Eh it's okay....I'm just so thankful your friends saved me", "They are just relieved you didn't get hurt." I smiled at him, "Alright...I should get going...I'm not aloud to be out right now,I'm grounded...", "Why's that?", "I have a dick for a father." He laughed, "See you later Scarlet", "By Soda." I walked out of the DX and continued walking, I eventually ran into Dally in town, "Hey Dally!", "Hey Scarlet", "What are you up to today?", "Eh nothing much." He didn't seem like himself, "Dally what's wrong?", "Nothin..I'm fine", "No your not." He looked down, "Tell me what's wrong", "It's just...I can't keep competing with Sodapop to win you over...I'm never gonna win." I saw this coming....it's my fault, "It's my fault...I shouldn't have started going out with both of you...it's just..you both attract me to you. Dally you are just this hot bad boy with these beautiful brown eyes and that smirk of yours just makes me fall for you. But than there is Soda....he has the most beautiful blue ocean eyes, he has the most gorgeous pearly white smile, and his hair is so gorgeous. It's so hard to pick between you two." He looked at me with his free brown hair flying in the wind, "I get it Scarlet...I won't be surprised when you decide that Sodapop is a better match for you." I felt like a total jackass, "Dally I never said I'm gonna pick either of you. It's not like I'm gonna be here forever...I have to go back to California eventually. I'm sorry that you feel like I'm making you have to compete with Sodapop....but to be fair...I never said you had to take me out, I don't even understand why you want to be with me...I'm....not....girlfriend material."
