The Love Triangle <3

chapter twenty~three

~Scarlet's point of view~

My mother looked at me with disbelief, "Scarlet Beatrice! I can not believe you are dating a boy..a boy that you don't even know", "I know Sodapop though. He's sweet, kind, loyal, responsible, and super hot. He's not some creep", "How would you know? We have been here for 1 month", "Mom why can't you just be happy for me?." She stopped talking and glared at me, "I am happy for you Scarlet, I am happy that you are an A student, I'm happy that you are top of your class, I'm happy that your a respectful young lady, and I'm happy that your my daughter. But I'm not happy that you are sleeping around with some boy." I was furious with her, "HE'S NOT JUST SOME BOY! And I don't sleep around...for your information I'm a virgin." I stormed out of the house crying, I'm so pissed with my parents right now. They don't want me to be happy...it hurts. I didn't know where to go, I am supposed to meet Sodapop tonight but that's not for another two hours. I decided to go to the DX station, I'm pretty sure his shift ends at seven. I walked to the DX station while balling my eyes out, I walked in and Sodapop was behind the counter, "Scarlet what are you-." He realized I was crying and immediately came out from behind the counter and came over to me, "Hey what's wrong? Talk to me", "It's my mom...she's being a bitch", "Why? What happened?", "She's saying that I'm being stupid for dating you..and she said that all I do is sleep around." He threw his worried face at me, "I'm sorry..maybe I shouldn't have rushed into things", "It's not you Sodapop, it's her. She just hates seeing me happy...she wants me to be someone I'm not", "Who does she want you to be?", "Rose." He wrapped his arms around me and I buried my head into his chest, "Soda..I can't take anymore from my parents", "They love you Scarlet..they really do", "I don't think so", "I promise they do, they are just trying to keep you safe", "I wish they didn't care about me at all", "No you don't..them caring for you is better than them not caring at all", "How so?." Sodapop thought for a split second before answering my question, "You know Dally...his parents don't care one bit about him. If he was lying in a ditch his dad could care less. If he was in the hospital in a coma his mother would hope he wouldn't wake up", "Is that why he plays a bad boy act?", "He's been messed with his whole life...I think he just doesn't want to be messed with anymore." What Sodapop said made sense, he was saying that I was lucky that my parents cared about me, "I'm sorry you have to see me crying like a little bitch...I just can't take it anymore", "Well...if your mom really doesn't think it's a good idea that we're dating...than maybe we shouldn't", "Don't say that. I will learn to deal with my parents."

Two hours later. Sodapop and I went to the drive in, I wasn't technically supposed to go because my mom said I wasn't aloud to...but I don't care. I got up to get Soda and I some popcorn, I was in the line when suddenly I heard a familiar voice behind me..it was Dally.
I turned around and my eyes met with his, "Hey Dally", "Oh hey Scarlet, who are you here with tonight? Oh that's a dumb question..we both know it's Soda", "Yeah..I'm here with Soda...he's my boyfriend." Dally gave me a sarcastic laugh, "Why am I not surprised? Of course you were gonna fall for Sodapop...no girl can resist him", "Dally...I'm sorry. I guess the only reason I ever liked you was because...I wanted to make Soda jealous", "Yeah I'm not surprised...your just like the rest of the bitches around here", "I'm sorry that I hurt you....", "I have no idea what I ever saw in you." I felt awful..I broke his heart. But I didn't mean to, I guess I just let my heart decide to like him..but I had no idea I was using him to make Soda jealous, "Dally I'm really sorry", "Whatever." He walked away leaving me with guilt, I walked back over to my seat, Sodapop looked at me concerned. "Hey what's wrong? You were gone for awhile", "I was talking to Dally..and I realized that the only reason I ever liked him was to make...you jealous." Sodapop's face went cold, "Wait...you only liked him so you could make me jealous?", "Yeah...I know it was dumb, I broke his heart. But I'm my defense...I just followed my heart, I didn't realize I used him until a few minutes ago." Sodapop ran his hands through his hair, "You know what's gonna happen to me? Dally's gonna take his pain out on me, he's gonna blame me because you broke his heart", "I didn't mean to", "It doesn't matter, he's gonna beat my ass." I felt awful, I ruined everything. I broke Dally's heart and now he's gonna take it out on Sodapop, "Maybe Dally won't take anything out on you at all", "You don't know Dally like I do, he's definitely gonna do something", "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to ruin everything", "I know you didn't. I'm just gonna head home...see you later." Sodapop got up and walked away, usually before we part ways he kisses me...but this time he didn't.

~Sodapop's point of view~

I walked home by myself, I felt bad about leaving Scarlet at the drive in. I'm just nervous about what's gonna happen between Dally and I. We used to be best friends but now we're not..I betrayed him.
