The Gang.

First Day Back

I woke up the next morning and got up but I was careful not to step on Soda. I put my hair up and some spandex and walk down stairs.

When I reach the bottom of the stairs, I see most of the gang, except Soda.
"Good mornin guys." I said while yawning. I got a chorus of good mornings from them.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water and drank it.
"So, who did I not see last night?" Two Bit stood up. "Me." "Can't forget THE Two Bit Matthews" I hugged him, and he whispered in my ear. "It's great to have you back, Eli." I smiled like a fool. Two-Bit has always been my favorite. I've always been able to relate to him more.
"Alright love birds, break it up." I pulled apart from him.
"Eli, we are going to the Dingo tonight. You comin?"
"Yeah, I guess I can come."
"Good because you were going to anyways."

Since we weren't leaving until about 5, I decided I would just hang around since it was 1:00. I walked down stairs and there were no seats left, so I just sat on Two-Bits lap. Did I mention that we had something before I left? Well we did. We only broke it off because of the distance of me being in New York and him in Tulsa.

Finally 5 o'clock came around, I was ready and wearing a black, tight t-shirt and a pair of dark wash denim short shorts, with some black high heels. My hair was in its natural curls and the minimal make up.

I walked down stairs and most of the guys were down there. It was 4:50, so I was the last one ready which is normal. Soda was already gone to go pick up his girl. So it was everybody minus him, I walked to the door. "Are yall comin?" They were all staring at me.

"I would appreciate it if yall weren't staring at me..." Immediately they all stood up and started towards the door. I was already at my truck because I didn't want to be stuck with the guys in one car. Ponyboy and Johnny jumped in the truck with me, having the same idea.

"Since when do they let yall come with us to parties?"

"This is the second one because Darry is actually going." I just nodded and kept driving, thinking of how overprotective Darry is now. He used to never be like that until mom and dads death. I just shook it off.

I pulled up at the dingo and it seems like the party has already started. I hope I don't get put on watch for the boys, I was hoping I would actually be able to drink some tonight. Oh well, I'll drink anyways.

I got out of the truck and I walked inside and found Two-Bit, who of course was already drunk.

"Hey Two."
"Hey"
i ordered a beer from the bartender.
"How's that girl of yours?"
"Annoying. She's cheated on me twice."
"Break up with her" this got emotional quick for Two Bit. It's not normal. I don't know if I should be worried.
"I really thought it could work." I take a sip of my beer and continue listening to and watching everybody dance. I suddenly felt a sense of bravery

"Two Bit?"
"Yes?"
"Wanna go dance?" I asked finishing my beer.
"Uh.. Yeah come on" I don't know where this came from, but I like it. Yes, alcohol makes me act like this. Even 1 beer. Especially dark beer, it's great and I really don't know how this is going to end.

Me and Two are dancing to some new song and he tries to show off his dance moves but fails miserably because of the intoxication. I laugh so hard at his attempts and the song finally ends and some old Hank Williams Jr. song comes on and Two a it grabs me and starts dancing with me. I'm surprised by the way he's acting, something may have really happened between him and his girl. I just go along with it and I look over to see the gang staring at Two Bit and I. I know that we had something and I still feel the same for him but he never acted like this.

Finally, the bar shuts down and I don't even know how to feel right now. I walk out to my truck, I've sobered up enough to drive. Two-Bit jumps in and it scares me and I can't handle it so I bust out laughing.

"Sorry babe. Didn't mean to scare you." I don't even know what to say to that. He's been like this all night. I don't know if I'm being used as a rebound or if he wants to continue what we had before I left. I hope it's the second one.
