We're Just Best Friends| Darry Curtis

Apologies

Darry' s POV

" Hey, Buck can I get 2 cokes" after last night my body cant take anymore booze.
"Sure you can muscle man wait over there at the end of the bar."
I roll my eyes at the nickname and start walking to the other side of the bar. As I get closer to the end I see a familiar face leaning on the bar, I walk up and sit next to her.
"Hey Delilah"
" Hello Darrel" she replies in a annoyed tone, taking a shot of whatever she was drinking.....After she left my house this morning Ponyboy told me that I had said something last night that really upset her. Now I don't really remember much of anything from last night, but I know if she was that upset it must have been real bad. And I really want to apologize, she is my best friend after all.
"Hey D look, I'm real sorry bout what I said, I drank a lot yesterday and I lost control of myself. You are my best friend and I should never say anything to upset you and I feel real bad bout it" I  do feel real bad, I knew something was wrong when she didn't even stay for breakfast this morning.

She mumbled something under her breath

" What was that?"

" You said that I was JEALOUS of her Darry, and you of all people know I would never be jealous of someone like her" Delilah looks almost hurt.

" I know D, I was drunk, I couldn't think straight and that was real stupid of me to say. I know you would never want to be like her, please... forgive me?"

"Fine, but say something like that again and I'll skin ya"
" Heard you loud and clear" I pull her into a quick hug. I step back and look at her as she walks away from the bar. She had straightened her hair, I always liked when she'd straighten her hair, it was really long, considering she was about 5'9- 5'10 and it fell to her waist. She wore a black dress that fit her body real nice, If I didn't know her id think shes was a super model. Lilah has always been beautiful to me even when she didn't she was. She wasn't like the other greaser girls that needed pounds of make up to look pretty. She was naturally pretty. Her eyes.....a warm hazel and her lips a natural pink against her light skin.....God damnit Darrel snap out of it, she's your best friend.

Delilah's POV
I'm glad that Darry apologised. But you know what they say " Drunken words are sober thoughts". Is he right to think that way?
Am I jealous of Kelsey?
Nope not at all!! Fuck her!!!
I walk over to where I see Angela, Ponyboy and Johnny sitting down at a small table.
" Thanks for leaving me over there " I give Angela a sarcastic smile.
" Your welcome, that's what friends are for" she says in the same exact tone. " You know I thought that you two would end up together one day". Pony and Johnny snicker. "What's so funny?"

"Lilah probably thought that too" Johnny smirks.

"JOHNNY!!!.....I can't believe you" I give him a surprised look, "OMG enough about Darry!! I came here to party and that's what I'm going to do." I stand up and join the crowd of dancing greasers. I started swaying to the loud music, feeling the energy around me , taking shots of whatever Angela brought my way. By the end of it all, I couldn't tell where the night had ended and a new day had begun.
