We didn't stop running until we reached the house and we were sure they hadn't followed us. Darry was sitting on the porch reading a newspaper when we ran up and collapsed on the front stairs gasping for air.
"What the hell Soda. What happened?" He put the paper down and came to stand over us.
"Socs-...drunk-...tried-...kill-...us-." Soda got out through his wheezing. I'm pretty sure one of the guys from before had been pressing down on his throat. Between that and the running he was sure to be out of breath. I sat up and leaned my head against the rail next to me. I heard Darry mutter something about stupid socs and an ice pack before turning back to go inside.
Soda had finally caught his breath and he sat up on the stair next to me. I placed my head on his shoulder.
"You all right? He didn't do anythin to ya right? I swear. I'll kill him if he did-" I put my hands on both sides of his face.
"Hey. I'm ok. He didn't do anything. Just rattled me a bit. What about you. You took on like all of them at once."
"I'm ok." His voice trailed off and his eyes fell to my wrist where the flannel had ridden up. Red marks were beginning to show from where the Soc had grabbed me. I pulled my hands back and pulled the flannel over my wrists but his eyes stayed trained on them.
"Hey. They'll fade. Don't do anything to put you in danger. I swear they don't hurt at all." I grabbed his hand in both of mine.
Darry came back outside to let us know he was going to bed and to not do anything else stupid until he was awake in the morning. We said goodnight and he retreated back into the house.
"I think everyone's leaving for the night. Two'll probably be out until daylight though. I should get home so he at least knows where I am." I stood up and brushed off my pants. Soda stood up next to me and put his hands around my waist.
"There's a Drag Race on Friday. I'm not participatin but Dally and Two might be. I don't know if your brother already told you but you should come with us. It'll be fun." He was smiling at me and I poked one of his dimples.
"I'll be there." I reached up on my toes to kiss him on the cheek and started down the stairs back towards my house.

A.N.
Holy shit it has been so long since I've even gotten on Wattpad this is crazy. Sorry for the short chapter. I do have ideas for this book and I want to put them into the story but I just don't use wattpad anymore. This isn't the end I promise but I'm just warning y'all that it'll probably be a long time before more updates come. Thank you all so much for being so supportive even though I don't ever give you guys anything to be supportive of. I hope this chapter was good enough to tide you over for a bit 🥲
