Robyn Grace

CHAPTER EIGHT🤍❤️

( A/N I can't believe we're already on chapter 8 what-)

I was recovering from the hangover well, I stayed home from work though. But by the next morning, I felt fine. I practically skipped up to the DX ready for a good day and seeing soda pop.

But when I got into the DX, he was nowhere to be seen- which is really weird because soda comes to work no matter what. I found Steve working on a car in the garage. "Hey Steve you seen soda?" He shook his head. "No I thought maybe he was with you."

"Huh. I'm gonna give him a call. Maybe he slept in." Steve followed me inside and I called soda. The phone rang. and rang. And rang. Voicemail.

"He didn't pick up the phone..." I said. "I would drop by, but I'm helping my dad with some work later so I can't." "I'll stop by later don't worry." I smiled. "Thanks Robyn."

We both got to work. It was a fairly busy day. About 22 customers. I got home, started chores, made Parker dinner when he got home,and changed. It was a basic white blouse and white washed jeans.
Then I was off to the Curtis's.

I knocked on the door and no one answered. Odd. I knocked again and I heard someone say they were coming. I waited patiently and i saw darry open the door. He looked exhausted his shirt all wrinkly and bags under his eyes.

"Oh hello Robyn." "Hi, can I see soda? He didn't come to work today or answer our calls so me and Steve were um worried." I said awkwardly. "Oh well uh that's very sweet of you Robyn but I don't think he's up to visitors right now-" "why what's wrong?!" I said concerned trying to peek over Darry's broad shoulders.

"Uh he's fine it's just... on second thought,  why don't you come in- seeing you might help." He said letting me in. I heard pony talking to someone in a room as I krept up sodas room. "S-soda?" I whispered.

He was laying face down head in his pillow pony next to him. "Is it Sandy?" He mumbled in the pillow. "No soda, it's Robyn." Pony said patting his back. "Oh." He responded. "I'll leave you two." Pony said leaving the room with darry.

I cautiously sat down on the end of the bed. "Do you wanna tell me what's wrong..?" Soda sighed sitting up and wiping his eyes of fresh tears. "It's Sandy- she got pregnant with another guys baby." He said into his hands. I was speechless. I thought Sandy was a nice girl- I can't believe she'd do this too soda.
I mean it's just depressing.

"Soda- I am so sorry." I said patting his back. Soda stifled a sob. "I even offered to be there! Take care of the baby as my own. She wants nothing to do with me." I felt terrible that I had no idea what to say. Instead, I turned him around and hugged him- squeezing him tight. Soda sobbed into my arms.

I haven't seen him this sad since his parents passed. I held him and let him cry. It was the only thing I could do I mean this has never happened to me. After he caught his breath he let go. The front of my shirt a bit was wet and he kinda laughed at the sight. "Glory- I'm sorry about your shirt. I feel so stupid." Soda groaned running his fingers through his un-greased hair. "Don't feel stupid soda you have the right to feel this upset- and everyone has to let their emotions out. After all, "Pain demands to be felt." (Please tell me some one got that reference )

"Thanks Birdie. You always know how to make me feel better." He said bumping my shoulder with his. "I'll always be here for you soda." I said bumping his shoulder back. For a second there was silence. We stared into each others eyes until sodas eyes glanced at my lips. My heart was going a million miles a minute. I sighed and stood up. "Your probably tired." "Oh uh yeah." soda replied sheepishly. I went to the door. "Goodnight soda pop." "Goodnight Robyn." I flicked off the lights and shut the door behind me.

I took a deep breath and made my way down the hallway. I made it to the living room too see pony put down his book and look up at me with expectant eyes.

"He's lying down- I think all the crying tired him out." I with a slight smile. "Thanks Robyn." Its no problem. He's been there for me so it's my turn." "It's really sad. I never thought Sandy would do something to hurt him so bad." Pony sighed. "I know.." I commented leaning against the door frame.

"He was gonna marry her ya know?" Pony causally mentioned. My eyes shot up. "W-what?" "Darry doesn't know- but soda planned on purposing soon."

Wow. They were gonna get married. And I didn't even know. "Well uh- I gotta get going pone. Cya later." I said opening the door. "Cya Robyn."

I got home kinda late. I took a drive to the park and back to clear my head. He was really gonna marry her. I wonder if Steve knew. Doesn't matter- I'm gonna do everything in my power to make soda feel better.

Short chapter- but don't worry I have many chapters written so hopefully I'm gonna post more. (916 words)
