Jealousy (A Sodapop Curtis Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

I drove around for what felt like hours, just trying to find Soda. It was getting really late and so I stopped at the DX. I got a coke from the DX and then was heading back out to my car when a soc came up to me.

“Hey cutie, what are you doing out this late?” The soc asked while looking me up and down and smirking. I recognized him from a rumble. It was Paul, he was also one of Darry’s old buddies.

“What do you want, Paul?” I asked, looking at him with an annoyed look.

“Oh not much, just for you to come with me,” He said while smirking.

“In your dreams” I said while looking Paul up and down.

“Don’t get smart with me sweetie!” Paul said in a stern voice while grabbing my arm.

“Let go of me” I said while trying to pull my arm out of Paul's tight grip.

“I don’t think so,” Paul said while holding both of my arms and kissing me.

“GET OFF HER!!!” I heard from a familiar voice behind me. I turned around and Soda was standing there. 

“And what are you gonna do grease” Paul said while throwing me on the ground and walking towards Soda.

Soda then punched Paul right in the face, and Paul stumbled back. Then Paul pinned Soda on the ground and started punching him. I quickly got my switchblade out and walked over to Paul. I sliced the back of Paul’s neck and when he reached for it in pain I held the blade to his throat. 

“Now get out of here before we start seeing some real blood” I said, still holding my blade to Paul.

Paul quickly got up and ran to his car and sped off. I turned around to Soda, and all the sudden I collapsed on the ground.

I woke up on the ground in the DX parking lot in Soda’s arms.

“Omg are you ok Anns,” Soda said while looking at me. I just stared back at Soda and then kissed him. We kissed what felt like forever and in between kisses I kept apologizing and telling Soda that I loved him too. 

“Why don’t we go to the lot and talk?”Soda said while helping me off the ground.

I said okay, so the two of us got into my car and then I drove us to the lot. We got out of the car when we reached the lot and I got a rag that I had from the DX and I started to wipe some of the blood off of Soda’s face.

“Man, Paul got you good.” I said while wiping Soda's face.  

“Yeah, I was just lucky he wasn’t wearing any rings,” Soda said while smiling at me.

“Yeah” I said while giving Soda a kiss on the cheek. 

Soda and I laid down and cuddled on the ground while watching the stars. It felt nice to fully connect with Soda again, and to be able to tell him my true feelings took a lot of weight off my shoulders. 

I fell asleep laying on top of Soda. I could hear his steady heart beat and the sound of him breathing. I could smell the scent of his sweet cologne and the smell of oil from working on cars. I could feel his soft but rough hands as he rubbed my hair, and it felt like a true dream.

I woke up a couple hours later to Soda stroking my hair. 

“Hey princesses, I hate to wake you up but we should probably head home.” Soda said in a calming soft voice.

“Okay,” I said in a sleepy soft voice. Soda then carried me to the car and he drove us both back to his house. I was half awake but I could feel Soda pick me up and take me inside. I was exhausted so I just laid my head in the crook of Soda’s neck. I could feel Soda put me on his bed and then he went to talk to Darry. I was still half awake but I could hear Soda talking to Darry and explaining what happened. I heard them stop talking and then Soda come back in.

“Hey honey, watcha doing up?” Soda said in a comforting voice as he came and laid next to me.

“I couldn’t fall back asleep” I said while cuddling up to Soda.

“Aww well hopefully you will be able to now” Soda said while kissing the top of my head. Soda and I both fell asleep for the night after that.
