Forbidden Love |✩ Johnny Cade✩|

|Chapeter 1| Not So Secret Crush

I had always felt like an outsider, despite being the sister to the three most well-known greasers in town. I was quieter than my brothers, preferring to keep to myself and my books. I struggled a lot with depression and self harm. But there was one person who made me feel like I belonged - Johnny. I had been crushing on him for years, but had never dared to tell anyone. I had always been interested in Johnny Cade. I found him mysterious and intriguing, and I couldn't help but feel drawn to him.

One afternoon, Johnny and I  were hanging out in the park watching the sunset . We  had been talking for hours, and the conversation had gradually become more intimate.

As we  sat side by side, I found myself lost in Johnny's eyes. I took a deep breath and decided to take a chance.

"Johnny," I said softly, "I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" Johnny asked, turning to look at me.

"I know we've been friends for a long time, but...I think I'm in love with you."

Johnny's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"

I nodded. "I've been trying to ignore it, but I can't help the way I feel. I know it's risky, but I just had to tell you."

Johnny took my hand in his. "Y/N, I feel the same way. I've been afraid to say anything because I didn't want to ruin our friendship, but...I love you too."

"Y/n can I ask you something."

"Sure Johnny."

Johnny took a deep breath and took a step closer to me. "I was wondering if you'd maybe want to go out with me sometime?"

My eyes widened in surprise. . "I...I don't know, Johnny," I replied hesitantly. "I mean, we're not supposed to date each other, right?"

Johnny nodded. "Yeah, I know. But I really like you, y/n. And I don't want to hide it anymore. I don't care about the rules."

I sighed, my eyes flickering around nervously. "I love you a lot too Johnny more that you can imagine," I repeated. "It's just...if we get caught, we could get in a lot of trouble. And I don't want anything to happen to you."

Johnny frowned. "I can take care of myself, y/n. And besides, it's not like we have to tell anyone. We can keep it a secret."

I bit my lip, considering Johnny's words. I did love him, more than I had ever realized, and the thought of being with him was tempting. But at the same time, I knew the risks. "Okay," I finally said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'll go out with you, Johnny. But we have to keep it a secret, okay? No one can know."

Johnny nodded eagerly, a smile spreading across his face. "Okay, y/n. I won't tell anyone. I promise."

We both smiled, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me. We sat  in comfortable silence for a few moments, just enjoying each other's company.

Finally, Johnny spoke up. "You know what's funny?" he said. "I've always felt like we were meant to be together. Even before we became friends, I had this weird feeling that we would end up falling in love someday."

I laughed. "Really? I had no idea."

Johnny leaned in and kissed me  softly. It was gentle at first, but quickly became more passionate as we  both realized that we had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

As we pulled away, Johnny's eyes locked onto my arms. The sunlight hit my skin just right, and he noticed the long, thin scars lining my wrists.

"Y/n..." he trailed, his voice unsure.

My head drooped, suddenly feeling incredibly self conscious. "I'm sorry," I whispered, expecting Johnny to recoil in disgust.

Instead, Johnny took my hand in his and rubbed his thumb over the scars. "You don't have to be sorry," he said, his voice soft and gentle.

He looked back up at me with determination in his eyes. "I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you. No matter what."

Tears welled up in my eyes as I pulled him into a tight embrace. I had never felt so understood and loved, and it was all thanks to Johnny Cade.

I had finally confessed my feelings to Johnny, and it had all worked out better than I could have ever imagined.

Johnny had offered to walk me home, walking towards my house, Johnny squeezed my hand tightly, feeling grateful for this moment. "I promise I'll always take care of you, Y/N," he said. "I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy."

I smiled up at Johnny, feeling protected and loved. "I know you will, Johnny. And I'll always be here for you too."

Together, we walked up the steps to my house, feeling happy and content. We knew that our love for each other would remain strong, no matter what obstacles they we may face.

Later that evening, I was in my room and I heard a knock on the door. It was my twin brother Sodapop.

"Hey, Y/N, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure, what's up?"

Sodapop sat down on my bed, looking serious.

"I know about you and Johnny," he said, his voice low.

My heart dropped. I had never wanted anyone to find out, especially not my brothers.

"What do you mean?" I  asked, trying to stay calm.

"I mean I saw you two together today. You think you can keep something like that a secret from me?"

I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sodapop. I didn't mean for you to find out like this."

Sodapop put his arm around me.

"It's okay, Y/N. I just want you to be happy. And if Johnny makes you happy, then that's all that matters."

" But you do know it's against the rules Soda, so please don't tell anyone not even Steve." I let out.

"I won't I promise just don't get caught."

I hugged Soda , feeling grateful for his understanding.

"Now come downstairs and hang out with the gang."
