~SEVENTEEN~

We pulled into a parking.

"How romantic Soda" I said sarcastically.
"Oh quit it! Here put this on." He said. He handed me a black blind fold.

"As if! No way. " I said
"Oh come on!" He said smiling. "Please?"
I smiled. "Fine" I smiled and put it around my eyes.

He kept driving for about 5 minutes.

He stopped the car and hopped out. I heard him open my door. I stuck my hand out. He grabbed it with one hand and put his hand on my waist to guide me out of his truck.

"Ok it's a short walk." He said pulling me to walk with him. We walked for a minute.

"Ok ready" he said in my ear. He was standing right behind me.
I nodded. "Yes Soda" he pulled of the blindfold. My jaw dropped in awe.
We were in a field of flowers and dandelions. Candles and little cute lights lit up the area. There was a blanket on the ground with pillows and a basket full of food on the ground.

"Oh Soda it's beautiful!" I said with a large smile across my face. We sat down and ate dinner. We talked about everything that came to mind.
Once we were finished we laid down next to each other staring up at the stars.

"Hey something I've noticed about Dally is that he doesn't come home drunk anymore. It's kinda weird he just stopped like that." I said since we were on the topic of family.

"That's good. He's taking care of his family that's all" he said.
I smiled.
"Yeah. Must be hard for Darry. He practically takes care of the whole gang." I said.

"We all look out for each other ya know?" He paused. "You still enjoyin Tulsa with the socs running around?"

"Yeah I love it here. I couldn't imagine a better family" I said with a yawn at the end. "Anything's better than the hell hole I came from."

"Hey Pony said something about going down to the lake tomorrow. He was going to invite the gang. You wanna come?" He asked me.

"Of coarse Soda. Sounds like fun." I said closing my eyes and cuddling up next to him.

I thought. It's kinda funny. Tomorrows my birthday. I'm turning 17 but I never told the gang. And like Dallas knew and told the gang. He probably forgot it. I didn't care though. I'm not a birthday person. Happy birthday to me and that's it.

Soda kissed my head and I slowly fell asleep.

I woke up. The cool summer air brushed over our bodies. The sunrise was gorgeous. I woke up Soda to see the sunrise and to start packing up to leave. If we wanted to go the lake we would should leave soon.

"Soda Soda" I whispered as I shook him to wake him up.

"What?" He asked.
"Get up. We can go back to your house and get ready to go swimming." I said.

"Ok I just have one more thing." He said. He got up and took my hands.

"The way I treated you the last few weeks was awful and I just want you to know I'm really sorry. It was for a stupid stupid reason. I promise I will never do something like that again. Will you wanna be my girl?" He asked. I jumped into his arms. He spun me around. I was about to explode with joy.

"Of coarse Soda I'd love to be your girl! " I said in the crook of his neck.

"I don't know what to say Soda. I've liked you ever since I met you." I said.

He put me down and slipped a silver ring on my right ring finger.

"It's beautiful" I said smiling looking at it.
"Not as beautiful as you are," he said. He kissed me slowly. He pulled back and smiled at me. We packed our stuff up and left he dropped me off at bucks so I could get ready.
"Bye Soda. I had a really good time with you" I said.
"I'll call you when I get home and tell ya when to meet at my place." I closed the door so he could go.

I walked up to our room.
"How was your date with Steve?" Dallas asked.
"Like I said I wasn't with Steve" I said rolling my eyes.

"Oh well you weren't with Pony because he's still a child and you weren't with Johnny because I know. He would have told me anyways. You weren't with Two-bit because to be honest I don't think he will ever be enough sober to get a girl. And being with Darry is illegal. You and Soda have some weird beef with each other so it's definitely Steve so stop lying." He rambled on as I grabbed my black bikini and clothes and went into the bathroom to change.

The phone started ringing. Shit. That's probably Soda. I raced to put my shirt on and I ran out of the bathroom to see Dally already on the phone.

Who is it? I mouthed to him.

He looked at me.

Soda he mouthed back.

I nodded with my eyes wide. He looked at me weirdly and went back to talking on the phone.

I went back up to the room and sat on the bed waiting for him to come back. I wonder what they said.

What if Dally picked up the phone and Soda said hey beautiful? Uh oh. That would be kinda hilarious though.
Dally came back.
"What did Soda say?" I asked him.
"Uh he asked if we wanted to go to the lake with them. Why are you acting so weird?" He said.

I sighed in relief. "I'm not being weird your weird" I said joking.

"Get ready" he took of his shirt and whipped it at my head.

Once we got ready Dallas and I hopped into his car and we drove to the Curtis house.

We walked in and I immediately jumped onto the couch next to Steve and Ponyboy.
"Where's your swimsuit?" Pony asked me.
"I have it on under my clothes" I told Pony.
"Oh" he said.

I had a black tang top with a dark blue shorts on.

Soda came over and picked me up from the couch and spun me around.
"Hey put me down!" I yelled laughing.

"Hey looks like Sodas back to him normal self huh!" Two-bit said.

"Alright Dally who are you takin?" Darry came into the room.
"What do ya mean takin? I'm takin no one!" He said pulling the cigarette from his mouth.

"How am I supposed to fit eight people in my six seater truck?" He asked.

We all ran out to his truck.
"Steve and Two-bit can sit in the truck bed!" I yelled laughing.
Steve tackled me to the ground and started tickling me.
"What ya say!? I didn't hear ya" he said on top of me still tickling me.

"Get off!" I yelled though my laughs. He got off and helped me up but then Two came over and pushed me to the ground again.

"Owe!" I groaned turning to my stomach so I could slowly pick myself up.

"Maybe you should ride in the bed!" Two yelled to me. He started laughing.

Then the whole gang started laughing.

"No but seriously. I'm not joking" I said laughing. I ran behind Dallas as they tried to get me again.

"Alright alright guys that's enough. Stop picking on my kid sister okay?" He said to them.

He turned around to face me.
"Thanks" I said with a smile on my face.
He turned around and put two hands on my shoulders. He pushed me over hard. I fell back down into the grass.

" Your welcome" he said to me then walked away. The gang was dying of laughter.

"Y'all are mean!" I said getting up and brushing myself off.

We all some how fit in the truck. Darry sat in the driving seat. I sat next to him and Soda sat next to me in the passenger seat because Dally prohibited me to sit on anyone's lap.

It was one of the cars where the middle arm rest lifted up and was a third front seat. Dallas, Two, and Steve sat in the back with Johnny on Steve's lap and Pony on Twos lap. Dally said if anyone sat on his lap he would throw up on their head so nobody sat on him. This was going to be a long hour drive.
