chapter 9 //triple date

Corey's POV

I felt terrible that Bells saw me like that. She was not supposed to know. She probably thinks I am a deadbeat, dopehead. She wont want anything to do with me anymore. Right?

But it was not right, in fact. My high was fading away when she whispered she would be there for me.

She was too good for me. She did not deserve to see someone like me, like this.

I woke up in my bed , a cup of water next to me, And Bells asleep by my side. I stroked her hair, which woke her up.

Her long eyelashes fluttered against her smooth skin, before opening, revealing her olive green eyes.

She smiled instantly, stroking my cheek. "Corey." she whispered.

I put my hand over hers and kissed her forehead.

"I am so sorry , baby. I am so sorry you had to see me like that. I wanted to keep that from you. I didnt want you to know. But I promise Ill be okay-" she cut me off quickly.

"Corey, okay is smoking a blunt once in a while, maybe taking a shot at a friends party. Taking hardcore drugs, especially heroin? That is definitley not okay. Corey, you need help, and I will be here for you, and I wont leave your side, because I care about you. " she smiled leaning in and pecking my cheek.

"How was I so lucky to find you?" I said kissing her cheek, causing her to let out a giggle .

"I don't know, but you've got me forever. I promise not to leave you."

She snuggled in closer to my chest .

"I'm all yours." she whispered.

Arabella's POV

Hayley had invited me to go on a "triple date" with her and Sodapop, Christian and Cherry, And Maddy and Darry.

I said yes, because I felt like Corey should go out places more with friends. We agreed on this old cute diner that sells killer pizza.

Corey was picking me up in a few minutes, so I slipped on a poofy blue denim skirt with a white tied blouse, and my white shoes.

I left my hair down and curly, let it flow down my mid back .

I heard a knock at the front door, knowing it was Corey. I rushed downstairs and practically tripped over myself. I opened the door,instantly smiling at his presence.

He glanced me up and down smiling .
"You look amazing," he grinned.

"Lets not waste any time, hot shot , we have got a triple date to be on, remember?" I chuckled walking towards his car.

He rolled his eyes , " Do we really have to go?" he groaned at me.

"Yes! I promised Hayley I would go, and its good for you! It will be so fun I promise." I smiled at him.

He gave in and opened the car door for me . "Ladies first."

Once we were both buckled in he pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He put one in between his lips, and I instantly took it out, along with the pack.

"The fuck was that for , Bells?" He laughed reaching for the pack, but I pulled it away.

"Corey, to stop being so addicted you have to start out with the little things. Like for instance, these cancer sticks." i scolded him.

He rolled his eyes, groaned and annoyed. He started the engine and turned on the radio.

He was tense, I could feel it. I put my hand over his on the steering wheel.

"Corey, I'm only trying to help." I said reassuringly. "I know its hard, well actually I dont know how it is, but it must be hard as fuck. But you can do this, I believe in you."
I rubbed my thumb over his hand to calm him down.

He untensed , and smiled at me. " I truly appreciate it , baby." he smiled.

We arrived at the diner, and I waved to Hayley to get her attention.

She was in the middle of sucking Soda's face until I poked her.

"Oh , hey Bells! Why dont you introduce Corey to Soda , Cherry , Christian, Mads, and Darry." she smiled.

"Lots of people.." Corey mumbled .

Corey shook everyones hand introducing himself then we took a seat.

The waitress came over and we all decided to split a large pepperoni pizza, and cokes for all of us.

"So, are you and Corey going steady or somethin'?" Maddy said , sipping her coca- cola.

Madison was one of Hayley's friends, she has long chocolate colored hair that went down to her mid back, and olive colored eyes, just like mine, except more cheerful and happy. She was always happy, never ever upset. Did I mention she is Darry's girl? Her and Patrick kissed at Hayley's party a month ago, they've been going steady ever since.

"Well, its not official, yet." I smiled nervously.

"It was very nice of yall to join us tonight, " Cherry said twirling her hair.

Now, Cherry Valance had red curly hair, sort of like mine, but her hair was so red, thats how she got her nickname. Her curls were more loose and bouncy, than mine which were very frizzy and tight. Her and my other best friend, Christian, had started going steady not so long ago, you see , after Dallas broke her heart. That's how they came to be. Cherry was very proper, popular at school, but not the type of popular that everyone hates, she was sweet and kind-hearted. You could trust her with anything.

We finished our meal and decided to say our goodbyes, I barely had a chance to say goodbye to Hayley, she was already making out with Soda.

"Let's go, baby, its getting late."
