SODAPOP FOLLOWS LACY AS SHE STORMED OUT OF THE DINGO WITH WESLEY, who was constantly complaining a out not getting her fires over sodapop's repeated shouts.
lacy fumbles over her keys to find her car keys, sodapop was nearing her.
"you can't stop running, you know?" sodapop panted.
lacy ignores him once again and screams over not being able to find her keys, "where the fuck is it?!"
"how come you didn't tell me?" he asks.
"because i don't feel like it." she said sharply, "my business isn't your business so just leave me the hell alone or yet, go ahead and tell your friends about my baby because it's all you, talk about my business!"
"it's my baby so it is my god damn business!" sodapop shouted.
lacy was stunned, she didn't think he'd yell at her like that.
"fuck you, you're an ass." she scoffed.
wesley spoke, "lacy, let me drive."
"no."
lacy unlocks her car while maintaining a eye contact with sodapop.
"will you just talk to me?" he pleads as he slams her door shut.
"what is there to talk about?" lacy laughs.
"that you're pregnant with my baby and you didn't even tell me?"
lacy ignores him, she pushes him away from her car, letting herself get in. sodapop repeatedly taps on her window with the same question repeating itself, lacy puts the car in reverse, nearly running sodapop over.
wesley looks back at sodapop who is just standing in the middle of the parking lot with a whole crowd surrounding him.
"lacy, hear the guy out, come on." wesley groaned.
"no, he fucked me over twice and you expect me to let him talk to me?" she scoffed, "thanks but i've had enough on my plate."
"at the same time, do you really want your baby to grow up without a father?" wesley questions her.
lacy paused, she was stunned by wesley's question. no words could form out of her mouth but all she could do was think about what wesley just said.
"i'm just saying, you don't have to let him-"
"shut up." lacy interrupted her.
she was right, lacy didn't want her daughter to grow up without a father who would actually be there for her. lacy already felt bad enough for her daughter that she started feeling bad for sodapop.
meanwhile, sodapop went back inside the dingo to order himself a beer. steve was confused about his order, sodapop rarely drank at all. and when he did, that meant he was pissed off real bad.
sodapop pretended to be okay and nothing had just happened, when he really felt a lot on the inside.
just because lacy was going to keep him away from his child, didn't mean he was going to stop trying. he promised himself he'd get to meet his child, even if it meant that lacy was there to stop him and maybe even darry who will yell at him.
sodapop drowned himself in the cheap beer, he hated the taste but had to not jump away from the drink. somehow, he managed to finish it all, learned not to order another one after.
"come on, soda, we gotta go." steve says, patting his shoulder.
"i just can't believe it though." sodapop scoffs, "she's keeping me away from my own child."
steve groans after having to hear him complain about lacy again.
"dude, you're going to see that child. now will you please relax?"
they hopped into sodapop's truck.
it was a long and quiet ride home for them. sodapop gripped the wheel as he kept thinking about lacy, he never thought he'd be this pissed at her.
to get her off his mind, he thought about his child, what his future looked like with them. he saw himself walking into a home with a little running up to hug him, spinning her around in his arms.
he just wished for that to happen.
