Steve's pov
()

I went to the Curtis house a few days after I talk to darry about the whole... uh
Proposal
I needed to see if pony found sodas ring size

I walked in and saw pony on the couch.
He popped up and took me outside

"So what you know?"
"It's a nine."
"How did u find out?"
"I got my ways."
"Im scared."
"Eh it was simple. Him and twobit have the same hand size."
"How do you know that?"
"When they painted the porch when we moved in. They left two hand prints in orange paint."
He pointed to the ground and no shit. Same hand size.
Weird.
"So how did you find out twobits?"
"I found a bread tie and told him to tie it around his ring finger because it was the only ring he would ever get. He did and I took it and got the size. My friend at school dad's owns a jewelry shop"
"Damn. Thats commitment"
"Took two days"
"Well thanks."
"No problem- don't break his heart or nothing or I'll break ur jaw."
"Oh"
He nodded and headed inside

I drove back to my house and grabbed some cash

Went to a jewelry store and got a nice plane simple silver band.

I showed pony when I got back and he was happy that I was finally doing it.

Few hours later

Darrel came in the house with cool news

Darrel had gotten a pay raise
He was planning on making an add on to the house.
For more room in the house and so soda and pony could have there own rooms

And for other reasons you can figure out your self

Soda was happy and I was too
He was finally getting his own room.

Twobit said
"Make thicker walls in sodas room while you're at it!"
Everyone laughed

Dallas then whispered loudly to Darry
"Your gonna need thick walls too for-" *smack*
Darry covered Dallys mouth with his hand
"Nope!"

No one heard besides me and soda we immediately turned to each-other.

"We can't do it here and you know that!"
Darry angrily

6 pm.

I was gonna propose tonight.
It was perfect.
We would go to the drive in and then the lot. In the light of the fire I would do it.

I slid the box into my glove box of my car and soda and I got in and we drove to the drive in.

I wasn't paying attention I was to nervous

"You alright hun?" Soda asked placing his hand on my knee
"Yeah"
I smiled

Idk if it was the proposal or something was wrong. I could feel it.
I'm just in my head.

After the movie we went to the lot
On the way to the car
"Hey you dirty greasers! Let lost hoods!" Some socs called
We were used to it.

We drove to the lot and I felt weird the whole way there.

When we got there we started a fire in a pit and sat down.

"It's nice and warm"  soda said
"Yeah it's a fire soda.."
"No really? Yes I know that"

He kissed me
We held eachother for a while
Until we heard a car pull up.
No truck.
A fancy one.

"Guess you were right ey?"  Some guy said
"Yeah looks like we got ourselves two homos."

Me and soda got up

There were 5 of them.
Fuck

"Should we run?"
"No it's fine.. I'm sure it will be fine.. it will make it worse"

"We don't want problems man" I said
"Neither do we. And your a problem."
One yelled a slur
Causing the others to drunkly laugh

"Go"

We booked it

My legs burned

The car was the other way

They where faster and got us both

I got the ground hard
Soda more elegantly

They didn't do anything to soda

They just held him down and his head pointed towards me

3 of them had me down
2 had soda

"Steve!" Soda yelled

I grunted trying to break loose

I socked one in the nose and he held my throat to the ground

Soda
()
The held me down making me face Steve

They where gonna hurt him

I yelled for him and they just held him and me tighter

*click*

"STEVE!"

()
Steve
()
I heard the click and my heart stopped
Fuck

"Hold him."
"We are!"
"Make his friend watch"

They laid me on my back and held my arms to my back

The twisted me neck to face soda who was in the same spot I was

I felt a hold hand grab my shirt and lift it up to my armpit and held it while he took his other hand and held a knife to my side

Soda looked at me terrified
"STEVE!"
I flashed a smile before I felt the cold knife stab me and go up my entire torso
I yelped and they started laughing

"That's what you get. Your dead. We slashed your tires. You're gonna die before you get to the hospital."

I heard Steve yelp and the soc talk
It was drowned out

I was frozen I felt my eyes get fuzzy

"Your dead greaser. I hope that kids was good. Cus it's your last."
He stomped on Steve's side

"And you. Your boyfriend is a goner. I was planning on killing you too. But eh. Maybe another day"
They sat me up and he kicked my ribs before they all ran off.

I ran to Steve

I grabbed him bridal style and ran.
I ran for my life.
All I had.
You're not dieing on me Steve.
