The Outsiders Preferences

2: You think he cheated(Part 1)

Dally: "Please doll let me come in," he says in a gentle voice.

"Go away Dallas," you yell.  "Just leave.  Go be with that tramp.  I know you want to."

"[Y/N], if I wanted to be with her I wouldn't be here trying to convince you that nothing happened between us.  She was just drunk and she slipped into my room.  As I was showing her the way out you happened to be at the door.  Come on babe why would I ever get back with Sylvia when I have a beautiful, amazing girlfriend like you?" Dally said.

Slowly you made your way over to the door.  "Do you really mean it Dal?" You whisper.

"Of course I do baby.  I wouldn't be wasting my time if you weren't worth it.  And you are."

You swung open the door and jumped into his arms.  "I love you so much Dal," you cry.

"I love you more, [Y/N]."

Sodapop: "Come on darling it wasn't what it seemed like," Soda pleaded.

"Oh yeah? Then what was it loverboy? Because it seemed to me like you were getting a bit too close," you said in a sarcastic tone.

"I was just ordering the popcorn and she came back with the bag and leaned forward until her chest was nearly touching my hand when I was passing her the money," he explained.

"I wasn't born yesterday Soda,  cut it out.  I just can't believe you would do that to me," you whimpered.  You sat down on one of the kitchen table chairs. Tears were welling in your eyes.  One small tear slipped down your cheek.

Soda kneeled down in front of you but he didn't touch you.  He didn't want to make you even more upset. "[Y/N], don't cry.  Don't cry love.  What do you want me to do to prove it to you? Should we go back to the drive in and confront her? I will make her apologize to you baby if that helps," he suggested.  Soda's blue eyes were full of sadness.  You knew he was innocent.

You sniffed and wiped you eyes with the back of your hand.  "No that won't prove anything.  She could just make something up.  And," you paused for a moment.  "I'm sorry for doubting you baby I don't even have any evidence.  I shouldn't  be making accusations like that," you said softly.

"Sshhhh.  It's okay love.  It was just a small misunderstanding," he said.

Darry: It was your boyfriend Darry's birthday today so you decided to leave work early.  When you got to the Curtis house, Darry wasn't downstairs making lunch so you asked Soda where he was.  He said Darry was upstairs so you tiptoed up the stairs, opened the door to his room and yelled surprise.  But to your own surprise, you saw a pink purse and a bright red lipstick on the bed.  At the foot of the bed, you found a pair of high black heels.  The room smelled like a floral perfume that had just been sprayed.  You couldn't believe it! There was a girl in Darry's room.  That meant he was probably cheating on you.  You tried to stay calm but instead you let out a high pitched scream.  Suddenly you heard quick, heavy footsteps in the hallway.  

"[Y/N]! I promise you it's not what it looks like," Darry said.  His hair was wet and there was a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Then what is it Darrel?" You are furious with him.  How could he do this to you? 

Then you hear Soda shuffling up the stairs.  "What's going on here?" He says clearly confused.

You ignore him.  "How long has this been going on? Why didn't you tell me you didn't want to be with me anymore? You didn't have to cheat on me," you said through gritted teeth.

"Baby girl I swear this is not what it looks like.  Even ask Soda," Darry turned to his brother.  "Soda, could you explain  to [Y/N] why there are girly items in my room?"

"Oh shoot, [Y/N].  I'm so sorry.  I forgot to tell you when you came in.  Our cousin Helen just arrived in Tulsa.  Darry told you about little Helen right?" Soda said embarrassed.  

Oh yes.  You had forgotten that the Curtises' cousin Helen was coming to stay for a month in Tulsa.  Now it was your turn to be embarrassed.  

"Oh baby I'm so sorry.  I forgot about Helen!  It's just that I walked into your room to surprise you and I saw a purse and lipstick and I just assumed the worse," you said feeling bad that you had screamed At Darry for no reason.  

"It's alright.  I can see you had some motives to be angry and doubtful.  Besides, I'm rooming with Ponyboy for now.  I let Helen stay in my room.  Just so you know," Darry said relieved.

"As for you Sodapop," you turned to him and smacked him.  "You should have reminded me when I asked where Darry was."

"Ouch!" Sodapop yelped. 

"So are we good now baby?" Darry said wrapping his arms around you from behind and kissing your cheek.  

You giggled.  "Yes baby.  Happy birthday."
