One kiss led to another, and another, until we were making out. Thinking about it it was wrong to make out with him in someone else's bathroom but in the moment I couldn't care less where we were. I hadn't kissed a guy or enjoyed kissing a guy in ages and Dally was the best kisser that I had ever had kiss me.

He kept his hands holding on tight around my waist and I had my hands on his back. We pulled away for air every few seconds and each time I saw the makeup smeared around Dally's lips, I could only imagine what my face looked like right now.

After a few minutes the bathroom door opened. We both pulled away from each others faces quickly and immediately looked at who was standing in the door frame. It was Soda, holding a cup of water and the ice pack that Dally yelled at him to get earlier. Upon seeing Dally's hands on my waist and lipstick smeared on both of our mouths Soda got a pretty good idea of what was going on before he had walked in. He panicked and threw the ice pack at us before slamming the door back. The ice pack was a plastic bag filled with ice cubes, the bag split open at the seal upon slamming into the counter that I was still sitting on. This sent ice all over the floor.

Dally smiled and shook his head before kissing me again. I shook my head and laughed, "We have to go apologize, and clean up the ice." I told him through my smile. I think I enjoyed the thrill of being caught, even though I was embarrassed. "I can clean up the ice pretty quick. Soda is fine he doesn't need an apology." Dally said already picking up the ice.

"No I don't want to be rude. I don't know these people like you do. That was disrespectful of me to make out with someone in a strangers bathroom." I said to Dally as I hopped off of the counter and cleaned the lipstick off of my face. Dally gave a dramatic sigh and said, "Whatever, they ain't strangers to me. You can make your apology quick." I wiped the lipstick off of his face as well and he handed me the ice pack.

We walked out of the bathroom and I felt like I was doing a walk of shame, surely he had told everyone else in the house. Dally looked like he was prideful though, I just looked and felt embarrassed. "I'm really sorry Soda. That was rude." I said feeling like I was about to get scolded, even though he didn't look angry at all. I was prepared for his mood to switch in an instant and me to get screamed at, I thought it would be like I was at home. If I got caught kissing a boy at home I'd be beat to death.

"It's alright, I don't care. Just surprised me you know. I didn't expect that." Soda said but I still didn't feel relieved. I was still tense, preparing my ears for the tone of voice that I was expecting to hear sooner or later. I thought that he was just acting and that he would start screaming eventually. I thanked him for his calm reaction despite being convinced that it was faked, then I turned around to look at Dally.

He looked down at me and put his hands on my hips. I motioned my hand for him to speak and he shook his head. "I ain't apologizing doll. I didn't do anything wrong. Everyone's fine." He said. I shrugged, knowing that he was right in the end.

"You can stay here tonight if you'd like Mari, the couch is empty." Soda said. I was shocked by his kindness to a practical stranger and half convinced that he was going to do something to me in my sleep. "That's ok but thank you. I couldn't do that to y'all." I said out of fear mostly. I did want to stay though, I didn't want to go home to my dad. I wanted take the screaming tomorrow.

"It's no harm to us. You might as well, it's really late, if you walk home you'll get hurt or something. It'll be just fine." Soda said, I would've thought he was being creepy if he didn't know about my dad at home. "Fine, but just this once. I don't want to cost y'all anything. Thank you" I said. "I'm sleeping here too, I'm really tired man." Dally said with urgency as soon as I closed my mouth. I was thankful that he was staying as well. I felt safe around him and had the thought in my mind that he would protect me if he could, regardless if that was true or not.

"Sit down." Dally told me as he pointed at the couch. I did as I was told and sat down on the cushion that he seemed to be pointing at. Dally sat down right beside me despite the room on the other side of the couch, I was glad that he sat beside of me though. He gently placed his hand on my head before moving my head to lay against his shoulder. I tried to fight falling asleep so soon but I quickly lost. I was scared to fall asleep as well. I didn't want to have another nightmare and do something involuntary because of the nightmare, I often wake up kicking or screaming. It makes my dad unbelievably angry. His warmth and the smell of cigarettes seemed to melt me. My eyes practically closed on their own, leading me to fall asleep in mere seconds.

She was out almost immediately, I could tell. Her body was tensed up. I thought she must have been uncomfortable on the couch, the couch wasn't the nicest but it was way better than Bucks that she slept on last night. I held her close and studied her face, hoping that she wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

She was gorgeous, even more beautiful when she's awake. I had gotten opportunities to study her face before when she's been zoned out, and I don't care if I have a staring problem. She didn't really look peaceful though, just asleep. Her fists were clenched and she moved around a lot despite her muscles being continuously clenched.

I've thought that she was very beautiful from the beginning, I wanted her for reasons that I couldn't put my finger on. I wanted to be with her and keep her safe, I wanted her as mine. I dished out cigarettes and physical affection in hopes that she would be my girl and it would become second nature for me.

"Poor girl." I heard Soda say which made me immediately turn my head to him and make a confused expression, he better give a good explanation for that. "Oh I shouldn't say anything, it's not my place." Soda said, moving his hands in front of his chest. "Then why the h**l would you mention it Soda?" I hated that, when someone brings something up with the intentions of leaving you confused.

I wondered what could be so horrible. I've heard from people that thrive off gossip that she's crazy, but I don't care, it honestly intrigues me more. People think I'm crazy to, we could be a nice pair. I did hope that she was alright though. Anything that she needed I'd give it to her, anything.

I wanted her as my girl badly. I couldn't help but be drawn to her, like she was a prize that I was desperately trying to win. I watched her do her job, I watched as she rejected numbers left and right. I watched as she rejected Two-bit that night, who was sober and just trying to help me out, but she accepted me. She let me take her out, she fell asleep on me. She seemed to be drawn to me too. I hoped that she was, I hoped that we had something. Real feelings that I hadn't felt before were a scary thing to think about, but regardless I still hoped that they were there. That we were somehow connected by an invisible string.
