Matt and I were driving to the dingo after we had went to the movies. "What did you think of the movie?" "It was good" I say and smile at him when we get there he open my door for me. "Thanks" I say and he smiles. I'm glad I gave this a chance he's a great guy. We were holdings hands on top of the table and talking when you know who has to come in. Ponyboy sees me and walks up "I'm sorry" he says "ponyboy not a good time" I say "But I need to apologize" he says "Well I'm on a date right now. So it can wait" I say and then smile sweetly at Matt , ponyboy looks to Matt and his eyes take on a dark look. Ponyboy grabs my wrist tightly and pulls me outside. "What the hell!" He yells "what I'm on a date" I say he looks at me with a crazy look and it scares me "Why!?" "He asked me out" I say quickly "So you said yes! Are you trying to make me jealous!?" "What!? No!" I say. "Then why!?" "Because he's a sweet guy" I say "I'm sweet!" "No. No your not, at least not anymore" he looks at me "But its him couldn't you pick someone else to make me jealous" "its not about you! You drove me to Matt! He was there for me when you weren't!" I feel myself close to tears "I just thought that you would always be there for me and I for you. But it was a fools dream. But I realized Matt was always there even if I didn't notice but you made me realize it." I say ponyboy let's go of my wrist and says "It wasn't a fool dream. It was young love" he says and leaves.

I walk down the street in the middle of the night unable to sleep. Am I making a mistake? Is Matt the right guy? Do I love ponyboy? Well duh. Of course you love ponyboy or at least the more younger,naive pony. I go to the park and sit on the fountain. Why do I always make a mistake. I shouldn't of agreed to that date or give into that kiss. But I'm not gonna break up with him because I'm having second thoughts for a couple minutes. Matt is really a great guy tho. "Couldn't sleep ether?" Ponyboy asks walking up to the fountain. It kinda makes me worry to see him here so late and nobody around.
I'm starting to be a little afraid of ponyboy wow I must sound crazy right now. But he's um more violent then the last time. I sit on my hands so there's no way he can grab my wrists he comes and stands in front of me. "Hey" he says "hi" I say nervously and ponyboy sees I'm nervous. "Hey are you alright?" "Yeah I'm fine nothing to worry about" I say quickly and add a nervous laughter. He steps forward and I lean back and I fall in. I sit up and spit out water and begin crying and I don't know why. "Mariah what's wrong" ponyboy says putting his hand out to help me up "I'm fine" I say and just stay sitting in the water. "Your not fine, last year you wouldn't even of hesitated grabbing my hand" "Why are you making everything about you" "Well um uh?" He says. We stay where we are for a while not speaking "Cmon you should get out of that water" he says "Nah its a nice night for a swim" I say and splash a little. "Mariah its late at night and its freezing" he says "Well um uh its still a great night" I say and look up at the stars. Ponyboy study's me for a while then sighs "Are you afraid of me?" He asks and I don't even know what to say. "I don't know, I guess" I say "I'm sorry" he says "I know I know me saying it isn't doing anything." "Your more angry now" I say. "C'mon please get out of that water your going to get sick. And I'll keep my distance if it makes you feel better" "What happened to us? I never would of thought you would ever have to say something like that" I say "I don't know. But I wish we could fix it" I get up and out of the water and walk towards ponyboy. He open his arms as if he's reading my mind and I rest my head on his shoulder. "We can always try our best" I say and stay in his embrace for a while. "You wanna go back to the house?" Pony asks I nod and he picks me up bridal style and I put my arms around his neck and rest my head on his chest.
"So you and cherry huh" I say while listening to that familiar heartbeat. Ponyboy sighs "Yeah. You and Matt?" I also sigh "Yeah he's real nice" I say "so how are you and cherry doing?" "Alright I guess. She isn't like you" "But hey you finally got the cherry you wanted" ponyboy sighs in annoyance "I told you I never wanted cherry" "Then why did you start dating her when I left"

he stops talking.

We get to his house and of course everybody is asleep its like two in the morning. Soda wasnt here so we went to there room to talk or whatever. We sit side by side on his bed "We haven't really talk for a while" "I know" "I missed it" "So did I" "Why did you stop calling me?" I ask and he takes a minute to answer "I don't know. I got busy or maybe it was because of cherry" he says and lean his head on mine. "Oh okay" "So I'm sorry about your mom" he says "did you mean what you said, you know about my mom" I say softly he kisses the top of my head "no that was on an angry impulse and I regret saying that to you" "But do you think its true?" I ask he put his arm around my shoulder "No it isn't true I'm sure she loved you" "she left me a letter" I say and rest my head on his shoulder. "Have you read it?" "No I don't think I would be able to handle it" "I know I haven't been really supportive or there for you but I am here" he says

"I love you"

we both say at the same time. Then without talking or thinking we begin kissing. Our lips moving in sync and my running my fingers though his hair. We only pulled back for air and that when it hits me.

Your with Matt!

"I gotta go" I say and hurry out of the room before he can say anything. Idiot! I'm with Matt! How can I do this to him, I'm a horrible person! What will he think!? I'm not hiding this from him that will just makes it worst. I need to tell him and just hope he forgives me.

I run to Matt's and knock on the door. Five minutes later Matt opens the door dress only in his boxers. He looks like he just woke up and I then realize its like five in the morning he looks at me happy and confused. "Hey. Is everything alright?" He asks "I'm sorry! Its just a big mistake! I wasn't thinking! I'm-" Matt cuts me off by softly kissing me. "Clam down. Come inside and you can explain. Are you all wet?" He asks and I nod "just stay here make yourself at home. I'll bring you a towel" Matt says and go upstairs. A couple minutes later he comes back down with shorts on but no shirt leaving his muscular chest exposed. "Here I don't want you getting sick. The bathroom is right over there" he says and hands me a towel,A white T-shirt, and basketball shorts.
I change and walk back to the living room where Matt was waiting. He smiles "You look good" he says I smile. The shirt was of course big on me. "I'll make us
breakfast" Matt says and goes to the kitchen and I follow him. "So what did you want to tell me or did you just want to see me" "I....um...ikissedponyboy" I say quickly Matt looks at me confused "sorry what I didn't catch what you said" "ponyboy and I kissed. But I wasn't thinking! I regretted it as soon after! I'm sorry!" I say and the hurt is clear on his face. He doesn't say anything for a while he clears his throat and says "I think you should leave. If you want I'll give you a ride"

Man. Even when he's hurt he's a nice guy. So.
