You heard your parents shout at your seventeen-year-old boyfriend, Sodapop. You heard a door slam and your father continued yelling. He let out a string of curse words, along with Soda's name.
You were confused with all the chaos going on downstairs. You rushed toward the living room. Your father's face was flushed red and your mother was on the verge of tears.
"W-What's wrong?" You asked.
Your parents turned to you so quickly, you thought they'd gotten whiplash.
"Your boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, came to us and asked for your hand in marriage!" Your mom scoffed.
"Ex-boyfriend? I didn't even break up with him!" You exclaimed.
Your dad frowned,"That's because we broke up with him for you. You are not marrying at this age."
You gasped. You love Sodapop. They know how much you love him. You shook your head and stormed out the door. You ran all the way to the Curtis' house. You caught Sodapop sitting in the front with a cigarette in his mouth.
You've rarely seen Soda smoke. You walked over to him and sat by his side.
You spoke up,"You know... I would've said yes."
He smiled at you,"I know." He paused,"Will you marry me?" He stepped on his cancer stick.
Tears of joy began waterfalling down your cheeks,"Sodapop...of course!"
You two jumped up in excitement and placed a passionate kiss on each other's lips.
"What's going on?" Darry and Ponyboy rushed out the front door.
Soda wrapped an arm around your shoulder and pulled you close,"We're getting married!"
