The Outsiders (Jess's story)

What happens now?

"What's wrong?" Soda said looking at me with worried eyes. I looked him over, he is beautiful.  How could i be thinking this? This is Soda we are talking about. "I know there is something wrong Jess. Just tell me."

"It doesn't matter Soda." I tried to say without my voice cracking. Of course there is something wrong, Dallas is using me. How could I be so stupid? 

"It does to me. I care about you a lot. So, why dont you tell me whats wrong?" Soda said looking at me with puppy dog eyes.

"Dallas Winston and his good for nothing brother." I said wiping a tear from my eye. "And could you tell me who Sylvia is?"

"Well, Sylvia is Dal's ex." He said standing up and grabbing some pants and a shirt. He threw them on and came back over and sat on the couch. 

"If she is his ex then why are they kissing?" Once I said this Soda looked shocked. 

"Did you see them? Or did someone tell you?" 

"Dan told me, but Dallas never said it wasn't true." I said tears now gushing down my face. Soda wiped them away. It seemed like forever we sat there. Just looking at eachother. Finnally he leaned in to kiss me, and i kissed him back. Shivers ran down my neck. What was I doing? 

"Hey Soda, I think I'm...." Ponyboy said walking out of his room and stopping when he saw me and Soda kissing. We both jerked back when we heard Pony.  "What's going on?"

"Pony, you can't tell anyone. No one. At all." Soda said standing up and helping Ponyboy to the couch. 

"Got it. No one. But could you tell me why?" He said looking over at me. "Because I know your with Dallas. It's really messed up if you are with him still. Your still with him right?"

"I don't know anymore Pony. I've heard some stuff. Dal and me got in a 'fight'... kind of."

"Then why are you here kissing my brother?"

"Alright Pon, I think thats enough information right now. Just promise not to tell anyone?" Soda said from the chair he had sat down in. 

"Yeah I promise." Pony said standing up and walking into the kitchen. Two-bit walked in and looked at us.

"Whats with all the sad faces in here?" He said plopping down on the couch next to me. 

"Oh nothing. We should go do something." I said to Two-bit smiling. 

"Whatcha wanna go do?" He said looking at me weird. 

"I want some fries. Wanna go to the Dingo?" I said standing up.

"Um, yeah sure." Two-bit said also standing up. "Anyone else wanna come with us?" 

"Nah, ya'll go." Soda said looking at Pony shuffle around the kitchen.

 When Two-bit and I got to the dingo I went and ordered a coke and medium fries. Two-bit still was looking at me like I had fallen down a well and just got out. 

"So, Two-bit, how've you been?" I said taking the attention away from me. 

"I'm great. Now whats wrong with you?" He said bringing the attention back to me. 

"Me too." Lieing to his face. He knew it too. 

"Alright, now whats up with you and Dally then?"

"What do you mean?" I said acting dumb. 

"I heard from Dan that you two split." And thats when Dallas walked in with some brunette.
