It Started At The Record Store (Ponyboy X Reader)

Part 21

I love you Ponyboy.

I love you so much, and will try so hard to never ever hurt you like you did me.

"Y/n, are you going to get up for school?" Mom pokes her head into my bed room and I shake my head slightly.

"Not today." I mutter, "No thank you."

"Sweetie... your dad is coming home today." She reminds me, "And I don't think he'll want to see you like this."

"Like what?" I snap, sitting up.

"That." She rolls her eyes, "Clean the house, and tomorrow you will be going to school. "

She shuts the door, and I groan angrily.

I know I've been moody, since the whole thing with Pony... and I feel bad about being so snappy but I just can't help it. I also, have skipped three days of school to avoid him.

I'm so confused.

It's like I can't keep my head straight, and keep my thoughts organized. It gives me a complete headache.

Pony has called several times, and I just ignored the calls. I would tell my mom just not to answer it.

I am being completely, and utterly vain, I know.

"Ugh." I whisper, sliding out of bed.

I put on my knee length skirt on, tucking in my tight bright red shirt. I put on my flower print head band, and step out into the empty hallway.

Mom probably left... I snapped at her this morning, and she got angry.

My body freezes as I hear the front door shut. The sound of my mothers steps weren't heard. My mom wears heels, so her footsteps are click click click.

These aren't hers.

I reach for the broom and tip toe down the hall, taking a deep breath I turn around the corner.

I squeeze my eyes shut and just swing.

"Ah!" I hear a familiar grunt.

I open my eyes, and gasp. I throw the broom aside.

"Pony!" I shout, watching him rub the top of his head, "Oh my God! I'm sorry!"

I place my hand on his head, my fingers feeling the grease in his dark brown hair.

"How did you get in?"

"The door was unlocked.." He moans, "I didn't mean to scare you.."

"Well... you did."I furrow my eyebrows, "Why are you here?"

"Ya haven't been at school for three days, and you haven't answered my calls." His eyes look completely lost, as if he is a small child who can't find his mother in the park.

"I-.."I cut myself short at the first word, and shake my head, "I've been having a rough time.."

It is hard to look him in the face. Am I angry at him? No.. It isn't that. Am I ashamed? No! It isn't that either.

"Y/n, why are you being so recluse?" He put his hands on my shoulders, "Please don't be distant.."

My eyes drop, and the words just came, "Ponyboy... I don't think we should keep dating."

I glance up, and his face was wiped of emotion. His eyebrows furrowed, and he frowned.

"No, I think we should." He suddenly blurts out, "Because you are the best person I'll ever meet. I screwed up, and I need to just prove to you that I'm worth keepin 'round."

"Pony..." I murmur.

"No one has ever kept me around for as long as you have..." He pulls me into a hug, "Please don't leave me.."

"Okay... I'm sorry, I didn't.. I didn't know what I was saying." I kiss his neck, holding him tighter, "I'm sorry Pony.."

"Please don't say things like that." He digs his face into my shoulder, "I know you're havin a hard time right now, but I want to help you."

"I know.." I whisper, lifting his face up, "I know you want to help, but I don't know how you can."

"Maybe.." He mutters, placing hisnhands on my waist, "Like this."

I flush slightly, as he leans in and places some kisses on my neck. He lifts his face back up and kisses me gently, bringing one hand up and pushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

I put my hand on his face to deepen the kiss, taking short breaths in between kisses. He pulls away, and smiles.

"Don't avoid me anymore, okay?"

I nod, and continue the kiss, his lips become more passionate and he pushes be backword so I'm against the kitchen table. I put my hands in his hair, messing it up and I can feel a smile as he kisses me.

He lifts me up so I'm sitting on the table, and he places his hands on my dry, knees. I wrap my arms around his neck, and pull him lower, deeper into the kiss.

Then I hear the door handle jiggle.
