Warning the outsiders and winning Johnny cade

Chapter twenty eight

I said thank you to two bit for driving me and he hung out a bit.
"Hey Anne how was your date?"
Soda said cracking himself up.
"Yeah how'd it go with the new boy?"
Steve said sliding out from under a car laughing.
"It wasn't a date and it was good. Great actually, we're hanging out again tomorrow night."
"Ooooooooh" they all said laughing their heads off.
After I yelled at them playfully we went on with our day.
Later at the house we were about to have a game night. Me and soda were setting up.
"Sooooo Sodapop, when are you going to find someone huh?"
"Well I guess to tell the truth. I'm scared. I'm scared to find someone and have them not like me as much as I like them, I'm scared to be hurt again. I guess I just don't trust people no more."
"Soda not everyone's like Sandy, it was two years ago. And guess what? It was her loss because you are a great caring understanding funny smart and cheerful guy and anyone would be lucky to have you. It's okay to trust people. But it's so okay not to if you need more time to heal.
After that we played all kinds of games with the gang. It was a lot of fun. We played and played all night. The only bad thing about it was Johnny. I mean he was acting normal but there was tension and it was awkward. But I tried to ignore it and all in all it was a good night.
About two weeks passed and me and Jacob had hung out quite a few times. He had asked me to be his girl friend about a week ago. I met his family and they were all very nice. His twin was like Jacob just a little more out going. Jacob was the taller and cuter twin. Only by a couple inches though. But we had fun every time we hung out.
One morning I got up and ready for work and me steve and soda drove there. The whole time I couldn't stop thinking about Jacob.
After work I got ready for a date we were going to. We were supposed to meet at the nightly double. It was around eight when we were supposed to meet. I walked there alone since it was going to be a date and it wasn't very far. I got there and looked for Jacob where we were supposed to meet up. He wasn't there. I stood there waiting for thirty minutes and he didn't show. I sat down waiting and an hour had gone by. After a while I was kinda over it so I sat in the one of the seats. It was another hour and it got really dark so I decided to go look for Jacob. I looked at the meeting spot and he wasn't there. I looked on the grass he wasn't there. I looked at the concessions and he wasn't there. I was looking through the cars and then I was going  to go home. I thought maybe he just forgot or didn't understand where we were going. I was just tired. I was looking and then something caught my eye. It looked like Jacobs car. It was impossible why would he be here if not with me? Maybe it was just someone who had the same car or maybe it was just Jacob and his twin and something happened so his brother really wanted to go and he couldn't tell me last minuet or something I don't know. I walked up to the car and looked into the windshield to see if it was him.
I wasn't expecting what I saw. He was in there with someone alright. It just wasn't his brother (his brother's name is cal short for calum btw). And they weren't watching the movie. He was making out with some random blonde.
I was sad but in that moment I kinda was but not really. I was just done. Done with the cheaters. Done with the dirty liars and heartbreakers. Done with everything. I didn't even want an explanation I just wanted to let him know I knew and that we're done. Did that girl even know he had a girlfriend? He was probably playing her like he was me. I opened the passenger side door fast, looked her straight in the eyes and said
"Don't trust him. He's playing you. I thought he was a nice guy and apparently I just found out he's a cheater. I WAS his girl friend. Not anymore."
With that I slammed the door and being pissed fast walked out of there. I heard behind me the girl giving out a mad surprised scream if you know what I mean and I heard the door slam.
I got out of there and started walking home. Taking my time. I needed to clear my head. It's like I wanted time to think about stuff but I didn't want to think about it. It was too hard for right now. Too much work. So I just tried not to think about it. I pretended like I didn't care. And I kind of didn't. But I really did. I wouldn't show it and wouldn't let myself know it, but if I allowed myself to, I'd be crying. So I got in a hardened mood. A "I'm done with everything" mood. A "I don't give a fuck mood". I'd give myself a break for a while and did that until I got home. Then I would break down. Then I would try to process everything. But right now, I took my time walking home. Enjoying the coolness of the air.
