Torn up || the Outsiders fanfiction

"Best friends"

     It's been a week since Ponyboy almost died and you've been staying with him everyday. You loved Ponyboy so much. You took care of him and he was a lot better. He was mad because he was good enough to get outta bed but the doctor said 2 weeks and it's only been 1.
     You were sitting at the end of the bed just thinking. You hear a little groan and see Pony waking up. "Good mornin' sunshine." You smile gently grabbing his leg. He smiles back, he looks sleepy. "Good mornin' baby." He says groggy. You crawl up into bed with him. He kisses you on the forehead and looks at you, "so what are you gonna do today?" He asks you. "I think I might go home. I don't think the old folks are gonna be too happy with me not bein' home for weeks." You answer. "Mmm." He groans rolling over. You lean over his body and kiss him on the cheek I'll see ya later." You say and slowly get outta bed. You walk out of the room to see two-bit sitting on the ground with beer watching Mickey and Steve with a whole chocolate cake on the couch behind him. I grab my coat and giggle, "Two-bit, you know there's a couch for a reason." Two-bit is too into his show to answer. Steve looks at you with chocolate all over his face. You laugh and his eyes return to the tv screen. You shake your head laughing, "Bye guys." And you head out the door. You see Cherry walking up to the house. "Cherry? What are you doin' here?" You question her. "I'm just goin' to check on Ponyboy." She says kinda quickly. "Ok.. Bye." You say curiously. You shake your head and realize you're jealous. You can't be jealous, Cherry's your best friend, she's just going to check on Ponyboy. But since when does she even care about greasers besides you? She would barely even look at Pony when you started datin' and even when he got hurt! No, no, no. You're gettin' to yourself. You just need to go home and see your folks for a few hours to tell them you're okay and then can see Pony again.

Cherry's pov
I have a plan for revenge. I mean after all (y/n) did kiss Bob and make me break up with him. I walk into the Curtis' house and see two-butt and Steve. I slip my shoes off wondering why they call him two-butt, that's such a strange name. I walk past them and head to Pony's room. I stop right in front of his door and look at them, they're staring at me. "What, have you never seen a soc before?" I question them. "What's a soc doin' talkin' to greasers like us." Steve says. Two-butt stands up "yeah what are ya doin' here anyways." "I'm being generous and takin' time in my life to actually be nice. Is that okay two-butt?" Suddenly Steve and Two-butt break into hysterics. I look at them. "What's so funny?" I ask getting a little agitated. Steve calmed down enough to manage to spit out "the kids name is Two-bit!" He slaps his knee and starts dying laughing again. I huff and roll my eyes trying my best to not be embarrassed. Pony opens door and rubs his eyes. "What's goin' on?" He asks and then sees me. "Cherry Valance? What're you doin' here?" "Oh Ponyboy, perfect you're awake!" I say and shove him back into his room and shut the door. I can still hear Steve and Two-bit laughing. "So why are you he-" I interrupt him by pushing him against the wall and kissing him. He shoves me away "what the hell are you doin'!" He yells at me. I step closer and he turns his head away. I trace my finger down his jawline and turn his head towards me. "C'mon Pony, why would you want a dirty old greaser when you could have a pretty soc like me." I look in his eyes. "Because as a matter of fact that so called 'dirty greaser' is more beautiful than you'll ever be." He says pushing me away again. "Ya know that's your best friend yer talkin' trash about." He sits down on the edge of the bed. I walk over to him and sit down beside him. "Yeah well she did something that I didn't deserve." I say getting agitated once again. "Oh really?" Pony says, "and what was that thing?" He emphasizes the word thing. "She made out with my boyfriend. Oh yeah and pretty much made me break up with him." I look at my nails and back to Pony. "Actually I almost died tryin' to save her from your boyfriend." Before he could continue I interrupt "ex-boyfriend." "Yeah, whatever," he continues "Bob wouldn't stop tryin' to make out with her and she was screamin' for help. Also you broke up with him because he was a no good jerk who was always drunk and makin' bad decisions." "Mhm, say what makes you happy Ponyboy." He shakes his head in anger "I can't believe you." I stand up, dust my dress off, and say "well I better get goin'." I say turning away to leave. He stands up and I put my finger up. "Oh yeah, one more thing." I turn to face Pony and kiss him again. He pushes me off and wipes his mouth on his arm. I giggle and leave.
