Can It Be,My Best Friend (Sodapop Curtis Love Story)

I'm Scared Too

After a while I got up from my crying position on the ground. I wiped my tears away and was ready to face Soda.
I slowly walked up the stairs curious and unsure on the events to come. I hesitantly opened the door to our small bedroom and saw Sodapop sitting at the foot of our bed with his head in his hands.
He heard me come in and picked up his head to look at me. His eyes were red, as if he had been crying.
"I'm sorry for what I did earlier but I am just shocked and scared." He said with a soft tone
"I know so am I. But we can handle it if we try I know we can." I replied.
Nodding his head in agreement he said " We can but we are still kids ourselves and we're gonna need help."
"We have help. We have the gang, and my family."
"I know but the gang can barely take care of themselves." he retorted slightly raising his voice.
I let out a deep sigh. "Your negative attitude isn't going to help. So that's enough for tonight and we will figure the rest out when the time comes." I said feeling defeated.
"Let's go to bed." Soda said sleepily.
I nodded my head and put my pajamas on and crawled into bed with Soda. He tightly wrapped his arms around me and whispered "I love you." into my ear. Something that has become a nightly routine.
I felt my eyelids become heavy as I drifted into a deep and well needed slumber.
I woke up the following morning. It was Sunday thank God. That meant a day off.
I woke up early and made Soda breakfast. Fried eggs and grape jelly.
Sodapop, food." I hollered and he came runnin' down the stairs like a child on Christmas. Food was one of those things that just spoke to him. That and cars.
I handed him a plate and we sat down at the kitchen table. We acted like we were still little kids the while time. We laughed talked and ended up throwing food at each other by the end.
"Okay that's enough." I said taking the plate over to the sink killing our fun.
A pouty expression took over his face an I started cracking up at his childishness. The two of us were kids at heart.
I walked up the stairs with him following behind me.
I started to get ready for the day. I was in my bra and underwear when Soda came up from behind ms and wrapped his arms around my waist.
You're perfect he said as he kissed my neck.
He spun me around so I was facing him. Our faces moved closer to one another's.
As his lips were just brushing up against mine he said "I'm sorry for last night."
It's fine I hastily replied before I smashed me lips onto his.
