Traitor

"Well look what we have here." That voice was so familiar. Your vision becomes clear and you see... it's bob. You see someone getting out of the blue mustang that was behind him. They walk up to bob and kiss him on the cheek. It's Cherry. "Cherry?!" You say in shock. "Hello, (y/n)" she replies. Bob puts his arm around her. "Cherry what are you doing here?" You ask her. "Just having some fun with my boyfriend." She shrugs. You stand up and stumble to regain your balance. "Please," you plead, "please just let me go this once, I've done nothin to ya. Please." You beg them. "Ugh, you're no fun." Cherry says. "Cmon baby." Bob says. "Fine." Cherry rolls her eyes and they get back in the mustang and drive off. You let out a big huff, "thank god." You mutter. You stumble off to the lot.

     It took a while to walk to the lot cause you were tired. It's been a long day. You sit down to think. You feel a gentle hand on your shoulder. "Can I sit with ya?" You hear a calm voice talkin' behind you. You could tell it was Johnny as soon as he touched ya. "Yeah, of course Johnny."

You and Johnny were both really alike. You both weren't wanted at home. You've both gone through a lot. So y'all love talkin' to each other.

Johnny sits down beside you. "So how's the drama goin with you and Pony," he gets confused, "or you and Soda?" You laugh slightly but it was fake. "Yeah... not so good right now, Johnny." "What do ya mean?" He looks at you. "Well, Soda and Pony are getting in a fight over some stupid girl an," before you can continue Johnny interrupts, "No (y/n), you've got it all wrong. You're not stupid. You're an amazing, smart talented girl and anyone would be extremely lucky to have you." "Johnny.." you're speechless. "Ain't nobody ever said nothin' that nice to me before." You look at the ground. He places a finger under your chin and lifts your head up so you're lookin' into each other's eyes. "You're perfect." He says. And with that he kisses you. You're startled at the start but slowly melt into it.
You never really thought about datin' anybody else other than Ponyboy or maybe Sodapop. Especially not Johnny. But as you kiss the only things goin' through your head are all the things Johnny's ever done for you. He's been so sweet. He's nice in general but to you he was pushing limits. Johnny liked you. And you never noticed. You pull away slowly and bite your lip. You look away a little not knowing what to say. "Johnny, I- um-" Johnny shakes his head. "I know," he starts standing up, "I shouldn't have done that, I mean you and my best friend are pretty much together and-" you grab his arm and pull him down so he's sitting again. "No Johnny..." you say quietly, "I liked it." You give him a little smile and he gives a little smile back. "I actually kinda needed that. You got my mind off of things, thank you." You say. He hides a big smile.
You both sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Johnny speaks up. "Hey (y/n), you don't have anywhere to go tonight do ya?" You shake your head and say quietly, "no." "Well you can uh- stay here. I mean only if you want, if you have nowheres to go or anything." You giggle at his awkwardness, "I'll stay Johnny." Then you yawn. "I'm tired too." He smiles. You lay down and adjust your body to try to get comfy but it seems impossible. "Here," Johnny says wiggling his arm under your body and placing the other one on top of you. You smile and he can tell you're smiling. You fall asleep cuddling.

      You wake up. You feel Johnny isn't cuddling anymore so you look around. He's not there. Maybe he went to see his folks or maybe the gang or somethin'. You think to yourself. You stand up to stretch and decide to head on over to the Curtis' house. You get there and walk in. The only person you see is Ponyboy on the couch. He stands up instantly and almost runs over to you. You close the door and he pushes you against it kissing you passionately. He pulls away for a split second to say "I've made up my mind. I choose you, (y/n)." Before kissing you again. "I'm glad." You say smiling as he still kisses you. You love it but you put a hand on his chest. You push him away a little so you can speak. "But Pony, where is everyone?" He kisses you again. "Steve and Sodapop went to the dx, Darry's at work, Johnny is with his folks, Two went to a party, and dally.." he pauses, "Dally's probably doin' somethin' illegal." He smiles and laughs. He picks you up and takes you over the couch still kissing you. He takes off his shirt. "Ponyboy, what are you doing?" You ask him sitting up. "Just wait I'm sure Soda has a thing." He starts gettin' up and you pull him back by the arm. "No Pony. You just turned fourteen." He takes a huff then sits down beside you again."Yeah but I'm sure you'd have no problem with doin' anything like that with Sodapop." "No Ponyboy! It's not like that! I'm only fifteen years old am I don't wanna do nothin' more than what we do! I'm not ready yet!" You say almost yellin' at him. "But I thought that's why you wanted Sodapop an not me.." he looks down. "Ponyboy.." you rest a hand on his shoulder and continue, "I was just mad at the time. I don't know what I was doin'. It was real stupid of me. An I stilled liked you. I've never stopped likin' you. It's always been you.." You reply. He looks into your eyes and jumps on you playfully and kisses you. "You know I love you." He says, his voice husky. "I love you more." And you kiss him.
You cuddled on the couch for a while AN you really liked it, it reminded you of all the good times before that drama with Cherry happened. Then all of a sudden, Johnny walked in on you and Pony kissin'. "Um hey.." you hear and your heads shoot up and you both sit up quickly. "Oh um, hey Johnnycake." Pony says rubbing the back of his neck. Johnny leans over more to look right at you, "hey (y/n)." He makes a face awkwardly and you blush. You don't know what to do, it's so awkward. "Well this prolly ain't the best time to be here right now. I'll be back in a bit." Johnny says still with an awkward face. He nods his head, takes a breathe, and leaves. Ponyboy chuckles and you giggle. Johnny didn't think that kiss between you an' him really meant anything... did he?
