Take Me As I Am || D.W

Chapter 5.

I look at Dallas, who's eyes are wider than mine, I grab his wrist. "We need to talk." I whisper so low that only he can hear it. I pull him into Ponyboy's room and slam the door.

"What the hell was that?!" I yell at his face. I was really irritated with Dallas, and I needed answers.

"I don't know.." He says a little too quiet. "We're not dating, you know that don't you?" I began to calm down, I hate arguing with Dally, even though we argue almost everyday, about stupid things really. But never something like this.

He nods slowly and sits on Ponyboy's bed. "I wish we were." He mumbles. Oh.

"What?" I shot my head to face him. He looked at me with sorrow on his face. He got up to face me. I swore I thought I was hearing things. "What did you just say?" I repeat.

"Nothing.. Nevermind." He looks away from me. I fucking hate when he doesn't answer me. I was really getting pissed off. "I'm asking you a question.. What did you just say?" I say the words a bit pissed off but calm.

"Nothing, Yuli! Just forget it! God, why are you so fucking complicated?! I said something but I regret saying it! That's why I'm not repeating it. Let it go will you?!" When his words left his mouth, I was done. I was done with Dallas. Tears filled my eyes.

"I think you should go." I choke out. Dally scoffs. "Go! Leave me alone. I don't want to see you again, and I mean it!" I just realized what I said and I cupped my hands over my mouth, Dallas was beyond pissed. He shoves me away and leaves the room, slamming the door shut. I stood there, this isn't happening.. I thought. The tears ran down my cheeks and I sat on the foot of Ponyboy's bed.

I heard the door creek open, I lifted my head up to see Ponyboy. "He left didn't he?" I asked with a tiny hoarse voice. He nods and closes the door to then sit next to me.

"I know I may say to Dally to leave, but we end up seeing each other the next day. But I said to him that I never wanted to see him again." I lay on his bed.

"Hey, this is one of your stupid fights isn't it?" Pony laid next to me. I nod unsurely. Was it? I turn to face Ponyboy. His golden eyes make my heart melt. I put my hand on his cheek, rubbing my thumb over his cheek.

"I'm glad I have you." I say smiling at him. I kiss his forehead and got up. He gets up and grabs my hand, pulling me close to him. All of a sudden my mind erases Dally. It's just me and Ponyboy. He cups my face with his hands. Before I knew it, he crashes his lips against mine. Fire enlightens inside me. I don't want to stop now.

I wrap my hands around his neck, sparks flying all around us, finally Ponyboy pulls away. "I love you Yulianna." He smirks. I smile back.

"I love you more." He shakes his head. "I mean it, Yuli. I love you." What? I look at him with a shocked expression. "I.." I was lost for words.

"Do you realize how long I've kept this in? A long time Yulianna. I've known you since.. God knows how long." He half laughs and I join him. I'm always one step ahead of Ponyboy. "I know what you're gonna ask, so yes." I peck his lips again. His eyes are glossy but with excitement, his smile grows wider and wider. He pulls me into the biggest hug I think I've ever gotten from him. I heaed a knock on the door and I jump.

"You crazy kids have been in there long enough! It's noon already." Johnny..

"Okay dad we'll be out soon." Johnny walks in and joins me and Ponyboy in laughter. We all walk out, not knowing I'm holding Ponyboy's hand. Of course, Two-Bit seems to notice.

I swear he has the eyes and ears of an eagle. I wonder if he's related to any eagles..? "You guys dating now?" My heart drops. Were we dating? Oh.

I already know what you're gonna ask, so yes.

I nod proudly. Ponyboy squeezed my hand a little, then I got a surprised look on Soda's face. "Well I'll be damned. I always knew you guys would end up together." Two-Bit took a sip from like his 3rd beer today.

"Steve owes me 10 bucks." He laughs. Then I remembered what Steve said about me and Dally. I was starting to feel really bad for Dally. I never meant to say the words that I said. Did I? But I don't want to bring up Dallas right about now. I want to focus on me and Ponyboy.

I hear the door fling open and Tim runs in the house, slamming the door shut. "Well, fancy seeing you here, Shepard." Soda playfully punches Tim. He looks towards me.

"I actually came to see you." That was it.

Dallas is in trouble, and it's my fault.
