awhile now : darry

you chugged drink after drink. you didn't care anymore. no one loves you. your parents don't love you, darry will never love you. hell, not even you love you. you came to the conclusion that no one ever will unless some miracle happens.

"jeez can you get anymore beers down?" buck asked as you glared at him.

"shut up. just give me one more for the walk home." you stated rubbing your temples and closing your eyes.

"no. she will not have another one for the walk home." someone's one voice snapped from behind you. you turned around to see darry standing there glaring at buck.

"darry stop." you sighed but the next thing you knew, darry had thrown you over his shoulder and was carrying you out of the bar. you pounded against his back but soon realized he was just trying to help and relaxed.

when he got to his car he gently placed you down on the passenger seat and walked around the front of the car to the driver's seat.

"please don't drink. it's not gonna help anything." he pleaded.

"how are you suppose to know?" you barked back at him. "you don't even know what I'm going through!"

"then explain it to me. help me understand what you're going through." darry tried to reason.

you sighed and looked into his eyes. "it's not that easy. you can't just explain what's going through your mind. i don't even understand completely at this point." you whispered.

his eyes scanned your face as you glanced down at your hands. "hey. look at me for a sec." he demanded suddenly. you looked up at him and almost immediately you felt his lips against your own. you gasped as pure shock filled you. you soon realized what was happening and started to kiss him back.

he cupped your face with one of his hands and he placed his other one on your knee. once you both pulled away, you looked at him in astonishment.

"i like you a lot. and i don't want to have to watch you treat yourself badly." darry frowned.

"i love you..." you mumbled looking down at your lap.

"i love you too." he answered wrapping you up in his arms.
