The Drug In Me Is You-Sodapop Love Story

             I don’t own The Outsiders . It is the property of S. E. Hinton and it is in no way my intellectual property. There is no financial gain made from this nor will any be sought. This is for entertainment purposes only.

"But its not fair!" i shouted down the stairs, "Why do i have to stay in my room because you can't stay sober? You should have to stay in this hellhole, not me!"

"Sky you watch your damn mouth you ungrateful little brat!" mom slurred at me.

I let out a scream of frustration and stormed back to my room, slamming the door shut behind me. i grabbed my cigarettes and lit one. i walked over to my window and sat where the missing screen should be.

"Yo, Sky!" a familiar voice called up from the street below

"Buck! whats up, man? i havent seen you in forever!" i asked.

"nothin much, just got out of jail. throwin a party tonight. you commin?"

"My lovely mother has put me on house arrest untill shes sober enough to wipe her own ass." i joked, "but sure thing. mind if i come over now and help you set up?"

i didnt wait for him to reply. i didnt know if hed say yes, but i didnt really care. plus, theres no way hed ever yell at me or force me to go back home. so i climbed out the window and slid down the latter that had been my escape route for years. i ran up to Buck and jumped on him. being five-foot-three and about ninety pounds, he didnt move a muscle as i crashed onto him.

"haha whoa!" he shouted "Sky, youre lucky you weigh next to nothing or i woulda skinned you for that."

"aw can it, Buck. you and i both know youd never hurt me." i said as i climbed around to his back for a piggyback ride.

he carried me next door to his house and dropped me onto the couch so hard that i bounced off onto the floor. "hey asshole whats the big idea here?" i shouted.

he just chuckled and walked away. asshole.
