The Drug In Me Is You-Sodapop Love Story

chapter 3

their house was nothing special, but it was a lot nicer than mine. there were no holes in the walls, it didnt smell like beer, and there was no mold on the roof. sad to say, but this was a five star hotel to me. "thanks yall, this was really nice of ya. ya really didnt have ta do this."

"dont mention it doll. greasers have to stick together!" soda said.

i giggled untill it hurt to i just sat there trying hard to remember to breath until darry came in with the food. i made tacos, guys! he brought me a plate and went back to the kitchen before i could thank him. i looked down at my plate and suddenly realized that the last time i ate was about a week ago. i ate all three of the tacos by the time the guys came back.

"Whoa, the girl can eat!" twobit said.

"haha hey youre not supposed to say that to a girl you big meanie!" i retorted like a three year old.

the all laughed and ate their food while darry got me two more tacos that i ate thankfully.

"you can have my room tonight, skylar." soda smiled, "ill sleep on the floor and make sure youre okay."

"thank you so much! but really its okay i can sleep on the floor in here and ill be gone before you get up in the morning." i said.

"youre not going anywhere and youre not sleeping on the floor either." darry told me sternly. "youre real hurt and you need to heal before you can go anywhere."

Darry must be the leader. kinda like Buck is the leader of our friends. i should probably give him a call and let him know what happened..but hed never let me go anywhere alone again. so maybe ill just let him think i fell asleep at the bar. no harm done.

steve twobit dally and johnny said their goodbyes and darry and pony headed to bed, leaving me and soda sitting in the living room.

"so how come ive never seen you before?" he asked.

"well, like i said, im homeschooled. and im not really allowed to leave my room, so when i sneek out i can only go so far on foot. i usually stay on my street. Tim and Buck livve next door so its whatever." i said. "sorry, im talking too much."

"no not at all. i like your voice, its pretty." he said

"thanks, i like your voice too."

soda laughed and stretched out on the couch so i only had a few inches. "hey do you mind?" i asked.

"not at all." he said with a wink.

i laughed and shoved him out of the way.

"so what about you, whats your story?" i asked.

"my parents died in a car crash a few years ago and my older brother darry takes care of me and pony now. i work at the DX down the street with my buddy steve. we work on cars." he said.

"im sorry to hear that. were you close to your parents?" i asked.

his eyes got really sad and nodded yes.

"oh im sorry, it must have been hard. my parents are still alive but i dont really know them. they only talk to me when theyre yelling at me." i admitted.

"thats too bad. but you always have us, we'll always talk to ya. we all like you a lot, youre real funny."

i couldnt help but giggle as the most attractive man ive ever seen complemented me. "thank you." i blushed. i tried to hide in my hair so he wouldnt see how red my cheeks are, but he brushed my hair behind my ears with his fingertips and looked me straight in the eyes.

"why ya hiding, pretty girl?" he asked, making me blushed even harder.

"I-i-i do that sometimes." i whispered.

he smirked and moved closer until his face was almost touching mine.

"whoa." i said

"what?" he asked

"n-nothing, youre just really close." i laughed.

his eyes got really big and he pulled away as fast as he could. "oh sorry." me mumbled.

now it was time for him to get red. I slid closer to him and blew on his ear as i put my hand on his knee. for the record, i was just messing with him. im not the type of girl who goes around sleeping with people they just met. but i had to admit, he was attractive and it was pretty fun. Right as he turned towards me, i chuckled and moved back.

"im getting really tired, bed?" i asked before he could do anything.

"ah ye-yeah s-sure. lets go." he took my hand and lead me to his bedroom. i sat on the bed and soda closed the door behind us. he took his shirt off and sat on the floor infront of me.

"alright," he asked, "ready for bed?"

"well, yeah but this is your room in your house. i cant let you sleep on the floor." i said.

he looked confused for a second and said, "well, youre the guest so i cant let you sleep on the floor."

"then i guess we'll have to share the bed then." i said, sliding to the left side of the bed. he stood there watching me so i asked, "erm, what are you doin?"

"nothing, i just usually sleep on that side." he said, pointing to where i was.

"haha ill move then." i said, sliding over for him.

he got in bed behind me and wrapped his arm around me.

"why are you laughing?" he asked.

huh, i didnt realize i was laughing. "nothing you just smell really good."

he laughed and we fell asleep with his arms around me.
