"Violet, you are not leaving Tulsa," Steve protested, grabbing my arm.
I looked down. Tears started to form in my eyes.
"I can't be here anymore, I keep hurting people. I hurt. I can't anymore, Stevie. I know I'm so overly dramatic about things, but hell, it fucking sucks! I've had more of a negative impact than a positive," I told Steve as I wiped away my salty tears.
"No, Violet, you have to stay here. You can't leave Sodapop now, what do you mean you keep hurting people? You're not. Don't say that. I've never seen the whole gang so happy before, I haven't seen Sodapop this happy since his parents died and Sandy leaving him."
I heard a door open and footsteps running towards us.
"Violet? Baby, are you okay?" Sodapop ran to hug me. I stood there silent, hugging him back.
"She wants to leave Tulsa."
I faced Steve and gave him a dirty look, as I was hoping that he wouldn't tell Soda.
Soda let go of me and you saw how he broke a little bit in his eyes. He looked drained.
"Why you gonna leave? I won't let you."
More tears poured out of my eyes and he wiped them away.
"It's Ponyboy. He said he loves me, but god damn it I'm so hopelessly in love with you Soda. But I don't want to break his fragile little heart. He deserves the world and it's not fair to him! I keep hurting people around here. I hurt you, I hurt him," I told Soda.
"It's okay. I'll talk to him. You don't need to leave."
He grabbed me and held me tight, and I never wanted it to end.
"Sunshine, I love you," Soda whispered softly and kissed my forehead.
"I love you too," I whispered back.
"Y'all are kinda gross. You can stop now," Steve complained.
Soda slowly chuckled and I wiped the rest of my tears and laughed a little bit.
"You know what? We all need a break. Seriously though! Think about it! We can go to that lake we know! Come on, please," Steve begged.
Soda and I looked at each other. I shrugged.
"Why not?" I grinned.
