"What the hell makes you think you know what's good for me?!" I yelled, storming into the Curtis house.
We had been hanging out at the drive-in earlier with the rest of the gang like any other Friday night. I went to grab some popcorn and snacks when suddenly I was greeted by a soc. We started making small talk as we waited in line together. He wasn't mean or rude like the any of the other guys, he was quite the gentleman. I guess I'd been gone longer than I thought, cause next thing I knew my best friend, Ponyboy, was telling me we needed to have a talk as soon as possible. He's been my best friend since we were little, so I left the soc in the dust quickly, worried something was wrong. Come to find out on the way home, he'd supposedly "caught" me talking to the soc and was mad that I'd been "flirting" with him.
Since we'd left the guys early it was just him and I at his house. The whole way here he's been going off about how I was disrespectful to the gang and that guy was no good for me.
"Come on (Y/N), he was a soc for god sake!" he said angrily.
Ponyboy was almost never angry, so it was rare to see him like this. Especially over something this dumb.
"So?" I said, rolling my eyes.
"So nothing! That guy was no good for you (Y/N) and you knew it. How could you do this?" he said, stepping closer to me.
"It's not your choice who I get to be with, Pony!"
"He was a soc!"
"I don't give a damn what he was! He was nice to me"
"Nice? You think those socs are nice? Have you forgotten they almost killed Johnny?"
I sighed. He was right on that.
"Look, I really don't see why you felt it was necessary to drag me out here just so you could yell at me some more!"
"Well I don't see why you felt the need to be such a bitch earlier" he snapped.
My chest tightened. The Ponyboy I knew would never say anything like that. Not to anyone.
"You did not just say that.." I said, turning around to leave.
I tried desperately to hold in the tears that were threatening to escape.
"Wait (Y/N)..I didn't mean it" he said, grabbing my arm gently.
"Save it! I get it. I get your point Pony, I'm leaving"
It was too late. I already felt the hot tears running down my cheeks.
"P-Please don't cry" he said, his eyes watering too.
"(Y/N) I didn't mean what I said..about earlier. Just..when I saw you talking to that soc I-I don't know what happened. Honestly, I guess I was just jealous. You're the most beautiful girl I know. And the way that soc was looking at you made me want to sock him right there. You're right. You should be with whoever you want..but I just want what's best for you."
I couldn't help but smile at him. I knew he meant every word that he said. He looked up at me shyly, his eyes asking for forgiveness.
"Oh Pony" I smiled, brining myself towards him and hugging him tightly.
"I'm so sorry (Y/N). I really am" he whispered.
"I love you Ponyboy" I whispered back.
"What?" he asked shocked, as I pulled away.
I then pulled his face down to mine and captured his lips in a slow and passionate kiss.
"I love you" I smiled as we came back to reality.
