Peyton*
June 27, 1965

I messed up.

I messed up bad.

Waking up in Sodapop's bed, without any clothes on was definitely one of the biggest mistakes thus far.

But, getting caught in Sodapop's bed with no clothes on by Ponyboy and Maya was definitely a lot worse then just being in the bed.

"Soda, time to get up," Darry yelled through the door which was ultimately what woke me up the first place.

Blinking a few times I looked around to see a sleeping, shirtless, and definitely good looking Soda in bed next to me.

"Oh shit!" I hissed, I wrapped a blanket around me and got up beginning to look for my clothes that were scattered around the room.

"Sodapop! Darry said- Peyton!?"

In my midst of running around and grabbing clothes I hadn't even heard the door open, but it indeed had been and Pony was the one that did it.

My heart stopped as the thirteen year old stared at me in horror and matter got worse when Maya walked by and stopped asking Pony what was wrong.

"Peyton, what the hell are you doing?" Maya screeched.

"I don't know, I just woke up! I don't remember last night!" Tears slipped out of my eyes and at this point Soda began to wake up. His brown eyes looked at three of us with a dazed, sleepy look before realization dawned on him.

"Oh no, no, no, no," He said shaking his head multiple times and sitting up grabbing the sheet to wrap it around his bare waist.

"Are you two freaking kidding me!" Maya yelled, "Sodapop that's my best friend!"

"Maya, get out!" Soda yelled pointing to the door, "Ponyboy you too." Soda's voice was hard, I had never heard him talk like that, not to Ponyboy. I watched the two look at Soda in shock.

"Maya lets go," Pony whispered, gently grabbing the girls arm and pulling her out of the room.

"We need to talk about this." I whispered, still wrapped in the sheet.

"I know." Soda grumbled pulling on some clothes, "Can you get dressed please?"

I nodded and awkwardly grabbed all my clothes and pulled them on, putting the sheet back on the bed.

"Look, we were drunk."

My heart dropped into my stomach, "Yeah we were. No feelings whatsoever. It was all meaningless." I started to the door blinking rapidly.

"Peyton-"

"Sodapop! Peyton! Get down here!" Darry yelled, cutting off Soda. I didn't hesitate and pulled the door open walking into the living room, not really sure if Soda was behind.

"What the actual hell, Peyton!" Two-Bit yelled, Darry was standing in front of him. Maya and Pony sitting in the couch with their arms crossed.

"It's not a big deal! We were drunk and it happened. There's nothing more to it." I looked at the wooden floor beneath my feet.

"It is a big deal! What if you get pregnant huh! What're you gonna do then?" Two-Bit keeps yelling.

"I guess I would have a damn baby then!" I yell back, "But I ain't gonna be pregnant we did use a condom!" I throw my hands out, not even noticing Evie and Steve walk into the room. I turned around started to the door, "Soda has made it plenty clear he wants nothing to do with me."
