Upon the Stars: Sodapop Curtis x OC {Completed}

Chapter Ten

     I rubbed my eyes with a yawn. I sat up and looked around, the Curtis house... Dang, I always fall asleep early, then I end up here when I wake up...

     "Good mornin'!" Soda greeted. "Darry already left for work. Ponyboy is sleepin' in..." He told me.

     "Alrighty..." I yawned stretching.

     "You know, you're cute when you sleep..." He said out of the blue.

     "That sounds stalker-ish, but I'll take it as a compliment!" I nodded with a giggle.

     "Don't bother if Two-bit comes... Mickey Mouse if coming on soon and he doesn't really like to watch it at his house," Soda added.

     "Dang... He is like a child in a teenager's body, ain't he?" I chuckled.

     "Yeah..." Soda laughed. He walked over and sat beside me. "Want anything?" He asked.

     "I'll be good..." I said. "Hey, I'm gonna go somewhere... K?" I added standing up.

     "Alright..." He replied. "Be careful!" Soda smiled.

     I kept the my only outfit I had on. I soon trotted out the door. "I'll see ya later!" I called to him. He waved back with his goofy grin. I rushed down the steps and walked onto the sidewalk. I have been waiting... I've kept a letter tucked under the couch that I wrote before I moved out of Oklahoma at fourteen years of age. If my mom didn't find it, the letter should still be there. The letter was actually for Sodapop at the time, I used to have a HUGE crush on him. Before I knew it I walked into the house warily. I looked around, I figured my mom wasn't home. I suddenly heard someone call my name and I turn around. A pain exploded into my eye. I was shoved into the door then to the ground and got kicked repetitively.

     "How many times do I have to teach you a lesson?" A voice spat. My mother... She struggled to pin me. She flipped out a switch and held it under my chin. I raised my held trying to get as far away as possible from the blade. I choked and closed my eyes tight. "You. Are. A. Soc!" My mom growled.

     I snarled, "I AM A GREASER!!!!" I kicked my mother in the stomach, struggling to get up. I eventually slid out of her grip and stumbled on to my knees. I stood up and quickly grabbed what I came for and rushed out the door. I didn't regret going... Even if I will have a swollen eye for the next few days... I at least got the letter. I sprinted through the neighborhood and I wiped the blood from peeled skin on my neck. I looked behind me and then crashed into someone... Eric... I quickly stood up and ran as fast as I could until reach the house. I sat on the steps to catch my breath. My vision clouded and I fell to the ground, seeing only black.
