The outsider

Chapter 13

"It's... all over the paper." I said softly and handed Darry the paper the next morning. He scuffed as he read it with a cup of coffee in his left hand. "Darrel Curtis arrest for dating One kourtney Winston, who is four years younger then him. It was suspected that there was more to the story then two star crossed lovers in the mix. What the fuck, it's not like I killed anyone." He threw  the paper on the table. "I know. Plus I'm not even a kid. I'm old enough to drink." "No shit." He sat his coffee on the table and crossed his arms. "I'm sorry Darry, I didn't mean for this to-" "It's not your fault." I opened my mouth but soda walked in. "What's for breakfast?" "Nothing." "Funny Darry. What's for breakfast?" Daddy smiled, "I'm serious Soda. Nothing." "And why nothing?" I frowned knowing what daddy was about to say. "Kourtney can't eat what we've got this early in the morning, if she's not eating your not eating." "Darry-" "That's fair kourtney." Soda laughed, "I love kourtney, but it's really not. She can't eat dinner breakfast or lunch. So does that mean we just starve?" "Soda that's enough-" they began to argue so I stood up dragging there attention to me. "Eat all you want. I'm going to two bits?" "Kourtney!" They both called but I didn't stop as I made my way out of the house and walked to two's.

I knocked on his door and he answered. "Kourtney?" "Hey two mind if I stay here a while?" "As in day or like... What?" "In hours." "Oh hell Yeah come on." I nodded my head and headed inside. Mikey was on the tv so I sat down in front of it. "You want something to eat?" "What you got." "Umm. Cake." "Umm yes please!" He laughed and nodded his head. We watched Mikey and ate cake and laughed at the jokes, it was a great time.

Oh god. Don't tell me I'm actually starting to become best friends with this guy. Not that that's bad but... I mean, yeah no it's just. Bad. "Thanks two. I should get home." "You can spend the night if you want?" I smiled, "Yeah I'd like that." "You can borrow one of my shirts, bottom drawer on the left dresser." I nodded and headed back to his room. I opened the door and the first thing I saw was a black Mikey shirt, my smile never faded as I slipped it on. It wasn't as big as Darry's but it would be okay. I took a pair of his boxers off the top drawer and slid them on as pajama pants, as I finished two entered the room. "Thoes... are my boxers." "Yeah. I'm using them as shorts." "But. I'm naked when I wear them." "Okay? I have underwear on. It'll be fine." He sighed and nodded. "Can I call Darry on your phone and tell him I'm spending the night." "Mi casa es Su casa." I rolled my eyes and laughed as he sat on the bed, I headed to the kitchen and dialed the Curtis home line. "Sodapop Curtis here." "Hey soda. Give the phone to dare please." "Darry your soon to be wife is on the phone!" Soda yelled, I frowned as he said wife knowing that that would probably never happen. "Shut up sodapop and give me the damn phone." I Hurd Darry say, "Kourtney?" Darry asked. "Should I worry that you questioned that?" "No. No, where you at?" "I'm at twos still." "When you coming home?" "Well. That's why I called, I'm staying at twos tonight." "What? Why?" "Because I want to. I'm not a slave right?" "No of course not. I was just wondering if... if it has to do with you not eating and-" "I'm staying at twos cause I want to Darry." "Okay. Call me tomorrow morning and I'll pick you up, twos to far away for you to be walking." I scuffed. "I walked here. You didn't offer me ride then." "Just call me when you wake up okay?" "Sure dare." "I love you." "I'll call you in the morning." I hung up and sighed. I loved Darry. I did, so much, but I He can't marry me... i just need to think for a while. That's all. Right? Hopefully.

"Hey? You coming to bed?" I turned around and sat the phone down. "Yeah." I headed to twos room with him. It was morning now and I woke up on my own, Two was still sleeping so I crawled out of bed and headed for the kitchen. His parents were out of town so I decided to make him breakfast. Cereal that is, I didn't want to throw up not this early in the morning, Plus two doesn't know I'm pregnant so. "You should have woke me up." I smiled, "Your just so cute when you sleep I couldn't help it." "You know you kick in your sleep?" "Really?" I turned to look at two- bit. "Yeah! You kicked me in the dick twice and pushed me off the bed." I laughed, "Really Darry doesn't complain about that." "Well Dally did, I'm really starting to feel sorry for the dead bastard." My smile disappeared as he said Dally and it turned into a frown as he said dead. I turned back around and took a deep breath to hid the tears that were coming. "Oh shit I'm sorry kourtney I didn't mean to." He stopped talking as my sobs were Hurd, he hugged me from behind and kissed my shoulder. I cried harder. "D-Dally's dead. He-he's never coming back. I-I'll n-never get to see h-his face again!" If it was even possible I cried harder, my breathing was unstable and two noticed. "Hey come on I'll take you to Darry." All i did was cry as he lead me to his car and sped to Darry's house. He got out of the car and opened the passenger seat lifting me up and holding me close as he walked up to the door. "Darry! Darry!" Dare came out of the front door and panically took me into his arms. He kissed my head and held me closer then two did, "What happened?" "I... I mentioned that Dally's dead." I cried harder and held onto Darry's shirt. "Dare... help...please." He kissed my head and placed his forehead on mine. He sang me the lullaby and helped me calm down. Then he sat me down and started to yell at two. "Seriously! You know you can't do shit like that! Especially now that she's pregnant!" Everyone froze even Darry himself, twos eyes widened and his mouth hung low. "She's pregnant." I sighed, "Yeah. I am." I wrapped an arm around Darry, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" I stood on my tip toes and kissed his jaw. "It's okay. They would have found out sooner or later." "Wow... I mean... wow." "If you got something to say two-bit say it." Darry said as he wrapped an arm around me protectively. "It just... your not married." Two looked at me knowing that marriage was a big deal to me. "That's none of your business now is it?" "I was just saying... you already got arrested for what it looks like, and now she's having a baby. Now people are really going to know what you to do behind closed doors." "Two!" Soda said and slapped him, "That's how you make a baby! We were all thinking it!" I sighed, "Two's right. I mean you got in trouble for dating me... what's it going to be like when people find out I'm pregnant." I looked at dare, he smiled at me and used his free hand to pull my hair behind my ear. "It's our choice to be together, if people can't see that then, screw them." "I just don't want something bad happening to you dare." He cupped my cheek, "Nothings going to happen to me. I promise." "I love you Darry. So much." He kissed my forehead, "I love you to."

"If you love her you'd marry her. Show these dumb asses your love is real." We looked at two, Darry having to drop his hand to his side so we could do so. "Two-" "I think that's our choice." Darry cut me off, I bit my lip to hold back my protest. "Come on. Let's stop worrying about what others think and get to work. The day is just beginning." Two sighed, Darry kissed my lips quickly and let go of me all together. "I love you." He walked out the door already in his uniform for work, I frowned and looked at my empty left hand. "Kourtney? You okay?" Soda asked as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Yeah. Just great." He kissed my head and rubbed my shoulder, "Everything will be okay." I smiled at him as he walked out to Darry's car.

It's now been four months. I've visited the doctor twice and tomorrow is going to be my third time, my belly is slightly swollen. Not to the point where you can tell I'm pregnant but to the point that you can tell it's swollen. Darry's been working a lot lately, waking up at 5 in the morning and not coming home till midnight, sometimes later. I would be lying if I said it didn't worry me. He's working his ass off, he comes home and dives into the bed probably already asleep by the time he hits the mattress. The last time I actually had a real conversation with Darry was two weeks ago. Yeah he would make me up in the morning with a kiss goodbye and sometimes at night so I wasn't scared someone was trying to get me as he wrapped his arms around me, but that wasn't enough for me. I miss Darry.

I was currently dressed in one of soda's shirts, and loose basketball pants. My clothes were cutting off my circulation and hurt! My hair was in a messy bun and I was making breakfast for soda and pony. It was kinda hard though, the smells made me want to throw up, but I had a job to do. "Wow. It's like I turned into a women." I Hurd sodas voice, I turned around and sighed. "My clothes don't fit anymore and I can't afford to buy maternity clothes. I can't wear dare's ether, he's... to big for me to be wearing his clothes out the house. Pony's are to small, so that leaves me with yours." He walked over to me and pulled his pants I was wearing and let go of them. "Really? These things are twice your size." "Well Darry's are like three times to big and pony's don't fit me!" I started crying... stupid pregnancy hormones. "I'm fat I get it you don't have to rub it in my face you skinny bastard!" I turned back to the food as I cried, sodas arms snakes around my waist and rubbed my swollen belly, he kissed my shoulder and rested his head on it. "Your not fat kourtney, your pregnant. You have an excuse to not fit in your clothes your creating life. If I have to hand you half of my wardrobe so that I'm five months I'll be able to hold a baby in my hands then damn right I'll do it. You are one badass of a women to be able to create a human being in your stomach... I have so much respect for you." I turned in sodas arms to see him smiling at me, he stood up completely so I had to look up a bit. "Really?" "Yes." I kissed him on the cheek and hugged him the best I could, the bump from the baby making it hard to hold him as close as I wanted to. "Thank you Soda." "Anything for you." He pulled back and kissed my forehead. Around the same time pony came in, "If Darry was here your ass would be in a lot of trouble." Soda let go of me and I continued to make the food. "Your not aloud to curse pony." "Sorry kourtney." I smiled.
