a year had gone by and i just starting writing my poem, but i had no idea how to write it. should i write bout broken friendships like johnny and i, or bout dally and i?

should i write bout me going back with my brothers, or my feelings? the only word i have written down is melting.

that's when it hit me. i erased melting and was thinking bout what the fuck should i write bout! "rubi! your eggs!" soda yelled. fuck! my eggs, i was cooking eggs but i accidentally left them.

i ran to the kitchen and saw my burnt eggs. "FUCK!" i yelled. "language." soda laughed. i threw them away and just ate bread and went back to my room.

i wanted to be alone for a while or basically all day. so i told soda or pony whoever comes in the door and wants to talk to me tell em i'm not in the mood.

i wanted to do something else, make a harmony or something. i didn't have a guitar though. i quickly got out of the house and ran to the thrift shop.

i love the thrift shop! you can actually find real good stuff. i found a sweater, shirts, and jeans. when i kept looking around i saw the most beautiful thing i have ever seen my entire life!

a freaking guitar! it was 6 dollars and i only had 4 dollars. i knew i couldn't steal it cause i've already been caught so...i just got it and quickly tried to escape. i obviously tripped and looked up seeing someone handing me a hand.

"thanks." i looked up and it was johnny. why? i didn't want to ran into anyone! way to be sneaky and lonely. "where you going with that guitar?" johnny asked wrapping his arms together.

great. should i make up a lie or tell the truth? make up a lie it is! "i was going to pay for it! i was in a hurry so that's why i ran!" i quickly said. johnny looked at me and smiled. "lies. i distract the cashier and you go head home ight?"

i gave him a smile went on. he distracted the cashier like he said and i ran off. i got home and went inside my room.

i started to play with the notes and stuff like that. the only thing was is that before i got here to live with my brothers i used to have a guitar, and notes. but of course stupid me forgot them cause the lady who took care of me wanted me out of the house right away. 

that meant i had to be creative and make up the harmony and memorize it. "hey...where'd you get that guitar?" soda asked. i noticed he was smoking, he doesn't smoke unless when trynna look tough or impressing a girl!

"why is you smoking?" i grinned. soda turned red and sat on my bed. "after sandy broke up with me i've been talkin' to this girl. she's almost here so i'll be here later. don't worry i still remember bout that guitar!" soda said leaving.

he's funny, watch him forget when he comes back. i got a piece of paper and my pencil and i just wrote down some words;

torn

bored

lonely

burn

love

afraid

drown

party

crazy

boy

feelings 

what can i do with those? i need peace and quiet and right now is perfect but no! my mind isn't thinking at all! "hey y'all!" two bit yelled.

"AHH!" i yelled and kicked the door shut. "rubi? everything good in there?" two bit asked behind the door. "yup, nothing wrong. just fine." nothing was fine! i should stop lying to myself or anyone.

i went to my bed and got the guitar. "now with these words that i freaking wrote down, what can i do with them?" i said looking down at the paper.

i really don't like making songs cause i've never done one but isn't like making a poem but with a um...harmony?

i have to thank johnny, for helping me. this poem will probably be done in the future but he also helped somehow. he helped me steal it.

it's crazy but helpful. cause i wouldn't be here writing my poem or whatever i'm doing. dally...he is amazing! i love him but we never said that to each other yet. he just told me he likes me but that's all.

i looked down at my paper and put it away in a box. "i'll use you later." i said smiling and putting the box away. i want no problems, this year, "hey can i come in?" dally said opening the door a little.

shoot. why not just let him in, "yeah you can." i smiled and patted my bed so he can sit down. "thanks darlin' it's just soda told me that you wanted to be alone. so i just wanted to make sure." he said sitting down.

"you are my partner in crime huh?" i said kissing his cheek. "hell yeah!" dally said hugging me. we laid down on my bed. i put my arm on his chest and he put his arm around me.

i believe that we both asleep for a while because pony came in and threw a pillow at us. "hey!" dally said waking up. i stood up and saw dally and pony play fight. i don't know what i'll do without dally.
