"Soda stop!" I screamed while cupping my cheek.
After telling my dad Soda is still gonna marry me they broke out arguing before somehow fighting. My dad ended up swinging at me so Soda got even more mad. They are punching, kicking and wrestling with each other.
"Lets go Soda!" I screamed. Soda pushed my dad off of him and stood up.
"Bye Mr. Cade. See you in hell." And with that Soda and I left to the Curtis house. We walked to the house and Soda sat on the couch. I grabbed the first aid kit and cleaned his wounds.
"That was real brave of you, Mr. Curtis." I said with a smile.
"Thank you Mrs. Curtis." Soda responded before lifting the hair that fell on my face. He examined my bruise and frowned.
"He really shouldn't have done that." Soda said.
"Don't worry about me. Worry about you. You got a lot of cuts and bruises on your face there Soda." I said. I fiddled with his fingers before kissing his cheek. "Thank you for defending me. No one's ever done that, Johnny and Addie were always too scared to." I said. The door opened and Dally, Carter and Pony walked in. Two came in after and sat on Darry's chair.
"And then he decided to touch me and I said-" Carter was saying until she laid eyes on Soda. "What in the hell happened to y'all?" She asked, pulling his face towards her and touching the cuts and bruises lightly.
"I got into a fight with Jessie's old man." Soda said. Carter sighed and that's when I realized she has makeup on her face. I looked at her weird.
"What's wrong with yoi Jess?" Dally asked.
"She has makeup on Dal." I said. He looked at her and furrowed her eyebrows.
"I stole it from a store while you were partyin'. It was just a foundation and I needed it." Carter said. She wiped her face and the makeup came off, showing the bruises and cuts on her face. She slipped her jacket off and there were bruises on her wrists and some on her right shoulder.
"Why did you need it?" Soda asked, his voice soft.
"I thought, if I covered it up that I could pretend it never happened. Last night we went to the movies and I asked a Soc what he thought of Dally. I got up and went to get my drink refilled with Two. This Soc walked in while Two was talkin' to someone and grabbed me real hard. He wanted to have his way with me but I said no. I tried to get to Two but the Soc pulled me back and slapped me." Carter said. Soda grabbed her and wrapped his arms around her.
"I looked back and Carter was on the floor. The guy told her to stand up or else he was gonna hurt her. I told him to leave but he threatened to get Jess too. Dally came over and punched the guy, knockin' him out cold!" Two filled in.
"My dad and I got into a fight because he didn't give a shit about Carter being hurt. Told him about her cutting and said she should've killed herself. He decided to beat her in her room while she was asleep and I woke up to her screaming. We fought, and I took Carter and left. After that we went to the lot and slept in the tree." Dally said.
"Dally said that he's gonna look for a real nice house for me and him tomorrow. Don't want me to be with that shit hole no more." Carter said furiously. She wiped off the rest of the makeup before sitting on the floor.
"You can stay with us if you want Dal." Soda offered.
"Carter can stay with me." Pony said. Dally looked at him before squinting.
"You promise not to hurt my little girl?" Dally asked Pony like a father would.
"Yes sir." Pony responded like a soldier.
"Will you let her keep her virginity?" Dally asked, a smile creeping on his lips.
"Yes sir. Why would I think of that?" Pony asked Dally.
"Maybe you'll be like your brother over here and have sex when you're 17." Dally said, glaring at Soda and I.
"Well I won't. Maybe in a few years but not now." Pony said.
"Will you love her and teach her to love herself?" Dally asked.
"Yes sir."
"Then she can live here. I'll bring her clothes and such over tomorrow." Dally said. Pony let out a deep breath before sitting on Carter. He smiled at her before kissing her cheek.
"Are you okay with us goin' out Jess?" Pony asked.
"We can stop if you-" Carter started.
"Yes. You two are cute but don't hurt that girl Pony. I'm watchin' you." I said. He nodded before Soda sat down next to Carter. I sat next to him, making the couch even more crowded.
"We can fix this." Pony and Soda said at the same time. Soda lifted me up and placed me on his lap. Pony placed Carter on his lap and her cheeks flushed red.
"Have you two kissed yet?" I asked.
"No." They both said. I raised an eyebrow and looked at them.
"Thought about it?" I asked.
"Yes." Pony answered. He looked at Carter before his cheeks flushed red too. Carter lied back and placed her head on his shoulder. I mirrored and kissed Soda on the lips. He blushed and smiled.
"I will never get over that feelin'." He said. Carter looked at us before looking down at her fingers.
"Screw it." She said before turning to face Pony. He looked confused before she leaned in and planted her lips on his. She lied back again and his face was bright red.
"Awwww... Pony has a girlfriend." Two teased. Pony hid his face behind Carter before kissing her again.
