A week had passed or so when I woke up with a knock on my door. I got super nervous, I had just woken up with my hair a mess, and my Mom and Dad were both home eating breakfast and watching TV. It was Friday, there day off. I kinda had a feeling who it was, then I felt sick and nervously opened the door. It wasn't' Soda, it was Two-bit.
"Two-bit? What are you doing here?" I said, looking around the room trying to see my parents' expressions. Two-bit was way older than me, but I had known him pretty much my entire life. My mom used to be best friends with Two-bit's mom, except Two-bit's mom kinda did a lot of things my Mom didn't like, which including a lot of drinking, and they didn't really talk anymore ever since their Dad left them. That was when we were both kids, but Two-bit kinda went off the deep end, and we kinda distanced ourselves, but we were still friends. Just not as close.
"You know, you never used to ask that before" He asked, looking annoyed. "Can I come in?" He said, but walked right in even though I haden't answered yet. I didn't want to talk to him inside, so I asked my parents if we could go outside and talk. They both nodded their heads and I grabbed Two-bit by the arm and we went outside.
"What do you want?" I said asking Two-bit. I wonder if had been out drinking. "I just wanted to talk." He said, and he started walking onto the sidewalk, which I was pretty sure I wasn't supposed to leave the house, but I followed him anyways.
"I was thinking, about when we where kids. When all this greaser and socs stuff didn't matter. All we did was play without a care in the world."
I had never really heard two-bit act so serious before. He was always making jokes and stuff. He continued.. "Valerie, when we stopped talking, I thought it had to do with the fact that I was poor and from a no good family, and you aren't a soc, but you had money, a nice family. You're a good kid. I thought you probably didn't want to be with a bum like me." He said looking at me right in the eye. I felt guilty, but I needed to say something before he started talking again.
"I'm sorry , but I don't think that way, I just did what my mom told me to do. I'm 16 now, and I can make my own decisions, and that's why I started hanging out with you and your friends again. I always thought you hated me, and we never even mentioned it to anybody that we knew each other before. It's been almost a year since we started talking again , but I figured you forgot about me since you never said anything. " I said, waiting for a response from Two-bit, but he didn't say anything.
"How's Soda" I asked, trying to break the silence." Not too good Valerie." He said and let out a sigh. "Thing is, he's been drinking a lot. Soda. Drinking. It's not just this past week. It has been going on for a few months, even before you two started dating. "
"What! How come nobody ever told me this? Is he okay?" I couldn't believe it. I had known Soda for a year and he never got drunk. "So many questions Val, but I will tell you this. Darry and Pony have been way to busy to notice. For most people like me, it's perfectly normal, but for Soda... That kid needs some help. He still isn't over his parents death and umm..." His voice trailed off.
"Over what? I said, really wanting Two-bit to keep talking. "His break-up with Sandy." My eyes widened. "Oh" was all that could come out of my mouth. I remember Sandy, Soda's then girlfriend when I first met Soda. They always looked so happy, it always made me kind of jealous. I did like Soda at the time, but did a very good job at hiding it. Then when Sandy got pregnant, I was heartbroken. I didn't hear it from Soda, but I heard it because it was some gossip going around town. I first thought it was Soda's baby, but Darry told me it wasn't. Instead of being happy, I was so sad. Soda, the nicest sweetest guy ever, didn't deserve this. Soda seemed to get over it very quickly, and after that we started talking more. I loved spending time with him, and I was so happy when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I always thought Soda was happy too , but maybe he wasn't.
"Valerie, I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear but I have known Soda almost as long as I have known you, and he isn't happy or over her. I think the baby was supposed to be born around this time, and I bet you it's breaking Soda. He wants to hear from her so badly. She was the first girl he ever loved and he wanted to marry her. I think he loves you too, but it's not the same. He wanted you to be his rebound, but you remind him so much of Sandy. "
"I do?" I said, Sandy was beautiful, sweet, and outgoing. And I was just me. "You do. I mean, you don't have the same light blond hair, but you two have the same blue eyes. Same beautiful smile, same personality. And that's what Soda says to me, not what I think, sorry." Two- bit let out a little laugh, and I wished I could laugh to.
"oh." I said, all I could say was oh. I was pretty upset, but controlled myself from crying. If sandy was still here me and Soda would never been together. Two-bit wanted me to go to the curtis house, but I decided to go back home. I was still grounded anyways. Also, I had a lot of thinking to do,
HI GUYS! I'm so excited because I'm going to a One Direction Concert tonight! I updated pretty fast so yay
