Upon the Stars: Sodapop Curtis x OC {Completed}

Chapter Thirty-Four

     I gasped sitting up horrified. I clawed my face screaming with closed eyes. I began to rock myself back and forth. I heard rushing footsteps and felt warm arms wrapped around me. "Baby... It's ok! It's just another dream," Sodapop whispered. I clung to his sleep shirt and cried in his chest. This is the second week I've had vivid nightmares about the night my own mother "killed" me. I could hear my screams of terror and her harsh cursing. I could feel the throbbing scars on my back and the deep cut on my chest. I could feel the pressuring tires on my body. I could describe that night to every smallest detail... But I'll take it easy.

     I yelped as I fell to the ground and was dragged underneath a car. The heavy tires snapped my arm. Suddenly, the heavy weight was relieved, but instead.. I was dragged and forced into the car. I kicked and screamed as the doors were locked. My mom folded the seats down and threw me back there. I winced as I felt leather snap against my skin repetitively. My wounds burnt like a wild fire. Suddenly, I felt a sharp object pierce my chest. I gasped for air kicking my mom back. I breathed heavily looking down. Blood pooled in my shirt. A large knife stuck from my chest. It hurt to breathe. My vision began to blur as I blinked. I began to breathe slowly. My vision clouded, and my body became limp with my hand resting on the knife handle. This can't be- my thought was paused. Believed to be forever...

     "Soda!" I whined. I felt his fingers stroke my hair.

     "Summer, it's ok! I promise... I'm here," Sodapop said hugging me close.

     "Nothing's ok!" I yelled. "If everyone else has left me... Why haven't you?" I asked crying.

     "I love you. From the bottom and deepest part of my heart. I really love you," Soda whispered in my ear. I could hear him sobbing with me.

     "What's so special about me that you supposedly love?" I asked wiping my nose with my sleeve.

     "You. All of you," He mumbled in reply. I gave up. I let go of the subject.

     "Why did she do it?" I asked.

     "Who is she? What did she do?" Sodapop asked looking into my eyes.

     "My mom! What did she try to kill me?!" I yelped.

     "Because she was afraid," Soda replied. I could hear question in his voice.

     "Why is she afraid?! And of what?!" I yelped burying my head back into his chest.

     "I don't know, but there IS one thing I know," He explained smiling at me. "I will be with you forever. Even upon the stars!" Sodapop said tapping my nose. And that was the only thing that could ever make my day... Hearing that I can be with my Sodapop Patrick Curtis forever and upon the stars.
