Sodapop's POV
I gasped at the unholy sight of which was Steve's face.
A black eye beginning to form, busted lip, broken nose, from what I could see bruises on his arms and god knows how his stomach and legs looked like.
I was gonna grab his hand and bring him in but he quickly moved it away.
'Not this again. I thought we already had gotten past this. Whatever what matters now is to take care of his injuries.'
I just motioned for him to come inside and he laid down on the couch.
Neither Darry or Ponyboy were home.
I grabbed the first aid kit and lifted up his shirt and it was a horrendous sight.
"Steve what happened to you?! Who did this to you?!"
He didn't say anything.
"Steve tell me what happened!?"
"None of your business Curtis! Now shut your trap and fix me up!"
I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Steve calm down I know you're injured and frustrated but I'm just worried. It's natural for me to be worried about you. You are my boyfriend."
He got up and pushed me back and I landed on my bottom.
"Well, I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore! Why you gotta go and mess with my head?! I was fine and normal until you drilled them messages and thoughts into my head!"
I stood up and got close to him.
He swung at me but I grabbed his fist and held his hands.
I thought I had calmed him down but he suddenly head-butted me in the nose.
I let go of his hands and grabbed my nose and saw that it was bleeding.
Angry and tired I pinned him down to the floor.
My hands holding his arms down so he wouldn't be able to punch me.
"Steve what the fuck happened to you?! One minute you were fine and asking me out and now you're breaking up with me and punching me. What happened Steve? Why do you have all these bruises?"
I saw Steve's eyes tear up and I decided to let him go.
He flipped me over so he was on top.
He started crying.
"I'm like this because of my dad. Everything's his fault. Someone told him that we were together and he forbid me from seeing you and I decided to test him and he beat the shit out of me! This is all my fault. This is what I get for trying to be happy. This is why I didn't want to say anything! Because I knew I would get hurt!"
I wipe Steve's tears away and kiss him.
Instead of fighting me or trying to pull away he kisses me back.
He then falls on top of me and just whispers while still crying,
"I'm just too scared to say anything to anyone."
I rub his back and calm him down.
"Shh, it's okay Steve we don't have to worry about that right now. Let's just go to the room Ponyboy and I sleep in. You can get a good night's rest and figure this out tomorrow."
He gets up and helps me up.
We make our way to the bedroom.
At this point, I'm pretty sure Steve stopped crying and has calmed down.
We enter it and immediately Steve collapses on the bed.
I go to the bathroom and just wipe off the dry blood I had on my nose.
'I don't think it's broken. Is it? How hard could Steve head butt me?'
I shrug my shoulders and hope it isn't broken.
When I return back to the room Steve is sleeping soundly on the bed.
The blankets were thrown wherever and he still had his muddy shoes on.
I playfully rolled my eyes and as best as I could tried to take off his shoes without noticing it.
Somehow I managed to do that and then I got into bed and put the blankets over both of us.
I stared at him while I fell asleep and god was he beautiful.
I held his hand and drifted off.
Around 3 or 4 AM
Steve's POV
I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was in Sodapop's bed.
I also noticed that he was grabbing my hand.
Trying not to be as rude as possible I moved my hand away and got out of bed.
'Shit I have to get back home before my fucking father wakes up. Oh golly why did I have to fall asleep here? Now let's hope no one tells him.'
I managed to find my shoes and I quickly put them on and headed outside.
Right before kissing Sodapop on the cheek and putting the blankets on him again.
Thank goodness my dad wasn't awake and I think no one saw me so sneaking back in was easy.
'Maybe we should just tell the gang about our relationship. I mean there was Curly and Ponyboy or Darry and Two-Bit. Hell, even Johnny and Dally were together. It wouldn't be so out of this world if we told them. I'm too scared though what if the Socs find out or my dad hits me again. Why can't I just be happy without having to worry about someone trying to hurt me? Well, I'll just go back to sleep and hopefully, I'll be better of thinking about it when I head off to work with Sodapop.'
I fell asleep thinking everything had just gone by fine.
Third POV
The thing Steve didn't know was that someone had actually taken pictures of him coming out of Sodapop's house.
Hell, they even had pictures of Sodapop and Steve kissing.
