It's the way Steve acts tuff
"ooOOH DAARRRYY!!" Soda pop screamed as he dragged his best friend through the front door. "A LITTLE HELP HERE!"
You stood up from the couch in shock. Soda acknowledged no one else as he heaved Steve onto the kitchen table like a rotisserie chicken. Steve also acknowledged no one, but you didn't blame him. He was unconscious by the looks of it.
Your poor boyfriend was black and blue in the face and a bigger wound had torn his shirt. There was blood. Everywhere.
Darry clomped down the stairs looking annoyed- until he saw the state of Steve. He immediately jumped into dad mode. He looked around the room where all the gang stood in pure shock.
"What. The hell. Happened." Dally managed to spit out.
"That's a story for another time buddy." Said Soda, examining the wound on Steve's abdomen. Oh God! His abdomen. There were arteries there!
"Two Bit, get the first aid kit!" Darry ordered. "Pony and Johnny get some ice." Darry's eyes followed to me. He looked away then looked back in (not well) disguised panic.
"Dallas you get Y/N outta here. His girl shouldn't have to see this." He said in a gentle voice. All at once you knew you were about to throw up or cry or piss yourself but instead you did what you do best . You argued.
"No! I'm staying here with Steve." you said running over to the kitchen table. You now noticed that Steve was still awake.
"Baby you gotta go. I'm alright." He assured you . But he didn't look alright. He was pale and clammy and oh yeah- had a big ass stab wound.
Big tears formed in your eyes. You hated crying out of frustration.
"B-but.." you tried to come up with a valid argument. But you also didn't think you could handle to see him getting stitched up.
"He's tough Y/N. I'll take good care of him." Said Darry putting a hand on your shoulder.
"Just let Dal take ya back to Bucks for a while. I'll be good as new when you come back." Steve said with a half grin. You knew there was no more time to waste. Steve needed help and you had to go.
"I love you" You said with tears falling down your face.
"I love you too." He said with a pained expression on his face. He was hiding how much pain he was really in- for you.
"And don't you dare kill him you dweebs!" You called as Dally guided you out the door.
