You've had a very long week and the only thing you had on your mind was going to Darry's house and hopefully being able to relax. You work as a nurse and this week had been the most stressful week yet. "I need a drink" you said tired as you were just finishing up your shift at the hospital. You decided to walk to the bar for a beer. "Just one or two beers. Thats it" you thought. As you got to the bar you ordered your drink as 2 very drunk looking socs sat next to you. One had curly black hair that swooped back casually and the other was towheaded and had a cigar in his mouth. Both looked around 18 maybe 19. "Hey doll. What're you doin' in here all alone?" The blonde asked slurring his words. You didn't know how to respond since soc's were talking to you which NEVER happens. "Uh.. i just got back from the hospital. I work there- thought i'd grab a quick drink..." you said staring out of space. "Oh yeah? You're too cute to be a nurse eh?" The black haired soc said. "Sure.. im gonna go to the restroom and I expect to see you two gone." I told them sashaying away. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When i got back from the bathroom, they were gone- like i had hoped. I sighed in relief and took another drink of my beer. It wasn't very long until i started feeing weird and dizzy. Was i already drunk?? I couldn't have been. I mean i know i dont exactly have the highest alcohol tolerance 'cause i dont normally ever drink.. but this didn't feel right. Before i knew it i wasnt even conscious anymore.
"Y/n..?"
"Y/n wake up. Right now." I heard a slightly deep voice speak next to me. I recognized it almost immediately and sat up quickly. It was Darry. "Shoot.. whats he gonna think about me drinking.."
Soda was also there next to him fixing me a glass of water. "Here ya go.. this'll help with it." Soda said handing me the water. "i-it? What do you mean? What happened?"
They both looked at me sullenly. But Darry's expression changed the second i asked what happened. "Your drink got spiked. With drugs." Darry was now looking at me with anger and disappointment in hid eyes- for whatever reason. "Huh?? Thats impossible i-"
"Soda.. mind givin' us a minute?" Darry said still staring at me looking mad.
"Sure... take it easy y/n" he said slightly smiling but still looking sad.
"Do you know what time it is? 4am. You told me you'd be here by 10 y/n." He asked.
"I know Darry. I just- i was so tired and stressed from work i just wanted to grab a drink. All i did was get 2 beers- which i didnt even finish ONE completely—"
"That doesn't matter! Jesus— me and sodapop found ya on your knees in the near middle of the road! Have you gone crazy??" By now he was raising his voice which got me scared because he had never looked at me the way he was now- and i really didn't want to wake pony up or worry soda so i told him to keep quiet.
"You really think i would go so far to being that irresponsible?? Jeez.. and like you said. I was SPIKED, Darry. A-all I remember was ordering 2 beers, and then two socs coming up to me and talking but i went to the restroom to freshen up and they were gone by the time i got back! I wasn't thinking! I didn't think they would do something like this! I figured if they wanted to bother me, they'd try to pick a fight but they didn't so i thought nothing of it! Okay!?" I said yelling as quiet as possible.
He still just sat there. Silent.
"And the fact that you don't care that i probably could have died for something that wasn't my fault!"
"Shut your mouth right now. You know quite well i would die if you died. Clearly you don't even consider my feelings- nor care about what could ever even happen when you go out drinking like that ALONE! Jesus i mean a guy see's a well looking lady alone in a bar you know they'd try something but did you stop to think about that? Nooo! Because im all independent-one hundred percent responsible y/n! I never think about anything besides what i want to do!" He said angrily, 'mimicking' me.
"Shut up Darry just shut up! God! D-do you know what i see in that hospital? What i do?? Im out here SAVING people's lives! Lives that are far more important than mine. Im not out here fighting them so i can 'be the hero! And resolve all the problems soc vs greaser!' That says a lot about ya! Maybe if you'd stop to consider how I feel instead of thinking about yourself and playing the big tough hero!" I said yelling a little louder now also mimicking him.
"How can you say that. You KNOW i fight a fair fight and thats to protect you, and the gang. Im not gonna sit here and "try my best" to mend things while other people get hurt by them soc's! I take action. i teach a lesson. which is more than you can say you cause 'ohh you alwayss have to play the good person y/n!" He yelled.
I didn't want to argue anymore. Or fight, or anything. My head was still pounding from the drug i got spiked with and even more now from the fighting.
I sighed and took a deep breath in.
"Darry. Im awful sorry. I know I disappointed you i shouldn't have gone alone. I-i just... my boss is putting so much patient files to work on, on me and i've had so many people coming in with bullet holes and bloodied faces and bodies and everything and it just hurts me.. i know im not any example of what i should be.. tough and brave.. but instead i'm a small and weak scared person. I-i just couldn't fight anyone. I tried but seeing what violence and fighting does to these people that come in everyday.. it scared me Darry."
I said beginning to cry. I covered my face with my palms to try and stop my self from crying. You just don't cry in front of Darry- even if i am his Girlfriend
"No.. no noo y/n you're not weak and small.. i didn't mean anything i said i was just... when i saw you sitting there on the street.. you weren't moving just.. staring blankly into the darkness.. you looked so sad and i got scared.. i thought i was gonna lose you to this drug but..." He looked extremely sorry.
"Truth is.. you're tougher than any greaser or even soc, That there is. You have to see people die right in front of your eyes. You have to live through the guilt that you couldn't save a life even though you did everything you could and yet you manage to stay positive, and outgoing, and.."
Darry was tearing up, which broke my heart.
"Im so sorry y/n. Im so sorry for everything i said you know i didnt mean any of it for a single second.." he pulled me up by my waist and hugged me.
"I know darry.. its okay." I said rubbing his back while hugging him tightly.
