The Outsiders Prompts 🤍

one shot - darry curtis (part 2)

-The door creaked open and you naturally shut your eyes before you saw the scene. Another silence hit the house; opening your eyes seemed like a deadly match but you did so anyways.-

  The harsh reality hit you as soon as you woke. What had happened last night was real; so real that it made your heart ache.

"Why don't you just get outta here and go home?"

  Darry's words were as cold as ice. He had never spoken to you like that and it was all you could think about.

You rolled over on your bed to search for your phone.

8:17am.

  You mesmerized your lock screen photo. It was your favorite picture of you and Darry; a picture Sodapop had taken. Darry's eyes were so full of love and were so pure that it was unimaginable knowing he had a dark side. A dark side you wished you had never known.

  Not shocking, you noticed no new messages from Darry. You decided to shoot Ponyboy a text to check on how he was doing.

Good morning Pony, everything okay? :)

  As you waited for a response, and deep in your heart a message from Darry, you decided to get ready to start your day. You took a quick shower and made yourself breakfast. As you ate, your phone buzzed; it was Ponyboy.

Morning (y/n). So far so good. Darry left for work a while ago.

  When you read his text, all that went through your mind was Darry's pride. Even though you had gotten into a fight last night, you'd expect a morning text from him yet he failed to send one. Darry sure was something different when he was heated.

I'm glad you're okay. Talk to you later.

  The gloom in your heart made you lose your appetite. You tried to fight back your tears but failed. They streamed down your face as you were heartbroken by the man you loved. You wished he knew how much his pride hurt you; what was he even thinking?

  You spent that morning by yourself at your house, and tried to clear your mind by doing your chores. You kept busy on anything as long as you didn't think of Darry or last night's brawl.

  Your phone buzzed once again only this time it was a phone call. Your heart skipped a beat and hoped it was Darry. It wasn't. Yet again it was your favorite kid, Ponyboy.

"Hello?", you answered. 

"(y/n)! How you holding up?", he kindly asked.

"Well..", you let out a sigh, "I'm okay I guess.", you answered with a knot in your throat.

"Well I know something that will make you feel better!", he chimed. "The guys and I are heading to Keystone Lake to spend the day, wanna come along?", his invitation sounded sincere.

"That sounds like fun, but–"

"Don't worry.", he cut you off. "Darry's grumpy ass ain't coming. Before he left for work, he didn't say when he'd be back like he usually does. So what do ya say?", he asked once more.
