Intoxicated Love

Soda POV
It was the afternoon now, and everyone was getting hungry.
"We should go to the Dingo" Steve suggested and everyone agreed.
"Two, you really shouldn't be going anywhere, you need to heal" I tried to tell him, but he wouldn't listen.
"I'll be fine" he reassured me. I sighed and we all got up and left. The five of us got some food and left after about an hour. Luckily, I made Two-bit wear a sweater so no one would stare at his arms. We headed back to my house again, and I was the first to walk in. I saw Darry in the kitchen, he was finally up.

"Ah Superman's up huh?" Asked Steve walking in after me. Darry was rummaging through our medicine cabinet when he noticed that we had walked into the house.
"Haha" he spoke sarcastically in response, "Soda do we have any head pain medicines?" "Uh yeah we should" I responded, and got Two back on the couch and he turned on some Mickey.

Darry found the pills that he was looking for and took them. Then he walked over to me and asked "what'd I miss?". I laughed a little, then I explained everything that happened in the last day or so. His face was as shocked as the gang's were when they found out.
"Two-bit, why would you do that over my kid sister?" He asked him. Two looked embarrassed, his face turning red, and said "it doesn't matter".
"Anyways, so Dal went to get y/n and he said he'll be gone for almost two days?" Darry asked me and I nodded.
"When'd he leave?" "This morning" "ok" he said with a nod and sat down in his chair, letting out an exhausted breath.

"What time'd you come home last night Dar?" I asked him, he looked down and said "four". I silently nodded.

We all hung out for the rest of the day and we decided to have a gang sleepover. I went to bed that night quite antsy.
"Soda stop jittering and go to sleep. I can't sleep when the whole beds shaking" Ponyboy groaned.
"Sorry" I said and was eventually able to calm myself.

I just really hope that y/n is ok and comes back home.

My first thought as I woke up the next morning was "is y/n here?". I really needed to distract myself, this whole thing was taking over my brain and there was nothing I could do to control the outcome. Whatever that would be.

I got up and walked out to the living room knowing that Darry was probably already awake to make breakfast. Steve was up and dressed for work "Soda! We have work today, go get ready!" He told me.
"I'm not going to work until y/n gets back" I told him, "we still have another day for her to be back at most. What if she doesn't want to come back and Dal leaves her there? Then what?".

I didn't like the thought of her not coming back.

"Then I'll at least wait for Dally" I said and sat on the couch with my arms crossed. He rolled his eyes and went to get some breakfast, which was whatever Darry was making. Then Two-bit woke up.

"Is she here!?" He asked as soon as he opened his eyes, "no" I said looking down.
"Oh" he sighed, and got up and went to get some chocolate cake. Then Pony and Johnny got up for school and got ready. They ate their breakfast, while I remained on the couch. I wasn't hungry anyway.

They were walking to the door saying their goodbyes, when it opened and walked in Dallas Winston.

And following behind him was Y/n Curtis.
