Finally, the next day I went to go visit Soda. I got into Lisa's car and drove off. I parked in the driveway, it was a cloudy hot day. I walked into the house, Soda was on the couch sitting next to Pony and Steve.

"Kim!" Pony and Soda said in Sync. "I feel like I haven't seen you in forever," Pony said

I smiled in relief, I thought they would've been mad at me for not visiting.

I walk up to them, I put my hand on sodas cheek, there was a bruise. 

"Oh my god, Soda. Your face" I said, frowning.

He just smiled "It's okay, it doesn't hurt that much"

"Man all this is my fault," I said, looking down "I shouldn't have dragged you to that stupid party"

Soda faced me, lifted my face and said "Kim, none of this is your fault"

Then I remembered Peter doing that exact thing to me.

\Flash back\

"Is Dally on bail?" I asked

"Yeah, his friend's are going to bail him out" 

"Nah, I will"

"Why?"

"Because this is all my fault, the least I can do is bail my brother out for the 97th time"

Peter faced me, lifted my face and said "Kimberly, none of this is your fault"

I ignored what he said "Eyes on the road dummy"

\End of flashback\

"Kim..? You okay?" Ponyboy asked

I stopped daydreaming "Yeah sorry, wheres Dal?" I asked, changing the subject

"He's out causing trouble" Soda answered. 

I looked over at Steve and he wouldn't look me in the eyes and I still don't know why.

"Why didn't you come earlier? We were scared that Soc took advantage of you or something" Soda asked

"Huh? Oh, he did" I said, casually, they all looked at me like I just killed their families

"What? I thought that's what the fights were about?" I asked, confused

"Noo we were talking about the person who hosted the party, the guy's house who u stayed at," 

"Ohh, Peter? No, he was really nice and drove me home.

"Darry almost killed Soda and Dally for letting you stay at his house," Pony said

"I don't blame them, who leaves a drunk girl at some guys house?" I said, jokingly

"Heyy Stephany was there and she was the one who convinced us it was okay for you to stay with her and Peter" Soda defended himself

"Wait, what even was the fight about? No one told that much about it" I asked.

It was silent for a few seconds

"Micheal had left the bedroom and he was coming downstairs. Stephany and I were both looking for you and she told me you were talking to Micheal so I went up to him and asked him where you were... His response just made me mad you know?" Soda finished, without properly answering my question

"Uhh no I don't know because I don't know what his response was" 

The look on Soda's expression was... An expression I've never seen on him. It was kind of a blend of sadness and disgust. I guess the disgusting part makes sense, Peter told me Micheal was talking about me in a "disgusting" way and Soda clearly didn't like that and they started fighting.
