Your POV 

I woke up in a familiar room. My head was hurting so bad. As my eyes fluttered open I noticed I was in Pony's and Soda's room. What am I doing here? I didn't feel so great. I had to let it all out so I threw up. I heard the door open and Sodapop came in.

"You're awake,"he said. I nodded.

"How do you feel?"he asked as he cleaned up my throw up.

"My head is throbbing and my stomach hurts"i said

"Here, these will help with that,"he said, handing over a bottle of pills. I sat up and drank two aspirins. I had just remembered a little about what had happened last night. Oh dear I'm dead meat.

"Where's Two-bit?"i asked

"Playing football outside with guys, do you want me to go get him?"Sodapop asked

"Yes please"I said. He nodded and started to walk out the door but then he stopped.

"Y/n?"he said

"Yeah?"i replied

"What happened betwe- nevermind" he said

"No tell me"i said

"It's nothing, forget it"he smiled like he always does and shot out the door. I wonder what he was going to say. I ignored it though.

"I see you're finally awake"Two-bit says making me snap out of my thoughts.

"Ahaha yeah"i said

"Y/n, why did you drink?"he asked with his arms crossed

"Sorry, I know that was the stupidest thing I ever did. You drank all the time and I didn't see anything wrong with it. Sorry, i wasn't thinking" i said

"Y/n, I don't want you to end up like me. You are smarter than this. Yes it was stupid of you to do that but you could've gotten yourself killed. You put Lucas's life at risk. I wouldn't ever forgive myself if anything happened to you Y/n"he said. At this point i felt so guilty, Two-bit is always joking around but this time he was serious. I didn't mean to.

"Just don't ever drink a single drop of alcohol again, Okay?"he said. I nodded and I gave him a hug.

"Now I won't ground ya this time but if i ever hear or see that you're drinking, I'll kill ya, ya hear me?"he cocked his eyebrow. I swallowed saliva and nodded slowly.

"Ayeee, you're awake" Steve shouted. Everyone was at the door being so nosy like always. I had expected Two-bit would be mad at me and ground me forever but he just acted like nothing ever happened but I didn't mind. What bothered me was that Ponyboy hadn't spoken a word since I woke up. After a little chat, Soda and Steve had to go to work and Darry also left for work. Two-bit left on the first day of work, which everyone congratulated him on. Dally just went to find some trouble as usual. I was feeling sick so I didn't go to school. Leaving Johnny and Pony to take care of me. I told them I didn't need a babysitter and that I'd be fine on my own but they don't trust me. I don't blame them. Johnny was in the kitchen making breakfast and Pony was in the room with me sitting on the rocking chair next to the bed. He was drawing. I wanted to see if he was okay. So why not ask?

"Are you okay?"We both said simultaneously. I guess we were thinking the same thing.

"Ladies first"he said

"I was just wondering if you're okay? It's just you haven't said a word since I woke up"i said

"I'm good, I'm just...a little worried about you. You never touched a drop of alcohol in your life until... Lucas came along"

"Lucas isn't that bad. It wasn't his fault. It was mine, he didn't even know i stole the beer bottles, I think if you got to know him better, y'all could be frien-"

"See that's the thing, you never steal, you've changed since you met him, that's why last night I told him to stay away from you"he interrupted

"YOU DID WHAT?"i yelled

"I was just trying to protect you from getting hurt"he said

"I don't need someone to protect me. I can do that myself. Lucas has nothing to do with what I did. That was my fault, not his! I don't need you to tell me who I need and don't need in my life. As you heard it's my damn life! The only person who changed here is you! Now I'm sorry if you think Lucas is bad for me, but as far as i know he has done nothing to hurt me. If you excuse me, I need to go apologize to someone for your damn mistake."I said getting up. I was about to leave when I noticed that it was super windy outside. I sighed and just decided to ask.

"I forgot my jacket, can I borrow one yours?" I said looking down at my feet. He took off the jacket he was wearing and handed it to me. He always wore that jacket.

"Are you sure you wanna give me that one?" i asked

"Yeah, it looks better on you anyway" He chuckled. I rolled my eyes and started to make my way out.

"Y/n wait"he said stepping in front of me.

"What?"i said

"I'm sorry"

"Me too" I brushed past his shoulder and told Johnny goodbye.
