Scars
I've always been told, by Dallas and them, that I'm good looking. Kinda pretty boy-ish like the Socs only with my heavily greased hair and wide 'puppy-like' black eyes. I agreed a little, I wasn't ugly or anything but I wouldn't go as far as to say I was Dally-good looking or Sodapop handsome. And, besides, looks didn't mean much to me, anyhow.
That was until the person I love found me beaten, bloody ad crying that is.
I had hoped that the scar I had gotten from the bastard's rings would fade. I'd never felt self-conscious around Ponyboy, or anyone else until then. We had just started 'officially' dating about a week before and we were both a little shy, but I was never self conscious about looks until I woke up bloody and dirty with a large scar on my face from where his rings dug into my skin.
I had cringed when I first saw it.
Why would he want to look at me now? My scar wasn't tuff looking or anything, and I just knew every time he saw it he'd think of me, in the alleyway, bleeding and crying and not at all tuff or as strong as any of the guys. He already thought of me as 'stray puppy like', what would this make him think of me now....?
I'm pulled out of my thoughts at the feeling of something warm and soft pressing against the scarred side of my face. Turning around, a light blush on my face, I see a grinning Ponyboy who immediately presses another kiss to my scar before kissing my lips softly and going back to his book. Touching my scar, I smile a little.
Maybe it wasn't all that bad. After all, now I had something for him to permanently 'kiss' better.
