Soda POV

I busted in through the front door, 2 hours earlier than I usually do. Mr. Rodgers, my boss, sent me home early because the DX was due for inspection. He claimed, he wanted everything to be perfect and me and Steve, always joking around, could ruin it. Whatever though, I enjoy bumming around and doing nothing in particular.

I thought I heard Ponyboy in the bedroom, but that was impossible. It was only 2:00pm, he should still be at school. I rested my case and plopped down on the couch instead.

Soon after, I heard the same sound, but again I ignored it. If I hear it again, I'll definitely check things out. I thought to myself. Sure enough I heard it again, and like I promised myself, I got up to check it out.

I got to the door of the room and pressed my ear against it. I closed my eyes and listened really hard.

"Ponyboy, Ponyboy! Oh, lord Jesus! Help me! Please!" A female voice called.

"You're too tight..." Ponyboy returned. I cocked an eyebrow and held my breath as I charged in there.

The room smelled of sweat and sex and there were clothes all over the floor. They didn't seem to hear me come in, so I gasped. "Oh my god!" That got them. They jumped apart quickly and pulled the covers up to they're chin.

"Soda. You're home early." Ponyboy stated. I looked at him, mainly in shock, but also in disgust. I mean- I sleep on that bed, too.

My cheeks burned in embarrassment. Hello! Your brother is naked along with his girlfriend! Earth to Sodapop! "Um...you can finish...or, er...get dressed." I said, and I quickly left the room.

"Holy fuck." I whispered to myself. I walked into the kitchen, grabbed a coke and sat down on the couch; sighing deeply in the process. What am I getting myself into?

Moments later, Ponyboy came out holding the hand of the girl he was with, leading the way.

"Sit down." I said, and they did, too close for my liking. They were practically sitting on top of each other. "Look, I'm not gonna tell Darry. But that doesn't mean that it's okay to do what you were doing. Y'all used rubbers, right?"

"Yes, we did." Ponyboy said, nodding. "And we were careful. Really, really careful."

"I know you were, but you're just...too young, Ponyboy. I don't like thinking about you doing things like that, you know?"

"I guess I understand, but Sodapop, I'm not a kid anymore. Things change, people change."

"I know. But I wish they didn't..." I looked at the clock. "Maybe you're girlfriend should go home, Darry'll be back soon and you know how he feels about having girls over when he's not present."

Ponyboy nodded. "Bye Sweets." He kissed her passionately. I had to look away. I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later, but I guess I was leaning more on later.
