I walk upstairs and grab some clothes. All I had in my closet was pretty much ripped jeans, and plaid shirts. Nothing fancy, not that we can't afford it, it's just because that's not my style... Also, because we can't afford it. I grab my clothes and look in the mirror, as usual, I look like a dude. For once, I feel like I need to look like a girl. A normal, pretty, beautiful... Girl. But I just shrugged at my request, I didn't feel like looking like one right now.
Tyler wouldn't judge me for that...Right? I mean, he's known me for a long time I guess, he hasn't really said anything about my clothing ever since I met him.
''Lilac! Are you almost done with dressing? Tyler's waiting!'' Darry shouts up at me.
''Can you just give me a second?!'' I scream down.
I put on my jeans and shirt. I look in the window, I looked good. I popped my collar, bam! I looked even better. Well, in my opinion. As I leave, I accidentally bump into my counter, and something falls on the ground. I turn around, it was perfume. I pick it up, and look at the label.
Wanna smell fresh? Well than put me on! I smell like a flower, a beautiful, pretty, new flower! Come on... Put me on...
I turn it around.
You hear me? I said... PUT ME ON!
My eyes went wide. I don't know if they put this on all of the bottles, or this bottle is talking to me. Or I'm just going insane like always. I turn it a little more.
Warning: Don't put more than a tiny squirt... If you do-
It was smudged at that part. I shrugged and lifted it up to my neck. My finger started pushing down ever so slightly. BOOM! My door exploded open. It was Sodapop. It scared the crap out of me, my finger pushes down on the squirter, but I pushed hard. It squirted all over my face. I started coughing my lungs out.
''Hey sis.'' Sodapop hops on my bed.
I couldn't breathe. I held my neck.
''So-'' Big breathe.
''Sod-'' Bigger breathe.
Sodapop finally sees me and my struggle to breathe. I fall to the ground, feeling like I was about to die. I see his feet running towards me. I couldn't breathe any longer, I was out. Out cold, I couldn't see anything, nothing but blackness. When I awoke, I was on the couch with an ice pack on my head. I sat up, but Sodapop was right there, he pushed my shoulders, and I lied back down.
''W-What happened?'' I asked while trying to look around.
''I don't know... But when I went into your room, you were choking on something... Pretty sure it wasn't chocolate cake sis.'' Sodapop says.
''Of course it wasn't chocolate cake you-'' I take a big gasp of air, my chest hurt like heck.
''Calm down Lil, I looked at the label, there was strawberries in it...'' Darry says.
''Yeah... So?''
''You're allergic to strawberries...'' Darry crosses his arms.
''Well how the hell-''
''Hey! No swearing!'' Ponyboy points out. As always.
I sigh.
''How the heck was I supposed to know I was allergic to strawberries exactly?'' I ask.
''I don't know, but you put a hell of a lot of it on, why? Strawberries don't smell that great.'' Darry says.
''I was putting a little on, until mr. perfect came barging into my room.'' I state.
''Sorry sis, I didn't know you were putting perfume on at that part.'' Sodapop says.
I look around, I felt like something was missing... Than it clicked!
''Where's Tyler?'' I ask.
''Oh, he went home.'' Ponyboy answers.
''H-He went home?!'' I shout.
''Yeah! You were taking to long, so Sodapop went up to check on you. And you blacked out, and Soda carried you downstairs. Than Tyler thought he was here at a bad time so he left.'' Ponyboy explains.
''Did he say that he would ever come back?'' I ask.
''Don't think so.'' Darry says.
I moan, I get up and go upstairs. I go into my room and fall onto my bed and put my hands over my face. This was my only chance with Tyler, and I blew it. I blew it hard.
