Chapter 2:
Tender Is the Night
Now here I am in the exact same park that sent my life to heaven and hell all at once. The night Dallas Winston appeared into my life. Now that I look back to the times we had. Most of them weren't good memories. Actually most were of him cheating on me or arguments. That's our relationship. But somehow some way I still loved the bastard. I promised myself and him that I was going to stick by him no matter what. Only death can separate us, and that's exactly what happened. Dally was the one that saved me from the depth of the ocean I was surrounded by, yet it's like he pulled me out but pushed me back in and is holding my head underneath the water so I can drown quicker. The pain in my chest was unbearable. I had a huge lump in my throat from holding all the tears in. While I watch Dally get shot down by the police, I had ran to him watch as the life was sucked out of his eyes. That was the worst pain I have ever felt. But not a single tear came out. I was sick of crying over him. I have wasted one too many tears on Dally. Yet here I am trying with all my might to hold back these tears. I sat on the fountains' edge, and let the tears fall silently. I heard footsteps, and the déjà vu was inevitable. I couldn't help but have hope that was my Dallas walking to me but when I turned around it was Sodapop walking to me. My face fell a little in disappointment. Don't get me wrong I like Soda. He just isn't the person I was hoping for. He sat down beside me. And we were completely silent for what seemed to be an eternity. I finally decided to ease the tension.
"Do you think Dally ever cared for me?"
He looked me in the eyes
"I saw the way he looked at you Tendira" he said softly
I rolled my eyes at the use of my full name. He realized what he did and smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry Tender"
Sodapop was everything that a normal girl would want. He's caring, loyal, honest, and incredibly handsome. But for some odd reason I see him as a wimp. I like guys like Dallas mean, tough, cool but look where he got me.
"I hate em' Soda" I said barely above a whisper.
He nodded his head and sighed deeply. He place his hand on mine ad began to rub small circle on my knuckles. I leaned my head on his shoulder and let it all out.
"You know u don't really mean that Tender" He said in a monotype tone, referring to what I had previously had said.
"Come on let's get you home"
We walked the short distance to the Curtis' house and claimed the couch. I set my throbbing had on the rough pillow not bothering to change to clothes that weren't stained in blood. Soon sleep over came my exhausted body and I fell in to and dreamless slumber.
