Chapter 3

The next day I woke up in my BRAND NEW HOUSE I was really happy. Sodapop, had went home at around one o'clock in the morning, I looked at the clock it was noon. I got up and walked downstairs. I went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. I pulled out an apple and sat down and ate it.

I heard the door open. I saw James, my mom, Two-Bit and Soda come in. "Hey, you guys." I said.

"Hey, sleepy head," James said.

"What are you four doing?" I asked.

"We've been moving some things over here for about 2 hours," Two-Bit said.

"Really?" I said. "Why didn't you guys wake me up so I could help?"

"We just thought that we would let you sleep" James said. "You two were up pretty late."

"yeah, You really should have woken me up though." I said.

"It is no big deal, we are done for the day, we have a lot of stuff moved over, it is fine" My mom said.

"Okay, well tomorrow, school starts up again!" I said.

"Yeah, it was nice seeing you all weekend," Soda said sarcastically.

"Hey, I came back earlier, than I could of so I could be with you for a day." I said.

"Yeah, I know, I was hoping since it is memorial day weekend, we could have just could have relaxed all weekend." He said.

"I'm sorry," I said.

"Well, why don't we go to see the fellas." Soda suggested.

"Okay, lets go." We walked out of the house, "I will be back later."

"Mary, um, you know, next weekend the boys are suppose to come up?" He asked.

"Well, see, I was kinda hoping that maybe we could go down to the lake and spend the weekend there." He said

"Well, can't we do it this weekend?" I asked.

"Well, see the thing is, that I could only get next weekend off."

What so I have to make a decision to see Alex, Joey, and Greg, or spend the weekend with Soda.

I was silent. "So is that a yes?" He asked,

"yeah, I'll call, the guys when we get to your place." I said.

I looked at the road. Is Soda finally getting jealous of them? I mean I have been going down there since we started going out. I mean, I don't see what the big deal is.

"Soda?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Why are you getting jealous over them?" I asked.

"Because, I don't get to spend every weekend with you like I want to. I mean, when you go down there, I can't be with you obviously, but when they are up here, it is like your world evolves around them, I mean, it gets so annoying!"

"I am sorry, but seeing them helps me cope with Brett dying." I said.

"It was two months ago, he treated you like shit, how can you even miss him?"

"You didn't hear, what he said to me before he died….."

Flashback…..

I heard a loud BANG everyone got silent. It sounded like a gun shot. The soc started to run. "Who got shot?" I asked Soda.

"Brett!" I heard Greg yelled. I ran to where he was. "Call an ambulance!"

I ran over and saw that Brett had been shot in the chest. "No, it would be faster if we just took him!" I yelled. Me, Joey, Alex, and Greg carriedBrett to the car. We rode to the hospital as fast as we could. "Mary, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I love all of you guys"

"We all love you too." Joey said. When we got there, I ran inside.

"My friend was shot we are bringing him in." She ran and got a doctor.

The doctor came out. "What is the name of the patient?"

"Brett Dickerson." I said. They were bringing him. They led us to a room.

"Are any of you family?" The doctor asked. We shook our heads. "Then you have to stay out here."

We waited in the waiting room forever. OMG! I can't believe this is actually happening. I mean, he can't die, he has to be okay.

Soda came in, I ran up and hugged him. "They aren't letting us know anything. God, Soda what if he dies." I cried in his shoulder. He rubbed my back.

"He'll be okay." Soda said.

The doctor came out. "Are you his friends?" He asked. We nodded. "Look, the bullet hit one of the main artries to his heart. I'm so sorry, but he just passed away."

I fell to the ground. "Oh my god. No" I cried. Soda came and hugged me.

End flashback

"What did he say?"

"He apologized for everything he put me through." I said.

"Wow, and you accepted it." He said.

"Soda…" I said. I couldn't even finish.

We pulled up into the driveway, I got out, and walked around. I walked inside. Soda came in.

"Mary, you know, I am right, he treated you like shit!"

"HE IS THE REASON I AM ALIVE RIGHT NOW!"

"How?"

"AFTER JEFF RAPED ME I WAS REALLY DEPRESSED, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, I WAS GOING TO KILL MYSELF, HE WAS MY SHOULDER TO CRY ON!"

"How is that saving your life"

"HE TALKED TO ME! Showed me and told me it would get better, that he…" I trailed off. "That he would always…be there…."I started crying. "He told me…he…would…always…be there…for me to talk to him…he swore, he would help…me…through any…problem…I had…now he can't, cause he's dead." I choked out between tears. I collapsed.

I felt someone hold me. I looked and saw it was Darry. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine," I wiggled out of his arms and went to the porch. I sat down.

"Mary…" it was Darry.

"Where is Soda?" I asked.

"In his room, he is stubborn you should know this." He said.

"Oh trust me I know." I said.

"Is Brett's death still bothering you that much?" He asked.

I nodded. "It's like, I don't wanna talk to anyone about it. Brett, I don't know, I could tell him anything, he knew literally everything about me, within a month he found out my entire life story." I was still crying. "Now, I can't talk to him." I started crying again.

"It's okay." He said. I heard the door open.

"Darry, will you let me and Mary talk." Soda said.

Darry walked inside, and closed the door. "Mary I'm sorry, I was out of line."

"Yeah, you were."

"Well, I do want to go to the lake next weekend." He said.

"Okay, I will go call Bre..I mean I will go call Alex." I walked inside.

"Hey!" IT was Soda. "See if they can come down this weekend."

I smiled. "Okay."

I dialed the number. –Hello?—

"Hey, Joe" I said.

--Hey—

"um, next weekend you guys are suppose to come down, me and Soda are going to the lake for the weekend"

--So we can't come down?—

"Well, you could but I won't be here, so why don't you guys come down this weekend."

--Okay, yeah, that will work out.—

"Great see you then" I hung up.

"They are coming down?" Soda asked. I nodded. "I am so sorry, Okay, I love you."

"I love you too."
