One Life..

Disclaimer: I do not own the outsiders or any right's to it. I only own the plot line and my character.

Once we got to our destination I looked around, but I tried not to think much of it as I looked over at Darry with a small smile,

Me- Did you have a bad day at work babe?

I asked Darry once we got out of the truck, and he came around and helped me up into the truck's bed and sighed as he looked at me, rubbing his face nodding

Dar- yeah, I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to be rude. It was a long day, I heard about Tim being brought into the ER, How's he doing?

Me- He's alright, he's stable, he won't be out for a few days, and then he's looking at jail time for his crimes, not like he did anything, but what do they care? He didn't start this one for once.

Darry laughed lightly as he smiled, man I missed that smile. I was thinking since Tims looking at being away from home for a while, that I'd just stay with Darry since Curly was already in the slammer, and Angel moved out a while ago. I looked up at him and smiled,

Me- I'm really happy that we can just spend some time together, just you and me

Dar- Me too babe, Look… I was hoping that maybe… well maybe you'd spend some time away from Sheppard's? See how you… I don't know like living with.. Well me?

Me- I'd like that Darry, I was just wondering the same thing…

Darry just smiled and pulled me closer to him wrapping his arms around me. With a smile as he leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips.

Dar- I packed us a picnic, so we could eat under the stars, I thought it would be better than going out, I hope you don't mind babe.

Me- I don't mind at all hunny. I think that's romantic.

I responded with a smile on my face, as did he. Darry leaned over me and grabbed the basket before he leaned over and kissed me again, once he grabbed out the food and two slices of chocolate cake he looked over at me.

Dar- I'm sorry about it being Chocolate cake, I didn't have time to make a different dessert.

Me- That's fine Darry, I like chocolate cake.

I replied with a smile as I leaned over and kissed Darry, and once again it was just a soft and sweet one. After the kiss we started eating and finished eating our dinner, and dessert before we headed back to Tim's for me to pack up some clothes for a couple of nights. I got back to his car and started to head up back to his house.

Finally getting there we smiled as he grabbed my bags and I grabbed the basket from dinner. We brought our things in; he brought mine to the room as I started unpacking the dishes from dinner. Once they were all unpacked Darry came down and grabbed a towel to dry the dishes with, while I started washing them and handing them to him.

I was just smiling after the day I had today, well at least the ending part, I wasn't putting too much thought into what Tim said. I looked over at Darry once we crawled into bed.

Me- I had a great time tonight baby, and I really needed it, thank you.

I said as I kissed him. I knew he was going to respond but I just wanted to kiss him.

Dar- I did to babe, I did to.

He responded as he kissed me and then pulled me closer under the blankets as we laid our heads down on the pillow. We both said good night, before drifting off into a deep sleep.

The Next Day…

We had both already awaken, and had breakfast and cake ready, we had some, and woken the boys up, before I left for work. I got into work early today, I told Darry that I wanted to see how Tim was doing so I'd be visiting..

I walked into his room and looked at him, laughing softly as I shook my head at myself,

Of course he wasn't awake yet, what was I thinking? I should have just stayed later to visit him, ooh… wait Darry had me bring him food! I'll wake him up with that since I cooked, and he loves my cooking… ughh duh! Wow I need to think today; maybe I shouldn't be working today… No I know why I can't think, it's Tim's fault if he didn't say he loves me to me the other day than I'd be fine! It would just be like any other day, well besides the fact that he's in the hospital.

Tim called my name bringing me from my thoughts.

Tim- Hey! Gloria! Baby doll! You just gunna stand there and stare at me all day or what?

Me- Oh shut up Tim, I was just thinking, and how the fuck are you up so early?

Tim- I could smell your cooking

Me- Oh right! Here you go.

I said as I handed him the food and grabbed his chart to see how he was doing before looking over at him and walking over to him,

Me- How are ya feelin today Timmy? Anything wrong?

Tim- Yeah, My feelings.

I just froze, I didn't know what to say, and I didn't know what to do, all I could do was stand there mute, I didn't even fucking look smart for fuck sakes! Why! Why does my best friend have to love me?! FUCK MY LIFE! I Sighed as I looked over at Tim with a small frown…

Me- I… I… I'm really sorry Tim! I am, but I'm with Darry, I… I do care a lot about you Tim, but please don't make this any harder than it has to be.

I said with a few tears running down my face as I finally look away from Tim, I go to leave but he grabbed me and pulled me into a hug, no matter how hard I tried to fight it he wouldn't let go.. In a way this may have been the beginning of the end.
