I would like to thank GreaserGirlie for helping me out with some rough patches! Really makes a difference(: And I own nothing about "Crazier", by Taylor Swift. ! I only own Molly& her family, and Kay. Review!
I walked in my house, spiritually flying. I ran to my room, and grabbed my guitar. My escape. The old teal notebook was hidden in a broken floorboard, god forbid anyone ever find it. I smiled at the last song I'd written, after I'd really fallen hard for Sodapop Curtis. I picked up my guitar and strummed to the beat.
I never gone with the wind you lift my feet off the ground you spin me around I watched from a distance as you made life your own you lift my feet off the ground, you spin me around ohhhhh Baby you showed me what living is for
Just let it flow
let it take me where it wants to go
'till you open the door there's so much more
I never seen it before
I was tryin' to fly
but I couldn't find wings
but you came along and you changed everything
you make me crazier crazier
feels like I'm falling
and I'm lost in your eyes
you make me crazier, crazier, crazier
every sky was your own kind of blue
and I wanted to know how that would feel
and you made it so real
you showed me something that I couldn't see
you opened my eyes and you made me believe
you make me crazier, crazier
feels like I'm falling
and I'm lost in your eyes
you make me crazier crazier, crazier
I dont want to hide anymore orrrreee
And I heard dad walk in the front door. "Hi, daddy." I greeted him.
"Hey, pumpkin. How was your day?" and it was then when his frail bones, weary eyes, and bald head really stood out to me. I had to stand strong right then though. Cryin' twice in a day was too much.
"It was actually great." I usually refrained from asking him how his days had been in the past months. We all have.
"I heard ya' singin'. Was that about that Cocacola kid? Kay's brother? He's a nice kid."
" His name's Sodapop, dad! And actually, it was." I smiled.
"I like him. I think he will treat you right when I can't anymore." He said with a tear in his eye.
"I love you, dad." And I caught him in a tight embrace, he didn't even fight it, like usual. He hugged back. I gave up with the tough act. Cryin' is good for you, right?
"Love you too, kiddo."
It was then when mom walked in. "Oh my." And she ran over and joined in our hug.
"We're going to stay a family. Don'tcha worry your pretty little mind about that, Mol. I'll always be with you. Whenever you need guidance, look up at the stars. I'll be with 'em. Don't worry, I'll be fine." My dad was legitimately sobbing. It was the first time I'd ever seen him cry.
That day was a bonding day for me, momma, dad, and even Josh for a lil bit. We looked through scrapbooks, and watched television.
The doorbell rang a little after mom left for work. Me and my dad were lying on the couch, watching I Love Lucy. I peeked through the peephole, at the worried face of Sodapop. "It's Soda… he looks worried. He can come in, can't he?" I asked dad.
"Of course!" He answered,
I creaked the door opened, and hugged him. "Hey, what's up?"
"I needa talk to you, in private." He was really serious, or scared. Either one. "Hello, Mr. Carr."
"Hi, son." My dad nodded.
"Oh, okay?" I was skeptical about the whole situation. I led him upstairs and sat him down on my bed.
"So I talked to Kay. Well sorta, at least." His face was solemn.
"And?" now I was worried.
"She didn't take it good. Actually her reaction was downright horrid. She left the house. Flat out ran. Pony followed her. He can get through to her real good when nobody else can."
"Well, do you want me to try? Or would you rather we just didn't do anything about this?" I wasn't shocked that she reacted this way.
"Molly, I'm not letting you go." He took both my hands, "We're gonna be together, I'll make sure of it. And she likes you most right now. It's best if ya talk to her." Soda said honestly.
"Okay, I'll come back to your house, then? I'll find her, and talk to her." With a nod, he kissed me and smiled.
We set off to the Curtis'.
"Hey, Soda?"
"Yeah?"
"How long have you liked me? Or is this justa' spur of the moment thing?" I asked. I was really curious.
"Since about three years ago. I really matured then, and even when I was with Sandy, I saw you in a new light. I really noticed how beautiful you are, and your personality just is great."
I blushed, and smiled at the ground.
"So, here's the real question, Molly Carr. How long have you liked me?"
"Well, I guess as long as I've known you…" I felt kinda weird saying it. Like kind of creepy. Of course these feelings only worsened when he only grinned at the pavement. "Well, this is awkward…"
"No, it's not!" He smiled warmly at me, took my hand, and stopped me on the sidewalk. Butterflies had invaded my stomach completely. He looked in my eyes, leaned in close, and before our lips reunited, whispered, "It's adorable." His warm lips met mine, and I linked my arms around his neck. His arms around me, it was bliss.
HONK!
"HOLY SHIT! WHEN WERE YOU TWO GOING TO TELL THE REST OF US!" Two-Bit got out of his mother's car.
"Jesus fucking Christ, Two-Bit! Wanna not scare the living daylights out of us next time?" Soda shouted.
"There's gonna be a next time? Ooh, where and when? I wouldn't wanna miss another make out session!"
I flipped him off. "We need a ride to Curtis'. You wanna go?" I asked.
" I s'pose. I got nothing better to do with my day than watch you two tongue wrestle." Two-Bit remarked.
Soda rolled his eyes.
"So how long has thing been going on?" Two-Bit asked.
"Today." We responded in unison, and laughed.
"Well isn't Kay upset?"
"Yup." We – again – replied together… and I blushed.
"How cute! Look at how red her face is Sodie!" Two-Bit winked. Soda laughed right along with him.
I got right out of the car right as we pulled into the gravel driveway. I swallowed hard. Soda took my hand, I looked at him for reassurance, we both nodded, and walked in through the screen door.
