Chapter 7
Pony's POV
Steve, Cassie, Soda and I just left the house and started walking towards the Shepherds. We could hear the party several blocks away and was completely surprised that the
neighbours hadn't called the cops yet. However I guess if Tim Shepherd was your neighbour, the last thing you'd want is for him to find out you called the cops on his party. I
noticed Soda kept casting sideways glances at me, or maybe it was Cassie, who was walking directly beside me..man he sure was protective of her. "Now guys listen up" Soda
started, he sounded serious for a moment before going back to his dancing personality. "I stuck my neck out for you two to get here tonight. So don't do anything stupid..and if
you do, don't let Darry find out" he looked at me and smirked when he mentioned the word 'stupid.' …yah, yah I know, I don't use my head. We walked up the steps and into
the house but was greeted with such loud music I was surprised the speakers hadn't blown yet. All around us teenagers were guzzling drinks, making out in the corner and
putting white powder into straight lines on the coffee table. Drunken greaser girls stumbled past us with their drink in one hand and their guy for the night in the other, leading
them to the bedrooms upstairs. A cute blond winked at Soda from across the room who didn't look completely smashed yet.
Cassie's POV
I noticed the blond girl checking out Soda yet was more interested in Soda's response. The perfect little smirk and he was off to talk to her. Steve looked around for a second
more or two looking for everyone he knew, or maybe people he was trying to avoid. I'm not quite sure, either way he was going to be distracted soon so Pony and I could find
a place to be together. He smiled..he must have seen the girl he was looking for. Before he started walking towards her he shot me and Pony a look. "Don't do ANYTHING
stupid." That's all he said before he walked away from us and probably into a bed with that chick. I looked around to make sure no one was we knew was in glancing distance
of us.
Neither of us wanted to get caught by our brothers. Realizing the coast was clear I grabbed his hand and lead him away from the large crowd and into the dark hallway. The
moment we were out of viewing distance from our brothers I kissed him. Steve wouldn't let me wear heals tonight so I had to stand on my tiptoes to reach him.
Pony's POV
As soon as Cassie's lips touched mine it only took a moment before I deepened it. It was always so hard to be around the gang with her, and never being able to kiss her or to
hold her. I gently pushed Cassie against the wall as I continued to kiss her, moving my hand from her waist to just under her shirt. She wrapped her arms around my neck and
pulled me closer to her. As her fingers ran through my hair I kissed her harder and more fiercely. "Hey!" We jumped back from each other just as Tim Shepherd passed by us,
"throw me another beer!" He called to a buddy of his in the other room, as he walked out of the hallway. Cassie looked at me, feeling just as frustrated as I about us being
interrupted. I reached my hand out to her and as she grasped it I pulled her to me.
Cassies POV
Pony pulled me closer to him and kissed me gently while he still held my hand against his chest with his own. I saw the mischief in his eyes and already knew what he was
thinking. "Pony we can't go to the bedrooms!" I looked at him as if he were crazy but he only smirked back. "Why not? It's not like we haven't done it before." He whispered.
On the one hand he made an excellent point, we have already slept together a few times, this time wouldn't make a difference. Damn his sexy smirk, it will be the death of me
one day. "But what will we do if we get caught by Soda or Steve? It's one thing if they caught us kissing but a completely other story if they catch us in bed together! Steve
would skin you alive!" I hissed back. Yet at the same time..I really didn't care if Steve and Soda walked in on us. I mean I'd be embarrassed as hell but I wouldn't really care
about their opinion of Pony and my relationship. He looked at me and chuckled at my argument. "You actually think that Steve and Soda will be looking for us yet? They are
going to be here for at least a couple more hours, and if they did look for us they would assume we went for a walk way before they even thought about checking the
bedrooms." …he did make a good point. And with that I grabbed his hand and lead him upstairs.
Soda's POV
"Hey Steve!" I called across the room. Even though I'm sure he heard me, he didn't move his drunken ass from on top of that girl on the sofa. I walked over to him and gently
pulled him away from the girl who looked like she was about to pass out. "Whah…tah doing So..Duh?" He slurred a sentence that I don't think could be qualified as a sentence
at me..man he even smelt wasted. "Common Steve its past midnight, we gotta go before Darry skins us." I grabbed Steve by the collar and lead him around the house looking
for Pony and Cassie. Where were they? I entered the hallway calling their names when suddenly I saw them. They were walking down the steps from the upstairs. I looked at
them confused for a moment but shrugged it off. "Hey guys, time to go, Steve's drunk, and I met a girl. Mission accomplished. And we did it all before 1am." I smiled up at
them as they laughed and followed me out of the house. We walked down the street quietly. Or at least it was quiet until Steve started singing, really loudly, and horribly out of
tune might I add, "I'm a little teapot." Man that kid was weird! Pony and Cassie were being awfully quiet beside me. "You guys have fun?" I asked while laughing at Steve
dancing in a circle with his arms out expecting to fly at any second. I noticed them both look at each other out of the corner of my eye for only a moment before answering.
"Yeah we did, ran into some friends from school" Pony replied. Then I remember what I wanted to ask them before we left the party. "What were you guys doing upstairs
anyways?" I asked while still chuckling at Steve as he screamed how little his teapot was. "Uh, we were just talking. The party was too loud to talk so we went upstairs" Cassie
replied before joining in on my laughter at Steve.
