Stupid Feeling
Chapter Seven
Lovely Visit with Johnny and Oliver Fuzz
Johnny sat me down and kneeled in front of me as I told him what had happened.
"I'm real sorry Pony." He said, hugging me.
I buried my face into his chest and tried to stop crying. "T-Two-Bit and Marcia are here…" I sobbed.
Johnny pulled away from me and dried my tears. "Pony, Darry'll be fine. You know him, always fightin somethin." Johnny told me, pressing his forehead against mine.
I felt his warm breath against my mouth and I shivered. Even if we were together he drove me crazy. I dared to meet his eyes and saw dark hunger in them. It took me aback a little when I noticed the sexual tension that had always been there.
Johnny brushed his lips against my forehead and smiled at me.
Oh, he was good at holding back.
"Why don't you go ahead and get Two-Bit and Marcia?" He asked, brushing my hair out of my face.
The rest of the time we talked to Two-Bit and Marcia. They were goin together and were about to go on a date when someone called Two-Bit's house to tell him what happened.
"I don't know. This date is better than any dates with Randy…" Marcia said, with a silly grin.
Two-Bit kissed he on the cheek and put his arm around her. "Finally, a broad with class. But ya know who her dad is?"
"Who?" I asked.
"Officer William D. Oliver." Two-Bit said, making his voice deeper.
"Really? Ol' Oliver Fuzz…" Johnny said with a grin.
I smiled, remembering him coming by the house when Darry and Two-Bit got jailed for "disruption". Dad had a cow.
Ever since then that cop has been all over us like Steve on cake.
"Officer William D. Oliver? I just call him daddy…" Marcia said.
Two-Bit grinned. "You should have been there to see the look on his face when I showed up on his front step instead of Super Soc. I hope he's here now. I want to show him how much I love his daughter." Two-Bit said, showing us the class ring on her hand.
Two-Bit didn't get a class ring. The one he wore was his father's old one. He must have really loved her to give her the only thing to remember his father by.
"I want to show him the ring and I want to show him what I taught his little girl to do with her tongue." Two-Bit said, kissing Marcia on the lips quickly.
I sighed and smiled at them. I could feel Johnny staring at me. My cheeks turned red and I looked at the ground.
"Well I'm thinkin 'bout goin to look for good ol' Oliver Fuzz. Why don't you stay here with Pony and Johnny, Marcia?" Two-Bit said, standing up.
Before he left he kissed Marcia on the back of the neck, making her jump a little.
"I've never seen Two-Bit so…" Johnny searched for the right word.
"Affectionate." I said, grinning at him.
He poked me in the side and nodded.
Marcia shrugged and blushed a little. "When he asked me out I thought it was a joke really. But when we got to his house… My state of mind changed…" She said, deep in thought. "Well I need to go to the bathroom."
"In the lobby." I told her.
Right after she left I felt Johnny's soft lips on the side of my neck. His hands went through my bleach blond hair as he pulled my face to his.
I twisted my fingers into his, grease-less, hair as he kissed me.
I pulled away when I forgot to breath.
Johnny was also gasping for air. "Hey, Pony…"
"Yeah Johnny?" I asked red at the face. I felt like I'd just went to a track meet.
"Two more days." He said with a grin.
I smiled and kissed him, quickly, on the lips as Two-Bit came back, Oliver Fuzz at his side.
"Now why did you take my daughter to the jail house? Couldn't afford anything better?" He asked, folding his arms.
Two-Bit smiled it off and pulled a chair out for him. "Sit now, Sir. Marcia should be back in a minute."
Oliver Fuzz sat and looked at me and Johnny. "Hello there Curtis, Cade. Staying out of trouble, Curtis?"
I nodded and Johnny rolled his eyes.
Marcia came back soon after her father arrived. Right when she walked in, Two-Bit grabbed her and practically forced his tongue into her mouth, not that she was complaining.
Oliver got red at the face and knocked Johnny's coke down. "Matthews!" He yelled standing up and ripping Two-Bit off of Marcia.
Johnny and I jumped up and took a step toward Oliver and Two-Bit.
Two-Bit just grinned and put his arm around Johnny. "Now, now Oliver. Don't surprise Johnny here. You know what happened to the last guy that did…"
Johnny pulled himself away from Two-Bit and slugged him in the stomach. Right when he did he looked sorry. "I-I…Uhm…" He backed away from Two-Bit, who was doubled up in pain.
"Cade! Get back to your cell!" Oliver yelled, grinning at Two-Bit. "Two future cons with one stone." He said, snarling.
Johnny looked at the floor and walked away.
I stopped him and hugged him quickly. "I'll see you tomorrow." I whispered letting him go.
I walked back to the hospital with Two-Bit.
He complained a bit about his stomach and made me snap.
"Look, you asked for it!" I finally yelled. I was not a happy Greaser. It was raining, my brother's in the hospital, and a stupid Greaser is right beside me complaining about my boyfriend giving him what he deserved.
"Calm down there, Pony. You didn't let me finish. I wish I would have had time to tell him I'm sorry." Two-Bit said, putting his arm around me.
I let the rain hit my face as we walked. Heck, I didn't have anything to cover up with.
When we got to the hospital Sodapop and Steve were sitting with Dally in the waiting room.
"Finally. Come on." Sodapop said grabbing me.
We walked in together and I saw something I thought I never would.
Darry was being propped up by a few pillows and he was white as paper. He turned his head and looked at us. He smiled. "Pony, Soda." He choked out.
Sodapop walked over and sat at the end of his bed and rubbed his shoulder. "Look, Dar I don't think y-you're gonna be able to go back to your job… But don't ya worry. I can get another job."
Darry looked down at his blankets and started crying.
Sodapop's eyes shot to Darry. "Stop! Don't cry! This isn't it! It wasn't when Mom and Dad died and it's not now!" Soda yelled running his fingers through his hair quickly.
Darry looked over to me and motioned me over.
I walked over and put my head on his shoulder.
Darry put his other arm around Sodapop and pulled my other crying brother to his chest. "Don't worry you guys. As long as we're still together…"
