2 MONTHS LATER

BAM BAM BAM! *come the fuck on!* I thought to myself as I threw the covers off my body cursing even more to myself as the cold air quickly attacked my once warm body. BAM BAM BAM!! *fucking stupid, motherfucker!*

"What?!"

"Wake up princess!"

"No!"

"Now or I'll come in by force!"

"Tch I'd like to see you try"

I smirked at the locked door as I got up and went into my walk in closet and grabbed a white tank-top, Soda's red plaid shirt, and a pair of shorts. Throwing those items out unto the bed I went to get my black converses. I was changing out of a large shirt Darry had given my a long time ago when a body burst through the door.

"Really Two-bit, really?" I asked, staring at the ceiling as it was suppose to just suck him back up and spit him outside of the room. He smiled cheekily while staring at me with his wild clear water blue eyes.

"Hurry up and get ready, Darry made pancakes. He insists you be there!" He said bowing at me.

"I'll take my time thank you very much."

"No you wont!" I held up my finger

"I you touch me I'll kick you... again"

Two-bit stopped in his tracks and went to the side to take a seat like I had already kicked him, which I would have if he had gotten a little closer. He frowned when he found out I was staring at him with a waiting expression.

"I'm not gonna touch you hurry up!" I laughed and put on the outfit i had picked out. I threw the shirt i had taken off at him. He caught it mid air and lifted it to his nose, taking a big whiff. "Mmmmm, like heaven." I made a gagging noise as i walked out of the room and down the stairs. He followed me into the living room where everyone was sitting around the t.v eating. "Hey Danny!" Johnny called to me. I waved back at him and headed into the kitchen. I made myself a plate of eggs and toast and went back and sat next to Soda.

He gave me a small mischievous grin. He threw a piece of his eggs at me.

"Now it's war!" I threw my toast at him and hit him square in the forehead.

"Quit playing with your food." Darry said pointing at us. We both froze mid throw and then burst into a fit of giggles. For the first time in a long time, I felt truly happy and perfectly at ease.

The bonfire in the backyard started a few hours later as the sun went down and the temperature went with it. I pulled a cotton blanket over myself, keeping the cool breeze from chilling me too much. I sank down into the grass a few feet from the fire, enjoying the heat on my face. "Having fun is exhausting, huh?" Soda lowered himself down next to me, his hair thrown in every direction.

"I forgot how exhausting it can be." He laughed with me. We both sat watching the flames. "Hey... you haven't gotten in trouble for... you know?"

To my relief, he shook his head. "No. It doesn't look like he said anything about it to anyone, so I'm good. He gets in enough fights that no one would really think anything of it anyway. Don't worry, okay?" He knocked his shoulder into me gently, smiling.

"I'll try not to."

"He hasn't tried getting a hold of you or anything has he? I'm still willing to beat him up more if necessary. Even if not so necessary, I'd still be more than happy to. Felt a lot better than I ever imagined it would." The smile faded a bit as he looked into the fire and then finally back to me. "Your bruises look like they've... softened up a bit." His fingers moved to my cheek bone, tracing it gently.

"Y-yeah," my heart was sped up unceremoniously. "Doesn't really hurt too much anymore." Soda leaned towards me and kissed eat bruise on my face, finally landing on my lips. I smiled into the kiss. We finally broke apart when Dally started hooting and Two-bit started making disgusting kissing noises. I could stay in this house, with these guys, forever.

"WHO THE HELL BROKE THE DOOR TO SODA'S ROOM!?" We all looked to the house and then to one another when we heard Darry's booming voice.

"Scatter!" Two-bit yelled, grabbing my hand and pulling me up, while I grabbed Sodas, pulling him with us. Ponyboy and Johnny practically pushed each other over getting up. We all ran from the house and down the streets of Tulsa laughing.
