I lay there on my back breathing hard and staring up at the ceiling. I could hear Ponyboy's breathing coming from next to me and I pulled the sheet up past my chest. I didn't feel the same way I did after I had sex with Curly. I guess now it meant something; it was because we loved each other.

I turned on my side to lay my head on Ponyboy's chest and sighed. He stroked my hair and let out a sigh of his own.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too, Pony."

"Are you gonna tell Two-Bit about this?"

"I don't know. I might."

"Just don't let him kill me," he chuckled.

"I'll try not to."

I twisted around to lie on my stomach as I pulled the sheet up to make sure it was at least covering my boobs. I saw his eyes flicker to my chest then back to my eyes and I couldn't help but smile.

"What do you wanna do now?" I asked.

"I don't even know."

"We could go hang out at your house?" I suggested.

"Alright. We should probably get dressed then."

I wrapped the sheet around me, leaving the other sheet to Ponyboy and stood up. Then I went through my things to find my dark wash skinny jeans with my red fitted T-shirt and one of Ponyboy's black hoodies. I took them to the bathroom to change into so I could fix my hair. Once everything seemed good I walked back to my room where Ponyboy had already gotten changed.

"You ready?" he asked, tying up his converse.

"Just about," I replied, putting on my white flats.

When we walked downstairs I noticed that Two-Bit was gone and I was kind of relieved because hopefully he left before Ponyboy and I…well ya know. I hadn't even thought about if Two-Bit would be able to hear us, but I guess he couldn't if he didn't barge in and stop us.

As we walked to his house things surprisingly didn't feel strange. They felt better somehow, as if I was in even more love with him than before. I wasn't really planning on telling anyone for the time being and I think Ponyboy felt the same way, so when we got to his house we just sat down on the couch. Darry walked into the room and stopped to give Ponyboy a strange look, to which Ponyboy replied,

"Stop lookin' at me like that." Darry looked like he wanted to say something, but instead he shook his head and continued on towards the kitchen.

It was just us sitting there for a while and somehow we began making out. It's not like that was all that was on our minds, it just kind of happened. I mean it started out with Ponyboy tickling my sides, but then I surprised him with a kiss to distract him. If only I had known that after one kiss I would want to kiss him again. So that's what I did and we just didn't stop after that one. Someone cleared their throat and we broke apart to see Soda with a grin on his face and Steve looking disgusted as usual. I fixed my hair and tried not to let my cheeks get too red. Soda sat on the recliner, while Steve leaned up against the wall by Soda. They both exchanged a look and Steve spoke,

"You know, you two are always makin' out. It's a wonder how you guys haven't already-"

"Steve, man, not cool," Soda stopped him.

"Sorry," he chuckled, "But I bet I'm not the only one thinking it." He looked pointedly at Ponyboy who in turn looked at me then back to Steve, and gave him a weak smile.

"Steve, cool it," Soda said.

"Why? You got some kind of beef with me, Curtis?"

"And what if I do?" I knew they were joking, but I also knew that they could get a bit rough.

"You're gonna get now," Steve joked back, but still tackled Soda.

They started wrestling and almost hit me a few times. I had to dodge them as they flew towards the couch, which cause me to nearly land on Ponyboy. He didn't seem to mind though, as he moved his hands to my waist and his lips to mine. Steve and Soda weren't paying attention so we snuck off to Ponyboy's room where I straddled him on the bed. I wasn't planning on going all the way again, but that didn't mean we couldn't have a little fun. I giggled as he managed to get his hand up the back of my shirt after I took the hoodie off.

"Why are you wearing jeans?" he complained.

"Maybe you should come over to my house more often. I usually don't wear jeans around there."

"You know now that I think about it, you wearing jeans isn't such a bad thing," he said as he put both of his hands in my back pockets and pulled me down on top of him. My lips literally hit his as soon I laid down on him.

His hands were still in my back pockets and I really didn't mind. I couldn't help but kiss back even harder as we switched positions. I ran my fingers through his still greased back hair and loved the feeling of messing it up and him not caring. Everything was going well…until I heard the yelling.

"Ponyboy! What the hell did I tell you about havin' girls in here?" Darry's loud voice boomed.

I looked past Ponyboy to see Darry standing in the doorway and he was not happy at all. Ponyboy slowly got off of me and stood up. I stood up also and followed Darry because he was giving us that 'If you don't follow me right now, you're both dead' look. We walked out behind him where I grimaced at the sight. Not only were Soda and Steve watching, but Dally and Two-Bit had appeared. Steve and Soda took one look at us and burst out laughing and honestly, I was kind of confused.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Did you get a chance to look at yourselves before you came out here?" Soda questioned.

"No, why?"

"Well to start with, your shirt's half-way up your stomach and your jeans are ridin' a little low there, baby girl. And you," he turned to Ponyboy, "Your hair's a mess, kid. Not to mention all the lip gloss on your lips."

Ponyboy wiped the lip gloss off his lips and tried to fix his hair, while I pulled my shirt back down and pulled my jeans up. I was beyond embarrassed, especially since Darry was the one who had interrupted us.

"How many times have I gotta tell you two this stuff?" Darry sort of yelled.

"Sorry, Dar, we just kinda got carried away," Ponyboy apologized.

"Val, you know I'm tryin' to lay off, but maybe you guys should cool it down a little. Especially because of what happened earlier," Two-Bit said.

"What happened earlier?" Darry asked.

"Not much. I caught Valerie in the kitchen with only his shirt on."

"What?"

I tried to back away, as did Ponyboy, but Soda tapped Darry on the shoulder so he turned back to face us.

"Pony, you know what I told you earlier…I didn't mean for you to go and do this stuff. I hate to be so blunt about this, but give me the condom back. I honestly didn't think that you'd get so close to it and now I'm not so sure."

"Um…" I could tell Ponyboy didn't know what to say, "I don't have it anymore."

"What do you mean you don't have it anymore? I only gave it to not even two hours ago!"

"Well I…I um, I went over to Valerie's after you gave it to me, remember?"

"But you said that you weren't plannin' on doin' anything," Darry told him.

"I know…This wasn't really planned. I just lucked out with you givin' me the condom."

"So you're telling me that you two…"

"Yes!" I yelled, not being able to take it anymore, "Yes, Darry, we had sex!"

"Sodapop, you better hold me back before I attack your little brother," Two-Bit nearly growled.

"Stop," Darry commanded, "Two-Bit, calm down. You can't tell me that you didn't see this coming."

"Are you kidding me? Of course I saw it comin', but that doesn't mean I'm gonna be happy about it!"

"Someone take him out to the porch."

"I got him," Dally volunteered. After Dally left with Two-Bit things were incredibly awkward.

"I don't even know what to do with you two," Darry sighed.

"Do with us? I don't know about you, Darry, but the last time I checked he's related to you, not me. There's nothing you can do about me," I snapped.

I know it was a little harsh, but I was just so stressed out! If only I had just not done anything with Ponyboy, then things would be a lot easier.

"I know that…" he said quietly, "But right now, while you two are together, you're half of my responsibility. His actions affect you and the blame will somehow get put on me." I didn't say anything as he stood there looking between Ponyboy and I. Eventually he sighed and left the room, leaving us again with Soda and Steve.

"I knew it," Steve gloated, "I just knew you two wouldn't be able to resist getting in bed."

"I can't believe it…" Soda said, dumbfound, "You're the winner, kid."

"Winner?" Ponyboy inquired.

"Darry and I both lost our virginities at sixteen. You beat us both."

"Well ain't that great. Now I got Two-Bit tryin' ta kill me for sleepin' with his kid sister!"

Oh yes…I most definitely took offense to that! I stared, no glared, at Ponyboy who looked like he regretted saying what he did. He should've regretted it though! I mean he was basically saying that he shouldn't have slept with Two-Bit's 'kid sister'.

"So nice to know that I actually mean something to you," I smirked.

"Val, that's not what I meant. I'm just mad at your brother I guess."

"Whatever."

"Valerie, baby, please stop. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love you. I'm just upset, okay?" he pleaded.

"Okay," I gave in.

"I'm sure Two-Bit will cool off," Soda noted with a positive tone.

"Besides that's not what's important here," Steve commented, "What's important is…"

He whispered the rest of it into Ponyboy's ear and his face got a red for a minute before he got back to his normal color. He looked at me and then back at both Soda and Steve before whispering something into Soda's ear, who then whispered it into Steve's ear.

"Kid, you should know I want more details than that," Steve remarked, "You're finally almost cool enough to tag along with us, but you're gonna have to say a little more than that."

In response Ponyboy said what he had to say in Steve's ear and Steve laughed. It didn't sound like his usual laugh though; it was funnier. I was getting kind of tired of watching them whisper back and forth to each other so I left them and walked into the kitchen. Not too long after that I heard them talking a bit louder, probably because I wasn't in the room.

"Was she a screamer?" Steve asked, and I swear my jaw almost dropped down to the floor!

"Come on, Steve, I ain't gonna answer that," Ponyboy replied.

"Fine, fine…But I gotta ask you, since this was your first time and all, what'd ya touch first?"

I heard Ponyboy hesitate for a minute before he answered, "Boobs."

"That's the way to go," Steve laughed, "Just wait till the next one comes along. Now that you got a little experience you can move up a class."

"Can't wait."

That was it; I had heard enough. I stormed into the room where the three boys were still laughing and goofing off and crossed my arms over my chest with a glare.

"I cannot believe you would say something like that!" I yelled.

"No, you don't understand-"

"I don't want to hear your stupid excuses! Why don't you grow up and stop being such an asshole!"

"Calm down, Val! We were just jokin' around! I'm sorry."

"No, no more excuses, Pony. I honestly don't know what to say right now. I thought you were different and I didn't think you would just do it to get laid. I thought maybe it meant something! I guess I was wrong."

With that I left the house and ignored Ponyboy who was still calling for me to come back. I passed Two-Bit and Dally on the porch and just kept my head down low as I walked down the porch steps. I couldn't believe how much of a jerk Ponyboy was acting like. I mean he has sex one time with me and suddenly he thinks he's tough shit? I don't think so. I was about to show Ponyboy who actually ran our relationship.
