Hi everyone! I am finally over my very serious case of writer's block and
back in the game. Ok that was exaggerating a little, but can you blame me?
I will finally be able to write chapters without having to sit around for
4 days and write stuff then erase them. This chapter will kinda be a
boring chapter, ya know, I won't get into the serious stuff (well, not too
serious), cuz I really wanted to update again before I left, and this
chapter will be a short and not-too-serious one since I have to help my mom
cook for this huge party we're having tonight. Anyways, here we go..
*One more thing, OMG!!! I MADE IT TO CHAPTER 20! Thank you for those who just told me to keep on going. I owe you guys.
Ponyboysgirl1: I won't give up, don't worry. And I don't think I see them breaking up in the near future. They love each other too much for that! Anyway, enjoy ur Christmas gift, lol!
Karlei Shaynner: Oh my god, you live in Canada? Where? Maybe we'll be close, I'm going to Toronto. So I update before I leave! YAY! Lol, keep on reading.
Stephanie: lol, I think so too, she's kinda like me so in a way that's a compliment for me, lol! Thanks, please keep on reading!
Dally's my hero: Hah, I'm simple minded too, I just decided that it was too boring, so I tried to switch off stuff, but I think Summer's going to stay with Pony.
Laura: lmao, I didn't know you wanted Summer to go out with Curly!
Jen: For god's sake! They're not together. Summer's still with Pony!
Shannon: Fine, be mad at her, I'm mad at her too. But not Rain, the real one, my sister. *sigh* I'm glad ur happy.
Amanda: I'll try.
Dally's Chick: Thank you so much, e-mail me.
His house was actually really close to mine. We walked down the street, opposite from my street, and it was the third house on the left. It was a small, petite house with a red door and a broken swing on the porch. There were toys everywhere, I wondered if Curly had a younger sister or a brother. If he did, maybe Jake can play with them. I didn't ask, since I would see for myself soon enough.
Curly opened the door which I noticed wasn't locked. We always kept our door locked, incase of any burglars or drunken socs.
"Ma! You home?" Curly shouted as we stepped into the house.
He shrugged. "Guess not. Yo Tim!" he yelled again. "I guess he's not home either." He said shrugging again.
"Who's Tim?" I asked.
"My asshole brother" Curly murmured.
"Oh." I said softly.
"He's probably passed out somewhere. Make yourself comfortable." he led me to the living room. "I'll go find him."
I sat down on the couch. For a second I thought it was going to break down, being the old thing that it was. But giving the circumstances that I'm tinier than my little brother, it wouldn't break. I looked around. It was surprisingly clean, for a hood's house. But surely, his mom cleaned the place. I assumed she was at work, since she wasn't home. I heard someone walk into the living room, and burst into laughter. I turned around.
"Oh, my fucking god." I said to myself. It was like Curly, at the age 20. They looked almost identical, except his older brother (I assumed) was taller, and had a better build. He was wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a leather jacket. He had a cigarette in his mouth but he dropped it when he saw me. I gave him a confused look. What's there to laugh about?
"Um." it was kinda getting uncomfortable. "You must be Tim?" I said unsure.
He stopped laughing. "Yeah who are you?"
"I'm, uh, Curly's friend." What was I suppose to say? I'm Curly's friend's girlfriend? Then what the fuck am I doing here? That thought suddenly came over me, and I got up. "Uh, I gotta go, tell Curly I said bye."
As I was about to walk out the door, Curly stopped me.
"Hey, sorry if my brother's being a dumbass."
I laughed. "That's ok."
"Where're you going?" I pulled my hand off the door knob.
"Well, ur brother was being an ass." Although he didn't say anything, it just pissed me off, the way he laughed, when there was nothing to laugh at.
"No, stay, don't mind him."
I wanted to stay. Curly was so nice, but his brother made me sick, and maybe I wasn't sure about what we would end up doing if I stayed for too long.
"Let's go upstairs where he won't bother us."
That thought gave me a headache, but I fallowed. I kinda wanted to see his room.
On the way, I tripped over something, but couldn't quite figure out what it was. There were a lot of toys around; I meant to ask Curly about that but just forgot.
"Oh, be careful, my baby sister leaves a lot of her toys around." And there's my answer.
"O..whoa" and I tripped over another one. It was dark! I couldn't see!
"Here" Curly took my hand and led the way. I was about to yank my hand back, but I didn't want to break anything, so I let him hold on to it.
Going up the stairs, my hand in Curly's, I seriously felt like a goddamn whore. We weren't going to do anything, but his soft hand, holding mine so gently, just gave me that feeling. I must be losing my mind to ever think that.
His room was quite interesting. There were a lot of naked lady pictures, which were very hard to avoid, and very annoying. But other than that, it was clean; I NEVER thought it would be clean. There were a couple beer cans under the bed, and some clothes piled up near the closet, but that's all. We mostly sat around and talked. He didn't push it about the fight I had with Pony. And I never told him about how we made up at the porch, maybe I should have.
An hour or so past by, we were sitting on his bed, which was incredibly comfortable, and looking at his baby pictures. There was a really cute one when he was playing in the rain, and he was totally covered in mud, I burst into laughter, not mean laughter, but like oh, he is so adorable-laughter. I noticed Curly was just looking at me.
"What? What's wrong?" I panicked, is there something on my face?
"Nothing, you're so..beautiful."
Oh, damn, everything was so perfect, so perfect, until he said those 3 dreadful words. Ugh, why do I always end up here with guys? Before I knew it, my lips were locked to his, and he was stroking my hair, just the way.Pony does when we're kissing.
I quickly pulled away.
"Um, I-I can't." was all I said before storming out of the room, running down the stairs, this time not tripping over anything, and running out of the house.
I walked, no ran down the street and once again I could hear Tim breaking into laughter. Wow, he must be high!
As I came closer and closer to my house I slowed down, I noticed Pony, Soda, Steve, and Two-bit were out on the lawn, smoking cigarettes and joking around.
"Hey Summer, how are ya?" Soda asked. Two-bit was nudging Pony in the ribs, telling him to come and give me a kiss. I guess Pony was still upset because he just turned his face towards the other way, and continued to smoke his cigarette. A pain went through my heart, as if somebody just stabbed me in the heart, right there, right now. Why won't you look at me, say hi, or do something. I was about go over and apologize for our fight earlier, when I decided to let him come to me.
"Hi Soda, Steve, Two-bit.." pause "Pony." I started walking again. "See you guys later."
I guess Pony isn't as stubborn as me, cuz he ran out of the lawn, and caught up with me.
"How come I didn't see you after school?" he questioned. So that's what he was mad about.
I couldn't bear look at him. "I thought you had track practice, so I walked home with..." I paused, not sure if I wanted to tell Pony that I was over at Curly's. "Curly."
"Oh, alright. I trust him to keep you safe. I was worried."
I sighed. He didn't think much of Curly and me, more than friends. I mean, of course we weren't more than friends, what happened was, in the spur of the moment, and know it's over, forgotten, never to be mentioned again. Besides I'm with Pony.
"Uh, I better go, I'll see you later Pon." I kinda wanted to get out of there, for the first time in 2 months, I felt uncomfortable around Pony.
"Wait." He pulled me closer to him and gave me a kiss. And this time, I felt nothing, just zero.
"Bye" I said as I entered my house.
***Next Day***
I got up early the next day. I had to walk to school alone, since Pony had early track practice, and Darry had to drive him. I got dressed in jeans, a black t-shirt that says "Too Cute" in glitter letters, and my jean jacket. I stepped out of the house, and immediately noticed Curly coming from the opposite direction. I started walking faster without trying to make it obvious that I was running away from him, but it was kinda hard, so I slowed down. He caught up.
"Boy you walk fast" he said trying to catch his breath.
No, go away. I silently thought. We can't do this, I'm Pony's girl.
"So, um, hey sorry about yesterday, I don't know what I was thinking, but since you and Pony had a fight I thought I could cheer you up or something, I never planned.what happened, when I invited you over." His old, tough hood voice was back. Once appeared, his other side was gone.
I drew in a deep breath. How would I say this, obviously Curly thought that I was interested in him, maybe I was, but NO, I was never interested in him. I was lying to myself again, I know it was true that I was interested in him. But was, I'm not still. I was lying again.
"Look, Curly, I-I..was.never really" I stopped, I made myself stop, or else, I would be lying. I didn't want to lie.
"Look, I was interested in you. I still am." For a second, I doubted my words. "I.like you, the way you want to protect me, how much sweet you are around me.but, I can't, we can't, I'm Pony's girl."
"I know, but I like you, I liked you the day we met.I."
"I'm with Pony." I cut him off. My voice was harsh and cold. "Sorry." I murmured as I picked up my speed, and disappeared into the distance.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Yeah, yeah, I know that sucked, and was very stupid, but after all, Summer is still with Pony, and the whole Curly phase is over. But I can't promise that he won't be back..dun dun dun.. And also, I know I said this chapter wouldn't be so serious, but I lied, lol no, I didn't know what was going to come out before I wrote that note, so please forgive me. Besides it was all that serious! (right?)
Anyway, Christmas is over, and I had the best time, I hope yall had fun too. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!
