Disclaimer: I only own Starrla
The Last Time I saw You
Chapter 9 Edge of Seventeen
"Dammit Steve you scared me,"Starrla said.
"I do that to alot of people,"Steve replied.
"Unlikely Stevie boy,"Starrla replied walknig past him.
"Wanna bet?"
"Nah. I ain't in the mood to wrestle you for it."
Starrla ran a hand through her hair and walked up the stairs and into her room. She pulled out some clothes to change into. She chose her favourite blue jeans and a green tank top. She brushed her hair more thoroughly seeing as she didn't do a good job at Two-Bit's. She smiled at her reflection and walked back down the stairs.
"So what's on the agenda for today?"Starrla asked rubbing her hands together.
Soda laughed "Well your mighty cheerful today."
"Well it isn't everyday that the sun is shining in this time of year,"Starrla exclaimed.
Soda laughed "Well me, Steve and Dar have to work. So do you."
"Aw man take the fun out of everything,"Starrla pouted "I don't wanna work at the store and have to keep going up that damn ladder to get them whatever the fuck they want when they just send me right back up there to put it back and get another thing. It's an endless proccess. Stupid Socs"
"Then quit,"Two--Bit said.
"Maybe I should. Or I can just call in sick,"Starrla laughed.
"Ah evil sneaky Starr,"Soda said.
Starrla stuck her tongue out at him "Dar I ain't going to work today."
Darry sighed "Fine Starr but your going tomorrow."
"Fine,"She replied. After she called in sick Starrla and Two-Bit left leaving the others to do whatever they planned on doing.
'Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh ooh ohh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh babyooh said ooh'
"For it being sunny it sure is damn cold,"Starrla said.
Two-Bit laughed and gave her his jacket "Should have brought a sweater Starr."
Starrla rolled her eyes "Shut up Two-Bit."
"And what if I don't?"Two-Bit asked raising and eyebrow.
"I dunno do you?"She replied mimicking him.
Two-Bit looked at her questionably "Copycat."
It's started to rain outside. It slowly got harder soon it was pelting down.
Starrla stuck her tongue out at him. Two-Bit made a a fake shocked look at her. She laughed.
Two-Bit walked over to her "Don't stick your tongue out at me again,"He joked.
"And what will you do if I don't?"She asked brushing a wet strand out of her face and tucked it behind her ear.
"Do it again and I will do something,"Two-Bit replied.
"Like what?"She asked.
"Like this,"He replied pressing his lips to hers.
'And the days go by
like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby
Nothin' else mattered
He was no more, than a baby then
Well he, seemed broken hearted
something within him
But the moment, that I first laid
Eyes, on, you
All alone on the edge of, seventeen'
Starrla was shocked once again. She didn't know what to do. So she just stood there. When he broke the kiss Starrla back away.
"Um. I-I'm gunan go now,"She said. She turned her heel and ran back to her house. She ran into the house. On one was there. She ran up to her room and slammed the door and fell down on her bed.
"Why did he do that?"She thought outloud.
She was confused. She looked up at the cieling. She tried to keep her head from spinning but nothing worked. It was like she was on a rollar coaster but the rollar coaster never stopped. She didn't understand why he had kissed her? If last night meant nothing why did he kiss her? She let out a frustraited cry and puched the wall. She pulled back her bleeding fist looking at the hole she made in the wall. She sighed and flopped back down on her bed. She wrapped her hand in a towel and just layed there.
'Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ohh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh'
The door opened and slammed shut. Two-Bit cam waltzing into the Curtis residance trying to find Starrla. He figured he made a mistake the way be ran from him. He walked up the stiats to her room and opened the door a crack. He saw her yling on the bed and walked over and sat down beside her.
"Starr."
Starrla laughed "Deja Vu huh?"
Two-Bit laughed in return "Yeah. Yeah it is."
Two-Bit looked at her and then at the wall.
"Why did you do that?"He asked.
"I dunno,"She replied. She sighed"I get it that's all."
Two-Bit shrugged "Life is confusing sometimes Starr girl."
Starrla laughed "No shit."
"Hey,"He said acting offended.
"Don't be a retard,"Starrla said again.
Two-Bit stuck his tongue out at her "What do you want to do now?"
"Why don't we go to the DX and hang with Soda and Steve?"Starrla asked.
"Sure,"he shrugged "That's always an idea."
'I went today maybe I will go again
Tomorrow' yeah yeah
And the music there it was hauntingly
Familiar
When I see you doing
What I tried to do for me
With the words of a poet
And the voice from a choir
And a melody, nothing else mattered'
Starrla and Two-Bit walked down to the DX in the pouring rain. Splashing eachother by jumping in the puddles. When they reached the DX they were soaked. Starrla opened the door trying not to fall over laughing.
Soda was at the counter. He looked at her confused "What's so funny?"
Starrla stopped laughing "I dunno."
Soda laughed. "Ok."
Two-Bit came in behind her. Him and Soda started talking. Starrla got bored and wandered into the garage to hang with Steve. She didn't like to listen to Two-Bit bragging about one thing or another.
"Hey Stevie,"She called walking into the garage.
"Hey Starr,"He called back.
Steve got put from under the hood of the car. He grabbed a rag and wiped the car grease from his hands "What are you up to?"He asked.
"Not much just chillin' round here I guess,"She replied shrugging.
"Yes hanging out here is so much fun,"He replied sarcastically.
"I know but what esle is there to do?"Starrla asked.
Steve thought for a moment "Your right."
"Exactly."
Steve laughed "You know you can always cheer someone up."
"Cheer someone up?I didn't even know you were mad, depressed or whatever. Did you break up with Evie again or something?"
"Yeah. Shes a real whore that one,"Steve replied.
Starrla laughed. Then there was silence. Starrla shifted. Starrla always found silence akward. Steve leaned in and pressed his lips to her. For the 3rd time in the past 2 days she was shocked.
Steve reluctantly broke the kiss when someone cleared their throat. Two-Bit was standing in the door.
"Come on Starr. Soda told me to take you home."
"kay,"She replied "See ya Steve,"She said.
"See ya Starr."
Starrla walked otu of the garage with Two-Bit adng walked toward the Curtis house.
'Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ohh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh'
They walked in silence. The only sounds were the cars passing by and the rain falling from the sky. It was slowly getting dark outside. When they reached the lot Two-Bit stopped walking. Starrla walked a couple more steps before stopping. It had stopped raining by then.
"What was that?"He asked.
"What was what?"She asked dreading what he would say.
"Back there with Steve."
"Come on Two-Bit it was just one kiss. You don't have to make such a dig deal about it,"Starrla replied.
"Well Starrla what about us you were with me first."
"Excuse me?"She asked rather rudly.
"You heard me."
"Why do you even care Two-Bit?"
"Cause your my friend Starr."
Starrla laughed "Friend? You call yourself a friend. Look Two-Bit friends don't do something and say it didn't mean anything. Then try and build on it and act like You are their property. This is fucking bullshit,"Starrla said her vocie rising a bit.
"Well maybe it did mean something. Your a beautiful girl. Starrla I would be crazy not to love you,"Two-Bit said said cupping her face in both his hands.
Starrla pushed his hands away "Don't touch me and stop talking."
No. I won't Starr, Dally's gone. Got it he's fucking gone and there is shit you can do about it. He ain't coming back. Get over it, Stop living in the fucknig past and move on,"Two-Bit said.
Starrla back up and shook her head "Shut up,"Her voice cracking.
"No listen to me. I love you and if you can't take it then then- then go kill yoursel. I know you've thought about it. God your suck a fucking sissy,"Two-Bit exclaimed.
"Shut the fuck up you don't know what your talking about,"Starrla was on the verge of tears.
"Oh I don't? Fuck you Starr. Go crawl under the rock you fucking came out from under and just fucking die,"'Two-Bit turned around and started walking. Away.
'The clouds never expect it
Wwhen it rains
But the sea changes colour
But the sea, does not change
And so, with the slow, graceful flow
Of age
I went forth, with an age old
Desire, to please
On the edge of, seventeen'
Starrla leaned against the tree in the lot and fell down to her knees. She covered her face with her hands and started to cry. She didn't know how long she'd been there but after a while she heard footsteps. She looked up to see Two-Bit had come back.
"What do you want to yell at me some more about how I should kill myself?"Starrla asked sarcastically.
"You've been out here for 4 hours Starr. Darry has called my house 7 times looking for you,"He told her.
"I've been here the whole fucknig time asshole,"Starrla snapped.
"Come on Starr,"He said grabbing her arm.
She ripped it out of his hand "DON'T FUCKNIG TOUCH ME. DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME!"She yelled.
Two-Bit visibly winced at the sound of her voice. He looked hurt but she didn't care.
"Starrla what I said earlier. I was mad. I was..."
"Cut the shit Two-Bit. I don't give a fuck anymore. Just fucking leave me alone."
Two-Bit sighed and walked away. She looked at her watch. Once again it was late. 1:00. When she got home Darry would go balistic. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
When she got home the lights were on. Starrla opened the gate and walked up the porch. She opened the door and walked in. Darry was sitting up for her. He didn't yell. He just got up and hugged her.
"Go to bed Starr,"he told her.
Starrla nodded and walked up to her room. She took off her clothes and changed into her pj's. She realized she still had Two-Bit's jacket. She sighed and fell down onto her bed.
'Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ohh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh'
Starrla woke up the next morning at 6:00. She yawned and got dressed. She walked downstairs to find Two-Bit passed out on the couch. She rolled her eyes and started cooking breakfast. Two-Bit woke up after she started cooking. It was either the noise or the smell. She didn't know.
"Starr about last night......"
"Forget it,"Starrla replied.
"Hmm?"He asked slightly confused.
"Look we had time to cool off andI forgive you,"Starrla told him.
Two-Bit looked at her confused "Why?"
"Two-Bit we've been firends our whole lives it'd be pretty stupid to stop being friends over a stuid argument,"Starrla replied.
She gave Two-Bit a plate and gave him some food and dished herself some. They ate like everything was back to normal.
"What day is it today?"He asked.
"Saturday why?"
"Doesn't Darry go to work early on Saturday's?"Two-Bit asked.
"Yeah. Point?"She asked.
"Well Soda sleeps liek a rock and Ponyboy probably won't get up till 9."
Starrla gave him a look "I dunno Two-Bit."
"Aw come on Starrla live a little."
"Fine."
'Well then suddenly
There was no one, left standing
In the hall, yeah, yeah
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Oh I went searchin' for an answer
Up the stairs, and down the hall
Not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird, singing come away, come away, come away'
Starrla and Two-Bit were in Starrla's room on her bed making out pretty soon. Starrla took off his shirt. Two-Bit slid his hands under her shirt and puleld it off. At the same time he unhooked her bra and took it off.
He ran his finger over her right nipple. She made a gasping noise in his mouth. She started to undo his pants as he undid her. She lid his jeans and boxers off and he pulled off her pants and underwear at the same time.
He kissed her as he entered her. She moaned into his mouth. Her fingernails dug into his back. Two-Bit thrusted in and out as Starrla moaned and bucked her hips against him. Soon they were both panting heavily and they both climaxed and Two-Bit collapsed untop of her.
She smiled at him and snuggled up to him again. He wrapped his arms around her. She kissed the top of her head. Soon they both fell asleep.
'Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ohh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh'
Starrla woke up to pounding on the door. She looked at the clock. It was 10:00. She looked out the window. It was raining. That meant Darry was home. She silently cursed herself.
"WHAT!"She yelled.
"GET UP!"Darry yelled from the otherside of the door.
"Yeah I'm coming,"She said.
"HURRY UP!"He yelled.
Two-Bit was awake by now his eyes wide with mostly fear. She could tell it was mostly fear of Darry finding him in here.
"Get dressed and go out my window,"Starrla whispered.
"Yeah,"He responded. She got dressed and so did he.
"Bye,"He said from the window.
"Bye,"She replied kissing him.
"I'll see you later."
"Yes. Of course you will."
He left and Starrla walked downstairs and sat down. Soda looked at her.
"Hey Starr can I talk to you?"He asked.
"Sure Sodapop,"She said cheerfully.
They walked upstairs into Soda's room. They sat down on his and Pony's bed.
"What is it Sodapop?"
"I know."
"You know what?"She asked still smiling.
"About you and Two-Bit."
Starrla smile dropped.
'Well I hear you (well I hear you) in the morning (in the morning)
and I near you (and I near you) at nightfall
sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable, to hear you
My love
I'm a few years older than you
are (I'm a few years older than you) my love
Just like the white winged dove
sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh'
