Guys, I'm so sorry it's taken so long, so much shit is happening and I'm constantly feeling like crap. This is why I love the Outsiders section of FFN, we're like a family or something, hehe, I know it sounds corny, whatever…well anyway, so here it is. I've known for a long time how this is going to end but I'm not exactly sure when that's going to be. I really hope I haven't lost any readers with my long waits. I apologize profusely.
Sean and I left the restaurant and walked around for a while. We were passing a gas station when I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw Riff walking towards us. Sean and I stopped to let him catch up.
"Hey, kiddies," Riff joked, to which I rolled my eyes. "What's going on?"
"Nothing really. Anything exciting happen with you today?" I asked. I was hoping for some action, although at the same time I was perfectly happy being alone with Sean which is why it kind of bugged me that Riff had shown up. It wasn't often that I got to be alone with him.
"Nah," Riff answered "Same ol' boring shit." We stood there talking for a while until I left to go to the bathroom, thinking it was convenient we were right outside a gas station. When I got back, Riff had his arms crossed with a strange look on his face. He wasn't mad, I've seen him mad before and this certainly wasn't the same look. Yet, his expression was different than it had been a couple minutes ago.
"What's up?" I said somewhat cautiously, referring to whatever it was that was going on.
"Happy fairy?" Riff said raising his eyebrows, and sounding really mad. I knew he was just joking though. I'd been with him too long not to.
"Sean!" I said not really mad though. I looked at Riff with a slight grin. "You know you can't be mad at me." I said throwing on an innocent look.
"Really." Riff said. "Would you like to try me?" I just rolled my eyes and hugged him. That was the way it was with me. I hugged a lot. For anything. I loved hugs.
"Hey!" A voice I recognized as Action's called. We all turned to see him walking towards us. "I'm going to a party, anyone wanna come?" Riff said he'd go but I didn't want to. I wanted to stay with Sean. Finally, I was alone with him again and I kissed him on the cheek.
"What was that for?" Sean asked, grinning.
"Can't a girl kiss her boyfriend?"
"Sure she can." Sean answered putting his arms around me and pulling me close to him.
I put my arms around his neck, with his arms around my waist and we just stood there like that for a little while. I wanted him to never let go. I just felt so safe in his arms. The way I felt when Dally or Riff had me in their arms yet different. I wasn't sure exactly how to explain how I felt, but I liked the feeling. I had my head against his chest, with my eyes closed, just savoring the feeling. I felt one of his arms leaving my waist and half a second later his hand was on my head, gently moving it from his chest. I looked up at him, right in time to see his face moving closer to mine and right then, I felt his lips on mine. This was the first time I'd really been kissed. Sure, I kissed Sean all the time, but on the cheek. And here we were, leaning against a gas station wall, Sean hugging me as if he'd never let go, for all the world to see. And I liked it. I felt even safer. It was like magical or something. I don't know but it felt so safe. We stayed like that for a long time. How long, I don't know.
But everything came shattering down; reality hit me hard when I heard a noise. A loud bang, cracking through the air. It wasn't until I was down on the floor, pushed by Sean that I realized it was a gunshot.
