When I woke up again, Steve was sitting in the chair by my bed.
I couldn't hold my excitement and exclaimed, "Steve!"
"Hey kid," Steve said screwing up his face, obviously still tired from sleeping.
I tried getting up and it worked. I ran over to him and hugged him tightly and he hugged me back with even more force.
"I owe you so much, thank you doesn't even cover it," I said and pulled back from the hug.
"I know a way you can thank me," he said looking at me lovingly.
"Oh, yeah and what's that?"
Suddenly Steve kissed me and for a few minutes I actually forgot about Dally and everything that had happened to me. I pulled back after those few minutes and just looked at Steve.
"I know your shocked but I just had to do that," he said sounding a little sorry.
"No, its okay, really, I think," I said confused.
"Can you walk at all, cause if you can, your in for a beating with Darry."
"Well considering I practically ran to you, I figure I can walk just fine."
"Like I said Darry's got it in for ya."
"Well, that makes me feel so much better," I said sarcastically.
"You can just play little victim for a while, I'm sure he won't know the difference."
"Thanks for the encouragement Steve," I said sarcastically.
"It won't be that bad, Darry's just worried bout ya."
"I know I just wish he could have thought about that before all of this happened."
"He's always cared bout you, Danni, your just so busy worrying about everyone else that you don't even notice when people are actually worried about you."
"Well I always knew that you and Dally cared about me."
"What do you mean me and Dally? I care about you more than he does," Steve said and scoffed.
"Oh, please I don't need your jealousy on top of all my problems," I whined.
"I'm not jealous."
"Steve."
"Okay maybe a little but you know what, it doesn't matter, because right now your in my arms and not his."
Boy, Steve really knows how to make a girl feel guilty.
"Yeah, your right," I said kind of unsure of myself.
This was going to be a long day and already it wasn't going good.
