Told You So!
Chapter 15:
Last chapter:
I pushed him off of me and shouted through tears, "Stop! Stop it! You know I can't stand seeing you with her! You know it! So, why? Why do you have to hug me, esspecially when we both know its just as friends? Esspecially, when we both know that I want to be more then that! Why?"
I sobed, and with that I started to walk off. But, yet again, Ponyboy gentally grabbed my hand and pulled me back.
So, I yelled in his face how I truely felf. "I love you!"
He stopped in his tracks and dropped my hand. He was shocked and I don't blaime him. I mean, I knew that he knew that I have a massive crush on him, but, love? Love is such a big word! Okay, its not a big word, its only 4 letters... but, its so much more then that! Its big in meaning!
I turned around and continued walking back home. This time however, he didn't stop me. And the only noise that could be heard on the walk back were the pounding of our feet against the pavement.
When we arrived back to our destination, I walked into my house, Ponyboy walked into his. Without a word said or a glance looked in either directions toward eachother.
"Let practise," I said looking down at the floor as I uncarefully took my trumpet out of its case.
Anna looked at me weirdly. And I didn't have to be a phycic to know what was on her mind. She was deep in thought, probably curious to know about what happend between me and Pony after her and Johnny walked off.
"Elektra, what happend?" Anna asked with a conserned look upon her gloomful face.
"The concert is tommorrow night. Mr. Sones will be disappointed if we can't even play our own solo's," I replied. Obviously, trying to change the subject.
I don't even want to think about Ponyboy right now, I tried convinsing myself.But, I knew it was a lie. How can I tell myself that I don't want to think of him, when automatticly I'm thinking of him when I don't want to think about him?
God damnit! Why does this have to be so confusing, why does it have to happen? Why does this have to happen to me!
"Look," Anna said, "I don't know what went down with you and Ponyboy when Johnny and I left... but, whatever the hell it is you should go and talk to him! Please, you don't want to lose a friend, not like that..."
I didn't know what she was talking about by "losing a friend like that." Did she mean losing a friend by the problems between us? Or did she mean losing a friend like him? But, I was determined to have an attitude with everyone until I spoke with Ponyboy, so I didn't feel like asking.
I pressed the mouthpiece to my lips and started practising the scales for warmups.
Anna was trying to talk to me, and purposly, the longer she would talk, the higher the scales I would do. I continued this immaturely until her voice was completely zoned out by my trumpet. Finally, she gave up and we practised our solos in silence. The only noises to be heard were the music comming from our instruments as we played.
After we played through all of the concert songs atleast three times each, my spirits started to perk!
Anna must've noticed this, because she asked, "So, you ready to talk to Pony yet?"
"I don't know..."
"If your're not, I'll understand, you know. I'm not gonna force you into anything you don't want to do..." She put a hand on my shoulder and added, "EXCEPT for trying to get Soda to dump Sandy and go out with me...That is, my friend, a MUST!"
"Okay," I laughed pretending to be annoyed, failing misserablly. "Hey, you know Jay?"
"Ofcourse, I know Jay!" Jay is a friend of Anna's. When me and Anna started hanging out she introduced me to Jay who instantly became a friend.
"She wants me to hook her up with Johnnycake! And between you and me...SHE LOVES JOHNNY'S CAKE!" We laughed.
Then we walked next door in search of Ponyboy.
Curtis House!
I walked into the house with Anna, hoping to just get it over with.
Hoping that Ponyboy wasn't there so I wouldn't have to face him yet, my hopes were crushed. I looked to my right and there was Pony, sitting on the couch, book in hand.
"Hi, Ponyboy." I felt a blush form on my cheeks, which instantly had me hoping that nobody would notice.
He looked up from his book and replied, "Hey, Elektra." His ears were starting to turn bright red.
HE LOOKS AMAZING WHEN HE BLUSHES! So, does this mean that he secretly likes me? Or, is he blushing from embarrasment?
I turned around so that I was facing the door and as I was hurrying out I said, "Okay, I talked to him!"
"Oh! NO NO NO NO!" Anna stopped me and pushed me hard in Pony's direction.
She pushed me so hard that I fell onto Pony's lap. I could feel and extreme blush form on my face as I could feel Pony's amazingly attractive arms around my body from when he caught me. I was grabbing onto his arms(for the sake of touching him) and to help me from falling off. He began to blush, too.
"I'm ready to talk now." I sighed.
He nodded in responce. I took a good, deep look into his eyes...his big beautifull green/gray eyes. Which I probably didn't realize was a bad idea until it was too late.
Breathing heavily, glazing into his eyes, I could feel my heart start to explode! And what did I do? Nothing! Absolutly, NOTHING! I was just frozen there.
Making a complete idiot of myself, I continuslly repeated, "I... I... I-I... I... I... I... I-I... I.. I..."
"Yes," Pony replied. Right now I was hoping with all my heart that I wasn't making myself look worse then I already was.
"I-I, well I was um... I was h-hoping that y-you would forg-g-give me for uh, h-how I was acting earlyier," I choked out, slowly. Unable to control my blushing and stuttering.
He was opening his mouth and about to say something when I put a finger to his lips(which felt, so amazing!) to silence him. "I wish those were my lips pressed on you and not my fingers!"
He gave me a supprised look and blushed.
"Did I just say that... out loud?"
He nodded and I blushed like crazey!
"S-sorry! Um...It wasn't fair to you that I blaimed everything on you and on..." I paused, unable to even pronounce her name.
"On Steph..." Pony continued.
"Yeah, whatever... I was hoping that you'd still come to the concert tommorow night... I-It starts at 6:30. Please? I'd really mean alot to me if you'd go..."
"It'd also mean alot to me BABY if you went to my cheerleading competition tommorow...at 6:30," another bitchy, hideous, oh-go-to-hell-already-you-dumb-broad, voice said...a.k.a. Steph!
"Elektra," she greeted without any tone in her voice.
"Bitch," I said impationtly imitating her.
"Steph, I kindof promised Ele that I'd go to her solo long before I knew about the competition," Pony inturoped.
"And he has good taste," Anna added, then glaring at Steph, "MOST OF THE TIME... don't know why he picked you though..."
"But, Pony, DARLING!" Steph patheticly begged, "You hear her play all the time! When she marches in parades... at games... practises at hom..."
"He was there at games for you, too! Hello, you a cheerleader! Or, did you like totally like forgett, like!" Anna defended.
"Besides," I added "theres always more competions!"
Kindof, like this one huh, bimbo?
"Not like this competition!"
I walked over to Anna and added, "Um, like yeah! This is like the best competion like ever! Like, we didn't even like have to pay the judges like this time, like! All we had to do was like lift up our skirts!"
"I know, like," Anna added, "We got into the competion like and we got some hairy like ass!"
"But, Ponyboy would know all about that, right 'baby'?" I winked at Ponyboy.
"Elektra! I would very much appriecate it if you'd stop hitting on my boyfriend!"
Shouting, I replied, "Thats righ, he's yours! The student council is yours! Everything in this whole damn town is yours!"
"Theres tons more guys Elektra, stop overreacting!"
In a low voice, I replied,"Am I? Well, I don't think I am!"
"Oh, really? And how exactly are you not!" Great, now she was shouting too! Ponyboy looked really uncomfortable.
"The only thing that I want in this fucked up place," I focased my attention onto Pony, making sure he got every word, "I can't have..."
There was a long pause, which Anna broke. "Come on, Ele... My mom wants me home soon. And Ponyboy, you know its your decision, but, whoever you choose, better be the right one. It better be by tommorow..."
Pony nodded that he understood. "Steph, I think you should go, too... I have some things that I really need to think about."
Steph looked hurt and asked, "Please, dont' tell me your actually considering this..."
"You'll see..." he replied giving her a peck on the lips.
The Next Day AT THE CONCERT!
"Five minutes until it starts and hes still not here!" I collapsed on my seat.
"He'll be here, Ele. Don't worry." Anna patted my back.
"I hope so..."
"I've got to get back to my section...HEY, HOW MANY TIMES DO I FUCKING TELL YOU... DON'T PLAY THE SYMBOLLS WITH THE MALLOTS!" Anna screamed at some drummers.
"Good luck," I added.
"You too!"
We were about to start the concert in any minute. The curtian was closed and the band was set up on stage. I was extremly nervous and the fact that I hadn't seen Ponyboy all day didn't help much either!
The curtains opend and I didn't look into the audience, not only because you're not supposed to, because I didn't want to find out that Ponyboy wasn't there... and risk crying while I was playing.
We started, song after song. Finally, it was solo time!
Mr. Sones went up to the microphone. "This is a classic swing peice, I'm sure you'll all recognize! And our two soloist are Anna Bora on tom-tom..." he was inturroped by Anna banging on the drum! I started laughing because she knew just as well as I do that your not supposed to play while he's talking! "THATS ENOUGH ANNA! SAVE IT!"
"YES SIRRRR!"
"As I was saying... and our second soloist is Elektra Angelos on trumpet..."This time I intruppted him by making farting noises with the trumpet! The audience cracked up into laughter. This DEFINATLY calmed my nerves! "ELEKTRIC!"
"YOU'VE GOT IT SIR!"
"...This will be our last song for this evening!" Then we started!
After the song was over the audience burst into clapping! We stood up and the curtains were closed. I was bumbarded with congragulations and so was Anna.
"Nice stunt you two!" Everyone patted our backs. We bowed to them until a shadow was over us.
We turned around to see Mr. Sones...
"Hi, MR. SONES!" Anna and I tried to run for it but he grabbed us from our ears.
"Nice porformace ladies. Though you did better then I expected on your solos... your per-song solos were rude and disrespectfull...detention...both of you after school tommorow!"
We nodded and then I remember...PONYBOY!
"Sorry, he didn't show, Ele..." Anna patted my back.
I burst out crying... then I heard a familiar voice ask, "Elektra, y-you did great! Why you crying?"
I turned around and theres was Ponyboy! He was at the other end of the hall and almost like it was out of a movie I ran into his arms! Taking in every scent...every word...every touch...
"I-I thought y-y-you didn't show... I thought you chose Steph!" I cried onto his shoulder.
However, these weren't the sad tears I had when I thought he didn't... These were happy tears...
Finally, he's mine... I think...
He hugged me tighter. And I was hoping that he was never going to let go!
"So, what does this mean?" I asked, looking up into his eyes.
"Its over between me and Steph..."
"...and?"
"I love you, too..."
These words sent my heart flying!
HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME! HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME! AHHHHH!
I squeezed onto him as tight as I could.
"So, does this mean that... you and me?"
"You and me... yes!" I smilled so big I felt like my cheeks would pop like balloon!
Then I kissed him... and he kissed me back!
I can't even remember how long we hugged for... I just felt so fucking happy! I bet this smile will never vanish!
