Hey y'all. Sorry it took awhile to update, but I've been a little busy with soccer starting up and getting ready for school, but here it is. I don't own the Outsiders. I only own Dani. Hope you like it. Please R&R.

Chapter 27

Dani's POV

"Don't worry, Sodapop. I'm just going to Angela's," I said on Saturday night.

"I know, but Tim's gonna be there," Soda replied.

"Yeah, I know, but nothing's gonna happen. I'm still pissed at him." Suddenly, what happened in the alley Wednesday between Tim and I popped into my head. I quickly shook it out of my mind, not wanting to think that I had cheated on Soda.

"Yeah, okay."

I gave him a kiss and said, "I'll see you tomorrow. G'night."

"Night." He gave me another kiss, and I walked out of the house with a bag over my shoulder.

I couldn't help but think about what might happen between Tim and me tonight. I mean, I was going to his house. The only people that would be home were him, Angela, and me, unless he ends up going somewhere, which I doubt since he said he was gonna try and get me back. And this is the perfect chance for him to try, considering I'll be at his house all night, unless Angel and I go out somewhere.

I reached the house and knocked on the door. I heard movement inside and waited patiently. When the door opened, Tim was on the other side. "Hey babe," he said.

"Don't call me that. Where's Angel?"

"In her room." I walked inside and headed for the stairs. "And might I say you're lookin' sexy tonight."

"Thanks," I said, looking annoyed, but on the inside, I was blushing like crazy. I walked upstairs and knocked on Angel's door.

"Come in," she called from the other side. I walked in, and she yelled, "Dani! You're here!"

"Of course I'm here. I wouldn't miss a girls' night with you, especially since we haven't seen each other in like forever," I said, putting my bag on her floor and sitting on the bed.

"Well, I figured since Tim was gonna be here, you might have changed your mind about coming."

"Never. I can deal with him for one night. It won't ruin my entire time with you."

"Well that's good to hear. So what do ya want to do tonight?"

"Umm…let's see. We gotta have some girl talk, junk food, and some loud music that will annoy the hell outta Tim." We both laughed.

"Sounds good to me." We both got up and headed downstairs to raid the kitchen.

We walked into the kitchen, and Tim was sitting at the table with a beer and a carton of chocolate ice cream. Angela went to the cabinets to grab food, and I went to the fridge to get some beverages—beer, soda, water. We walked over to Tim, and Angela grabbed the ice cream. "We're confiscating this," she said.

I grabbed his beer and said, "This too." He looked aggravated, but I just smiled at him and took a sip. Then Angel and I went back to her room. We put the food and drinks on her desk, and she went over to her radio to blast some music. I grabbed a beer and sat down on her bed. She did the same. "So what's new with you?" I asked.

"I got a boyfriend!" she said, excitedly.

"Oh my god! Who?"

"Well, you know Will in Tim's gang?"

"Yeah."

"Him!"

"Oh my god, Angel! He's so cute!"

"I know!"

"So how did he get passed Tim?"

"Well, actually Tim knows. He asked Tim if it would be all right to ask me out."

"And Tim said yes."

"Yeah. Will's so shy and all. It's kinda hard to believe he's a Greaser. Anyways, I guess Tim thinks he'll be too scared to try anything, so he said yes."

"That's tuff, Ang."

"Yeah. So what's new with you?"

"Nothing really, except I got a boyfriend, also."

"Oh my god! Who? Does Tim know?"

"Sodapop Curtis, and yes, Tim knows."

"Oh, Soda's a doll, so what's he doing with you?"

"Angel!"

"Only joking. How'd you two end up together?"

"Well, it all started on Christmas. I was still kinda depressed about me and Tim's break-up. He was kinda hurting, too, since Sandy cheated on him and got pregnant. So we were kinda comforting each other. Then, like a week later, we were playing Truth or Dare, and I kinda got suckered into giving all the guys a kiss. But when it came time to give Soda one, I took him into his room so we could talk, because he was acting all shy around me. And we kissed and got together."

"Aww. That's cute. Do you like him as much as you liked Tim?"

"Umm…I don't really know. I mean I like Soda, a lot, but I don't know if I love him. I know I love…I mean loved Tim." Angel started smiling. "But it's different with Soda. Me and Tim used to be all over each other and not wanna stop. Me and Soda aren't like that."

"It sounds like you miss being with Tim."

"No," I said, quickly. "It's not like that. It's just really different."

"Mhmm, sure," she said, grinning. When I didn't say anything else, she said, "So how'd Tim take the news?"

"He was kinda mad. He kicked a trash can." She gave me a confused look. "We were kinda making out in an alley, and I pushed him away. I said I couldn't do that, and he asked why, so I told him. Then he told me he wouldn't stop trying to get me back."

"That's cute. Not the him getting mad, kicking a trash can thing, but everything else. Are you gonna get back together with him?"

"I don't know. It's complicated." She didn't say anything else, and we dropped the subject. I got up, grabbed another beer, and started dancing around the room. Angel stared at me like I was crazy. "C'mon, Ang, dance with me." She laughed and got up. Then we started dancing wildly around the room, singing along with the music.

Tim's POV

What the hell are they doing up there? It sounds like they're gonna come through the ceiling. It also sounds like they're having a full-on party, with the music blasting like it is.

I got off the couch and headed upstairs to go find out. I knocked on the door, but nobody opened it for me. I'm guessing they can't hear me. I walked into Angel's bedroom, only to find the two of them drinking beer and dancing around the room like idiots.

"Hey Tim," Angel said, still dancing.

"Timmy!" Dani yelled, putting down her beer and coming over to me. Wow, she hasn't called me that since we broke up.

"Dani," I said as she took my hands.

"Dance with me!"

"I don't dance, remember."

"Of course you do. We always danced." She pressed herself against me and started to move her body with the music. I placed my hands on her hips and danced with her. What else could I do? She's clearly had too much to drink, and I should definitely play along. Right?

After awhile, Angel looked at the clock and said, "Whoa, look at the time. It's already midnight. I'm gonna go shower. I'll be back," and walked out of the room. Dani and I were finally alone.

"Hey Timmy, let's go in your room," Dani said.

Hmm…should I let her take me into my room and take advantage of me? I decided to play along, so I wouldn't hurt her feelings or anything. "All right," I said. She took my hand and led me to my room.

When we got there, she pushed me down on the bed and climbed on top of me. She pressed her lips against mine and stuck her tongue in my mouth. Then she pushed her hands under my shirt and ran them along my chest, and I placed my hands on her thighs, pulling her closer.

She stopped and said, "Just so you know, I'm not forgiving you."

"Then what do you call this?" I asked.

"This is…a reconciliation."

"Leave it to you to use big words when you're smashed." She laughed and went back to kissing me.

Angela's POV

I got out of the shower, got dressed, and walked out of the bathroom. As I passed Tim's room, I heard sounds coming from inside. I peeked inside the slightly opened door and saw Dani and Tim making out on his bed.

Oh my god! I knew she still liked him. I can't believe it! They're back together! That's amazing! Oh my god! Wait! Didn't she just tell me she was going out with Soda? She's cheating on him! I can't believe Dani would do that! That's the reason she and Tim broke-up—was because he thought she was cheating on him.

I turned away and walked back to my room, thinking about what Dani was doing. I know she's drunk, but still. She shouldn't be making out with some guy that isn't her boyfriend. I hope Soda doesn't find out. This would kill him. He'd be so hurt. She's got to tell him though. It'd be even worse if he found out from someone else.

I shut the light off and climbed into bed. I guess Dani won't be coming back in here tonight. I fell asleep thinking, I'm gonna have to talk to her about this tomorrow.
