SinisterxSquirrel: Ok, This story is goin faster than I thought it would. Enjoy chapter three.
"Yeah, she woke up like four or five hours ago. She hasn't woken up since then though."Soda said absentmindedly. Steve noticed and dragged Soda out onto the porch.
"Ok, you seem kinda preoccupied and you sat in Darry's chair ever since he left I'm sure and I don't think you were to concerned about Jamie."Steve said eyeing Soda's reaction. Soda sighed and figured
Might as well tell him what she said. Soda sighed again and took a deep breath and said.
"Jamie was asleep on the couch and she started talking in her sleep and, and, and."Soda couldn't bring himself to say the rest.
"C'mon, it can't be that bad."Steve said, putting an arm around Soda's shoulders.
"She said she loved me and said don't leave me. You know the kind of stuff girls usually say when they talk in their sleep."Soda said. Steve could tell he was trying to convince himself that what she said was involuntary. Just then . . . Sandy showed up. She walked up to Soda and Steve.
"Soda can I talk to you . . . alone."she said alone as if it were a dirty, fowl word. They walked to the backyard to be alone.
"What's up?"Soda asked, looking a little nervous. Sandy sighed and said the words Soda feared most.
"I'm pregnant. The baby's not yours."
"Who's is it?"Soda asked, almost in tears.
"Its."she hesitated. Soda just kept on starring at her, his soft loving eyes were becoming wet with tears.
"Some soc named Paul."Soda froze in fear. Paul had been a buddy of Darry's when they were in highschool. They practically did everything together. Soda collapsed on the ground and just sat there. He came to his senses when Sandy put her hand on his shoulder. He got up and took her hand in his.
"It may no be mine, but I'll help you raise it like it was. I want you to marry me. Sandy will you marry me?"Soda asked. He loved Sandy with all his heart and wanted to help raise the child.
"No, I will not marry you. I'm moving to Florida to live with my grandparents. I'm sorry Soda. I was foolin 'round with Paul 'cause, I was just getting bored with you. I hope you understand."she said it like she didn't care she just told so to shove it in a nice way. She left and Soda sat down on the back porch. He felt as if he would never love again. Just then, Sarah came out. She sat down and asked .
"What did she want?"Soda made a squeaking noise and said.
"She's pregnant, Paul, the soc Darry used to be friends with is the father. I told her I'd marry her and help raise the baby. She told me to shove it, but in a nice way. She said she was moving to Florida with her grandparents and that she was just foolin' 'round with Paul 'cause she was gettin' bored with me."he sprung to his feet and ran in the house. He ran to his and Pony's room and banged the door shut. That startled Jamie and she fell off the couch. She got up slowly cussing in Russian. Steve ran to her and helped her up and back on the couch. Sarah came in looking like she was gonna kill someone. She told everyone and they all looked ready to kill Sandy, baby or no baby. Jamie struggled to her feet and slowly limped to Soda's and pony's room. She knocked on the door and heard nothing. She knocked again and said.
"Soda, it's Jamie. Can I come in?"She heard a muffled noise and opened the door slowly. She slid and gritted her teeth when the wall hit her back. Soda was laying on his stomach with his head in the pillow. She could her sobs coming from him. She sat down beside him and started rubbing his back. He looked up and put his head on her lap. She started stroking his hair.
"It was Paul. A soc she was foolin' 'round with."Soda was crying into her stomach. His arm being wrapped around her waist, his hand was resting on her back. His hand tightened on her back and his fingers dug into her bruised and extremely sore back. He hand tightened on his shoulder and he looked up at the pained expression on her face. He quickly got up and said in a rushed a scared voice.
"I'm so sorry. I totally forgot 'bout your back."Jamie smiled and said in an understanding voice.
"It's ok. I understand what your going through."Soda smiled that beautiful smile and Jamie felt like kissing him, but she knew it was a bad idea. Instead, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. His skin felt so soft, but she knew she had to stop before it went to far. Soda just starred at her. She smiled and said warmly.
"She wasn't good enough for Sodapop Curtis. You'll find some one way better than her."
"I already found someone. "He said smiling slightly. Jamie's heart dropped and she said.
"That's great. You always get the girl."she got up and walked to the door. Before she walked out, she turned and said.
"I hope your happy with her."Soda looked at her oddly and nodded his head. She walked back to the livingroom and found Darry and Dally sitting in their usual spots. Darry looked at her and knew instantly Soda said something to upset her.
"Is everything alright?"he asked. She smiled and said as calm as possible.
"Yeah, everything is fine. I'm gonna go for a walk."she walked out and closed the quietly. She was the only one who never slammed it. She started walking in no particular direction. The night air felt good on her skin. She had no jacket on to protect her arms, but she didn't care. She absentmindedly rubbed away the throbbing in her back. Finally the tears came. Today was so awful. She just felt like dying.
Soda, I'll never be with you will I? You're the reason why I live, the reason I even exist right now. You'll never know now that you have found someone else. She thought as the tears flowed freely down her face and stained them. She stepped onto the street and went to the lot. She was sitting there sobbing quietly when she felt a hand in her shoulder. She turned to see . . .
