I woke up to the sound of, well, a lot of things. I sat up on the couch, rubbing my face with my hand and sighing. I stood up and popped my back, then listened into the sounds being made around the house. I heard sizzling coming from the kitchen, so someone was cooking, and then I heard the TV, and looked to my left, seeing Two-Bit sitting in a lounge chair, watching Mickey.
"Morning, sleepy head." He called out, laughing as I looked at him.
"Morning, Two-Bit." I said as I raked my hands through my tangled hair.
"You look like you got a nice sleep." I heard someone say from behind me. I turned around to see Dally standing there, leaning against the wall to the hallway. I perked up and ran to him, jumping on him and engulfing him into a big hug. He stumbled back but caught himself on the wall.
"Dammit, Lil, careful! You almost made me spill my beer!" He exclaimed, chuckling. I laughed too as he brought his free arm up and wrapped it around me, giving me a tight hug.
"Hey kid, how are ya?" He asked as I pulled away and hopped down. I only came up to about Dally's chin, so I had to look up at him. I'm the smallest out of everyone... Well, that does make sense, considering that I'm a girl. It would be weird if I was taller than the guys... I smiled up at him.
"I'm great, Dal. Thanks for asking." I said. He raised his eyebrows, giving me a concerned look.
"Well, that's not exactly what I've heard." He said. I gave him a confuse look, so he continued. "I heard that you had a run in with a couple of Socs?" He asked. I sighed and looked down, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration before looking back up at him.
"Dal, really, I'm fine. I had a run in with a couple of Socs yesterday morning, yes, but I'm fine, really." I said. He stared down at me with a frown on his face.
"What happened? And tell me all of it." He said. I rolled my eyes but looked back at him. I told him what happened yesterday morning and then what happened after work. He looked beyond pissed once I was finished. He's had a huge grudge against the Socs ever since what happened to Johnny. We had gotten there just in time to save him though. Ever since then we've all looked out for each other, especially me for him and him for me. He's like my second brother. I'm so glad that I have an amazing friend like him and that he cares so much about me.
Once we were finished with our conversation and I was able to calm him down, Dally decided to go get some food from Darry, who was apparently in the kitchen making eggs. I went to the washer, seeing that it was started, but through in my socks an underwear (which I had to get by quickly changing in and out of my clothes without anyone walking in on me). I threw them into the washer and grabbed my clothes that were still in the dryer from yesterday morning. I went upstairs and straight into the bathroom, ready for a shower. I knew that the Curtis' wouldn't mind me using their shower because I've used it a bunch of times.
I hopped in and spent probably around thirty minutes washing up before getting out. I got dressed, having to go commando until my underclothing were done being washed. My god, this uncomfortable! How do guys do this all the time? I hope my clothes are done soon.
I brushed my hair, letting my slightly wavy dirty blonde hair cascade down my back and a little over my shoulders. It wasn't too long, just a couple of centimeters below where my bra strap clips together. Once I was finished with my hair, I brushed my teeth with the toothbrush I keep here, then headed out and straight to the washer, seeing that the clothes were now switched over into the dryer and most likely will be done in a half hour.
I went back upstairs and into the kitchen, where Darry was cooking eggs.
"Morning, Lil." Darry greeted me, giving me a quick glance. I smiled at him.
"Good morning, Darry." I said back, nodding my head. "Whatcha making there, Dare?" I said, using my nickname for him. Darry glance at me, smiling at the use of his nickname.
"Just some eggs. Want some?" He asked. Just then, my stomach rumbled.
"Oh god, please." I said, causing him to laugh.
"Okay. Two sunny side up eggs coming right up."
"Aw! You remembered!" I said, clutching my heart with both hands and pretending to swoon over him. He chuckled.
"Of course, Lil." He said, glancing at me before he took the eggs that were currently on the frying pan and putting them onto a plate, then getting two eggs from the carton on the counter and cracking them into the frying pan. "I'd never forget." He finished his sentence, flashing me his most charming smile, causing me to laugh. God, playfully flirting is fun. We both know that we're just messing around.
"Pony!" Darry suddenly yelled out, scaring me.
"Yeah?" I heard Pony answer from another room. I looked around upon hearing him, trying to figure out where he was.
"Your eggs are done! Come and get them!" He said, and Pony came in a couple of seconds later to get his food. As soon as he was in here he looked at me and gave me a small wave.
"Hi, Lil."
"Hey, Pony." I said, giving him a big smile, which he returned, and with that, he turned around and walked into the hallway, where he was probably going to his room.
"Here ya go." Darry said to me as he placed my eggs on a plate and handed it to me. I smiled and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks, Dare." I said, then headed out to go and eat my food in the living room and watch Mickey with Two-Bit while I wait for the rest of my clothes to dry.
