i only own Halley, Arya, Hanah, and Aubree

Chapter 5

Halley's POV

I turned and walked over to Arya. I saw him walk over to where Darry was.

"What was that all about? Aren't you still with Soda?" Arya asked me when I reached her.

"It was nothing. And yes, I'm still with Soda."

"It didn't look like nothing. You two looked pretty comfortable," she said with a smile, "You just better hope Darry or Steve don't tell Soda."

"Yeah. Don't worry. They won't, I hope."

I saw Two-Bit sitting at the bar. "I'll be back later."

I went and sat down next to Two-Bit. "Hey Two-Bit." Of course, he was drinking.

"Hey babe."

"I need a drink. Wanna get me one?" I asked him. I usually don't drink, but this whole thing with Soda and Dallas was making me want one.

"Sure. I'll be right back."

Dally's POV

I walked over to where Darry was standing.

"Hey," I said.

"Soda's gonna kill you when he finds out."

"Finds out what?" I asked.

"That you're trying to steal his girl."

"I'm not trying to steal his girl. We were just dancing. And if you don't tell him, he won't find out."

"Yeah, you two looked kinda close to be 'just dancing.' And you don't usually act that nice towards people unless you want something. And if you want it, you get it."

"I don't want anything from her. Soda can have her. So just drop it" I said giving him my ice cold glare that I give people when I'm serious. He just returned it.

"I need a drink. I'll be by your house later."

Two-Bit's POV

I went to get Halley a beer. I wonder what's going on with her. She never drinks. There must be something bothering her.

"Here," I said giving her the beer.

"Thanks," she said, looking distracted.

"Is something wrong?"

"Yeah."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Not really," she said, "okay, yes. It's about me and Soda, and the new guy, Dallas." I nodded in reply and she continued. "Well you know how me and Soda are….together. Well things are getting kinda boring. It seems like we're better off as friends."

"And….what's that have to do with the new guy, Dallas?"

"Well he came knocking at my door this afternoon but I was in the shower, and I was the only one home, so I had to answer the door in my towel. So anyw—.

"Wait! He got to see you in a towel before he even knew you! And I've known you forever and still haven't. Well that's totally not tuff."

"I'm sorry. Maybe some other time. But anyways, back to my story. I invited him in because I thought he was extremely gorgeous, but also because I didn't want to be talking to him in only a towel."

"Okay." Man, she was really gulping down that beer.

"So we talked, and hung around, and flirted. He even made me blush! Well, when we got here, I made him dance with me. We were wrapped in each others arms and holding each other close. It was all very romantic."

"Sounds it. But….?"

"But then I started thinking about Soda and felt guilty. So I kinda left him there."

"Oh. Well that sucks. So it kinda seems like you like this guy."

"Yeah, I do. But what about Soda? I can't just break up with him because I find Dallas attractive."

"Why can't you? If you know Soda isn't right for you, you shouldn't be with him."

"Yeah, I know. But I don't want to hurt him."

"Well he'll get over it. But if you're having feelings for the new guy, then you shouldn't ignore them."

"Yeah. You're right. Thanks Two-Bit. I can always come to you when I need help," she said and kissed me on the cheek. Then she walked away, leaving me alone at the bar.
