Author's Note: Okay, here's an update! Sorry it's been a while, I've been out of town. Okay, someone told me that the word Freakin' wasn't used until like the 80's. So, lets just say that this story is AU. I'm going to say right now that this story won't always have perfect grammar because.. we all make mistakes and I'm sorry. I know I switch POV's and stuff a lot so I'm sorry for that to! Anyway.. on to the story!
Flashback: A few minutes earlier (Before Two-bit arrived in the Café with Sam and Steve)
No one POV
Lauren sat at a random table all alone eating some chips when Soda came into the cafeteria. She didn't notice as he sat down next to her.
"Hey Lauren. What was up with that in the hospital room?"
Lauren choked on the chip that was currently in her mouth and finally swallowed it.
"Soda. Good gosh you scared the heck out of me (Sorry I don't cuss)"
Soda laughed and flashed her his beautiful smile. Lauren felt herself smiling back at him.
"Sorry. It seemed really awkward in the hospital room. Something wrong?"
Lauren stuffed a bunch of chips in her mouth to avoid answering his question once again.
"Lauren.. come on. You can tell me anything. We grew up together."
Lauren finished eating her chips while thinking, Sure, I can tell you anything..I just can't tell you I've been in love with you since 6th grade.
"I know. It's just.." Lauren starts to spill her true feelings for him but then says something else, "My parents. They've been drinkn a lot more these days. Bruises are getting' a lot worse than before…" Lauren choked back a sob, "Johnny and Dally."
It wasn't really a lie; her parents had been beating her more lately. Soda nodded understandingly. He wished he could tell her how he really felt about her.
Suddenly, he blurts out what he's been holding in for a long time, "I love you Lauren."
Lauren looks up from her chips and stops eating. No one says anything for a couple of minutes.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I know you don't feel the same..I'm sor-" Soda starts to apologize but is cut off with lips on his. Soda smiles into the kiss.
The teenagers feel eyes on them as they continue to make out.
Then they both hear Two-Bit say, "Well, it's about time you two kids got together!"
Lauren POV
I pull back from kissing Soda and saw Two-bit, Sam, and Steve all smiling at us. I blush and just look away from the gang. I don't even look at Soda.
"Laur.. can I talk to you for a minute?" Sam asks with a smile on her face.
I just nod as I get up and walk with Sam over to a trash can.
"What the heck is going on?" Sam says with a smile as I throw my chips away.
"Nothin's goin on." I say while staring at the ground.
"Yeah right. Come on, tell me!"
I smile as I tell her what happened in the past few minutes.
"That's great, Lauren!" she squeals and hugs me.
"Yeah. I've been waiting forever for this! I'm so glad something good has finally happened in my life."
Sam smiles at me as we walk back over to the boys.
Soda pov
I look at Lauren who just blushes and I look down as I feel my face getting red.
"Laur.. can I talk to you for a minute?" Sam asks Lauren and I see out of the corner of my eye that she nods and gets up.
I smile as I watch them walk away. Lauren looks so cute when she blushes, I think to myself.
I look up at Two-Bit and Steve with a smile on my face.
"What the heck.." Two-bit starts.
I tell them what happened a few moments ago with a big smile on my face.
"Good for you buddy." Steve says and playfully punches my arm.
"Yeah. You got a job and a girl. I'd say your pretty lucky." Two-bit says with a smile on his face too.
I hear a squeal and turn around to see Sam hugging Lauren. I turn back around to see the guys sitting at the table. I glare at them.
"What?" Two- Bit asks while drumming his fingers on the table.
"Go away while I talk to Lauren." I say quickly as I turn around to notice the girls coming back.
"but.." Two-Bit starts but Steve pulls him out of the chair and out of the cafeteria.
I laugh as the girls come up to the table.
"What's so funny?" Lauren asks.
I smile at her and just shrug. Sam stands around awkwardly and Lauren glares at her.
"What?" Sam says with a knowing smile.
I look at Lauren who is still glaring at Sam.
"Oh.. okay. Catch ya lovebirds later." Sam says as she walks out of the cafeteria.
I turn in the chair to face Lauren as soon as I do, Lauren says ,"I love you, too Soda."
