Hey how's it going? I've been through hell and back with stupid Pre-AP Chemistry and AP testing and finals. BUT I'M ALIVE! So I hope you enjoy and I hope to see all of you soon.

(( Just an FYI...Ponyboy doesn't seem to act like himself when he is with Draco. The reason for that is because he hasn't felt this type of love from anyone else. You'll really notice this side of Pony at the end of this chapter. I just wanted to clarify that to anyone.))

I walked up the stairs to my room and I lightly closed the door. Draco instructed me to go to my room and wait. "Just wait my sweet colt. I'll pick you up soon." I heard ruffling behind me and I turn to see Draco sliding through the window.

He looked and glared at me when I started to chuckle at him, "You should be happy that I love you. Because if I didn't, I wouldn't be trying to struggle to get inside your room."

Draco finally was able to shimmy his way in my room and stand full length. He changed clothes from earlier today. He was wearing dark jeans and leather shoes. He was wearing a dark green polo shirt and he had slicked his hair back like a true greaser. On top of his shirt was a black leather jacket. His emerald eyes sparkling in the dark beautifully. He stepped closer to me and lightly started combing my hair. He kissed the top of my head.

"Hello lovely."

"Oh shut up, Draco, " I pushed my head closer to his hand, "Let's go to the movies."

Draco smiled and kissed my cheek, "Yes let's go."

We climbed out the window and ducked to make sure Darry couldn't see us from outside. Draco parked a few blocks away for sneaky ways, so we walked 3 blocks to the car. We hopped in and drove all the way to theater.

When we drove up to the movies, I was surprised to see we went to the dive-in theater.

"You look pale," Draco looked over at me with concern, "Are you okay? Do you want to go home?"

"No no," I said in a rush, "No I'm fine. I just thought we were going to the movie theaters, like the one with the roof."

Draco raised an eyebrow, "Do you want to go to that one?"

"Well we're already in line to purchase our tickets. Plus, you used a good amount of gas getting here, so it's okay."

Draco looked a bit sadden and drove up to purchase the tickets.

We entered and picked a spot in the middle of the lot. We hooked up the speaker to the car radio and waited for the movie to start. Draco had just started to put his arm around my shoulders to talk to me, when my stomach started to grumble.

Draco chuckled. He leaned into my ear and whispered, "Well someone is definitely hungry."

I blushed and I pushed him lightly, "No I'm not. My stomach is deceiving you."

"We can go get some food, it's just the previews."

I smiled and giggled when Draco started whispering Italian in my ear, "Well if you insist."

Draco grinned in my ear and opened his door. He walked the other side and opened mine. We walked hand and hand to the concession stand. We were having a nice conversation when I saw Rebecca Wilkins. She is the prettiest sophomore in Tulsa. She had pale blonde hair and the biggest brightest blue eyes ever. She had full plump lips with chubby rosy cheeks. She was also the biggest snitch in Tulsa. She was with her older sister, Lisa Wilkins, and two of her friends, Ashley Young and Faith Rogers.

I turned an awful color of red and I turned around. Draco looked down at me and raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing," I said quickly, "How about you order the food and you can meet me back at the car."

Draco looked at where my eyes were staring at and narrowed his eyes, "Are you leaving because of your classmate?"

I shrugged and started rubbing my arms. I didn't want to admit to him that I was totally paranoid out of my mind with the biggest snitch in the school just probably eight feet away from me. Draco glared at the girls for a long time as if he was burning holes in their heads. Lisa turned around and started to rub her head. She looked up and smiled and waved at me, "Hey Pony, are you watching Peter Pan too?"

"Um...yeah?"

"Cool," she smiled and ignored Draco.

I glanced over at Draco and he was staring down at me with a tiny smile blooming through his face.

"See," Draco said as the line moved closer to the front and we were next in line, "Nothing to worry about."

We ordered our snacks and walked back to the car. When we sat down, the Walt Disney and started up and the sound of string instruments started. I looked over at Draco and I whispered, "Don't talk to me during the movie. Not trying to be mine or anything but-"

"You like to be in the actually movie," Draco finished for me, "I understand. My lips are sealed until the movie is over."

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

"No the whole movie was inaccurate," I yelled the top of my lungs in the car, "I love Disney and all but they ruined a great book."

Draco chuckled as he turned his left blinker on, "I'm sorry to hear that, sweetheart."

We stopped three blocks away from the house and we walked the rest of the way.

"You know I love you, right?"

I looked over at him, "Uh...yeah. What's this all about?"

We had just arrived at my house and we were standing underneath the window of my room. He grabbed both of my hands and he placed them on his chest. I felt his heart beat. It was strong and was pounding against his chest in a rapid pace.

"Do you feel that? That's what I feel every time I see you, touch you, talk to you, and even kiss you. When you leave, my heart literally stops and I don't feel complete until I have you."

He leaned me forward and kissed my cheeks and continued, "I want to protect you in anyway possible," He started to growl, "If that means I have to kill someone I would do it."

I looked up at him and kinda pushed Draco away from me, "Are you the one who hurt…"

Draco nodded and took a step forward but I took a step back, "I did it because I was protecting you. Because I love you. They hurt you and I wanted to show them that they can't touch my colt."

I looked at him with pain, "Draco...I can't love someone who hurts people."

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. The vibrant eyes turned dull and they glistened over with moisture, "You love Johnny and he killed a soc. Darry and Soda injured many socs for your protection and you still love them. Why is it you can't love me in that same way?"

I gave it some thought. I was being a hypocrite. Saying I can't love the man who loves me the most because he's protecting me, when everyone else I know do the exact same thing he does (maybe not to the same extent but still).

"If anything," Draco grabbed my hands, "just give me another chance."

I looked at him. I gave him the biggest brightest smile. You know, the one that shows all your teeth and it's so beautiful no one can turn away, "I like you for who you are. I apologize for being so judgemental and declining your love so quickly. And I love you. I love you from here to the moon and back. I would marry you in a heartbeat because I love you."

Draco smiled, "I think you're still too young for me to marry, but I love you. Ti amo tanto."

He kissed me goodnight and helped me climb back up to my bedroom. I just finishing waving at the window when I turned around and came face to face….

with Sodapop.

"So," Soda looked over at with a serious face, "Where were you and who were you with?"

DUN...DUN...DUNDUNDUNDUN
