I found soda "resting" his eyes, laying on the couch where Steve said he would be. I took my shoes off and put them behind the counter. I ran and jumped on the couch, landing with a flop. Soda Jumped up faster than a cat landing on its feet, He said "I'm so working, not sleeping on the couch. I can sleep when I am dead!" Right there, I burst out luaghing. "Oh, its only you." He siad in a relief. "Who do you think I was?" "Steve. He would've killed me if he saw me sleeping." I nodded my head since Steve would do something like that.

"Need to talk toots?"
"Kinda."
" I'M GOING ON A BREAK!"
"LONG AS I MAKE YOUR BROTHER, PONY AS MY SLAVE!" steve replied.
"THATS FINE!"
"You're fine that? I tought you liked Ponyboy?" I said concerned.
"I do but something is bothering you and I would like to know what it is."
"Okay.I told two-bit what i thought and he told me to phone him if anything happens. Knowing him, he would joke around and the gang will find out."
"That is a very good point to come to Dr. Soda."
"I perfer Dr. Pepper."
"Don't get sassy with me girl. I'm the Doctaaaaaaaaa!" He said proudly. "Okay, so whats going on toots?"
"Its kinda long. Are you ready for it?"
"Hit me with your best shot."
I sighed."Okay. Yesterday after shool, I met up with some of the gang at Dingo's like everday. They saw my black eye. Dally, got mad. He given me a blade to carry. I asked why and his reply was just incase if you got rape and said why i wouldve got raped beaause how attrative i was. He was in mid sentence when stoped. Later that dy, well night since it was 3am, he came in my room and said he had a nightmare and wanted to crash with me. I didnt know who it was but i said sure, thinking it was buck." I looked to see if soda was following what I said.
"And? What happen?" He said giving the hand gesture to continue.
"He spent the night spooing me. I woke up, screamed, he fell off the bed. You know, the stuff you see in those chick-fliks movies. Buck came in and asked what happen. I explained what happen. Him and dally stepped out of the room and talked. They thought i was "sleeping". Dally yelled at buck saying he liked me. Buck left, dally came in and said something about him being jelous of you and the gang with our frienship. He thought we had something. I passed out, woke up crying because of a nightmare and he held me till I stopped crying." I stopped and took a breathe.
"I think I know what this means." Soda said with a thinker face.
"And?"
