One Life..
Disclaimer: I do not own the outsiders! The character and the plots mine alone.
Tim passed out on me before he could finish his sentence and it bothered me, I wanted to know what he was going to say. I finished up with the patient I was dealing with, than I was called back to Tim's side and to notify the doctors when he had awoken. I frowned while I sat at the side of his bed. My co-workers brought me some food and coffee when they could because I wasn't to leave his side, I frowned as I looked closer to the time, I may have to call Darry and tell him I might not be out till late. I know he'll understand but he isn't going to be happy about it. I know Darry, he won't show that he's upset he'll act like its all okay, but one day he's going to snap. But just as I thought Tim wouldn't be waking up, shocker huh, of course he wakes up, it would take a lot to kill this guy, and he's one tough hood. He looked at me and smiled,
Tim- I just wanted you to know that I love you…
I froze in the middle of getting up as I stared at him, no this couldn't be happening, Tim… No he couldn't love me! I was…. I was just a friend, I mean…. Yeah I treat him good and keep him healthy and full… I turned him arou…. I guess that should have been my clue… I turned his life around when no one else could… I gave him a choice… He got out of that life and tried to make a better one… or he lost me… and he did it, he got a job and stopped starting fights over nothing… he hadn't killed anyone… I looked at him and swallowed hard as I shook my head,
Me- Ummm… I have to get a doctor, they'll want to know you're awake…
Once I said that I ran, I left I couldn't… I didn't… oh dear lord please help me tonight, the only thing that crossed my mind, I had a dinner date with Darry, and I couldn't cancel on him because my best friend said he loves me! I mean…. No I just have to forget it, I bet he didn't even mean it the way I took it! He probably just loves me like a sister, or best friend type deal? I should really stop thinking this over, I am probably over analyzing it. He didn't mean it the way I thought he did! I smiled one I reached a doctor told him that Tim was awake and he let me leave. So I left and went back to mine and Tim's house where I got ready for the date with Darry, that was another thing I loved about not living at the Curtis', because it was like when me and Dar went on dates he'd have to pick me up, and I thought that was much more romantic than hey I'm ready lets go at the same house type of deal… it would be like we were an old married couple or some shit like that. I smiled once I put on the last of my make up for the night, my hair was done and I was all prettied up to go out, so I went downstairs and had a bottle of beer to calm my nerves before Dar got here. I couldn't be thinking about what happened earlier, I had to have full attention on Darry tonight. He'd be furious with me if I was off thinking about the well-being of someone else on our date, and once again he wouldn't show it, but I'd see it. Darry's eyes give away soo much about him, if only you knew how to read him, and know what he was normally like. I frowned just as I finished my beer I heard Darry's truck pull up, I put on a smile as I walked to the door, hearing him honk, that just made me frown even more, as I grabbed my leather jacket Tim had given me a few years back now, and left out the door. When I looked up I saw Darry sitting there impatient in his truck so I hurried over to it and got in.
Me- Darry, hunny what's got you in a foul mood babe?
For once he didn't answer me and just started driving not even looking at me, not saying a word to me, I was getting furious, as I looked around for the first time in about what! 10 minutes where was he taking me?!
Me- Are you even going to talk to me Darrel Curtis?! Where are we? What is going on? You said dinner, not some random truck ride to god knows where.
To my disappointment, he just looked over told me to shut up and enjoy the ride and didn't say anymore. All of a sudden I felt like maybe I shouldn't have gone with him on this date tonight.
