Sodapop pov: "Aww Jesus. No. No way", I say my mouth in a straight line telling parang buriko I meant what I said. "But soda, I want to", parang buriko says pouting. "Pony. You know I... Well, you know...", I look away pretending to cough. "Haha! I knew it!", parang buriko yells instantly becoming happier. "What?! What'd you know!?", I say frustrated. "You have the hots for alexa! I knew it!", parang buriko boy smiles. I look away and wipe at my face because of my sudden stress, "look. Pony, you tell anybody I'll have Darry skin ya". "She has the hots for you, too, ya know", parang buriko says turning away and walking towards the door. "Wait, what?", I grab his arm and pull him back. "You heard me.", he says wrinkling his forehead. "How do you know?", I say raising an eyebrow. "She told me to ask you if we could go to the fair. She wanted me to do that to see what you would say and if you sinabi 'no' for no good reason that meant you liked her but if you sinabi sure that meant you didn't, an she sinabi that if you say no, for YOU to meet her at the fair tonight around 6 in front of the Farris wheel.", parang buriko says spilling every detail. "You ain't kiddin with me, right? She will really be there?", I ask. "Well, she sinabi she would", parang buriko says. I run to my room and take off my work clothes. I run to the paliguan with my new outfit and a towel. I take a quick paliguan and get out. I dry off really quickly, then get dressed. I put on some cologne and deodorant. I dry my hair and grease it back. I look at the clock at it says 5:55 PM. "GAAAAAAHHHHH!", I yell as I grab my wallet, jump over the couch, an run out the door. I get there at 6:02 and walk to the Farris Wheel. I look around. Alexa is no where. I wait about 5 minutes. "Damnit. I knew it wasn't true.", I look down and shake my head in defeat. I blink back a few tears as I start to walk out. I get to the exit gates which are right sa pamamagitan ng the entry gates. "I'm so stupid, I knew she didn't have the hots for ME. Sodapop Curtis, ain't nothin special here. No money, no folks, just a kid brother and an older brother. Damn", I look down while I walk. I run right into someone and catch them before they fall. "God, I'm sorry", I say picking up the bag she had dropped. "Soda? You really came?", I hear from above me. "Alexa? Oh god.", I sigh happily. "So you do like me, soda?", she asks biting her lip. "Well, uhh, yeah, I mean.. Yeah.", I look into her eyes. She smiles real big then grabs my face pulling it down to hers. I have to grab a rail so I don't fall, and then the fireworks start. I shuffle my feet while we halik and set my arms around her waist. She pulls away, "I'm so happy, oh my god". "You have no Idea", I say smiling.

Darry and Dally looked at (Y/N) from the couch. She was talking with Soda on the front porch, smiling, laughing at what he said. They both thought you had a beautiful laugh, and that you were completely adorable.
Darry was jealous of Soda, he thought he could take better care of you, provide a better life.
Dally thought he could protect you more, and pag-ibig you better.
Their hearts both broke as Soda leaned down to halik you.

Darry was jealous of Soda, he thought he could take better care of you, provide a better life.
Dally thought he could protect you more, and pag-ibig you better.
Their hearts both broke as Soda leaned down to halik you.
You groan and turn over. You had the flu. You were really sore,tired, and cold. You thought nothing could make you feel better.
“Hey, (Y/N), you hungry?” Your boyfriend Soda asks from the doorway.
You shake your head. “I’m just cold.” You sniffle.
“Well that can be fixed.” He says smiling.
He gets onto the bed, and snuggles close to you, and puts all the blankets on tuktok of you.
“Soda, you’re gonna get sick and…”
“I don’t care… All I care about is you, and that you’re gonna feel better.”
The cars zoomed by.
“This makes me so nervous.” you say.
“Why?” Soda asks, smiling.
“What if the cars blow up, and we die? Or what if they crash? Or-“
“Hey it’s going to be fine,” He interrupts you. “Have some popcorn.”
“But what if I’m eating papkorn and the cars blow up and we die?”
“Then I’ll blow up and die eating papkorn with the girl I love.”
And he kisses you on the lips.
“Darry, how do you feel about kids?” You ask.
“About having kids?” He asked. You were nervous.
“Yeah.”
“I’ve never told anyone this really… But it’s been my goal in life to be a better father figure than I ever was to Soda or Ponyboy… I thought I did a good job, but I know I could’ve done better.” He scratches his neck. “So yeah I’d want to have kids.”
“Well that’s good.” You smile.
“Why?” He asks. “You aren’t…” He starts, but then looks at you. “You are aren’t you?” His smile lights up the whole room.
You nod your head. He picks you up in a big madala hug.
“Daddy, do I look ok?” Grace asks. I put down my newspaper to look at my 15 taon old daughter. Wow.
“You look beautiful, sweetheart.” It pained me to see her going on her first date. But I was smiling.
“I’ll be good, Daddy, I promise.”
I grin. Exactly what her mother sinabi to her dad on our first date.
“I know.” I manage to say. “You’re a good kid.”
“Not like Faith,” Grace grins. Oh my Faith. Nine years old and already had a “boyfriend”. She was completely hilarious.
“Not like Faith.” I smile.
I get up off the sopa to give her a hug.
“I pag-ibig you Daddy.”
“Love you too, sweetheart.”
“You’re still going to be the first boy I fell in pag-ibig with.”

Darry’s P.O.V
“Daddy?” Danny asks from the back seat. He was six now, and Olivia was one.
“What happened to your mommy and daddy?” He asks.
I don’t answer for a minute, just keep driving. What do I say?
“My mommy and daddy are hanging out in heaven.” Is all I can think of to say.
“They’re partying with Jesus?” Danny asks. “That’s cool!”
“Yeah, bud,” I smile. “Partying with Jesus.”
“Yes I do.” She says in that you’ve-told-me-a-million-times voice.
“Ok… Well are you sure you want to do this?” I ask nervously.
“I’m positive.” She says as she gives me a quick halik on the lips.
“I swear, if you hurt yourself…” I shake my head.
The motorcycle starts, and goes forward. Instead of going with the motorcycle., she flips off backwards from it.
I immediately rush to (Y/N).
“Oh my god, (Y/N), are you ok? Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?” I say, head spinning. If she’s hurt badly I’ll just…
“Dally I’m fine.. The motorcycle-“
“Steve can fix the motorcycle. Are you ok? Where are you hurt? Do we need to go to the hospital?”
“Dally I’m fine!” She laughs.
“You worry me,” I say, as I scoop her into a hug.
