Guess who's back. Haha. Extremely sorry for the long wait. Well, here's what you guys been waiting for, Chapter Six. Enjoy.

I felt my face heat up as I felt everyone's eyes now on me.

Insert foot in mouth.

I looked down at my feet, avoiding everyone's gaze. "Oh," I muttered dumbly, not knowing what else to say.

Two-Bit was the one to break the awkward silence. "Haha, akwaaaard," he chuckled, leaning back into his chair once again, just to have Dally do a repeat of what happened a few moments ago.

"Just fuckin' stay down there while you're at it." Dally glared at Two-Bit, who was now lying on the floor once again.

Jesus Christ.

As I felt a headache starting to form, large, warm hands began rubbing on back. Darry leaned in. "You're not mad at Soda, are you honey?" His grip on me never loosened.

My eyes widened. "N-no, of course not. It was just a little .. surprising." I let out a nervous chuckle.

He laughed, his chest rumbling against me. "Good, good. Now, how about you go and sit on Soda's lap and show him how you're not mad with him."

I gulped, blushing. "U-uh, well—"

Before I could say anything else, Darry picked me up bridal style, and before I could even let out a squeak of protest, he sat me on Sodapop's lap with a big plop. Soda's long arms immediately latched around my waist.

The last time I checked, I have two feet of my own, I thought angrily.

Soda linked our hands together, causing my stomach to clench. In a good way. I've met Sodapop and Darry only for a few hours and they're already making me feel like a puddle of goo. (a/n: this probably didn't make any sense but oh well.)

"Are you okay, babe? You sure you're not upset with me?" Soda shyly asked.

"Yes, and positive. I'm fine, really." I really wish I was facing him so I could see his facial expressions and his beautiful, godly like features. "Well, why didn't you say so?" I could hear the cockiness in his voice. Shit. I really need to work on that.

Surprisingly, he loosened his grip on me and let me get up, only to have him pull me back down onto his lap, this time facing him. "Better," he sighed happily, "now I can look at this adorable face of yours." I blushed, making him laugh. The next thing I said threw me and Soda completely off guard.

"What happened? With you and Sandy?"

He cleared his throat. Rubbed my leg. When he spoke, his voice was flat. "That story is for another time. Okay? I'll tell you, but this just isn't the right time." His eyes were soft. Comforting.

I nodded, giving him a genuine smile. "Okay." Soda leaned in, giving me a quick kiss that still had my heart racing.

"Aww..." Two-Bit drawled out, still sitting on the floor, "Making up time! C'mon Dally!" Two-Bit waved both his arms out, closed his eyes, and puckered his lips, in Dally's direction. I tried to hold in my chuckle, and by the tell of Soda's red face, he was too.

Since Two-Bit was already on the floor, Dally took that as his only opportunity to actually hit him. And he did.

Right in the nose.

Two-Bit yelled out a loud, "Fuck!", causing a few people to look over at us, before falling onto his back, holding onto his now very bloody nose.

Soda, Steve and I busted out laughing. Johnny was kneeling down by Two-Bit, holding a whole bunch of napkins to his face, while at the same time scowling at a smirking Dally. Darry just looked up at the ceiling, murmuring a few choice words.

Yes, this is definitely gonna be interesting alright. And I can't wait to get it started.

I know, this was a very short chapter. I just didn't know how else to end it. Please don't hate me. Review?
