Intoxicated Love

Chapter 2

Y/n POV
When we entered the house all eyes were on us. "What?" I spat at them a little too rudely and sat on the couch.
"You good now?" Pony asked me.
"Uh yeah" I said.
"Wow who knew old Two-bit could be serious and help someone?" Steve said and I rolled my eyes.
"Never said he was" I responded and Two looked at me with an annoyed face.
I knew he wasn't really annoyed, but everyone else believed it.
"Ooo Two just got rejected!" Steve said
"oh ok like you're any better" Two said going back at him.
They started rough housing and I was tired, physically and mentally of their bullshit, so I went to my room and went to sleep.
The next thing I knew someone jumped on me. Out of instinct I punched them square in the face and they yelled "ow!".
I could tell by the voice that it was Two-bit. "Get off me you dumbass" I said pushing him off my bed.
I heard laughing and looked up to see Steve almost in tears from laughter.
"What did you do" I said to him and he explained through laughter "I paid him ten bucks to jump on you and wake you up, and let me tell you, best show I've ever seen!" And started to crack up again.
I saw Two-bit on the other side of my bed on the floor messing with his jaw that I punched. "Sorry Two, you caught me off guard" "it's ok, I should've known you'd do that anyway" he said and got up.
"Well I'm gonna get ready so y'all can leave now after you disturbed me from my sleep, which was going great by the way" I said pushing Steve out and Two walked out on his own.
I put my clothes on and went to hang out with the gang who were in the living room. I had to eat breakfast quick because I had to work today and I start early.
I grabbed some toast Darry was making and ate it and said "are you gonna drive me today?".
"Yeah" Darry responded and then yelled "Soda let's go! I'm leaving in a few!".
Soda ran out with his just his jeans on and said "have you seen my DX shirt? I can't find it". "It's in my room buddy" he told him and he rushed to go get it and me, Soda and Steve got it Darry's truck and he dropped them off for work first, since they're closer.
He then dropped me off at the bar I work at and said "have a good day y/n. You get off at four right?"
"Yeah" I said and got out of the truck to go work my ass off for the next 8 hours.
They're really pushing me with this job, it's always busy, the drunk people are nuts and we get no breaks, and if we do they're a minute long.
Like, how does one pee in a minute without getting distracted?

*Later that Day*
It was finally four and man let me tell you, was I glad to leave that hell hole.
Darry was outside so I walked to his truck looking half dead.
I was so exhausted.
"Someone looks tired" Darry said as I got in the truck.
"I know you must've had a long day at work" I told him sarcastically.
He realized I wasn't in the mood and drive home silently.
I must have drifted off to sleep because the next thing I knew, I was being shaken awake by Darry who was saying "we're home now".
I groaned but got up and went inside.
"Hey y/n" some of the guys said but I was too burned out to recognize who they were or to even care. I just walked into my room, flopped down in the bed and went to sleep.

Soda POV
I was in the living room talking to Steve when I heard Darry's truck pull in, but they didn't come in right away.
I looked out the window and saw Darry shaking y/n awake. She must've had another long day.
She walked inside and me, pony, two, and Johnny called "hey y/n" but she just walked by us and went to her room.
I feel bad for her, I think she may need to get a different job, this one's working her too hard. I'm also a little worried.
She never talks to us, the only person she talks to is Two-bit, so we never know what's going on with her.
I walked into the kitchen where Darry was and said "I think y/n should get a new job".
He just looked at me and said "this is wearing you out. It's up to her to get a different job, you should talk to her".

Wow seemed like he cared.

I walked to her room but found her asleep on her bed. It must've been and REALLY long day. I quietly backed out of her room and closed the door so the gang didn't wake her.
She really needs the sleep.

Y/n POV
I woke up and it sounded like there was an earthquake going on.
It startled me quite a bit but then I realized where I am, my house with seven boys.
I got up and looked at the time. It was 7 o'clock! I had been asleep for almost 3 hours!
I walked out of my room and saw what the noise was, it was dinner time. They all had ran to the table waking me up.
"Hello sleepy head" Steve said to me and
everyone turned to look at me.
I still wasn't in the mood so I said "child" and he glared at me and kept eating. I got my own food and sat down and ate.
"Hey y/n" Soda said to me. "Hm?" I answered, "I think you should get a different job" he told me.
I mean I knew he wasn't wrong, but it payed pretty well and it was helping to support us. "I'm ok" I said clearly wanting to avoid the conversation.
"Are you sure? You are always really tired when you come home and I think you should get a new job that isn't as tiring" he kept saying.
"We could get you a job at the DX" Steve added.
"Guys I said I'm ok so I'm ok" I said getting a bit annoyed.
"I think they're right" Darry said.
I looked at him.
"What do you not get by I'm fine!? Jeez back off" I said getting up and walking out of the house.
I went to Buck's because I needed a drink.
They stress me out, and this is how I cope.
I know it's not healthy but it works.
"Ahh here she is again for the fourth time this week" Buck said when I sat down at the bar. "It's the end of the week now. Just get me a beer" I snapped at him.
He gave me one, I paid and walked out.
When I'm angry and want to blow off some steam I steal stuff, and lucky for me there was a little grocery store a block away.
They definitely had some cigs there.
I started my walk down the road to the store.
