The next morning...
Soda's POV:
I wake up and realize it's 7:30. I slept for a long time. I slept like at 6 or something. The phone rings downstairs and I quickly get it.
"Hello?...What?...Oh..."
I'm fired from the DX...I completely forgot about work. I missed like almost 4 weeks. Steve is also fired. My boss wasn't happy when he told me this. Oh well. I wanted to quit working there anyways. The boss was too strict to me and Steve.
"Who was that?" I hear Darry say behind me.
I turn to him. "That was Mr. Dixon. He fired me and Steve from work."
"Oh, Soda!" Darry said frustrated.
"It's not my fault! I completely forgot because this pregnancy shit was distracting me!"
"Watch your language!"
"Sorry."
Darry scoffed at me then walked away.
"Look, I'm sorry okay?" I say.
Darry turned and just nodded and walked away to the kitchen.
I didn't realize that Ponyboy was standing behind me because he immediately ran to our bedroom. I followed him and he looked upset when I arrived to the room.
"You okay?" I asked him.
He shook his head looking down. "No, you're blaming Steve for losing your job."
"No, I'm not. I'm blaming myself. Plus, I wanted to quit anyways. Mr. Dixon was always strict with me and Steve."
"Oh, okay. How are you and Steve?"
I smile. "We're great! We're dating!"
Pony stands, "Really? That's awesome!" We hug each other.
"I know! I'm so happy!"
Pony smirks at me. "Yeah, really happy." He laughs. I throw a pillow at him. I hope my relationship with Steve doesn't get affected by that bastard Bob. I don't want to tell Pony or anyone else from the gang what's happening because, right now, I need to stop Bob. As soon as possible! Also, I don't want them in danger.
I go to the living room to call Steve. I need to hear his voice. I dial his house number.
The phone rings...
No one answered.
That's strange. Steve always answers his number. Something is wrong.
