A Wake Up Call I Wished I Had Never Woken Up To

I awoke at five AM to desperate cries of attention. I noticed Katie had not woken up, so I got up myself and slipped into the next room to see Skye in her crib, tears streaming down her face. The moment I picked her up she stopped crying. Ive helped Darry raise Pony and Kit for the past three years, but Ive never had someone depend on me like this. I cradled her in the rocker until she fell back asleep, and just as I placed her back in the crib I heard a knock on the front door.
Who the hell could be knocking on my door at 5 am?

I flipped on the porch light, and opened the door to reveal a police officer standing on my porch.
'I DIDNT DO IT!!' was the first thing that popped into my head, little did I know, I rather have been in trouble than to hear what he was about to tell me.
"Are you Sodapop Curtis?" He spoke in an deep authoritative voice.
"Yes sir, is there a problem?" I put on my respectful attitude.
"I'm afraid there was an.....accident. You were the first contact we could find, I need you to come down to the County General..." he informed.
The County General? That was on the other side of down town? Why did I need to go there?

I ran back upstairs, grabbed my jeans, and put on the first shirt I could find. I woke up Katie and told her what was happening, and I would be back when I could.
I slid into the passenger's seat of the sheriff's car. Funny, didn't think Id ever be riding in this seat of a cop car.
The sheriff explained that there was a situation...
"I believe one of your friend's had an accident..." he started, "..well actually it wasnt an accident at all...it was on purpose.."
I was a little confused.
"Sir, I'm sorry but my brain doesn't kick in till 7 am, can you please explain to me what is going on?" I admitted.
"One of your friend's attempted suicide." He stated.
Who? How? Where? When? and probably most importantly Why?
So may things were going through my head. First of all I wanted to know who. Maybe Elena...that was sort of believable...but then why wouldn't they contact Dimitri?
Or Johnny.... we haven't heard from the kid in a while, his life was never easy....What if it was Kitty? I knew the secrets she dared to never tell, I knew what she struggled with...but God please not Kitty...
I envisioned every possible scenario in my head with almost every person from the gang. The sheriff looked at my face and quickly explained what he knew,
"We do not have an identity, that's part of the reason why we contacted you. You were the only one who had a listed address. According to the report, he was found on the doorstep outside after apparently breaking into his own house. It looked liked he consumed about everything in the medicine cabinet, and his blood alcohol level was .35%...".
I was trying to process all this information...it was a guy, so that ruled out Kit, Elena, and all the other girls in the gang. But who? And .35%??? They could easily die....mixed with all the drugs he took in.... things were not looking good.

We arrived at the County General, and I was directed to one of the doctors there. "Unfortunately we have done all we can, and he has not responded yet so all we can do is wait..."
He guided me down the hall towards whichever of my friends was lying in a hospital bed. "We've pumped his stomach, and hooked him up to IV's, but....It's hard to tell with such a high alcohol level."
I wanted to cry...but not knowing who I was crying for sort of made it difficult. I wanted to think they got the wrong guy... that somehow there was a mix up and I didn't know this person at all, but once I stepped foot into that room, that hope died. The first thing I thought of to do, was to contact the person closest to him. I pulled out my phone and struggled dialing the number...
"Hello?"
"Blair? There's been an accident..."
"What? Soda? Are you okay?"
"Blair..... Dallas tried to kill himself."

Ready, Set, Go!

Last week Katie was due for her final check up. Everything was good, and the doc said Skye would come at the beginning of September.

September 1st: I basically stared at the clock all day. I wished I had worked so Id atleast have somethin to do besides wait....and wait....and wait. The next couple of days I did work so things went by a little faster, except I looked at my phone every ten minutes just to be sure I didnt miss a call from Katie.
I just about gave up. This morning at 4 AM, someone nudged me, quite hard actually. I blinked as Katie came into focus.
"Babe, wake up......" Katie said.
"What's wrong?" I said, sitting up rubbing my eyes.
Katie was hurrying around the room, grabbing stuff and shoving it into a bag.
"Skye is coming!!" She said.
I sprang out of bed in a panic, "Oh, ok, ok ok ok what do I do?" I almost shouted.
"Get some pants on and get in the car." She said.
I grabbed the nearest pair of jeans and sprang out of the house barefoot, didnt bother with shoes, cause I dont like them anyway.
I banged on the door again and again until someone answered. A sleepy and annoyed Darry answered. "This better be good Pepsi..." He said sternly.
"It is," I replied while running to the car. "Im about to be a dad." I said.
"Oh!" Darry perked up. "Ill wake Pony and we'll meet ya there." He yelled.

Katie was already in the car by the time I flew into the drivers seat. We got to the hospital in about 25,3 seconds. I ran in frantically shouting "I need a doctor, or a nurse, or anybody...." It was one of those moments where you dont realize how stupid your acting till after you act.
Katie punched me in the back, "Soda, calm down, its called labor...we're going to be here a while."
And we were. We got a room and about that time half the gang showed up....in their Pj's XD.

"Steve almost came naked, but I told him they wouldnt let him in if he didnt have clothes on." Carson said.
Most of the gang waited in the waiting room, except for Darry and TwoBit and Kitty. We sat by Katies bed and played poker for a few hours.
"By the way, Kitty and Tibbs...yall are godparents." :D
"It would have been nice to know this before today." Kit implied.
"Yeah yeah, I was....busy." I stuck my tongue out at her.

Finally they cleared the room at 10 AM, and about an hour later I was holding the most delicate thing I had ever seen. She was more beautiful than I expected, her fragile pink skin was warm against my chest. She was perfect! And she was mine!
Its funny how things work out sometimes. Thinking back on all the steps you took to get to where you are today. I never really thought of being a dad, I thought about finding the right girl, and about getting married. I thought that way back with Sandy, but if I didnt go through her, I wouldnt have found Katie, and I wouldnt trade her for anyone. Again with Snow, then I wasnt ready to be a dad, but I sorta got used to the idea right when she was taken from me. And finally I have Skye, perfect, beautiful Skye, and Im the lucky one who gets to be her dad. It all starts today, so ready..... set..... go!

How Come I Only Get Called At Work When Something Tragic Happens?

I was at work when I got the call. Suddenly it felt like my whole world had stopped, that I was the only thing moving and they were the only thing that mattered. I slowed down at the hospital doors, who being automatic couldnt open fast enough.
What had happened to them? Are they okay? What if they arent, what if theyre...dead.
NO! I refused to let that happen, not again. In my family death was no longer an option.
Jellys dad was in the lobby talking to a patient when I rudely interrupted him.
"room 237." was all he said. His voice gave no hint towards theyre condition.
The moment I pressed the elevator button I decided it wasnt fast enough and took the stairs. I found Darry, TwoBit, and Kitty standing in the hallway outside the room number Dr.Winston had given me.
A bit of relief escaped me when I saw Kit was alright, a few bruises and scrapes scattered her body, but she was alright. But... where was Pony? Was he okay? Was he...dead?
NO!.. death is no longer an option. I repeated to myself.
"We were coming back from the mall when a car cut us off going '60 down the highway. Pony freaked and swerved the car, so only the back of us hit them.... of course, the car is totaled, sorry Soda.." Kit explained, and by her expression I figured the car was her mustang I got her for her 16th birthday. But I didnt care about the car, I could fix that, Pony on the other hand was outside of my mechanic skills.
"Pony, wheres Pony??" I began to panic, until Kit pointed inside the room a few feet away.
There was Pony, lying in a bed hooked up to some machine, his body lined with cuts deeper than Kitty's.
"Pony!" I shouted as I pushed my was to him. Before I could even reach the door I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Soda he's fine." I had never found Darry's words so comforting.

A little while later Ponys eyes began to open. Darry was right, Pony was fine...except for a mild concussion and a fractured wrist.
"Hey kid how you doin?" I asked.
Pony blinked. "Alright I guess....except for a headache and...AHHWW!! What did I do to my wrist?" Pony was confused by the hard blue cast that hid his wrist.
"Calm down drama queen its just fractured." Kitty explained.
Just then a high pitched voice began shouting from the doorway.. "PONY!!" I looked over and sure enough it was Brooke. "Pony, are you okay? What happened?"
"Im fine Brookie." Pony interrupted.
She planted a gentle kiss on pony's forehead. "I'm glad." she said.
"Alright well I need to get back to work." I started to head out the door, "Don't you kids scare me like that again, ya hear?" I glanced between pony an kit.
"Yeah, Yeah...Death is not an option." Pony said smiling.

Long Time No Post

I Know it's been a while, with workin and the baby stuff and weddings and all.
Kitty and Tibbs came back last week from their honeymoon. I assume they had a good time, im sure theyll post about it. Its weir though, being related to TwoBit. I guess now I can use the excuse that were related when people as me why I hang out with him XD

Anyways, you guys havent been updated on the baby yet... well ITS A GIRL!!!
Her name will be Dallas Skye Curtis and we will call her Skye. She is due in late september. Also I have godparents... drum-roll please =D............................... Kitty and TwoBit. Yeah I had to think long and hard about TwoBit possibly having to raise my kid, but i figured as long as Kittys around it couldnt be that bad...but if Kitty wasnt...well I may need to choose a second pair of godparents just to be on the safe side.
We just finished decorating Skye's room, well Katie did it, apparently I have no talent when it comes to painting and all that...we discovered this after doing our dining room... EPIC FAIL!
Someone else please have kids so Skyes influences wont all be from Dallas -.-

My Baby Girl

Blast From the Past

100th Post

Yesterday I went next door to see if there was anything I had accidentally left while moving. I walked in to what used to be my room to see Ponys stuff already in place...
"God Pony nice to know you wanted to get rid of me so bad." I said.
"Hey when you sleep in the same room with that guy (points to Darry) for then years, then we'll talk." He answered.

I was going through the boxes in the top of the closet when I came to one filled with old photo albums. I picked up the first one and opened it.
"Oh my god Pony...... you were a cute kid.....what happened?"
"Shut up." he swung at me but missed.
I flipped through some more pages, then more and more until Pony and I were sittin on the bed reminiscing about old photos.
"Remember this? We all went camping and you fell in the lake and a fish swam up your pants." I laughed.
"Maybe that's why I dont like fish?" Pony commented.
"What are you guys doing?" Darry appeared in the doorway.
"Lookin at old photos.." I said flipping the page.
"Ewww..its Kit's butt.." Pony covered a part on the picture with his hand.
"Ha ha, thats when TwoBit pantsed her at that halloween party. Damn, he was tryin to get in her pants since he was nine." I said.
"Oooh our first gang outing with Katie.. TwoBit stole my clothes and I had to chase him bare ass all around the campfire." I explained. "And here's when we went to California..."
"And the time TwoBit stole my towel and I walked into the living room naked with all you sitting there.."
"God Soda didnt your momma ever tell you to wear pants." Darry said.
Pony pointed to another picture.. "Thats when Dallas and Tibbs got arrested for harassing prostitutes who ended up being undercover cops." He almost peed himself laughing.
"Heres you proposing to Katie.." Darry pointed out.
"Soda...why are you wearing my underwear in this picture?" Pony asked.
"Remember? TwoBit stole all of mine. Ya know Pony, what I really wanna know is why you took this picture?"
He didnt say anything.
"Heres all the wedding pictures..." He said.
"Ahh I wanna go back to Disney World." He added once we found those pictures.
"Dimitri giving Kit a lap dance, haha, oh and katie and mines Bahama trip."
"Ahaha, Your naked in front of Britney Spears.." Pony laughed.
"First time babysitting Blaze, ha ha poor kid." Darry pointed to a pic of Blaze in a hot dog costume.
"Dals bachelor party...I ery much enjoyed that." I said.
"Of course you did Soda, youre half naked." Darry commented.
"Here's when we found Kit's camera and all those interesting pics of the girls.."
"Oh and when me and steve met Jeff Gordon."
We turned the front cover of the last album.
"I forgot Johnny and Jelly went out...thats just weird." Pony said.
Old memories are fun. And I look back on all the times our gang has spent together and I cant wait to make new memories. :)

Blah

Yesterday me and katie went to see our baby :)
The doc said everything was good and normal, still dunno if its a boy or girl yet but we have picked names.

Boy: Seth Darrell Curtis
Girl: Dallas Skye Curtis (go by Skye)

Haven't talked god parents yet so if you want the job start suckin up :D (make checks out to Sodapop Curtis ahaha JK)

Kitty came over this week and helped out with the nursery. Her and Katie went shopping for baby stuff and what not while me and TwoBit did....... what did we do? Anyways, the new house is pretty much complete. Technically there was no 'unpacking' considering we only moved next door so everythings in its place. Bought some nice new furniture and what not. And this week were havin the "Dallas Fell Off The Face Of The Earth" party. =D should be fun.

Bonding Time :)

"Why are you here? Don't you have your own house now?"
Oh Pony, cant say ive missed him...then again cant say i havent either :(
"Since when did you not like me around?" I asked.
"Since you drink all the damn pepsi in our fridge.."
"Pony, thats been happening for like...ten years.."
"Yeah, its been a long time."
I threw my can at him and hit him in the head which caused him to throw a book at me. I jumped up off the couch and took a swing at him. He ducked and pulled my leg out from under me causing me to crash into the floor. I pulled his hair...
"Thats a chick move Soda.."
"Bring it Nancy.." I yelled.
He punched me in the shoulder before I pinned him on his back.
"Bet you like this dont you?" he said.
I hacked a wad of spit and let it drip down till it almost touched his face before suckin it back up again.
"Ewww, soda cooties.."
"Boy, we related...theyre ur cooties too." I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Don't you have a wife and soon-to-be kid to go take care of?"
"Katies at work, im bored."
"Dont you have a best friend to go bother then?"
I sighed. "Stevens too..... fruity. Ya know, im really startin to question the kid..."
"We've questioned him all our lives Soda, youre just his gay lover so you dont realize it."
"But pony, if i was his gay lover dont you think i woulda 'realized it'"?
Pony looked around, caught off guard that i out smarted him.
"Whatever," he finally said. He started to walk off but then turned back around.
"Soda..I miss you."
"I only live next door Pones, you cant come over whenever you want."
"Really??" he said anxiously.
"Yeah, your sister annoys the hell out of us all the time." I added.
"What? Kitty never visits us.." he replied.
"Kit never liked having a sister Pony.." and that sent him into another battle against PepsiCola.

Later that day I took Pony's advice and decided to go see Steve.
I walked up to the DX yelling, "STTTTEEEEVVVEEE----OOOOOO!"
"Whats goin soap?" he paced around the corner.
"Nuthin man, im bored." I said.
"So..you come to work?"
haha "funny, I didnt think about it like that.." I admitted.
"Arent you supposed to be gettin off soon?" I said.
"Yeah...as soon as that Dimitri kid gets here....hes usually not one to be late."
Just then Dimitri's blue '67 Camero peels into the parking lot. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair looked like he forgot to brush it this morning.
"Sorry I'm late man." He gave Steve a pat on the back.
I glared at him, "Dim, you smell like sex." I said. "Isn't that what got you in your situation in the first place?" I questioned.
"You're one to talk Soda." He answered.
"Ehh, point taken. ALrighty Steve lets go have an adventure." And so Steve and I went off to have an adventure.

Here We Are Again

3 am food runs, emotional mood swings, and the smell of vomit when I walk into the bathroom in the morning.
I can't say i exactly missed it, but i am happy that we are having a baby.
Last time I wasnt prepared, but it grew on me, and the more i thought about it the more i became prepared..just in time for it to slip between my fingers. This time is different, i am determined to make sure everything, I mean EVERYTHING will work out correctly this time, and anything or anyone who decides to stand in my way will suffer the wrath of Sodapop Curtis. (oh god im starting to sound like kit) -.-
Tuesday we went in for the first ultrasound. They put that funny gel stuff on Katie's baby bumb and then projected it on the screen. It was different than last time, i dunno how, but this time i was even more excited.
We didnt find out if its a boy or girl yet, but we did choose some names...

Girls:

Astrid Dylan Curtis

Joey Katherine Curtis

Dallas Skye* Curtis

Boys:

Seth Darrell Curtis

Ace Pilar Curtis

Boone Dylan Curtis

Let me know what you think :)

New House

Darrys been on my tail about movin out ever since me and Katie got married. I cant blame the guy, i mean i kinda agree it is time to move out, but whenever i thought about leaving it made me sad. This is the house we all grew up in, the house where we lived with mom and dad. It has too many memories to just leave it behind, not to mention how close our family is and everything. Me and Katie thought about it and have been sorta looking around for a while. I didnt give it much thought though until the house next door went on the market. NEXT DOOR, right next to our house now, its too perfect. Its in our price range and everything, so last week I put down an offer and today i gotta call sayin the house is all ours. So we will be movin in this week, it'll probably be the easiest move ever considering its just next door haha.

Happy Anniversary

I was relieved to notice that the tension in the house really dimmed down this week. I was sleeping back in my bed with my wife, instead of Pony. -.-
Yesterday was mine and Katies first anniversary. We've been married a whole year and have already been through so much. I laid awake in bed just staring at the ceiling till katie moved beside me. I noticed she was awake. We laid there... talking baby names and plans for tonight and stuff. We went to downtown Tulsa and had brunch. I know...who the hell has brunch these days? We walked the streets and stopped at every shop that caught Katies eye. We picked up food for the party on the way home.
People started coming over around 6. Darry got the steaks goin on the grill while Pony Katie and me set up stuff in the house.
I stayed far away from the beer, dont need a repeat. The first game we played was...interesting. A guy is blindfolded then all the girls kiss him once and he has to guess who it was. I went first and got them all wrong except katie....and kitty cause she kissed me on the cheek instead. The only one who guess everyone correct was Dallas, ofcourse..hes probably made out with every chick in the gang....he even guessed Steve right o.O
After that the stereo was bustin loud and people were dancing. I was standing close to the door when is slowly opened,
"Hey Tyler. Glad you could make it man." I welcomed him inside.
"Yeah......congratulations by the way." He said.
He kinda chilled by the wall for a while, wasn't really talking to anyone so I went up to him and pulled the first person I could on my way, which happened to be Bree. She was yellin at me...untill I stopped her in front of Tyler.
"Oh. Well hello handsome." she said.
I left them and walked outside where Carson was winning at beer pong. Couples occupied every corner of the house and backyard, Angela and Johnny, Pony and Brooke, Tim and Jamie, Dimitri and Jelly, Chase and Dawn. This happens every time, but as soon as someone whips it out thats it im done. And that person just had to be Steve. He wasnt even making out with anyone... he walked around sayin "Who wants to touch my weiner?", finally someone said yes....dunno who. Elena was stripping on the kitchen table with a bottle of vodka in her hand. Pony and Johnny decided to give their tongues a break and streaked through the house wearing kiddie inner tubes and putting britney spears full blast on the stereo. Kitty and twobit took things easy, and marcia thought it best to stay away.....so did Sandy, thank god. The brumley kids were smokin pot in ponys room, filled the whole damn house with smoke. People brought us presents and we had a huge cake made. At the end we busted out the champagne and Darry made a toast speech thing then everyone slowly started to leave after that. It was a great nigh celebrating a great occasion with the best person in the world, my wife Katie.

Happy Days

I never seemed to notice Tyler before, but now that I know who he is he seems to be everywhere. We had a nice dinner that night I invited him over, at least I think we did. Introduced him to the family. Poor kids never really had good friends, I cant imagine the torment of being a soc gone greaser. Its never happened before, but that makes him more of an outcast than any of us. After Tyler left that night I took a shower and was gonna go to bed but as I started for Ponys room a hand reached out from the doorway and rested on my chest,
"I heard everything you said..... to Bob." Katie said.
"It was all true." I replied softly.
'I know," our eyes locked, "I've always known, I was just.... just hurt I guess."
"And you had ever right to be, I messed up and I'm so so sorry." I contained the tears this time. "But your the one I love Katie, and I wont let you slip away from me.... id die without you." I always found that line in movies humorous little did I know id actually feel that way.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and squeezed me. I held her against me, my fingers tangled in her hair. Oh how I missed this, I breathed it in. Then she slipped away kissing me on the cheek. I stared at her for a moment, then stroking her cheek I pressed my lips against hers.
"I love you." I said.
When she pulled away she caught my hand and pulled me into the room... our room. It was nice to be back in my own bed for a change, next to the person I love most.

Deadly Encounters

I decided to relieve myself from the tension thats currently building up in my house and go out for a bit this weekend. I hit up the tastee freeze, then the vacant lot, i made sure to stay as far away as possible from the bars -.- I thought about what we needed at home and made up a list to go shopping. I was pacing the isles when I looked up and saw someone familiar, it was Sandys friend Mark, the one who did the DNA test that stated the baby Sandy is having is apparently mine. My first instinct was to ignore him, and i started to. I know he knew I was there, he kept looking over and fidgeting with a box in his hand. Finally he walked up to me,
"Look man, I need to tell you something," he was very hesitant. "I cant ruin anyones life like this and you deserve to know the truth."
I was confused. I retraced the last encounter we had but nothing was catching my attention.
"The baby isn't yours....it's Sam's"
I was confused.
"Why the hell would you lie about it?" I asked.
"Because.... its what she wanted. She says leaving you was the stupidest thing she ever did, and well when she realized your life turned out okay and her's didnt exactly turn out how she wanted, I just thought it would help her, but as much as i care for Sandy, I cant do this to you."
I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I was relieved to know the kid wasnt mine, but I still couldnt grasp the fact that he lied to me. What if he had never told me the truth?
After that he just kinda awkwardly walked off leaving me there in shock.
I felt like a huge chunk of this had worn away, yeah I still cheated but I now didnt have kid that wasnt my wifes to worry about.

I paced home after that, on my way to tell Katie about it, hopefully it would lighten things a little. I had just about reached the curb infront of my house when I hear a voice behind me, a voice i knew all to well but one i wish i hadnt known at all,
"Well, well if aint the prettiest curtis."
I turned around and faced the person I hated most in the world.
"What the hell do you want Sheldon?" I wasnt in the mood for his drama.
"I heard about your whorish little act. Didnt know you had it in you." He gave me that devilish grin that I so much hated.
I didnt want to mess with Bob, I really just wasnt in the mood for it right now, then again I never am.
"And with your ex-girlfriend... damn curtis and I thought I was the only thing that ruined your life." he laughed at his own joke.
I was fed up and frustrated. I was going to punch him the the mouth if he got any closer to me. Finally, I had enough,
"You know what Bob," I was yelling, im pretty sure the whole south and north side could hear me, "You did me a favor, if you had never taken Sandy from me I wouldnt be with the woman im with now, and i would rather die than to live life without her."
He started to move towards me, but something held him back.
"Leave him alone Bob." another voice, this one I didnt recognize.
"Go home, this isnt your fight." Bob was arguing with the person behind me.
I turned to look at him, I didnt recognize his face. It wasnt till Bob said his name when it finally connected in my head,
"Go home Tyler, your not wanted here." Bob was getting angry.
Tyler approached me, Bob just stood there a second then got back in his car and drove off.
"Tyler?" I couldn't believe it. "The younger Sheldon?"
The Sheldon parents split a while back, it wasnt a surprise to anyone really, we all saw that coming. Bob stayed with his dad on the South side. His dad was the one with all the money so when they split Tyler and his mom moved deep into the North side, making Tyler technically a greaser. Tyler wasnt ever seen with the soc crowd anyways so it didnt seem to bother him, but a former soc going grease... kinda makes him an outcast.
"Yeah." I could tell he didnt like being refereed to as Bobs kid brother, cant blame the kid though. "Im usually the first to notice when he crosses into the north side, Dad was never good a discipline..." He trailed on, i felt he was trying to get something across but didnt have the time to burst out with a life story. He was hated by the socs but disliked by greasers... he didnt really fit in anywhere. He scribbled somethin on a piece of paper and handed it to me before he started to walk off.
"If he comes back, give me a call." and with that he left. I pulled out my phone and quickly dialed the number as I watched him walk away then pull out his phone answering it.
"Hey, do you wanna stay for dinner?" I asked.
He hung up, turned around and we both walked inside.

I Know Sorry Isn't Enough

I had to tell her. I plotted all the different ways to do it in my head, but not one of them seemed to be easier than the other. I wasn't in the mood to cook dinner, so I left everyone to fend for themselves with the leftovers in the fridge. I was sitting on the couch with the TV on but not really watching it. Katie walked in the front door and noticed that I wasn't in my usual place cooking dinner. "Hey," she said walking in. "Whats for dinner?"
"It's leftover night." I said with a sigh I tried to hold back.
"Did you have fun at that party last night?" I cringed at her words.
"Katie, we need to talk about something."
Her movements were slow after that. She set her purse down on the piano bench then walked over and sat down by me on the couch.
"What's wrong?" she said placing her hand on my twiddling thumbs.
I was silent for a minute, trying to get the words out of my mouth.
"Soda, you know you can tell me." She intended on making me feel better, but it only caused me more pain.
"Katie, I got really drunk last night.....completely wasted. I don't know how it happened, I just remember waking up... and it wasn't you." I started to cry.
Katie's facial expression grew worried, "What do you mean..." My crying made her cry, and I hadnt even told her the worst part yet.
I couldnt hold off any longer, I just had to say it, "I slept with Sandy." I said
Her hand moved away from mine and she just stared with tears streaming down her face.
I started to babble on about how I was sorry and that it was a mistake, but she just continued to stare until she finally cut me off,
"I dont even know what to say to you right now." Then she got up, walked into the bedroom, and locked the door.

The next morning Pony was a little shocked to find me in his bed.
"SODA!!" I woke up to Ponyboy screaming in my face.
"What Pony, What?" i sat up rubbing my puffy red eyes.
"I thought we decided you'd stop sleeping in my bed when you got married." He said.
"Yeah well some things have changed since I cheated on her Pony." I pulled the covers back over my shoulder and rolled over facing the opposite wall.
"You did what??" He shook me.
"At that party the other night, I got wasted and.... well I slept with Sandy."
"You cheated on Katie with Sandy??"
"Yes Pony, do you need me to give you all the little details?"
"No No No, I get it." He was quick to answer. "But, Soda how could you do that?"
I rolled back over to face him, "It was a mistake Pony. A big fucking mistake." Hot tears filled my eyes, "I was drunk and I thought it was Katie, but I fucked up Pony, I fucked up bigtime and screwed my ex-girlfriend." As soon as I was finished talking Pony pulled me into a hug against his chest. Ironic, I thought I was supposed to be the big brother.
"I've never been married or cheated on anyone Soda, but if it was a mistake like you said, things should work out okay." Pony wasnt supposed to be giving me advice and telling me its okay, that was my job.
"I dunno Pony, this is bad." I admitted more to myself than to him.
"But if love is anything everyone says it is... shouldnt she forgive you?"
God why did Pony have to be so smart.
"I guess" I said. "But, I just dont know Pones,"
"Soda, I know both of you and I know how much you both love each other, if if doesnt work out for you... then love isnt what I thought it was."
I guess Pony had a point, but I just dont know yet. I felt like I couldnt possibly get any lower than this.

I Sure As Hell Didn't Expect to Find Myself Here

I came home from work wednesday afternoon with a sluggish attitude. I didnt wanna do anything with anyone. I wanted to take a shower and lounge on the couch till it was late enough when i could crawl into my bed and sleep off the wait for a new morning. Dimitri not being at work has really put a strain on mine and steves days. Too much work and not enough workers, but I guess i cant blame the guy, after all i can have sex and he cant LMAO.

I approached the shower with a relaxed mood. As soon as I stepped in to the warm water, someone busts through the bathroom door slamming it into the wall. There are only two people in the gang that do that, Pony and Steve. Since Pony was still at school for the day i figured it was steve.
"Dammit Soda hurry up we got a party to go to." he yelled.
"Steve, i aint goin to no party..."
"Like hell you aint buddy."
I barely had enough time to throw on clothes before steve had me by the arm yankin me out the front door.
"Since when did you go to parties in the middle of the day steven?"
"Since they had em in the middle of the day Soap."
Why would someone have a party in the middle of the day? We approached the house, and the moment i laid eyes on it I knew exactly who's house it was.
"Since when did you go to parties at my ex-girlfriend's house steve??" I was nearly shouting.
"Since she started throwin great parties dumbass."
"Remind me to tell Dimitri he's my new best friend."
Leave it to a greaser like Steve to stick his tongue out at you in replace of a comeback.
I hadn't seen or heard much from Sandy since she told me she was knocked up with someone else's kid and was leaving me, so when she answered the door i wasnt sure of what to say, so i let steve do the talkin........bad idea -.-
"Woah. Still as sexy as i remember. Since ur not with my buddy Sode's here anymore what about takin a whack at me?"
"I'll take a whack somewhere Steve, but I promise it won't be anywhere you'll enjoy." She answered.
I couldn't help but laugh, but as soon as I did she laughed too. God how i used to love that laugh. Everything rushed back at that moment. The nights i stayed up late to sneak out of my house and crawl into her bed, the first thought i had about marrying her, the tears that hit the floor when she told me it wasnt mine, the letter she returned without bothering to take a peek at it. It was almost overwhelming. The only thing that caused me to catch my breath was the thought of the person i had waiting for me when i got back home, and only then could i walk proudly through that front door.

We had been there a while along with most of our gang, to relieve the tension I did have a few beers, then we started dancing and having some fun playin strip poker and beer pong, then i had a few more beers, and a few more after that then a few after that. The next thing I knew I had no awareness of my whereabouts or who i was with. We were dancin and drinkin when i noticed those blonde curls dancing in front of me. I scooted up closer to her, my hands on her body, my eyes scanning her every curve. I didn't expect to see Katie at a party like this in the middle of the week, especially pregnant. I pushed the thoughts away and just kept dancing. After a couple of more beers i realized we were in a different part of the house, a bedroom, and we were on the bed with no clothes. I remember the feeling, her body beneath me, the soft noises she made as i pleased her. My lips were all over her skin, my hands caressing her body. After that I blacked out. It didn't feel long after that when the sun was streaming in on my face. As soon as i opened my eyes, the headache hit, it hit damn hard, but what i realized after that hit me even harder. I peered around the room, this wasnt my room, this wasnt even my house, and the person snuggled up against me..... wasnt my wife. It was Sandy. I couldnt remember my head hurting after that, all i could feel was the sharp ache in my chest.
I grabbed my clothes and left the house before anyone else woke up and realized what i had done. Luckily katie was at work when I got home. I felt so disgusted the moment I got out of the car I puked in the driveway. I wiped my mouth on my sleeve and went inside the house. I couldnt go to my room, the memories i had there with katie wouldnt help my situation, so instead i turned the knob of the door across from mine. I shut it behind me and crawled up in Kit's bed and just cried. I smelled awful, and I was sick to my stomach, but I didnt move. I couldnt move, all i could do was cry. After a while, the crying never ceased to slow so I decided to call someone. Who could I tell the awful, shameful thing that I had just done? Who knew how to convince me that everything would be okay? I scrolled down my contacts in my phone, and pressed call on the one right under Katie's.
It rang and rang and rang. No one answered, after all she was at school, but I tried again...still no answer. I gave up dropping the phone beside me and weeped into the pillow some more. My phone rang only a minute later. I pressed the answer button and suddenly couldn't remember what words were. I just bawled into the phone.
"Soda? What's wrong?"
"Kitty?...... I need you."

Babysitting Chase

Since Dimitris been in the hospital I decided to show Chase around Tulsa so he wouldn't have to be at Dimitri's house alone all this time. What happens when you put a happy-go-lucky, crazy person like me with an insane, over-active person like Chase? TROUBLE and NONSENSE. Having said that, you know this post it most likely gonna be long.

We decided to spend the night at Dimitri's house the first couple of nights cause we had to take care of Cloud anyways. The first thing we did was raid the liquor cabinet. We stared with the wine then moved on to the rum and the next thing we knew we were makin bloody marys and they ended up all over the kitchen. Drinking our bloody marys, we wet some rags and put them on the floor and skated on the rags across the kitchen to mop up the floor.
I ran over and turned the stereo on full blast "I wanna see your Peacock cock cock, your Peacock cock cock." Oh the greatness of Katy Perry. We danced and stripped while we danced and ended up in Dimitri's room jumping on his bed and throwing his clothes all over the place. We pulled open his nightstand drawer and found another bottle of vodka. Somehow we ended up under his bed passing the bottle back and forth telling the stories of our wasted youth. "....and then she left me...all by myself man.... all by my fucking self." I dont' even know who I was talkin about but i was balling. So there we are laying under Dimitri's bed drinking naked....and crying. After a while we ended up downstairs passed out on the living room floor. I woke up at about 3AM because I was...... wet. I sat up and noticed that there was water everywhere. It was pouring down the stairs. I hit Chase in the head and attempted to run up the stairs but i slipped about half way up and hit all the stair goin back down. I think Chase pissed himself laughing at me. No really he pissed himself. I finally made it up the stairs and realized the water was coming from the bathroom. I pushed open the door to find Cloud rolllin around on the floor soakin wet. He must have nudged the faucet with his nose or paw sometime in the night. Now the whole damn house was flooding. I heard Chase coming up behind me as I tried to turn the faucet, but it was stuck. I pulled harder and even put my foot up againt the counter to push against my weight, and when I did that, the faucet handle broke off -.- "Shit man why did you do that?" I almost back handed Chase in the face. We had to crawl in the six inch deep water to get under the sink and unhook the pipe so the water would stop running. It took us a whole freakin hour to stop the damn water from running. And the house was sitting in atleast 4inches of it. We tried to vacuum some of it and empty it out, that lasted for about an hour, then we opened all the doors so it would run out, that got rid of a lot of it. The we gathered all the fans and plugged them in so they would dry the carpet. Luckily nuthin was damaged.
After that we had to sleep at my house. It snowed twice this week, and all the school kids were out playin in the snow. Jamie called us and asked if we wanted to join her, brooke, johnny, pony, kit, steve, carson, buck, curly, and the brumleys all for an epic snoball fight. She almost cried when we declined, but we had other plans :D We stood on the porch and could see the snowball fight taking place at the vacant lot. "Ready..." I said as we pulled off our shirts, "Set.." then we took off our jeans, "Go..." we ripped off our boxers and sprinted towards all the kiddos. We screamed and ran through all their little snow walls and battle fields, they yelled and laughed as they pegged us with snow. You dont know how cold snow is until youve been pegged in the balls with a snowball. Then the girls thought it was a fun idea so they all changed in to their bikinis and we made naked snow angels. Once we thought it was cool to pee in the snow, they chased us around the corner. The nearest house was the Cade's apartment so we decided to pay Ms. Dawn a little visit. We found her window and started throwing snowballs at it. We did so for about ten minutes when someone finally pulled back the curtain. We ran around to the front door and knocked. She answered and we stood there naked and drunk, "Daw..Da..Dawn, you know...you..ju just do damn beautiful.." Chase said with slurred words. "I..i think you'd like some of this.." then he pointed to his package. When he did that I looked at Dawns face, only it wasnt Dawn. It was her neighbor whos like 70 years old. "Shit." We ran like hell as the woman claimed to call the cops on us. Those cops are fast, they were there in like three minutes. Living in Tulsa all my life i know it backwards and forwards so I took the shortcut that led me back to my house behind all the buildings where no one can see me. I left Chase all alone. He didnt return after a while. I flipped on the TV and the news popped up....and there was Chase naked being handcuffed on the hood of the cops car, and in the background was Dawn standing on the balcony laughing her ass off. I almost peed myself. It was hilarious. I assume Chase is in jail now XD poor guy.

"Oh No's" and "Oh My God's"

This has been a week of a mixture of emotions.
Dimitri had to play superhero and jump in front of a speeding car and save Jellys life. Its hard to pick up your friends shifts at work when your not sure if hes gonna wake up or not. But he did, thank god for that. I guess Steve and me will be workin over time for a while. That just means we'll get paid for overtime.... but Dimitri still gets paid using sick days so hes gettin paid for doin nothing... damn those sick days im gonna start using them. We had a busy week without Dim at the DX and I was so excited for my day off. I woke up late, took a long shower, and ate chocolate cake for breakfast. I took Katie lunch at work. Something was up with her, she was fidgety and anxious about something. She didnt bring it up so I didnt bother asking. The rest of the day I relaxed on the couch and was just about to start cooking dinner when I heard the front door open. Katie walked in and I greeted her with a kiss. I started to ask her how her day was but she pressed through the conversation and decided to hurry in to the shower. I stood there dumbstruck, what the hell was up? I pushed it to the back of my mind deciding I was gonna talk to her about it later. I needed to finish getting dinner ready. TwoBit and Kitty were gonna join us. I heard them come in the front door when I noticed it sure was takin Katie a while so I knocked on the bathroom door then decided to just let myself in. Katie was standing in a towel staring down at something sitting on the counter. I asked her what was wrong, and the answer she gave was far from anything I expected. I didnt believe it till I walked up to her and stared at the double pink lines on all 3 tests. My mouth dropped and I had to say the words myself to get them to really sink in "You're Pregnant!?!" Then she started crying.. I knew exactly why, last time this happened it obviously didnt go so well. I assured her that this time was gonna be different. We'd make it through everything, and NO ONE was going to screw this up. Id like to see Bobs ugly ass face near my house within the next 9 months....he aint gonna be around much longer. I picked Katie up and swung her around and kissed her just as Kit walked in the bathroom door, "What the hell is going on? I just heard the P word." she said. "We're having a baby." I gestured to Katie. Then there was some jumping and screaming and yelling and before I knew it the whole damn neighborhood knew that Sodapop Curtis is gonna be a dad..... for real this time.

Shoes

Saturday morning my day off. What do you do on a day off? SLEEP IN =D Well that was the plan but I realized that was shot to hell when I woke up at 8 am to Kit slapping me in the face. She was yelling at me to get up but I just ignored her and stayed put. Then she ripped the covers off me and then I heard "GOD SODA HAVEN'T YOU HEARD OF FUCKING PAJAMAS?" XD
Her loud screaming woke me up so I decided I'd get outta bed. When I asked what we were doin she just shoved a pair of jeans at me and told me to get dressed. One lesson Ive learned over the years, dont mess with KitKat Curtis in the morning, so I did what she said and we headed out the door to the car. After a short drive we pulled up to this big fancy building, I didnt realize what kinda building it was till I noticed the name. "Shoe shopping?" I said as unenthusiastically as possible. Then Kit told me to shut the fuck up and get my ass inside. I walked in and looked around. No way could we afford a pair of shoes in this place, what the heck were we doin here? Kit walked back to the dress shoes section where I saw pictures on the wall that clued me in on what we were doin. "Wedding shoe shopping?" This was gonna be a long day. She handed me box after box after box and asked which fit and which I liked. "Kit I really don't give a fuck. Its your wedding you pick." She walked away then came back a minute later shoving something in my face. "Okay then, how bout these?" I glanced at the hot pink stilettos hanging off her hand. Shooting her a look I randomly pointed at a box and she picked em up and added them to her "buy" pile. "Now does Dallas wear a bigger shoe size than you? Oh and what about Buck?" She was throwing more questions at me. "How the hell should I know? Aren't you kinda supposed to bring em all with ya?" Just then she shot me the "Are you really as dumb as you fucking look" face. "Are you kidding? We'd be kicked out after five minutes with those dipshits." She did have a good point. I sprawled out on the big round cushion in the middle of the room while Kit paid for the shoes. Then a brilliant idea struck my mind. I walked over to the first section of shoes I saw. I opened up two boxes of 2 different shoes and switched them. I then pulled out 2 more boxes and switched the shoes in them too. Then another, and another till I felt someone behind me. It was Kit. I gave her my loving devilish grin and then she joined me in mixing up the shoes with different boxes. We were almost done with a whole row of shoes when I decided to chunk a sneaker at her.... it hit her in the face. "Oh shit, I didnt mean to Kitty..." before I could finished a show came flying in my direction hitting me in the shoulder. "OUCH!" I chunked another and another until we knew it the whole damn isle was full of shoes. Thats when we heard a voice behind us, knowing it was a working we got up and sprinted out the door to the car. "So, whats next on your shopping list?" I asked. I expected a response in words but instead I gotta slap to the head.

Tough Day at Work

I got up, showered, and ate some chocolate cake before heading off to work. It was kind of a slow day.We had a few cars to work on that were brought in earlier this week but we didn't have many stop by today. There was one car that some guy brought in yesterday with all these problems... damn Ford -.- It took all three of us to work on it. Dimitri was under the car, Steve inspected the outside, and I checked under the hood. I popped the hood and propped it up and began to glance around. I started to reach for the oil tank when I heard a *snap* and the next thing I knew the hood came smashing down on my hand. I yelled some highly inappropriate language at work. Steve ran to the drivers seat and pressed the button to pop the hood again but it wouldnt work, he kept pressing it while Dimitri figured out what was goin on and slid out from under the car, grabbed a crowbar, and pried my hand out from under the hood. Damn, now we gotta fix the hood too. I was still swearing when I saw the swelling and discoloration. Went to the hospitial and found out its broken -.-
