"I need you to stop worrying about me," He smiled. You shook your head and stroked his cheeks. Placing a light kiss on his nose. He scrunched up his nose a light blush on his cheeks. You smiled at your boyfriend of three months.

"That's nearly close to impossible, Johnny Cade," You whispered. He blushed even more, the tension growing between you too. He placed his hands on your waist and pulled you close hopping off the counter of your bathroom and embracing you in a hug. He'd gotten into it with his parents once again and you fixed him up. You pulled away and fixed the collar of his jacket. You cleared your throat lightly. "Now, let's go get a coke," You smiled. He grinned and opened the door for you and you guys left with that.

The following week

I walked down the halls at school, with my usual minding my own business attitude. Something was different, people stared at me. Well, socs stared at me and whispered amongst themselves. Greasers glared at me, I made my way to my locker head down cheeks pink. Ponyboy who was a locker next to me didn't say a word to me.

"Curtis?" I asked, him lightly tapping his shoulder. He ignored me, "Ponyboy," I said a little louder. He turned around eyebrows furrowed

"What are you hollering about?" He said sharply. I stared at him for a moment confused,

"What's going on today? Everyone keeps staring at me," I whispered looking around. Pony looked confused too as if he thought I knew why.

"Why don't you ask Jimmy Brown, you guys seem to have such a close connection," He snapped and shut his locker. "Oh, and don't even try talking to Johnny, he doesn't want to see you." He paused for a moment looking away, "He's doing just fine without you Y/n Y/l/n," Then he walked off. I was beyond confused and hurt why didn't he want to see me. Who the hell was Jimmy brown? I held my head down and walked down the halls again. There was at least 30 minutes until class. I looked up there he was Johnny, talking to Steve and Two-bit. I made my way towards them Steve was talking, but stopped as I got closer. He nudged Johnny and we met eyes. I smiled and went in for a hug,

"Hey, Johnny," He didn't hug me back. I felt a tugging on my arm it was Two-bit he pulled me away from Johnny. I felt my cheeks heat up, why was everyone being so weird. "Johnny?" I was still in Two-bits grip as Johnny looked away not facing me. "Johnny what's going on why are you being so odd?" The tugging continued and soon I was out of Johnny's sight. Two-bit was walking me you down the Hall. I wanted to ask him a million questions, but I couldn't I knew if I opened my mouth tears would spill.

"K-Keith," I stuttered out. He stopped walking and faced me his face softened. "Why isn't Johnny talking to me? W-Why won't you let me talk to him?" My voice was low as people began to stare at us. Two-bit sighed and moved us behind a building.

"He found out what you did," He said. I furrowed my eyebrows the tears of frustration rolling down my cheeks.

"I don't understand! What did I do!?" I shouted Two-bit looked shocked and beyond confused. He cocked an eyebrow,

"Jimmy," He said quietly. I stomped my foot on the ground,

"Who the hell is Jimmy!?" I nearly screamed, Keith took out a cancer stick and lit it.

"You're telling me you don't know who Jimmy is? You never talked to him, touched him, kissed him?" He asked.

"I don't even know him Two-bit why the hell would I kiss him!? What does he have to do with anything?" Something clicked in my mind I had a feeling I knew what Keith's answer was. I never did anything with this Jimmy, but from the looks of it he said I did. That's when it hit me Johnny thought I was cheating on him. I looked back up at Two-bit. "J-Johnny thinks I cheated on him. Huh?" Two-bit nodded biting down on his cigarette. I walked away, quickly and made my way out of school I couldn't deal with any of this. I went straight home and took out my yearbook. There I found Jimmy, suddenly I remembered He's in my P. E period, he could never stop staring at me for the life of him. I returned the favor with death glares. A few days ago he came up to me asked me out to the dingo I replied with a simple no and he wouldn't stop nagging me asking questioned like "Why not?" Or "Is it because I'm a greaser". Finally, he asked, " Is it because I'm ugly?" Trying to add humor to the situation. All I remember is answering a "Yes it is," I groaned and fell back into my bed. The whole school thinks I cheated on Johnny, the socs call me trash while the greasers hate on me for messing with their friend. I wanted to disappear, the worst part it Johnny thought I cheated on him too. All because a boy got all butthurt because I called him ugly. It wasn't long until I closed my eyes and fell asleep there was a knock on my door. I didn't answer, but my mom's voice called in,

"Sweetie, Johnny is here to see you. I'm going to let him in," I jumped from my bed and locked the door before she could let him in.

"W-Wait mom let me get dressed," I said quickly. I heard her hum an okay. Quickly I put on a presentable shirt and jeans I fixed my hair a bit and opened the door. Johnny stood there with his thumbs shoved into his pockets, "Come in," I whispered. He nodded and walked in the room taking a seat on your bed. I closed my door and fiddled with my fingers.

"Y/n," Johnny began. I looked down, at my shoes I didn't know what to do or what he says next. Does he still think I cheated on him? "I'm sorry, Y/n." He began, my head shot up.

"Why are you sorry?" I asked, quietly. He sighed and sat up on the bed.

"I didn't talk to you and...and Pony said those things to you, I let Two-bit drag you away," He looked so sad. "I know you didn't do anything with Jimmy Y/n. Two told me, I..." His voice trailed off. I sat on the bed too.

"You what?" I asked quietly,

"I can't get the look on your face when you tried to talk to me out of my mind. I'm sorry, I'm just so sorry," He was nearly about to stumble on his words. I sighed,

"How could you think I was cheating on you, Johnny?" I asked, I didn't want him to feel even worse but I couldn't get the thought out of my head. He took off his jacket and pulled in his hair.

"I... I don't know Y/n. I sure do feel stupid for thinking so, it's just I came to school to everyone hollering at me and I just believed them," He cringed at how he sounded. I pulled at my hair,

"Everyone?" I questioned, Johnny looked down.

"They made it sound like you didn't love me anymore," He whispered. I slide off my bed and got on my knees in front of Johnny. Taking his face in my hands,

"Johnny Cade I love you more than ever. How could you think any different?" I kissed his lips lightly then pulled him into a hug.

"I love you too Y/n and I'm so-"

"Quit apologizing Johnny, " I giggled he cracked a smile.

"Now I need to have a talk to Ol' Jimmy here," Johnny stood up. I plopped down on the ground and bit my lip slightly, I loved when Johnny got protective. He fixed the collar of his jean jacket and looked towards me. "He won't mess with you again angel,"
