It’s you and Soda’s one year anniversary. You had picked out the perfect gift for him. It was a beautiful necklace with your initials on it. You placed it into the velvet-lined box, stuffing it in your pocket.

You headed out.

When you arrived at the Curtis’s house, you knocked in anticipation. A few moments later, the door opened with the click of the lock. It was Darry. Honestly, you were still a little intimidated by him. But you shot him a smile, speaking.

“Hey, Darry. Is Soda home?”

He nodded, stepping aside to let you in the house. You headed to the room that Ponyboy and Soda shared, knocking lightly on the door. When it opened, it was Soda. He looked pleased to see you.
