“Daddy, dance with me.” Scarlett grins, eyes sparkling.

“Daddy’s gotta work, sweetheart.” It physically killed me to say it. Her big brown eyes stared at me, shining from the tears welling up.

Dammit. She’s done it again.

“One song.” I sigh.

Her face immediately lights up, her smile bright as the sun.

I push the chair back from my desk, pick her up, and set her on my toes.

“Cannot touch
Cannot hold
Cannot be together

Cannot love
Cannot kiss
Cannot have each other”

You sit on the floor, across the room from where he is on the floor.

“Must be strong,
we must let go
Cannot say

Cannot share
Sweet and tender moments

Cannot feel
How we feel

"Dally stop," you softly giggled as you pushed him away from you. Dally came closer and kept on kissing you while you were against the wall. He slowly ran his fingers through your hair and smiled as he kissed you again. You've been dating him for two month and you felt like the luckiest girl in the world. You only had one problem, you never told your parents and you knew they wouldn't approve of you dating Dallas Winston because of his record and he was a greaser and you were a soc. "Hey, Erin, when am I gonna meet your parents?" "Umm, well they don't know we're dating," "Wait what?" "Well...

"Paiton?" Your boyfriend Ponyboy calls from the front door. You two were supposed to go on a date, but you were super sick. He walks into your room and finds you snuggled up in blankets with his hoodie and sweats on. "Babe? What's the matter?" He asks, sitting on the end of the bed. "I don't feel well." You pout. "Aw..babe. Do you want anything? Need me to go to the store? Cuz you know I could do anything!" You laugh at how much he cares. "No, it's fine. Just stay here please." "You got it." He leans against the backboard of your bed and pulls you onto his lap and kisses your forehead. "Go...

Your class had been planning this camping trip for months, and you were super exited to go on it. Your boyfriend of a few months, Ponyboy, was also super exited. You two rode on the bus together up to the camp. Your class was staying there for three days, and even though Cherry was always all over Pony, you learned to live with it. When all of you went swimming down by the lake, Cherry was overdoing the whole "flirt with pony to piss you off" thing, and it was beginning to get under your skin. The worst part was Pony was too nice to tell her to go away, and you loved him for it, but sometimes...
