Two-Bit watched Darry go off with Tim to the other room to dance. He looked so... Happy...
Out of the corner of his eye he sees Dallas walking up stairs. Since he was on an apology tour, might as well apologize to him right?
He walks out into the other room and up the stairs to where Dal is. As he got to the top, he took the blanket off his head and leaned against the ledge.
"Hey Dal..." Two said in a low monotone voice
"So.. an apology tour huh?" He asked him annoyed "You got a lot of balls coming here Keith Matthews..." He added, almost in an annoyed whisper
Two-Bit nodded his head "yeah I know, everyone here.. hates me.." he said looking down at all the people that were there. He was honestly kinda surprised
"Yup. That's that point... Dumbass..." He scolded him, taking a drag from a cigarette he just lighted
"What? You waiting for your sorry?" He teased him
"Oh fuck you!.. you little prick.." he yelled at him, giving him a glare
Two-Bit signed "well I'm sorry.." he started "for always telling it like it is!" He added, mocking him a bit
Dallas didn't say anything, just a slight annoyed huff
Two-Bit was a bit confused at his response "Well I'm Just been honest!!" He yelled at him
"I'm sorry for dumping ya'! I'm sorry for not falling head over heels for you, or that guy, or- or fucking Marcy! Or anyone at this stupid fucking part!!" He yelled once more, which made Dallas laugh.
"Oh ho ho! You are so.. fucking shitty!! Do you hear yourself?!" He snapped at him, pushing himself off the railing
Two-Bit just scoffed "Everyones shitty! Hellooo??" He started "why am I all of a sudden the bad guy just for sucking at relationships" he added, crossing his arms at him
Dallas just gave him an annoyed look "are you expecting... Sympathy?" He asked, of course not meaning it
"Aww, poor Keith. Finally having to own that his actions affect other peoples feeling" he said in a mocking baby voice"Bitch please..."
He leaned back on the railing, putting his head down for a bit before before taking another drag from his cigarette
"How do you think I felt?" He asked, picking his head back up
"When the fun guy I was dating decided to just- bail on me, because I made the shitty mistake of saying I love-..." He cut himself off, staring out into the crowd before speaking again
"UGH?! It was the embarrassing feeling!... To be vulnerable... For once and..." Dallas put his head down and sighed.
"...You really just know.. how to send a message in the shitties fucking way..." He added, looking straight ahead
Two-Bit just listened to him, he sat down on the floor. Putting his legs in between the gaps in the railing. Just listened to Dallas speak made him realize just how bad he really was
"The worse part is you still make me feel like a bad person for being angry at you now!" He yelled slightly, looking over at him with a slight glare.
He then saw the look on Two-Bits face. He was starting to realize something.
Dallas sighed and kicked one of the post on the railing off, sitting down right next to him
"But hosting this party.. for everyone else you've dicked over.." he started, looking down at all the people in the crowd just having the time of their lives
"At least I can help others cope with the shit you did" he added on, smiling a bit
Two-Bit didn't say anything in response, which made Dallas laugh a bit
"What? No snarky comeback?" He asked him teasingly, giving him his iconic grin
Two-Bit just sighed as he looked out at the crowd "no..."
"You're right..." He started, putting his head in his hands
"I really am... Y'know... Sorry.." he added, moving his hands away and looking at Dallas for a bit till looking back out into the crowd
"I don't wanna be this way... Not forever..." He added, which made Dallas smile a bit.
Seeing him finally realized just how fucked up he's been treating people, it makes him happy knowing he wants to change
Dallas looked to the crowd and saw Darry and Tim dancing. Darry had a stupid smile on his face, which made Dallas laugh
"Looks like Darry's having a good time" he said, which made Two-Bit look over to where they were. He wasn't happy about it, at all. But... He was smiling. Smiling the stupid smile he'd always do to him...
'at least he's happy' he thought to himself
"Yeah? Well he needs it" Two-Bit said, letting out a slight huff
Just as the two watched them dance, Tim pulled him in closer and kissed him. And it looked like Darry liked it
Dallas laughed "Oh a really good time" he joked, just as Two-Bit yelled
"OH THAT BITCH STEALING COCK BAG!!!" He yelled, looking like he was going to jump and go stop them
Dallas just scoffed at him "Hold it Two." He said, grabbing his shoulder
Two-Bit looked at him, still with an angry expression
Dallas sighed "Y'know.. if you wanna change. It just by saying.. 'good for him. Hope he gets laid' "
Two-Bit looked back at Darry and Tim, they had pulled away from each other by now and we're still dancing. His heart hurt. Seeing Darry happy with another man just didn't sit right with him
Dallas had gotten up by now and grabbed a pice of cake from somewhere and shoved it in Two-Bits face
"Here have some cake fuckwad" he said, as Two-Bit grabbed the plate.
Dallas walked off, back downstairs to where a friend of his was.
Two-Bit stared at the cake, there was a realistic heart on it. It didn't look that good... He put the cake on the floor and got up from his spot on the floor.
He put the blanket back over his head and walked down stairs. When he got to the bottom, he walked towards the entrance of the random abandoned home Dallas thew this party
As he did, he looked over at Darry one last time. He was smiling so bright... He'd always smile like that when Two-Bit was around.. but seeing him smile just like that to anyone person... It hurt
He couldn't take it anymore. He just walked out, walking away from the party...
"What have I done..."
