Endora.
I'm not quite sure what to say at this point.. I can see a small town slowly growing before our eyes, and Darry mumbles something to Soda about the new house.
The new house.. It was my fault we were moving, and that's what was eating at me. I nervously moved in the seat of the car, once again my eyes moving to looking at the passing scenery.
Maybe its what the psychiatrist had said.. Something about leaving behind the old memories.. A new start, new school.. My hands began to perspire. New kids… I heard Soda mumble about repairs, and Darry looked at me in the rearview mirror.
Two Bit and Steve had thought leaving to Iowa of all places was completely insane, as I did. I was still shocked that we were in the car now. I gulped, wondering if any Socs would be here. But then again.. This was some kind of tiny, dinky, dying place.
'For the Betterment of my Mind'.. I could've scoffed. I'll admit, I haven't been all that well lately. Johnny and Dally.. I shut my eyes tight for a minute, breathing in slowly. Were gone. They'd been gone for a long, long time now. Two months.
Two months of my life had gone in the blink of an eye..
We'd gotten a bit better, but.. It still would never be the same. We'd lost our parents, and two people who were closer then family.. It made my stomach tighten. Too many deaths… But then again, was restarting worth it? Running away from our problems?
Then it all came back, and I could've slapped myself in the face in realization. I had wanted to come to this place.
Well, maybe not here..
But to the country.. It was my fault. I looked at Darry, biting my lower lip. He was going to give up everything just to make me happy again. Soda had probably talked him into this, no doubt.
It made me sick. Did I only ever think of myself? My eyes burned for a minute, then we drove into the town.
"We're here.." Darry said in a tired voice, rubbing his temples. About two days of driving had slowly gotten to him.
Soda looked out the window, fascinated. "Not many people here, huh Pony?" He turned back to me, a sly grin on his face. I couldn't help but smile back, but it faded when I read a sign.
"End of the Line?" I blinked, over looking it.
"ENDora OF THE LINE drugs.." Darry corrected, nodding towards the smaller letters on the sign.
"Huh. Catchy?" Soda snorted, wondering why everything was a bit 'gloomy' here.
"Ahhh.. We'll get used to it. Nice little town, friendly farm type people.. We'll all get along." Darry said with a smile, scanning the new area around us.
Soda's and my jaw practically dropped at Darry's new found 'enthusiasm', but in a way, made me think this place wouldn't be so horrible..
I cocked my brow as I saw a tall, reddish haired man, most likely in his twenties, carrying groceries in an old truck.
A blond haired boy ran in circles practically, all around the truck yelling something. The taller one grabbed him, making him get in the truck and then started it, but not before looking back at me with a cold expression.
I shivered for a minute, then we passed him and left the odd pair behind. We'd moved past the town now, and reached a small, older looking house.
After all of us got out, Darry and Soda began to drag what little belongings we'd brought with us. The moving truck would bring the rest later, hopefully..
If he could find this house, I thought to myself, before letting out a loud yawn.
"Endora.." I mumbled under my breath, looking along the country side landscape, tiny flowers dotting the hills. Trees, lush and green, some even baring fruit.
Birds chirped noisily in the distance, and the sky seemed to roll on forever.
I smiled lightly to myself.
I guess I could give it a try.
