I walked out of my car and closed the door. I was so close. Only 2 hours
away from my home. Only two hours away from my family and the old gang. I
don't know what I'll find when I get there all I know is I'm almost there.
I walk to the pay phone. I dial the number I've dialed so many times before, but hung up with my own crowdedness. This time I'm going to stay on, one ring...two rings.my hand starts trembling.three rings.I'm about to hang up when someone picks up.
"Hello?" It was my youngest brother Ponyboy. I have two other brothers, Soda, he's younger by 2 years and my older brother, Darry, he's 21 two years older then me. Me, I'm Felix, I'm 19 and I left home when my parents dies a year ago. I just couldn't take it he pressure, the memories all of it. You can say I'm weak, I know I am. But it's only the emotions; in reality I'm almost as big as Darry, with Pony's emerald green eyes and Soda's brownish/ reddish/ blondish hair
"Hello, Ponyboy?"
"Yea, who is this?"
"It's me, Ponyboy, Felix"
"Felix? Where are you? Where have you been? Why haven't you called?
"I've spend time in California, I'm in Oklahoma City right now and I'm on my way home."
Really?" Pony asked momentarily forgetting his last question, and I was glad for that, but I know well that it will come up sooner or later.
"When will you get here?" his voice breaking through my thoughts "we've missed you something awful. Things just haven't been the same without you." He said the last part softly. That broke my heart I know something happened, something big, something he wants to talk about but can't on the phone. See I've always have been very protective of all my brothers, but especially Pony, because he was the youngest or because he felt things differently from other people I don't know. I would go to the end of the world for any of my brothers maybe even the gang, and I know they would do the same for me.
"I'm sorry, Ponyboy, but now I'm coming home for good. If you guys don't mind me back in the house, that is. I'll help with the bills too, I know they must be givin' Darry a stiff neck. I'll probably get to Tulsa tomorrow afternoon after I get some sleep and with traffic and all, dig?"
"Yea, great, I'm gonna go tell Soda and Darry and the gang"
"Golly Pon, you sure sound excided. I'll see ya tomorrow kay?
"Ok" and he hung up. I walked back to my car, got in and started to look for a motel for the night.
