"I'll see you around Ponyboy," Sodapop said, as he walked off to his work at the gas station. Ponyboy sat on the dirty table of the small, house.
"Yeah, see ya man," Ponyboy as his brother, left the house to leave him there by himself. Ponyboy didn't know what to do with his life now. Johnny was dead. It has been four years, but it seemed like just yesterday. Johnny. Johnnycakes. The baby brother of the gang. What was the point of being a greaser when one of the most special members of your gang are gone? Ponyboy shivered. Dallas died that night too. Dally. Mr. Tough guy who turned out not to be so tough after all.
"Nature's first green is gold….." Ponyboy started, but started crying. He heard footsteps walking to the front door. Ponyboy quickly wiped his tears.
"Pony? You in there?" Ponyboy turned around to see Darry standing by the door. He looked like he had ran from wherever he was a minute ago, because his plain white shirt was ruffled and there was dirt on his black slacks.
"What? Why aren't you going to school?" Darry asked. Ponyboy looked down.
"Soda told you I'm not going?" Ponyboy asked. Darry walked in.
"Pony, I don't need anyone to tell me. I know you too well. You've been skipping school a lot lately. Why?" Darry asked. Pony turned away.
"LOOK ME IN THE EYE!" Darry yelled. Ponyboy couldn't. He didn't want to look like a wuss, like a little boy who couldn't get over something after so long.
"Darry……I'm just remembering…….." Ponyboy started. Darry breathed out slowly. Ponyboy knew Darry was getting annoyed over the same thing happening each year.
"Look Pony, how many times do I have to explain it to you? Everyone dies when it's there time. Johnny…Dallas…they're gone. We can't do anything about it. Mom and Dad are gone too. All we can do is go on with our lives. YOU can make your life miserable if you want. So tell me Pony, are you gonna live life?" Darry said. Ponyboy didn't know what to say. He wouldn't be able to concentrate in school or anything else because it was the day. It was the anniversary of Johnny's and Dally's death. He couldn't.
"Dallas would want you to go to school!" Darry said, raising his eyebrows and slightly smiling. Ponyboy tried hard not to smile.
"No he wouldn't!" Ponyboy said laughing. They laughed. After a long, long time. Suddenly all the depressing thoughts just seemed to disappear from his head. It was like just a smile, just a laugh, had made him feel like a large amount of weight that was weighing him down had been lifted.
"Darry….I wanna live,"
THE END
That was fluff! But please review!
