HELLO MY LOVELY READERS AND POTATOES! This fanfiction is for the lovely and fabulous The Curtis Crew! I don't know how long this fanfiction will be so for now it will be marked completed. Enjoy!
"Come on Darry! Let him go to the Party!'
"I don't want you to take my kid brother to get drunk at Buck's."
"He won't I promise! I'll kick his head in for you if he does!"
"I don't know, Steve..."
"Soda needs to go out somewhere. It ain't normal for him to stay inside this long!"
"He's just not over them being gone... It's only been a week!"
"I hate to tell you but Soda will never be over their death's. The only thing that will help him is me takin' his mind off things for a bit."
"...Fine. But be back before eleven."
"One."
"Twelve if you want to take him anywhere."
"Deal."
Sodapop and Steve left before dinner. I really should've made them wait till after dinner to leave; things were awkward and silent the whole dinner since it was just Ponyboy and I. Ever since our parents died, my two younger brothers have been a wreck. Soda's movie star smile faded away and Pony got quiet, the only time I actually heard him was when he was crying. I couldn't show them that I was hurting as well, I had to be strong for them.
"So how was school today Ponyboy?" I asked, breaking the awkward silence. Today was his first day back. He actually begged me to go. At first I was surprised, not many kids actually want to go to school. Then later in the day I realized being in the house wouldn't let him stop thinking about their deaths.
"Fine." I noticed he was just picking at his food rather than eating it.
"Just fine?" I took a bite of of my food. Pony didn't respond. "Do you need help with any homework?"
"No. Can I go?" His voice sounded small.
"I guess..." What else was I supposed to say? Sodapop would know how to respond, he knew Ponyboy better than me. Pony set his plate in the sink and locked himself in his room. What was I supposed to do now? Go after him? I quickly finished the rest of my dinner and washed the dishes. Soda would go after him. As I begun walking towards his room, a scream rang throughout the house. It sounded like... Ponyboy? I ran into his room.
End of chapter one! So sorry this took me so long, The Curtis Crew..
