Chapter one J

He didn't mean for it to go this far, to want it. No, need it this bad that he couldn't live without it. But it did go this far. There was a long list of people he had lost that he just wanted to forget about. Like his parents that had died in a car accident the night of their anniversary. Forget about Johnny who had died in a hospital from third degree burns, at just sixteen. Or Dally who was shot after robbing a store with a heater, both dally and Johnny died heroes saving little kids from a fire. And even Sandy who cheated on me and moved to Florida, Pregnant.

Between everything that went on and of the people he lost he just couldn't take it. This drove him to alcohol then to drugs, which was introduced to him by a new friend. The feeling was so good and it made him forget about, everything.

Ponyboy's point of view

A couple of days after Dally and Johnny died and Sandy left Soda started acting different. He would go to Buck's or something and not come home until late. Sometimes he wouldn't come home until two or three in the morning which Darry wasn't too happy about. But he just stopped caring, about what Darry said, he barely got off the couch, he didn't go out with Steve and after a while he moved back into his old room.

Then one day he had a friend over, and no one in the gang had ever seen her before. She wasn't a Greaser girl or a Socs, maybe someone new to town. Anyway they went up to our room, at the time, and I went up to grab my track shoes. When I opened the door I saw a bottle of pills on the bed and they were on the bed whacked out.

Darry's point of view

Seeing soda like this is really sad. His movie star looks are replaced with bags under his eyes and bloodshot eyes. You never see the smile that lights up the room, unless he's with that girl he hangs out with all the time. I don't know what's making him be like this it could be Dally and Johnny dying, Sandy leaving, or even Pony and I fight all the time. But I do know one thing I'm going to make soda better again, even if it kills me.

Steve's point of view

I really missed my best friend, we barely saw each other. I know we work together and everything but he's inside and I'm in the garage. I really suspect some thing's wrong. Everyone knows he was drinking beer but I also thought it could be something else too. I tried to talk to him about it but he just shrugged it off and ignored me for the rest of the day. I just want my best friend to be better.

Two-bit's point of view

A while back I went down to bucks for a wild party. And of all people I saw there I saw Soda! I don't think Darry even let Pony and Soda go to these things. But he looked like he was having a good tie and who was I to ruin it? Then he picked up a beer and took a sip. I couldn't believe my Eyes! Mr. Soberpop Curtis, who never took even a sip of it. I was shocked to but even I didn't know how far it would go.

Carter's point of view

I met soda when I first came in to town, I pulled in to the DX station he worked at and we hung out ever since. He and I talked about everything… I learned that his parents died in a car accident. He lived with his brothers, Darry and Pony. Two members of his gang, the greasers, had died after saving kids from a fire. His last girlfriend, Sandy, cheated on him and left to Florida, pregnant. And I also knew he had a best buddy named Steve.

We helped each other with everything. He helped me when I first came in to town and had nowhere to stay he let me stay at the DX. And I helped him by introducing him to my drug of the week provided by my dealer. It helped me get over my toughest problems so I thought it could help him to.

The First time we tried it we tried it we were at the DX after it was closed and we had my weekly dose. He wanted more but we didn't have enough money combined so he had to wait. When had enough to buy more we used it in two days. I heard somewhere that it was bad to have this for you but when could something this good be bad for you?

Sodapop's point of view

Ever since Carter came into my life a lot has changed. I don't need to worry about the small things and I had someone I could talk to. I always helped everyone else with their problems, but what happened when I had problems? Who would help me? She really helped me.

The only people that knew what we were doing were Steve and Pony. Steve because once he asked me about my bloodshot eyes, so I told carter and she gave me these eye drops. They make it look like I haven't been on anything.

I think Pony knows is because once he walked me and Carter during a buzz. That's only one of the reasons I wanted to switch rooms. The other reason is, you can't get any sleep with that kid. He's always kicking and when you want to sleep it dosent really work.

I Wonder what Darry would do if he found out I was I on drugs. I bet he'd flip out it be pretty funny though.
