Hi everyone! I have a surprise! (Insert drum roll) I'm starting up "I hate you Sodapop Curtis" back up! I'm sorry that I deleted it to all who was reading it. But I hope you guys will read this and possibly review? ;) This story is written different than others. Disclaimer: I don't own The Outsiders
My name is Ponyboy Curtis,
and I'm fourteen years old.
I live with both my brothers,
who gave up there lives just for
me.
Both Soda and Darry were happy with
there lives, until that night. I came into
the house and saw everyone sad, and Darry
hugging Soda tightly. I asked, "What's going
on?" I got no answer, so I asked again, "What's
going on!" louder. Soda looked up at me, with red,
puffy sad eyes. "I've been drafted."
From that day, nothing has been the same. It's been quiet,
depressing, and horrible. Soda was to leave two weeks after that,
and everyday I cried alone, praying to God this wasn't happening.
But it was.
The day Soda left was the worst day of my life. Steve had been drafted to,
which made the situation worse. Everyone cried, hugged, and what-not. Even
Steve had tears in his eyes, but didn't let them fall. He was trying to stay tough,
but any second now he would lose it. "Be careful, " Darry said to both of them.
"I love you." he said to Soda.
From then on, things changed. Darry was more strict, Two-Bit got a job, and me?
I locked myself up. I didn't talk much, I didn't show myself. I hid myself from life,
hoping this was just a dream, but it wasn't.
When we got the news Soda died, I felt the world
slow down.
It felt like everything just slowed down, or
froze up.
I couldn't breath.
I couldn't blink.
I couldn't believe what I just heard.
I tried to deny, but it wasn't working.
The day that Soda came home in a box was miserable.
Darry didn't speak, nor
did he cry.
Two-Bit cried.
Steve was there, but he was
emotionless.
That night was like hell.
Darry yelled at me for not doing the
dishes.
"Darry, I didn't mean to!" I cried.
He said nothing, but he did the thing
he promised he never would do.
He hit me.
I fell to the ground, crying.
Darry sat down next to me and
held me.
"I didn't want to do that," he said.
He did.
"I love you."
Lies.
Different from the original, but still the same plot. Reviews are welcomed. :)
