What if the Curtis brothers had an older brother ? Would Life bei better ?
"Hey! Ponyboy wake up! Wake up!" , I heard someone screaming. Slowly I opened my eyes just to find Sodas worried face in front of me. "Hey are you okay, little buddy?" , "Yeah I'm fine. It was just a nightmare. Don't worry about it" , I lied. I saw in Sodas face, that he didn't believe me. He always knows it , if I lie to him. "Go back to sleep, kiddo. It's two o'clock and I have to work in the morning." He layed his arms over me and I slowly driftet back to sleep. The next time I woke up, it was Darry, who told me to clean the house in the time he and Soda are at work. After they both left I stood up and started to do the dishes. Suddenly I heard a loud knock at the door. I knew it wasn't any of the gang 'cause they don't knock, they just go in and let the door slam behind them. When I opened the door, in front of me stood a young man, maybe two or three years older than Darry, and asked after the last one. "He ain't here. Darry is at work. Can I help you with something, sir?" I asked and noticed that he looks very similiar to Darry. Hell, he even looks more like dad than Darry. How can that be possible? "Do you know what time he comes back?" , "Yeah, he will be home at 7 o'clock." , "So I guess he works a lot." , the stranger stated. If I didn't get it wrong, he looked rather sad about the fact, that Darry has to work a lot. But why would he care? He doesn't even knows us, does he?
I'm sorry about the shortness of this chapter, but I will try to write more for the next chapters :-)
And I'm sorry if there are many mistakes, because english is not my my mother tongue. I'm still learning it in school, but I will give my best! ️👍
