Disclaimer: I don't own The Outsiders!
It's been about a couple of weeks since the whole rumble between the Socs and the Greasers. A couple of weeks since the death of Johnny and Dally. Everything drawing to reality….. My eyes began to swell…
I was standing outside, leaning against the doorway watching the beautiful sunset go by. The Sunset was a nice golden colour with orangey, pinky hue. It was amazing I thought. It was bright and beautiful. Fresh and golden…
"Hey Pony! Don't forget the garbage!" Soda yelled from inside. I quickly blinked back my tears and turned to grin at Soda. He was in the kitchen whipping up some more chocolate cakes and milk for tomorrow morning. Soda sure loves making chocolate. We all do actually. Eating them especially. It's not hard to believe if our brains are made out of chocolate. That's what Darry said one time when Soda, Two- Bit and I along with Steve dared each other to drink a whole container of chocolate milk -while eating some chocolate cake. We were to find out who can consume them all under a minute. Boy, did I have a terrific headache afterwards. Soda and Two-Bit where passed out laughing. Darry thought we were just plain nuts.
I grabbed the garbage and slowly made my way outside. The sunset today felt different. I continued to stare out in the golden sky. Soaking in all the wonders and brightness and releasing away…..away from reality. It just looked so magical and beautiful then ever.
As I got back indoors Darry was also in the kitchen preparing dinner. I walked in my room and lied down on the bed staring at the ceiling. Glory, was I depressed.
"Dinner's ready!" Soda ran in the room pouncing on top of me giving me playful punches and tickling me.
"Quit it" I said trying hard not to grin. I didn't feel like it, but it's hard not to ever grin or get mad at Soda.
"We're having chicken, potatoes, peas…….." Soda kept babbling on and strolled out the room. Soda's sure is happy tonight. Then again his always reckless and happy.
We sat at the table and ate our dinner. Sodapop was at his usual telling stories about his day and what Steve and he got up too. Nobody seems to notice I was quieter then usual which was good because I just didn't feel like talking tonight.
"How's your composition theme going Pony?" Darry asked while taking a big bite of the Chicken.
"I've handed in already to Mr. Syme. His still reading through it though" I said while picking on some food on my plate. I wasn't very hungry tonight.
Mr. Syme is still definitely reading through it. You should have seen the look on his face when I handed my composition in.
"Why Ponyboy, that's a really thick composition you got there" Mr. Syme was surprise but he sure looked impressed.
Well the theme was to right something important to me or my experiences I thought in my head. and I did write something like that..
"Sure is". My ears where blushing..
Dinner was shortly interrupted when Two-Bit came through the door
"Howdy y'all! What's for Dinner?" He grabbed a chair and flopped himself next to Darry helping himself with the peas and potatoes. I quietly excused myself from the table and got myself ready for bed. I just didn't feel like eating or talking. As I lay lying in bed I could hear Two-Bit was telling his stories and jokes. From blondes to booze parties to his every day gimmicks.
It must have been almost 11:30pm when Soda sleepily dropped himself next to me
"Scoot over Pony, and quit reading and turn off the lights" he sleepily said.
I place my "Gone with the wind" book by the table and turned the lights off and lied down beside Soda. I lay down staring at the ceiling for a while. Everything was silent and I could only hear Soda's light breathing.
"Soda?" I asked. Slightly shaking him to see if his still awake.
"Hmmmm?" he said dreamily
My eyes began to swell having the thought of bringing up Johnny and Dallas again. I don't understand, I know I'm ok that they're not here anymore. I know I'm ok now... I just gotta be..
"Actually never mind" I said turning my back towards Soda and stared at the other side of the wall.
I can feel Soda move and I can feel he was looking at me now. I quickly shut my eyes hoping the tears won't leak.
"Hey listen Pony" he said placing an arm around me
"If it's about Johnny and Dallas, you can always tell me and Darry…" I heard him sniff and gave a quivering sigh "I know it'll take a while to get over it...…like I did with Sandy….but trust me on this Pony, everything will get better." He slowly put his arm away from me and turned the other way. I could hear Soda's breathing turn to a light steady breathing. I knew then that he was fast sleep. I turned around and was back again staring at the ceiling. I sure hoped Sodapop is right. It never occurred to me if Soda has gotten over Sandy. Maybe he hasn't gotten over Sandy. Maybe he was just trying to numb out the pain- just as I am trying to numb out the thought of Johnny and Dally not being here no more. I continue to stay awake in deep thought when I suddenly became overcome with sleepness.
Ok that was sort of "Chapter 1". Hope you guys can review!.
