Aftershock chapter 1
When it's time for everybody to move on, When it's time for everyone to forget, Is when it's hurts the most for the most affected.
It looked so easy for everyone else. Why not me?
Darry told me to stop thinking about it an soda told me it was all okay.
But somehow I didn't believe him...
It seemed I didn't believe anyone anymore. Not even myself.
I don't even see what i can do to make Johnny's last request. Stay gold? How can I without him?
I'm a wreck. And Dally, I can see him getting ready for another rumble. Doing flips, jumping on Darry and Steve, the difference without them is just too big . How could anyone think I could move on?
I went to school everyday. But it was different...
I was with the gang everyday. But it was different...
I lived everyday. But it was different...
Everything was different, everything was changing and it's scarring me to think that it will never be the same again.
I was so deep in thought I barely hear Darry call me down for dinner.
When I walked in the dining room soda and Darry were already sitting down and turn to stare at me.
"Hey pone where have you been?"
Soda asked offering a smile
I shrugged "just writing"
I lied grabbing a seat next to soda and across from Darry
Dinner was pretty quiet. Just talked about how are day was and whatnot
After dinner soda and I were doing the dishes and he whispered to me "So how ya been lately pone?" I gave a crooked smile trying to make it seem like I've been okay.
"I've been okay, Don't worry about me."
"I have to worry about you. You're my kid brother I need you to be okay" for some reason sudden washed over me when he said that. He needed me to be okay? Well I needed Johnny to be okay! I needed Dally to be okay too but that not what happened so no I'm not okay but that's none if his business. It's no ones business but my own and 'til I figure myself out I don't him, Darry, or anyone for that matter getting on my case.
After me and soda finished the dishes I decided to go for a walk I put my jacket on before walking into the kitchen. I looked around for a sec but I see if anyone was watching him before I opened the fridge and quickly took a beer and hide it under my jacket. Darry and soda pop where in the living room by the front door so I decided to go out the back.
I walked a little before cracking open the beer. It's not like I would get caught I could just blame it one two-bit even he would have believed he drank this.
It's not like I would have ever done this before but now.
I'm about ready to do anything...
