I've never done this type of thing before, but I've seen Ponyboy do it before. He said it was a good way to vent about my feelings, so…here it goes. It's been two weeks since sandy left me. I don't care no more anyways. Sure it hurt, but I'll get over it sooner or later. But what I really can't get over is the fact that it's been three days since the last time I've seen Pony. It's scaring me to death considering nobody knows where he is. Darry won't sleep at night he so scared for him, I know Darry didn't mean to hit him. Darry just got frustrated at the situation and swung at him. Its tuff tryin to deal with the disappearing Pony, and sandy leavin me…I can't take no more! I guess it doesn't matter anyway, if Pony was here Darry would be yellin at the poor kid anyway. I hate when they fight and yell it makes me pick and choose sides. Well I guess I'm n\done venting, hey Pony was right it does help. I miss my little brother hopefully he'll come back soon.
