Ponyboy s POV
I woke up to see a Sodapop breathing in and out slowly. He must still be sleeping I thought to myself. He looked so much younger when he slept with no worries on his mind. I did not want to disturb him so I quietly yet stealthy slid out of the bed.
I began to head downstairs. Darry s door was open and I went to see if he was in his room which he was not. Where could the idiot of known as my brother have gone? Does he ever sleep?
I went downstairs and found him cooking breakfast and frosting the chocolate cake.
Darry you should really start getting more sleep let Soda and I make breakfast for once and you sleep the extra hour. I told Darry reprimanding him yet again. He shoudl know better when Mom and Dad are away.
Who do you think you are Ponyboy Curtis I will lay you right the hell out kiddo. Darry told me in a deadly tone which I normally back down from because I know he is being serious but today I think I grew a pair.
I will tell Officer Scholfield (A/N. Real police officer but a cool dude close friend s dad) I told him strait up cause he is feeling like a badass today.
Is that so have fun in a boys home Pony. He told me smirking. He couldn't do that he was just babysitting for a few days.
I don t know what came over me but I jumped up, grabbed Darry and hugged him like there is no tomorrow. I then screamed, No Darry anything but that I am just kidding around I hope you know that! The tears began to slowly pour down my face. What is happening to me I feel bipolar.
It s okay Pony hush no no no your okay now breath in you are going to be okay I wont ever do it I love you and Soda way to much okay sit down. Darry whispered to me soothingly.
I hiccupped then Steve, Johnny, Two-bit, and Dally, walked in being loud and rambunctious. They should probably know that Soda was still sleeping. Maybe
Hey why are Pones eyes watering and being big, red, and puffy? Two-bit said in a joking manner as always. Where is Sodapop? then questioned to the public.
Who is being so loud in here? Soda said clearly peeved at the gangs antics which I agree with.
Two-bit! everyone nearly shouted pointing at him.
Yea we all think that Ponyboy over here is PMSing or in smart people terms pre-menstrual-syndrome. Steve said having Dally chuckle and everyone else turn as white as chalk. I stood there like an idiot confused.
Darry looked at me and stated calmly, Ponyboy I think it is time for you to start heading to school. I knew that school did not start until another two hours from now, but the look on Darry s face said he was about to beat the living shit out of Steve.
I quickly grabbed my book bag and hurried down the road with Johnny in pursuit probably for the same reason I hurried away from the house.
Johnny what was that all about back at the house? I asked finally out of distance of my home where we could no longer hear Darry screaming at Steve and for what he said. It must have been pretty bad for Darry to flip like that. He yells but to scream there must be a problem then.
Don t worry about it, but what do you think it is like on the other side? Johnny stopped walking and looked at me with almost pleading eyes.
I don t know Johnnycake probably happy and joyful. Everything is perfect why do you ask? I answered him honestly looking for the reasoning to that question. I really hope he isn t thinking about killing himself again we would be lost with out him.
I was just wondering don t worry though. He gave me a small sad smile that always seems to break my heart. There was a little tear on the edge of his eye daring to fall but he wiped it away with his sleeve.
Okay Johnnycake I don t want anything to happen to you. I gave him a serious look because I didn t want him to think I was joking around so I quickly added, I don t think the gang could live without you.
So I think it s time we part ways we are at school. Don t get jumped by a soc or anything I don t think Darry wants to come here and see his kid brother all beat up. He was using a joking manner but it was true.
Same goes to you. I answered him giving him a wink before heading to homeroom.
All I could think about at school was what Johnny was planning to do. I went through the motions of a normal school day with all the Soc s. Those words are really unsettling because Johnny is normally so passive it is just ugh so unlike him. I probably should mention something to Darry see what I should do about it. That s when the last bell rung I should probably go find Johnny.
Hey Johnny! I yelled down the hall making him jump a bit. I got a few dirty looks fro some kids but hey what are they gonna do.
Hey Pony, what s up? He asked over the roar of students as they swarm out of the school. Why did he come in here?
Nothing really some homework hey do you want to go see Soda and Steve at the DX and maybe grab some cancer sticks? I questioned as we walked down the hall towards the main doors of the school.
Yea I got nothing to do. The old man doesn t want me at home. They wont care what time I get home. He shrugged like it was nothing to worry about.
Don t say that Johnny Cade! Don t think like that! I looked at him in disbelief he thinks that if he disappears no one would care or notice. If anyone would care it would be me. It made me so angry that I felt tears fighting me to fall out and they seemed to be winning.
Ponyboy I m sorry don t cry no stop I was only kidding. I know you care about me but I know how to handle myself I have been doing it for years. Pony take a breather it is OKAY DO NOT worry! he looked at me just wanting an answer of some sort but I couldn t look him in the eye.
Johnny if anyone would care you disappeared it WOULD be me. I whispered to him. He had a look of relief wash over.
Hey lets head over to the DX and get those cancer sticks you wanted to get. I gave him a grateful smile.
We started to walk over when we saw some lady yelling at my brother. She looked pretty mad to me and Soda seemed to be apologizing something.
Ma am I am sorry you have to understand he was cut off
No I am not going to understand she kept yelling at him when his manager walked out.
Do you have a problem miss? He asked in a very authoritive like tone.
YES! she all but screeched.
Then please come to my office. She stormed through the door after him
Man I thought that would never end, that bitch must be on her period. Soda huffed but I don t think he realized Johnny and I were standing right there.
A period what is a period like at the end of a sentence? I asked him cautiously but all I got was the shock.
Umm uhhh yea Pony! he stuttered so I didn t believe him.
Liar! Ill just find out from Darrel! Can I have a pack of cancer sticks though? He handed them to me and just started laughing, What!
Darry will never tell you trust me not today anyway maybe in a year or so. Sodapop gave me a look that only he could somehow pull of, I may never know how.
Well bye you freak. I said my goodbyes and ran off to the house to find out what the hell was going on because everyone is acting weird lately.
