Chapter 2:
Pony POV:
I guess Soda understood what I was feeling because next thing I knew he had put his hand on my shoulder and said…..
"don't worry, Pone, they'll be alright."
We were led down a hallway until we reached two separate doors.
"alright, you are with me.." one of the cops said pointing to Soda " and you are with officer Jake" he told me.
I couldn't believe they were splitting me and Soda up. He told me to tell him what happened tonight so I told him the story that Soda and I made up on the way here.
"Are my brothers and I going to be split up?" I asked hoping he'd say 'no', but he didn't, instead what he said was…
"I don't know kid, you and your brother are going to have to stay here for about half an hour until we see what our chief says. If he says he wants you brother in jail for one night then, you'll be able to go, and stay, home but if the chief decides we should take this up in front of a judge, there's good chance you and your brother are going to a boy's home."
My heart sank because he had just told me that one person decided my destiny and if that person didn't like greasers, there's a real good chance that my biggest fear in the world will happen in the next week.
Soda and I were allowed to visit the guys while the cops were talking to their 'chief'. Dally and Two-Bit didn't say much, except for Two-Bit's comment on how we should bring him some beer next time we come. Steve asked Soda to make some excuse for him and tell it to their boss tomorrow. Darry tells us that everything will be okay and that Soda should keep working and that I should keep going to school and doing my homework, he says that they won't be in there for long but I knew better than that. I wondered if he knew the fact that Soda and I could be sent to a boy's home, and then the cops came…
"Boys, we're going to have to ask you to step out now." Officer Jake said, and me and Soda got out of the cell.
"so what's the dealio boys?" Two-Bit asked.
"well you boys all have 'bout a month in jail, and you two are going to stay with your aunt until your brother gets out, then there's going to be a hearing for it and the judge will decide if you can stay with your brother or if your aunt will become your legal guardian."
Soda had had a cheesy smile on his face but that was replaced with a shocked look on his face and everyone else had the same look too. Even Dally and Two-Bit.
"what that's not right, I haven't done anything wrong. And my parents never even talked to my aunt. They spoke about never even letting us know about her. They can't go live with her!" Darry demanded. I knew that no matter what we tried, Soda and I were going to live with our aunt for a month……..maybe even longer. And I didn't even know who she was, I remembered her from one Christmas about 6 years ago but the memory was blurry.
Chapter three should be up soon this story is a bit harder to write then my other one but it's coming along. Anyways, thanx for all the great reviews and please keep R&R ing(lol)
