I Hope everyone was thrilled by my last story: Raising Ponyboy. I hope you will all love this new story: My Kid Brother Ponyboy. I got all of my reviews about Sodapop and how they hated it that I killed him. But don't worry, even though this might sound weird...Ponyboy will see Sodapop soon...(Everyone DO A TWO-BIT THINGY AND COCK YOUR EYEBROW!) S:( Story by: Kylelover101 Beta read by: AlexisLe97
Ponyboy's POV
I looked at Darry long and hard, consentrating. Maybe he's just sad that Soda went to . I'm sad too, but...Maybe Darry just needs to see Sodapop again, maybe just once more! That's what I'll do, I'll go find Sodapop, he's gotta' be with mom and dad!
I walked out of the house and to the drive way, Darry was sleeping so I snatched the truck keys. I walked over to the orange truck. It was old and rusty. I hopped into the driver's seat and put in the keys, I've seen Darry and Soda do it loads of must be easy. I turned on the truck, it made a loud sound. I plugged my ears for a second and got used to the sound. I couldn't reach the pedals, though. I'm too short.
I tried and tried, but I didn't notice that I was already moving. I looked up and saw I was in the street.
"AAAAHH!" I screamed. I didn't know what to do, shit!
"Ponyboy!" The scream broke the silence. I saw Tim Shepherd running up to me, he climbed in the truck and flicked the key.
"It's a damn good thing I caught you!" He said. "If you weren't five years old, and Darry and Soda's kid brother, I'd be beating the tar out of you!" He said.
"I'm not Soda's brother anymore...there is no Soda!" I cried desperately. He seemed to catch on.
"That's why, I was driving, I wanted to find Sodapop for Darry, so Darry could visit him..." I cried some more. I looked at had his eyes closed and he looked at the floor.
"Move over, I'll park the car again." He said.
I sniffed. All I wanted was for Darry to see Sodapop again...
I noticed Darry would leave at night more would come home from work, make a sandwich, make me something, eat his sandwich, then leave. He wouldn't come back until two or three in the morning. It was his 's when I started having nightmares again.
"Darry..." I cried. I walked out of mine and (Used to be) Soda's room. I walked to the den. As I got there,I saw Dally and Johnny crashed out on the Sofa. I sniffed. I turned to the family photos. I saw one of just Sodapop and Darry. I looked at the picture and I took it off the shelf. I moved over to the mirror and started touching my face. I wondered, how can I look like Soda? What did I do wrong to make Darry leave? I looked at the door, he wasn't back. I felt so helpless. I think, if I start to act like Soda, maybe...Darry will come home, Maybe Darry will stay.
I haven't talked to Darry in days...We don't play football much anymore. And we don't have fun anymore...What did I do wrong?
Darry's POV
"Nother' Round?" Buck asked me.
"Nah." I said. I wasn't drunk, nor sober. I missed Sodapop...so fucking bad. It can't be true.I started to tear up but whipped them out of my eyes, I have to be strong. I can't loose this battle. I started to leave when I ran into one of my old buddies.
"Darry!" He laughed. He's definitely drunk.
"Darry...whare...ave'...ooo...bean?" He said in his drunk accent.
"In La, La, Land." I said. I told him about Sodapop. He frowned.
"Sorry to hear about that...He's was a goo...boy..." He took another drink. I smiled. I loved Sodapop with all my heart. I told my buddy about all the times Sodapop and I went to the creek when we were little and caught frogs, I told him about the time we busted a neighbors window and we both had to pay for it moving grass and I told him about the school days I spent with Sodapop. I had no idea why I told him.
"He's younger, but was so damn popular," I smiled.
"Good to hear that..."He said.
"So, Paul...What's on your mind." I said. Paul cocked an eyebrow.
"Nothing,...just waiting for the...next brother..." He said.
"What do you mean? You're an only child." I smiled.
"I'm waiting for your brother." He said.I frowned.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Aren't you going to tell me about your other brother...what's his name...Pony?" He asked.
I gasped. P-Ponyboy? I forgot about him! It's been...so long!
"I got to go!" I screamed.
"Huh?" Paul said. "Now, I'm confused."
How long has it been, since I talked to him? How long has it been, since I heard him speak? How many days of school has he missed? Who...feeds him? I'm such a goddamn retarded guardian! I'm too busy worrying about my dead brother, when I'm not concerned about the brother that's living? Stupid!
Why am I even out? It's four in the damn morning!
"Ponyboy!" I yelled. I burst through the door I saw, laying on the ground...a tired Ponyboy, starting to wake up...
"Oh...Hi...Welcome home." He smiled at me, as if nothing happened...
"I'm H-" I said.
"I'M SO SORRY!" I Cried. "I'm home...I'm so sorry..." I held Ponyboy in my arms. I'm such a shitty brother. I'm sure he knows that too.
"I'm home...Pony...Don't' be scared anymore...I'm home..." I heard him sniff a bit and hold me as held each other. I really do suck at this. But I guess all I need right now, is Ponyboy. Even with Sodapop gone, I still have Ponyboy...I need to be with Pony.
"Welcome home...Darry." He smiled. My heart warmed up at that smile. He smiled like...Soda.
I smiled back. Thank God, he forgives me...
