As we walked into our house again we all sat down in the living room and Soda turned on the TV to whatever random cartoon was playing. As soon as the older girl im guessing showed up Rose said bye to us and went over to talk to her. We were all settling down from the days events, Darry spoke up. "So Johnny what are your cousins like?"
Johnny looked at everybody that was staring at him. Then he began his story. "Like Rosie said there are five of them in all. Ava, Casey, and then the triplets Sylvia, Rosie, and Jace in that order. Ava's 20 I think by now. She's a party girl that can be very scary looking at some points. She doesn't go out and get drunk every night like Two-Bit or anything,"
Two-Bit then interrupted with a "Hey I take offense to that!" but Johnny just ignored him and went on the description, earning him a laugh from Steve and Dally after seeing the look on Two-Bit's face when he realized Johnny was ignoring him. "Ava's more like an outgoing person. Always out somewhere with her friends, wither it be the mall or a party. Casey's 17. He has way to much energy and no clue what to do with it. All the triplets are 15 with Sylvia being the oldest. Then Rose, then Jace. Sylvia's quiet, Rosie's sweet, Jace is lazy."
I could tell that Johnny must be really close to the triplets because of the way he was grinning when he described them. The rest of the night went off without a hitch and we all ended up falling asleep sprawled out in the living room. I woke up to Darry making breakfast and everyone else gone. I walked over to the table and Darry set down a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me. "Mornin."
"Yeah." I replied. "Where is everyone?"
"Well Soda and Steve went to work, Dally's at Buck's, Johnny went home to shower and stuff like that, and I have no clue where Two-Bit went."
"Oh." I heard the screen door shut and Johnny walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Johnny" Darry said and Johnny nodded im response. Darry left for work and me and Johnny walked out of the house. As we were passing Rose's house Johnny turned to me. "I'm going to say hi to Ava and Casey that ok?"
At that point I really didn't care so we walked up the walkway and Johnny rang the doorbell. Ava opened the door and immediately grabbed Johnny into a big hug. I side stepped in while Ava was bawling and asking for Casey, Jace, and Sylvia to get over there. I walked upstairs out of sight while Johnny was a little busy with how many people wanted to greet him. I was going to head to the bathroom when I say a door slightly open and a radio softly coming out of it. I looked around the somewhat narrow hallway and all the door were closed except this one, so I opened the door and leaned against the door frame. The music was too loud so Rose didn't hear or see me at first. She was lying on her stomach on her bed while writing something in a journal it looked like. I realized she must have been writing a song or something when she started singing I'm guessing some of the lyrics. It sounded good and she must of thought too because she smiled and wrote something down.
"Ya know you have a really pretty voice." This made her jump and her pen landed somewhere by my feet. I picked it up and gave it back to her. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it."
"Your Pony boy right?"
"Yeah." I was expecting a no way or that's not a real name, but I was pleasantly surprised when she said "I like your name. It's original. Better than a flower."
"I happen to think your name is original and very pretty."
She smiled at this. "Flattery will get you nowhere."
"Can't say I tried." She laughed at that and I couldn't help, but smile. She invited me to sit on the bed with her so I sat down on the edge with my legs hanging off the bed and she sat cross legged against her pillow. We mostly just talked for a while and I asked her what she was like.
She looked at me smiling a toothless smile. "What you didn't like Johnny's run down of my family?"
I stared at her for a second and she laughed. "Me and Johnny were talking on the phone this morning and he gave me a run down of the entire gang and what you guys did last night."
Well that made more sense. Then Johnny poked his head in the door." Hey Pony, you want to leave now? Oh hey Rosie I didn't see you there." Rose said hey back and Johnny got called downstairs again, so with a sigh of frustration he left again.
"Um I guess that means that no matter how much he wants to leave Ava isn't going to let him."
I laughed at this. "Yeah, maybe."
We sat in silence for a little while and I finally got a good look at what I was guessing her room. The walls were blue and had fish painted on them. The bed was in the middle of the room and the head board was against a wall. There was a well stocked bookshelf and a little small blue table with a radio on it against the wall next to the bed. The desk, bed, dresser, and nightstand were all white and I couldn't help, but think of the damage we could do to this room in an hour. My eyes wandered back to the fish on the wall though. They looked like they were painted on, but I wasn't sure. They were amazing though. "Hey who painted the fish no the walls?"
She looked up at me. "Jace. He's an artist."
"Well he's amazing."
She smiled and looked down again. "Yeah he's pretty amazing."
All of a sudden we heard somebody yell my name and I assumed that it was Johnny so I stood up. "I should go."
She smiled again. "Yeah I think Johnnykinz wants to get out of the death trap I call my siblings."
I laughed at that. "Nice to see you again Rose."
"You know Ponyboy you can call me Rosie and that goes for your brothers and other friends to."
"Ok. Bye Rosie."
I saw her smile as she returned to her journal. "Bye Ponyboy."
