Chapter 4
Two days later
I was at the Curtis house looking after Pony. He had a little bit of a stomachache and he threw-up. I was here when he did. I had been staying here for a few days. I would take a nap with Pony and he didn't have a nightmare.
"Pony, do you want some soup," I asked him. He shook his head and I sighed. I wanted him to eat. He wouldn't eat though. I was going to make him have some was going to be home in ten minutes to take care of Pony. I was going to make him eat before Darry got home.
"Please, Pony," I said. He sighed and told me yes and I made him some soup. He ate a tiny bit of it and I was happy. He wouldn't eat since this morning and he looked hungry.
"Johnny, I want to go to sleep," he said.
"Okay I'll sit here with you," I said. He laid down and he fell asleep five minutes later. I sat there while he was sleeping. I was waiting for Darry to come home.
Five minutes later I heard the door open and close. I walked out of the room and went to go see Darry. He looked really tired when I saw him.
"Hey Johnny, how is Pony feeling," he asked me.
"He is tired. I suggest you sit with him while he sleeps," I said. He nodded and he went into the room that Pony was in.
"Did he eat," he asked me.
"I made him eat ten minutes ago," I said.
"Would he eat earlier," he asked.
"No, I tried to get him to eat, but he wouldn't," I said.
"At least you tried," he said smiling at me.
"Yeah, he is a good kid," I said. He nodded and I left the room. I wanted to let Darry take care of Pony. He and Pony don't really get along. Soda and Pony get along more. Pony can open up easier to Soda.
I know that it hurts Darry, but we know that he loves Pony. Pony loves him and he knows that Darry loved him.
Darry is parenting them and I know it is hard on him. He was supposed to go to college. Since his parents died eight months ago he has been working hard to keep them together. Soda works enough too.
I decided to leave the house and go find Dallas. I was going to hang out with him for a while. I think he was at Buck's.
I walked over to Buck's house and I found Dally he had gotten into a fight with Tim. He had a few bruised ribs and I could tell he had been drinking.
"Hey Johnnycake," he said when he saw me.
"Hey," I said. I didn't like Dally when he was drunk. Sometimes he would do a lot of stupid things. I wouldn't get caught up in the stuff he did.
"Let's get out of here," he said. We went over near the Dingo. We had a burger and fries. I was pretty hungry since I hadn't eaten since noon. While we were here I saw Kelly from the park.
"Johnny, is that you," she asked.
"Yeah," I said. She smiled at me.
"My sister missed your little friend today," she told me.
"He was sick. I was taking care of him, but his brother came home a little while ago," I said.
"Oh," I said.
"Johnny, who is she," Dallas asked me.
"Her name is Kelly," I said.
"Are you two dating," he asked.
"No," I said. She was blushing and I decided I wanted to leave before she got any ideas.
"Hey Johnny can we go on a date tomorrow," she asked.
"Alright I will meet you at 6:00 tomorrow," I said.
"Bye," she said and took off. Dallas was smiling and I was embarrassed. We left and went to the Curtis' house. I left there after a few hours and went home and went to bed.
