This is a terrible story. My suggetion would be to write it out and then post, that way your story will have a direction and you wont be blocked by chapter 2...and then have to resort to that nonsense on chapter 3...oh, and get a beta if you decide to continue, which I wouldnt advice.

Answer- Well you can't please everyone. I'm glad you told me that you don't like it but maybe you could say it nicer? It's more fun if you get ideas and everything so that's why I don't type it all out and it gives me something to do. And umm. Chapter 3 wasn't nonsense, it does relate and I did put that. I will continue because many more people like it and I'm not stopping just because one person can't deal with it. Thank you.

That may be the best self blame chapter with Ponyboy I have ever read. Most of them don't put much cruelty into the voice that's blaming him. That's what makes them kinda boring. But, you put just the right amount. :-) Congrats

Answer- That is a big thing for me, thank you thank you it means alot I was afraid I put in too much cruelty xD.

Now onto the story.


~Sodapop POV~

I groaned. Something kicked me in the stomach. Or was it someone? Yep it was a person alright. I opened my eyes , rubbing the sleep out to find my baby brother tharshing around like someone was trying to strangle him. Maybe in his mind someone was. I sat up realizing I was just staring and leaned over Pony.

"DARRY!"I yelled as loud as I could without waking anyone else up , if anyone stayed,which is more than likely. I began stroking my thumb across Ponys forehead, it always seemed to help him. Darry stumbled in mumbling something about being woke up until he noticed me trying to pin Pony down and failing. He grabbed a washcloth from the bathroom , soaking it in water as I whispered soothing words such as "It's okay sweetie." "Come one honey." "No one can hurt you now baby." all in Pony's ear, he did relax...a little. Darry sighed as nothing we did would get Pony awake , so as a last resort, Darry ringed out the water onto Pony's face as he woke with a start his eyes as wide as golf balls!

"You okay honey? You scared us, real bad." I sat him on my lap like I always did when he had nightmares. "Golly Darry he's shaking like it's -100 degress in here!" He was though. It made my own arms shake too. Pony moaned lightly and placed his head back onto my shoulder as Darry came back with a thermometer.

"Come on Little Buddy , let me take your temperature and then you can go back to sleep okay? It's only 2:43 in the morning. Come on now." Darry tried to coax the thermometer under Pony's tounge but Pony just wouldn't have it. I guess it was my turn to try.

"Hun, do you want me to take your temperature?" He shook his head as he groaned and slowly opened his eyes like he wanted to tell us something.

"Guys..I think I'm gonna be si-" Before he even finished that sentence he was halfway to the bathroom, I was rather shocked he could still run. I froze.I looked up at Darry and did a double take. Darry had so much panic in his eyes, almost as much as I did, and I panic about Pony alot, but he's a strong boy, nothing can keep him down. For now. There was the noise of one liquid hitting another liquid coming from the bathroom. Realizing what was going on I followed Darry , whom had already gone , into the bathroom to see Pony hunched over the toilet dry heaving with Darry rubbing his back in circles.

"Sodapop can you get some water for Pony please? And a towel. Thanks." I nodded and left the room, I wasn't all there, Pony said he was fine, and when he says he's fine he's usually fine! Oh God what has he gotten himself into. I hope it's nothing serious and all. I couldn't cope with him gone. I grabbed a towel and a glass of water noticing JohnnyCake was laying on the sofa sleeping , well I think he was sleeping. I sighed and walked back into the bathroom handing Darry the things and kealing beside Pony.

He looked awful. He was as pale as a sheet, circles under his eyes and his face was twisted in pain. I hated seeing him like this. Everyone did. Even Steve, he's my best bud and all but he can be a little too mean to Pony, saying he's just a tag - along and all. I shook my head and moved a strand of hair from Pony's face.

~Darry's POV~

"DARRY!" God that Soda's gonna wake the whole bloody neighborhood! I growled as I stood rubbing my eyes and walking towards my two younger brother's room , he better not have brought one of the gang back drunk so they puke everywhere, I love the gang and all but it's hard to clean. I began mumbling and complaining but soon stopped when I saw what was really going on.

Pony was gasping and jumping around like a fish out of water while Soda tried to pin him down. I ran to the bathroom to grab a washcloth and soaking it in cold water, I really hope I didn't have to use this. I walked, well stumbled back into the room and sighed, Pony refused to wake up. Look's like the last resort is needed, Soda gave me a worried look , he always hated it when I had to do this but I had to, I looked back to Pony and scrunched up the washcloth , the cold water pouring off like a mini waterfall straight onto Pony's face as his eyes opened , I let out a sigh of relief, we had him back with us again.

"You okay honey? You scared us, real bad." Soda ,straight of the bat , picked Pony up like he was 4 and placed him on his lap. No matter how much I didn't like Soda treating Pony like he was 4 I made an exception as it did help. "Golly Darry he's shaking like it's -100 degress in here!" He wasn't lying, Pony was shaking like a tree in a tornado. I went back into the bathroom and reached up onto the higher shelf and grabbed the box with the thermometer. It was new. I walked back in and keeled infront of Pony who was now resting his head on Soda's shoulder.

"Come on Little Buddy , let me take your temperature and then you can go back to sleep okay? It's only 2:43 in the morning. Come on now." I tried to coax the thermometer under Pony's tounge but he would just turn his head away.

"Hun, do you want me to take your temperature?" Soda looked at me and back at Pony but Pony just shook his head and let out a groan as he slowly began to open his eyes.

"Guys..I think I'm gonna be si-" Pony stopped mid-sentence as he lept up and ran to the bathroom with me hot on his heels. He skidded onto the ground just in front of the toliet as I finished the sentence for him.

"Sick." I walked over to him and placed my hand gently on his back and rubbed circles clockwise around as he emptied his already almost empty stomach contents into the toilet and waited till he finished as Soda walked in. "Sodapop can you get some water for Pony please? And a towel. Thanks." I didn't wait for an answer as he nodded and walked out the room as I tried to comfort my sick kid brother as much as I could. I was never good in situations like this, ever. I sighed deeply inward, where was Soda? He shouldn't be this long, just before I was gonna call him he walked in looking rather dazed to me but still brought me the cup and washcloth and knealed beside Pony as I placed them on the floor beside of me winicing as Pony groaned and began dry heaving.

~PonyBoy POV~

I gasped as a cold liquid hit me right in the middle of my face, my eyes burst open to see Soda and Darry both looking worried but guilty, I glanced at Darry's hand to see a damp washcloth, of course he would do that, he hated me like the voice said. There was a silence for a few moments before Soda decided to break it.

"You okay honey? You scared us, real bad." He placed me on his lap like he always did after nightmares. It made me feel much safer. You think Soda really cares? No. The voice made me shiver and it didn't seem to stop. . "Golly Darry he's shaking like it's -100 degress in here!" I was shaking that much? Didn't feel like it, I watched as Darry left to the bathroom and I let out a gentle moan as I closed my eyes and leaned my head on Soda's shoulders. You cause Darry and Soda so much pain. Do you really think Darry wants you there? He doesn't he wants you gone, in a boys home, out of his life, he's always hated you, always. You think Soda really cares? No. He also wants you gone, you bring such a large burden to them both and you don't care, you only care about yourself!

"Come on Little Buddy , let me take your temperature and then you can go back to sleep okay? It's only 2:43 in the morning. Come on now." I felt Darry trying to place the thermometer under my tounge, why was he trying to help me? The voice said he hated me , so why was he helping? It didn't make any sense.

"Hun, do you want me to take your temperature?" Soda spoke rather gentle but I knew he was only acting, he didn't want me there. No one did. Hated. Gone. Burden. Those words burned deeper and deeper into my head just as my stomach gave a violent jump. I felt sick. I let out a groan and began to open my eyes.

"Guys..I think I'm gonna be si-" I couldn't keep talking, I was gonna be sick. I jumped up and ran to the bathroom as fast as I could, I felt so weak though. I fell right infront of the toilet and emptied my stomach. There was hardly anything in there to empty anyway, just some egg and toast from last night but it just wouldn't stop. It tasted horrible! I hate this . I hate it . I hate it so much. A gentle hand appeared on my back . Who's hand was that? The hand began rubbing clockwise circles around my back, Darry. Soda does it anti-clockwise, Darry does it clockwise. There was some mumbling which sounded like Darry asking Soda to do something then I finally stopped being sick but I didn't move. I felt too weak to. There was a clunk of a glass and my stomach felt like it had been punched and I began dry heaving . Dry heaving was worse then actually being sick, it hurt my throat too much. When it all stopped and I was sure of it I sat up a little too fast and my head began to pound. I couldn't hear anything, it was all whispers to me. A rough towel wiped my across my mouth cleaning be free of all pieces of sick off my face and not too soon later a cold glass hit my lips and water clashed against them and I gladly too the water into my mouth. I kept a little in there and swirled it around before spitting it into the toilet, that got rid of the puke taste. I swallowed more water as a huge wave of sleep washed over me.

I began to fall back slightly as strong arms linked under mine and lifted me to my feet, I stood for 2 seconds before falling back again. There was a sigh as one arm went under my back and another under my knees and picked me up. I was so tired that I didn't remember closing my eyes.


Okay so that's that x3. I hope I did good this time and it was longer. X3 . Sorry I took so long to update I was thinking of what to do to make it longer so I decided to do it in the all three brothers POV . I hope it didn't drag on too much x3. Please review. Thankies. Baiii.
