Darry's POV
I cant believe I didn't see how sick he was. I have had so much on my mind lately. I know this is not a good excuse. I just cant lose him. He has so much potential, he can do so much with his life and have a better life then I provided for him. the SS cant take him, He has been through too much be be taken from us and everything he knows. I really don't want him coming tomorrow but I also don't want him to feel left out. He is the youngest one of us and is the one who keeps us all together. he is the one that reminds us that we are family. I know everyone acts like he is a pain but I know they all love him. I cant have him go tonight I will just have to lie and say he looks worse to me even if he looks better.
I just hope he will not resent me for too long. I know he is still mad at me for yelling at him and hitting him. I cant believe I did that if I never did that then things would of been different. Johnny will most likely still be dead because of the Socs. But Pony will not be sick. and he will not be so depressed. I have to do something to make it up to him. I know how much he likes those movies. I could go to one with him. I will let him pick any movie he wants. I need to start trying harder, spend more time with him. If all that has happened is not a sign then I dont know what is.
"are you ok?" Pony asked
"what oh yeah just thinking"
"about what?"
"Nothing much"
"Oh ok if you say so. is there any cake left?"
"yeah just save enough for soda pop" i told him
"ok"
I look Pony over. his eyes were glossy, nose red, and was pale.
"Pony i want you in bed after you finish eating"
"why i feel fine"
"Don't lie to me Im not blind"
"please no Im ok I have to go tonight."
"No Im sorry I told you if you look any worse then you were not going"
"But.."
"no but mister now up to bed with you.
sorry for the wait but with only one or two fans it is not on the top of my list. then next one will be longer though I promise
