As the months went by it progressively got better. We helped Darrel by removing the glass from his back and making sure it didn't get infected. Of course we had to knock him unconscious first. We have him tied up in a chair in the basement. I figured it was an appropriate punishment for him since that's how he made me feel while he was abusing me. We feed him and give him water to drink and we give him a coke when he's behaving. "We're going to have to let him out of there one day, I hope you know that." Soda said. I had been thinking about that too.
"Yeah, I know. Maybe, next year." I said.
"Why, next year?" he asks me. I smile.
"Because next year you'll officially be an adult and we won't need Darrel anymore." Soda smiled at that.
We pull our own weight now. I dropped out of school and got a job at the library, I truly do love my new job. I get a free library card so I can get as many books as I want. I don't have to stop learning which was one of Soda's concerns. I could check out Math, History, English textbooks all the time! It's the perfect job for me. Maybe I will get that college scholarship. We told Two-Bit and Steve, and they back up our decision about Darry. It's sad though, because in a way we lost another greaser. Johnny's folks are moving too. So there's a chance that if someone moves in across the street we will get a new member. Soda had to get another job as a car repairman's assistant. We all know that Soda's qualified. Things are finally starting to look up around here.
When the social workers come we hold a knife to Darry, and make him talk for us. He didn't believe that we would do it at first, so I had to nick him. That was very hard for some reason. He caused me a lot of physical pain, yet I couldn't do the same to him. He does as we say now though. Soda and I agree that we are safe. Although the evil Darry is downstairs and there is possibly a way for him to escape. We hope that he will drop his abusive ways and come to love us again. We don't need him though. Because me and Soda have each other.
Alright guys this is it. The last chapter. This is Why I Hate YOU, Darry!, is officially over. I just can't thank you guys enough for reading and supporting my story. I love all of you so much. Do not fret, I will be back. I wrote an Outsiders fanfic before so that will probably make it's way onto here too. Also maybe a neighbor will come to Ponyboy and Sodapop's neighborhood. (It's official BTW it's called The New Outsider so check it out!) You just never know. :P Again I can't thank you guys enough for the support. I think the time is right for this. Stay Golden. :) :) :) :) :) :)
