Chapter 5~ Heres chapter 5! Yay! I don't own anyone but Carly. Ok…oh yeah..this is still in Soda's POV!
Darry looked at me like I had commited a crime. I just looked at him a minute and then stormed off to mine and Pony's room. Slamming the door I flopped on the bed, waiting for something, anything to happen to make the day better. "Sodapop!" I didn't move. I knew Darry was calling for me but I didn't move. I just lay there like a bump on a log.
"Sodapop Patrick Curtis!" The door swung open and I looked at Darry. Oh goody, wasn't this going to make the day better! I rolled over on my stomach and didn't plan to listen to anything that he said. But he didn't say anything. All he did was come up to me and he pushed me over and then he hauled me up and dragged me into the living room.
"Darry! Let go of me!" I tried to wiggle out of his grip but it didn't work.
"Sit." He said that very stern like and motioned for me to sit down on the couch. I hesitated but then decided I would.
"Can we talk about this later?" I looked at him, hopeless. "Please." I didn't want to deal with anything right then.
"No." Just then Two-Bit and Pony walked in the door. I looked at them and grinned. I didn't think Darry would say anything to me in front of them. Maybe in front of Pony but not Two-Bit. "Consider yourself saved." He glared at me.
I jumped up. "Thanks Two-Bit!" He cocked his eyebrow as if to say "are you nuts?" I knew that Darry wasn't done with me but as far as I was concerned I was good for now, because Two-Bit wouldn't leave for a while. I glanced at Darry and he was still glaring at me.
"Guys, whats goin on?" Two-Bit wondered when he saw Darry's glare. Nobody answered. "Ok then, I'm just gonna go catch some action, may be get drunk. See ya!" He started to leave.
"No! Two-Bit you can't go! I..uh..I uh want to play poker and uh..Mickey Mouse is on!"I glanced at the T.V. and noticed that Mickey Mouse really was on and then I laughed to myself.
Two-Bit looked suspicious but said ok and flopped down on the couch. "Chocolate cake anyone?" I asked, going to the refrigerator and grabbing a whole cake. Two-Bit and Pony both took big slices. For about three or four hours we sat there watching T.V. and fooling around all the while Darry was looking at me like I was gonna run outta the house if he didn't.
"Ok, now I am gonna go get drunk! See ya tomorrow!" I didn't try to get Two-Bit to stay this time 'cause I figured eventually I was gonna hafta deal with Darry whether I wanted to or not. I waved bye to Two-Bit and then Pony went to bed. I tried to sneak in the bedroom unnoticed by Darry but it didn't work.
"Now we are gonna talk Soda." I groaned but sat down on the couch and put my feet up on the table. I might as well be comfortable while I'm getting chewed out.
"What?" I grumbled when he was staring at me.
"I don't want you to see Carly again. I don't want you to call her either." He looked at the floor and back to me. "That girl is trouble. She's Dallas's type. Not yours. And why the hell did you start doing that in public?"
"Darry!" I said frustrated again. "You can't stop me from seeing Carly! Or calling her. You don't even know her so how can you judge her? And omigod all we was doing was kissing."
"I don't care. You better listen to me Sodapop Curtis. If I catch you with her you will be in deep trouble."
"But…." Darry cut me off.
"No ifs,ands, or buts about it! You listen to me! And don't you back talk me!"
"Darry! I ain't back talkin you! Damnit!"
Darry just stood there for a minute and then said, "Whatever. Just don't see her or call her again." Then he didn't say anything for awhile so I went into mine and Pony's room and layed down next to Pony.
"Soda?" Ponyboy suddenly asked me.
"Yeah?"
"What are you and Darry fighting about?" He seemed concerned.
"Nothin. Don't worry about it. Go to sleep." He didn't say another word and in a couple of minutes I was greeted with the slow breaths of Ponyboy.
Darry couldn't stop me from seeing Carly. Somehow I would see her. I looked at the clock. It was ten minutes past midnight. After a while of just laying there not being able to sleep I snuck in the living room and saw that Darry was asleep.
I quickly picked up the phone and dialed Carly's number. "Carly?" I whispered into the phone.
"Hey, Sodapop?" She sounded surprised to hear from me and I remembered that it was after midnight.
"Yeah. Sorry for calling you so late. How 'bout I pick you up tomorrow at five and we can go to the Dingo and then for supper?"
"Ok." She said.
"Anyway, I gotta go. See ya. Bye." I hung up the phone. See, Darry couldn't stop me from seeing Carly.
