Sorrow
Chapter 1 ~ Thoughts

Sodapop Curtis was depressed. Even after he had made up with Darry and Pony there was still an empty place in his heart they could never fill.

It all started when his parents died in a car accident. That was the same tugging at his heartstrings. The sorrowful yearning for something that had once been and oculd never happen again. Sodapop's heart was broken. And he knew exactly why he was feeling this way but he was trying to ignore it.

Why did that stupid woman have to run away down to Sarasota anyway? Sandy had broken his heart. She said she loved him and he loved her too! But then she left without so much as saying goodbye. Just a little letter in their mailbox saying that their relationship would never work and that she was moving to Sarasota Florida to live with her grandmother.

But she was wrong! Soda knew that they had something. They loved each other, for god's sake! Wasn't that enough? But he supposed it wasn't. People who said money made the world go around were right. It was all because he was poor, because he dropped out of school to work at a gas station, because he didn't live on the right side of town! Sandy was just some stupid Soc!

Thinking this made Soda angry and anger was good because it took his mind off the hurt that he was feeling. He would fall into a rage of white hot anger. He just wanted to tear everything to shreds and pound the walls down! But after his madness subsided he still felt the same hurt and even though he was ashamed to admit it; he wanted her, he needed her, and he was still very much in love with Sandy.

Please R/R! I know it doesn't have much plot right now but if I get positive reviews I'll add the next few chapters where Soda takes matters into his own hands!
