Chapter 4- Standing Up.?
** Pony's P.O.V**
I feel asleep for awhile. When I got up Soda,Steve,and Two-Bit were playing cards. Soda just gave me a glance.
" Where's Darry?" I asked Two-bit.
" Work" He said not looking up from his cards. I wondered why nobody woke me up for dinner. I went in the kitchen and found some left over chicken. I didn't feel that hungry. I just grabbed an apple. I sat on the sofa, watching them play cards. It looked like Two-Bit was winning. Just as Two- Bit was gonna put down a ace, and beat them again there was a knock on the door. Soda jumped up from the ground and made his way to the door.
" Hey Man, you ready to go?" We heard an unfamiliar voice at the door.
" You bet man, hold on though" Soda said back. Soda went into our room. After a couple of min. he came back with a jacket on and his shoes.
" Guys I'm going out for a couple of min. If I'm late, don't bother waiting up for me" Soda said making his way through the door.
" Um, Soda?" Two-Bit called. Soda looked back. " Do you mind telling us where your going, who is that, and I thought your grounded?" Soda rolled his eyes.
" I'm going somewhere, I'm going with J.T. from Shepard's gang, and yes I'm grounded, but Darry won't know" Soda said coolly as possible. Steve, Two- Bit, and Me were staring at eachother. Why would Soda be hanging out with the Shepard Gang?
" You can't go out!! If you go, I'll tell Darry!" I yelled, I couldn't take this anymore, I wanted my brother back. Soda narrowed his eyes. I gulped.
" No your not " Soda said in the voice that sent a chill in my body.
" Yes I'am, and there's nothing you can do to stop me" I said, I was trying to challenged him.
" Ok, you want to be grounded for another 2 weeks?"
" I don't care" I said " and besides, I'll have Steve and Two-Bit to back me up." I added. Steve and Two-Bit's expression was with confusion and scareness. Soda stared at me long and hard for a couple of minutes.
" J.T., I can't come, maybe I'll see you later " Soda said, still staring at me.
" Yeah man, ok" T.J. said, he was still standing outside. There was a chill outside, and Steve got up and closed the door. Soda was still staring at me. I couldn't believe I said that to him.
" Go to bed Ponyboy" Soda finally said. I didn't think twice, I walked to my room, and closed the door quietly. I could hear Two-Bit and Steve talking.
" Soda, wants wrong with you?" Steve asked.
" Nothing is wrong Steve ok!!" Soda said annoyed.
" Yeah, well I knew you ever since grade school, and you never have acted that way toward Pony, or even disobey Darry on purpose."
" Steve I'm fine!! Maybe I'm just sick and tired of being the nice one ok!! Just leave me alone!!" Soda yelled. I heard footsteps coming to my room. I fell off the bed on purpose, and hid under it. Not even before 4 seconds, I saw Soda's feet enter the room. I was breathing hard, my heart was pounding crazy. It was quiet for awhile, I could only hear the sound of my breathing.
" Ponyboy where are you?" Soda said. I stayed quiet. He paused. " Get out from under the bed..NOW!!" I struggled to get out from under the bed. I got up, me and Soda we're standing right next to eachother. Staring into eachothers eyes. I felt like smacking him. I wanted the real Soda back. He looked like he was going to beat the tar out of me. I gulped hard.
" I'm sorry Soda" I said, I don't know why I said it, I just thought maybe being nice to Soda will help a bit. He didn't change his expression.
" Things are gonna change Pony. And that's not going to be so good for you" He said, and then walked into the bathroom. I sat on the edge of my bed. Dizzy, feeling like I was going to pass out any second. " I think it's too late to get Soda back" I thought.
** Later that night***
" Hey Johnny, you want to play poker?" I asked
" Yeah Pony sure" I got the cards and we sat at the table. We were playing cards, having a good time, but I then smelled something strong, I think it was smoke.
" Do you smell that Johnny?" I asked, looking around. Johnny started to scream in rage. I looked over quickly, he was on fire!!
" Johnny!!!" I yelled. I tried to get up, but felt a force hold me down. I then noticed what was holding me down, it was Soda. Laughing.
" Soda let go!!" I tried to yell, but this time nothing came out of my voice. I was watching Johnny die right infront of my eyes, and Soda was holding me down, laughing his evil laugh, making me watch this.
I woke up screaming in terror. It was wet everyone where from my sweat. I could hardly breath. I sure woke up Soda, he stared at me. Tired and confused. I stared at him. I broke down crying. I don't think he noticed, my face was full of droplets already.
" Pony." Soda said. I cried harder. I feel asleep crying and scared.
