Chapter 8- New Friends, New Drugs
** Soda's P.O.V.**
I ran a little bit. I didn't want Darry to follow me. It was still morning, probably about 12:00. I didn't know where to go. I found myself at the nightly-double. Of course no one was really there, it was morning. But to my surprised Tim and his gang where there.
" Hey Curtis!" He yelled at me and motioned me over. I walked over. I noticed that all the guys were laughing,and they looked like they were crying.
" Why..are..you out here so early?" Tim asked while taking sips from his beer.
" Because I wanted to." I replied " What were you guys taking?" Tim looked like he was going to burst with laughter.
" Nothing!" he said, and within I couple of seconds, he did burst out laughing. I couldn't help but laugh with him. I thought that I could use some of it. They looked like they were having the time of there lives right now. If Darry found out that I took drugs, he'll kill me. But right now I wanted to make him mad.
" Do you got anymore?" I asked. Tim was still laughing and gave me a bag with pills. I forgot what this drug was called. I knew I seen it somewhere. I think it was called E.With a little hesitation I stuck my hand in the bag.After about a minute I came out with the pill in my hand. I looked at it long and hard. This will take the pain away, the pain I've been feeling for so long.. I swallowed the pill. I already felt a change of emotion. I liked it. I hanged out with Tim and Co. for the rest of the day. We were goofing off. Going into gas stations and messing around with some girls. Drank beer and smoked. I was having the time of my life. I took E again,near the end of the day. The other was sorta wearing off. We went to a movie around 9:00 at night. We didn't bother watching the movie though. We were making noise, throwing popcorn at eachother. Until a cop came and told us we had to leave. We started to mouth him. He was about to get back up and take us away in jail, but we ran away before he could. Steve would never do any of these things. He'll love it if he tried. It was getting pretty late. I don't remember much later than that. I do remember it being about 1:00 in the morning, and me passing out at my front porch.
** In the morning**
I had a terrible headache. I was in my bed. Some light was shining from the blinds of the window, it wasn't a lot of sun but still hurt my eyes when I looked at it. I looked at my alarm clock. 12:00 in the afternoon. I don't remember getting home. I putted my hands on my head. The room was spinning and I felt like I was going to barf. It took me at least an hour to finally get up. I walked in the kitchen. Two-Bit,Steve,Pony,and Darry were sitting at the table talking. They looked concerned. They were all staring at me the second I walked in. I went into the fridge getting some juice out, trying to ignore there looks. Darry got up and told me to sit down where he was sitting. I wasn't up for this crap this morning. I must have the flu or something. I sat down.
" Didn't I tell you and Pony you guys aren't allowed to take drugs while your leaving under my conditions? Didn't I Soda??" Darry said frustrated. Oh yeah, this isn't the flu. This is a hangover.
" I didn't." I was going to say I didn't do anything but Darry stopped me.
" DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T DO DRUGS,WHEN I FIND YOU ON OUR PORCH PASSED OUT AND I FOUND THIS IN YOUR POCKETS!!" Darry yelled and held up a bag with the E in it. Damn Tim, he must have put that in my pocket. I gulped my juice hard. Boy was I in trouble. Pony was looking at me, white as a sheet,and eyes wide open. I still heard Darry's loud voice in my head. I put my hands over my ears.
" Please stop yelling!" I mumbled.
" STOP YELLING!! GIVE ME A REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T BE YELLING SODAPOP PATRICK CURTIS!!! YOU LEFT THE HOUSE AFTER I TOLD YOU NOT TO!!! YOU'VE BEATED UP PONY!! YOU'VE BEEN GETTING INTROUBLE LATELY!!AND NOW YOU DID DRUGS!!! NOW TELL ME A DAMN REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T BE YELLING AT YOU!!!" My head was pounding too much. I felt something come up in my throat and ran to the bathroom. It was too late, and I ended up barfing in the bathtub.
" Darry." I pleaded,and ended up throwing up again. Darry kneeled down next to me and started to pat my back.
" Easy Soda,easy" he said in a calm voice. He gave me a bowl and towel and sended me to my room.
" When your feeling better, I want a full explanation got it?" Darry said to me. I didn't say anything but just shook my head.
