Chapter 15- Flashback & Crashing
** Darry's P.O.V. *** ** That morning, before his accident**
As I was about to walk out the door, ready to go to work. I looked at Soda. He was leaning back in the chair, still tied up. I hated seeing him there. He should be in his bed. I didn't know where his head was going to. I was already late so I had to leave him there for a couple more hours until Ponyboy wakes up. I backed out our driveway as fast as I could. I'm already 30 minutes late. I kept thinking about Sodapop. It scared me something awful seeing him all high last night. I thought I was going to bust. It brought back memories when I was 16.
** Flashback**
" Nice catch Darrel!" Paul yelled from across the field. Paul Holden was the only person Darry let call him Darrel.
" Not so bad yourself Holden!!" Darry yelled. Paul ran up to him.
" So, you coming to Tony's party tonight?" Paul asked them, while they started to walk home.
" I don't know man, I don't think my mom and dad will like it. They know Tony can get pretty wild" Paul looked hurt.
" Come on man, this party is going to be tough. You gotta come" Darry knew he couldn't let his best bud down.
" Alright, I'll come."
" Alright Darrel, that's great, see you there" Paul said while heading toward his street.
** later that night** still in the flashback.
" I didn't think you'll show" Tony said to Darry while he entered the house. Darry just shrugged. He say Paul talking to some of the other guys on the football team.
" Yo Darrel" Paul yelled and motioned him to come over. They started to talk about Friday's game. Everything was going great until some guy brought beer,and some pills. Everyone was either drinking or popping pills right infront of him. He found out that the pills were called ecstasy. Or as some people call it, E. His parents were strict about drugs, Darry knew he'll get introuble if he took them.
" Here you go Darry" Paul said while handing him the bag of E. Darry shook his head while trying to give it back.
" Come on Darry, it won't hurt, It makes you feel free, everyone is taking it. What'll it look like if you're the only one not stoned up?" Paul said while taking a sip of his beer. Darry knew it was a bad idea going. Everyone was staring at him, so he shakily took a pill out of the bag and popped it in his mouth. Darry felt different. Darry didn't remember anything that night. The next thing he remembered was being passed out in his front porch. Waking up with his dad yelling his head off. It took a lot to make Mr.Curtis yell. Darry felt sick,and scared. After being grounded for a month, Darry promised himself he would never take drugs again, never in his life.
** back in the car** ** Darry's POV**
I was thinking a lot at that time about my 16th. The good times, the bad. I didn't realize I passed a red light. The next thing I knew I saw a car coming right at me at my right. I heard glass break, the sound of metal clashing together. Then slowly everything went black.
A/N: What do you guys think? I thought I put some information about E in there. Just that it's really called Ecstasy. Please Review!!! I'm so happy right now, I just rented The Outsiders, I didn't see it in months!!LOL!!
