Epilogue

** Ponyboy's POV **

" Sodapop and Ponyboy wake up!! We're going to be late!!" I heard Darry yell while pounding the door. Sodapop was sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing his eyes,

" Morning" Sodapop said.

" Morning" I said yawning. I was still tired, I should have went to sleep when Darry told me to but I was really into a book and couldn't put it down. I ended up going to sleep around 11.

" Didn't get much sleep uh?" It was like he was reading my mind. I nodded while yawning again. Sodapop messed up my hair while walking into the bathroom. I walked out to the living room. Two-Bit and Steve were already here.

" Morning sleepy head" Two-Bit said while stuffing a piece of cake in his mouth. I rolled my eyes and laughed. I took Steve's cup of juice when he wasn't looking.

" Hey!!" Steve yelled while looking for his juice noticing it was gone. His eyes locked on me. I spitted out the juice in my mouth cracking up. Steve began to chase me around. This was something new. Steve rarely paid attention to me. And he was actually laughing. Lucky him, I tripped and he had me.

" Who said you can have my drink?" He said laughing. We startled to wrestle. He had me in a head lock.

" Uncle!" He yelled.

" No!" Just then Darry had Steve hauled up by his DX shirt.

" Guys calm down!! It's only the morning and you guys are already killing eachother" Darry joked. I laughed while Steve got off of me. Sodapop walked out of the bathroom.

" Hey Sodapop" Steve said while walking into the kitchen getting anther glass of juice.

" Morning everyone" Sodapop replied. He looked at me.

" You better get dress kid, we are already late" He said with a smile that makes you want to smile back. Sodapop can get anyone to smile. " Yes sir" I hopped into the bathroom. Sodapop made a mess like usually. Clothes everywhere, shaving cream all over the sink. I sighed. Sodapop can never keep the bathroom clean. While I was trying to pick up some things I heard a voice that made me jump.

" What are you doing Ponyboy?" Soda was standing in the door way shaking his head and smiling.

" Someone can't keep the bathroom clean. Can you guess who?" Sodapop rubbed his chin.

" Um let's see, is it Darry? No Darry isn't messy. Is it Two-Bit?" I threw a dirty shirt at him. He laughed and threw it back.

" You better hurry honey or Darry will be pissed at us cause we are gonna be really late" Sodapop said.

" Hey! I heard that!" We could hear Darry call from the kitchen. I laughed. It felt great to laugh. I don't remember laughing a lot in the past couple of months. It's been about 3 weeks since the change of Sodapop and him coming back. He was his old self again. The crazy wild reckless Sodapop that everyone loved. I felt has if Soda and I are closer now. He just got off his punishment with Darry a couple of days ago. Sodapop was out of the house every chance he gets now. He says he doesn't want to get introuble anymore and I'm pretty sure he meant it. Darry took Sodapop to some counserloring for Sodapop using drugs. Darry had to be sure that Sodapop wouldn't use ecstasy anymore. Sodapop hasn't took anymore since. He says he is never gonna take it again after he heard the story about Darry first using drugs. Dar told me the story too cause he didn't want me using drugs anytime in the future. I'm not. I saw what it can do to you, and I don't want to end up like that in anyway. It nearly killed me to see Sodapop like that. Darry managed to get a new car. Some insurance people helped him pay for anther one and the guy who Darry got in the crash with. It seemed that the guy thought it was his fault that he crashed into Darry.

" Pony come on!" Darry yelled.

" Coming Dar!" I yelled while putting on my shoes.

I still miss Johnny and Dally. I think about them everyday. I finally was able to finish Gone With The Wind yesterday. I thought maybe if I finished it, I wouldn't feel so sad. I ended up crying after the last chapter. I missed Johnny so much,and sometimes when I read the book I felt as if I was back at the old church. Getting sick of a smoke and eating bolone sandwiches.

" I miss you Johnny...." I said while staring at Gone With The Wind on the table. I felt a tear go down my cheek.

" Ponyboy are you alright?" Sodapop asked me, he was staring in the doorway. I brushed the tear away.

" I'm fine, just thinking I guess" I said still staring at the book.

" About Johnny?"

" Yeah" Sodapop walked to the bed and sat down next to me.

" We all miss him honey. And Dally. He will always be with us, you got to remember that. We will always know him as the quiet little dark hair kid that was everyone's little brother......and a hero." Sodapop said smiling. I looked back at my older brother and smiled back.

" I love you Sodapop" I said and gave him a hug. Everything is going to be ok.....everything is going to be fine. Sodapop was right, Change can be a good thing and change can be a bad thing. When Sodapop changed into a cold mean person that was bad. But he changed back,and everything felt the back to normal. That was good.
