New York Babe: Yea. It would truly be horrible. Something like that kind of happened around here, only it was a little bit different. Thank-you again for the great compliment, I've wanted to be a writer forever, and fanfiction is just the best! I liked your excuses they were great!
Aaliyah-Charity: Thank-you for the compliment!! I greatly appreciate it!!
Angel02: I know! Turning down chocolate cake is not a good sign! Thanks for the review!!
Chapter 5:
Dally
Soda was really beginning to worry me, which is weird because I don't get worried easily. He hadn't moved from his spot on the floor in forever, and his glum depressed expression hadn't changed at all.
We were "watching" Mickey Mouse of course, (it was Two-Bit's turn to pick the show) when all of a sudden a special news bulletin came on.
The news caster guy began talking, "We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin. Robert Zanoff, who was the intoxicated driver of a semi that hit a vehicle, which killed two of the three teens, is going to be facing the Honourable Judge Khal tomorrow afternoon. The deceased, Sandra Jacks and Steve Randall, are shown here (they had two recent pictures on the screen)."
I heard Sodapop make a funny noise, and noticed that Darry had a comforting arm around him. I didn't really hear the rest of the broadcast because they kept the pictures on screen as they talked about them. I was more fascinated with studying their every feature.
Sandy had a tiny mole below and to the left of her china blue eyes. Her smile was sincere, and full of hope and longing. In this picture she had no idea that she wouldn't get to experience half of what she should.
Steve had on a crocked grin, which was completely normal. His eyes were laughing and taunting, daring the photographer to mock him.
They both looked too young to be gone. Gone. Their pictures faded away and I started to listen again.
"We now return to your regular scheduled programming." She said, and Mickey came back on.
I looked over at Soda again and saw that he was shaking. Rocking back and fourth.
Darry was trying to talk to him, but Soda wasn't listening.
"Well." Two-Bit said as he switched off the TV, I don't know about you guys, but I sure don't feel like Mickey anymore."
That's when I realized that Soda wasn't the only one acting strange. We all were.
I looked around the room amongst the faces of my friends:
Soda: a compete mess. I doubted he would ever be the same happy go- lucky guy he once was.
Darry: trying to be supportive of Soda, but the frustration with the situation was sketched clearly on his face. (As well as the deep concern for his second youngest brother).
Pony: him and Steve never really got along, but you could see how deeply and hard this had hit him. Probably he was mostly thinking about what would have happened if he had lost Soda.
Two-Bit: acting a little more like his usual self now, he was trying his hardest to make Soda crack a smile. He was still hurting, too, though.
Johnny: quiet as always, but even more withdrawn. He was lost deep in thought, as he tried to keep up conversation with Pony.
Then I looked in the mirror on the wall at my own reflection and thought:
Dally: in dyer need of a smoke.
Please keep up the great reviews!!!! You guys rock!! (Sorry it was kinda short!!)
