Note- You know the drill, I don't own nothing! I only have the thoughts in
my head and the dreams in my heart (hehe, romantic!)
It was Monday but I wasn't going to school. I didn't really feel like it this morning. Besides, there was a party I wanted to go to later. But even if I wasn't- I still was going to drive Pony to school. I don't know why but I suddenly had the urge to drive him. I don't what to call it.. E.S.P? Intuition? Fatherly instinct? Well, I got up, dressed and headed over to the Curtis's. Besides- they had better breakfast then I had here, which was nothing. I knew they Darry probably made the cake; he's been doing EVERYTHING lately. I personally liked it when Soda made it- it was sweeter.
When I got there I was surprised to see everyone was there and ready to do something. All Pony had to do was eat- usually the house is in chaos. Soda's looking for clothes, Steve's looking for fun, Darry's looking for keys and Pony's just looking. Well, everyone was ready so I ran in and plopped into the couch between Steve and Soda.
"Hey everyone? Hows my favorite bunch of punks?" Soda nodded a greeting. Darry said his usual oks and somehow Steve got mad at me for calling him a punk. Go figure. Pony was just walking in with a slice of chocolate cake, "Pon- you wanna get me some?" he went back into the kitchen and came out with two slices. "Why don't you get it yourself, lazy?" Darry said for Pony. I laughed but no one else did. No one ever did. "Aaaa, Pony don't mind, do you kid?" he just stared at us. He wasn't going to answer- obviously. I ate my cake in silence, stealing a few sips of whoever's beer was on the table, till Pony finally stood up. He swallowed and to our surprise- he spoke. "We.better.....go" he said slowly. We all stared at him; he blushed and headed out the door, grabbing his back-pack on the way. I knew he was right so I said bye and headed out to drive him.
Once in the car- it was like someone magically turned on his speak button. I forgot he had one. I listened; I might never here his voice this much again. "Two-Bit, I don't get it, I just don't. Maybe Im going crazy but I can't take any of this any longer. You know that town up by the church was there, Im scared I might just run there. Theres just too much stuff here- Im going crazy! I don't understand myself!" He said, suddenly crying so hard he was shaking- I quickly pulled the car over and held him- he sobbed like a baby, I couldn't blame him. "I love you guys so much, I love Soda and Darry and everyone but I don't think I can take this anymore!" he sobbed, words drowned by tears and deep breathes. The waterfall was coming out. "Shhhhh, shhhhh, its okay kid, everything's fine, Two-Bit will fix everything, Im here. Im right here with you" I had no idea where that all came from. I sort of startled myself. He finally stopped crying and apologized for crying... Then started to cry again. After the second time he stopped he simply said he was going to be late. I drove him to school and he got of the car just in time to here the bell, he started to run to class, but then turned around and scrame to me "Two-Bit, tell Darry and Soda I love them?" I nodded. "Promise?!?" he re- questioned. I nodded again and he ran off, I watched until he turned the corner and I couldn't see him anymore. I didn't know why he wanted me to tell them that but I figured I had too. I knew he was going to break soon, I suppose he just couldn't hold it in anymore, he broke. I felt proud of myself for being there with him. I ran a figure down one of my long sideburns and cocked an eyebrow at the place he stood, and then left. I had some thinking to do myself- little did I know what lay ahead..
