~Chapter 31~ Yay! Hurray for chapter 31..or not! I'm just gonna get to the story becuz people are probably tired of listening to me ramble. You know who I own. Oh yeah, just so it doesn't get confusing I'm skipping to the morning instead of doing everyone's POV while its night where they'd be asleep!
****Ponyboy's POV**** Wow..someone elses POV!
I rolled over and yawned. "Hey! What?" I said loud when I saw that the person sleeping next to me wasn't Soda. It was a cute blonde headed girl. I was a little afraid of her, especially since she looked Socy, so I got out of bed quietly and went into the kitchen. Darry was making breakfast as usual. Soda was sitting at the table drinking chocolate milk, Steve was telling Darry that he better hurry up with breakfast or they would be late for work, Two-Bit was sitting on the couch watching Mickey Mouse and complaining about me taking so long to get up, and Johnny was sitting there silently watching Mickey Mouse and Dally was no where. Probably because he was still mad at Soda. I glanced over to the seat where I usually sat at for breakfast but Riley had my spot.
"Hey, guys, " I said still a little shocked about the girl being in my bed and about what Darry would say if she wasn't supposed to be there. He'd probably think I was doing something with her. "there's some cute blonde in my bed. Why is she there?" Soda turned and winked at Darry and Riley. I didn't know why he would wink at them like that but whatever.
"What the hell do you mean there's a blonde girl in your bed?" Darry bellowed. Uh oh. I was in trouble.
"Go look if you don't believe me! I swear. And I don't know what she's doing there!"
"Sure Pony, we believe you!" It was Riley.
Soda grinned. "So how was she?" Darry was starting to look really pissed off. I shook my head.
"I swear I don't know why she's there."
"Didya get her drunk first, or did she willingly sleep with you!" I heard Two-Bit's voice.
"Shut it Two-Bit! You're gonna get me in trouble! I honestly don't know why she's there!"
"Oh relax," Soda grinned and punched me playfully. "we're just all havin fun. The girl is Daphne, Riley's little sister." I nodded my head.
"That brings me to another question." I usually wasn't so rude but waking up to a girl like that had taken an affect on me. "Why is Riley and her sister even here?"
"Because," Soda grabbed Riley by the waist, "she's my baby." Riley smiled.
"So whats for breakfast now that Soda so thoughtfully ruined our appetites." Darry looked at me.
"When did you get so mouthy Pony!?" I ignored that. "What do we always have for breakfast? Cake. We're having cake and eggs.Yup. Now I gotta get to work in 15 minutes so you guys better hurry up and eat and be ready by the time I leave otherwise I won't drive you to school Pony, Johnny, Two-Bit, Steve, and Soda I won't drive you to work."
"Yes sir, I mean yes Daddy!" Two-Bit looked at Darry and laughed as he put eggs down on the table and got the cake out of the ice box.
"I'm not eating cake and eggs for breakfast you guys, I'm going to leave. Can Daphne stay here for the day? She can stay alone, she'll probably sleep most of the day." It was Riley.
"Of course. We should have all known that the little Soc wouldn't want to eat with us greasers!" It was Two-Bit..again.
"No, I just don't like cake and eggs for breakfast!" Riley stood up. "So I'll see y'all later. I'm gonna take a little visit to the Merril Estate." Nobody tried to stop her eventhough I could see the look in Soda's eyes. He was afraid. Afraid that she would get hurt.
"Don't worry Soda." I shoved a piece of cake in my mouth. "She's a smart girl she won't get hurt."
"I hope not." Soda sighed. "Maybe I should go over there with her." Darry shook his head.
"We need the money Soda. You can't take off work."
"Yeah, guess I wouldn't be much help anyways," Soda said and pointed at his ribs.
"Uh…where's my sister?" I looked down the hallway and the blonde headed girl, Daphne, was standing there in a pair of flannel pajamas that I recognized to be Soda's. They were big on her, but I guess she would have rather slept in the pajamas then in her clothes that she had had on.
"Hey! Do you like Mickey Mouse?" Two-Bit yelled from the couch where he was dropping cake crumbs everywhere.
"Riley went for a walk." It was Darry. "Want some cake? Eggs?" She sat down in the chair next to me and took herself a piece of cake.
"Thanks," she yawned tiredly. Boy was she cute. To me she didn't look anything like Riley. Riley seemed more, more troubled and like she worried about stuff to much, and Daphne just looked so innocent. Then again if I was Riley I reckon I'd look worried too, with all that has happened to her.
"Hey Daphne, do you go to school?" I wondered. I know that was a dumb question because the obvious answer was yes, but that was the only thing I could think of to say to her.
"Yes I do." She said this quietly like she was afraid of us. That was it. She was afraid of us. To her we were just a couple of greasers and she was a Soc. She wasn't like Riley. Riley didn't care if you were a Soc, or a greaser. As long as you were nice and friendly she didn't care. But her sister seemed different.
