enlighten me about this worm thing. anyway all disclaimers apply.and this
chapter focuses a lot on Soda. cuz each of the guys is gunna play a part in
the main thing that's gunna happen so each will kind of get a chapter.hard
to explain without giving away the plot so yeah anyways here it is.
The guys came back into the room sometime later that night when it was pitch black. They all kicked off their shoes or attempted it. Finally Steve switched on a small lamp so that they could see.
"Turn it off you'll wake---" Soda started whispering but stopped himself quickly when he saw his two brothers. They were in the same bed. Pony was pushed right up to Darry and Darry had his arms around him. They were dead to the world.
Soda kicked off his shoes and followed the other two to the beds after shutting off the lamp. He took the bed Darry had been using and immediately climbed in. He was so happy that they were finally close again. But still when he rolled over and threw his arm and hit the bed he felt something inside him.
He was instantly reminded of the week when Pony was in Windrixville. The whole week he had felt the emptiness inside himself when Pony was missing.
Sure he was happy that Darry and Pony were bonding but he couldn't help but feel a slight feeling of jealousy. Everyone had their place. Darry was the authority figure and superman. Pony was the baby of the family and the smart one. Soda was the one that understood everyone and could comfort them. He was supposed to be the one that comforted Pony and held him.
That's when he realized not only did Pony need him to comfort him. It was a comfort to Soda to have Pony in his arms. He sighed and remembered it was only for one night and rolled over.
After a few more days of this Soda began to wonder if Darry would take his place. He knew it was stupid but he couldn't help it.
He had just gotten out of the shower and was getting ready. He could hear Darry and Pony's voices. Two-bit and Steve must have gone to eat or something.
"What is that that you're always writing in Pon???" Darry asked. There was no reply.
He wouldn't tell anyone what was in there Soda thought. He had asked Pony many times himself but he didn't ever tell.
Then Soda heard an answer from Pony. "It's just a journal. I write everything that happens to me in it. That's how my theme was so easy because I pretty much have my whole life in here anyway. It just I love to write and it helps me feel better about things."
The two of them went on talking. Soda was hurt. Pony wouldn't even tell him what was in there let alone talk about it. He took a deep breath and walked out of the room. His two brothers immediately looked up at him.
"Hey Soda."
He just nodded. "Listen Pon, do you wanna come with me and goof off on the bunny slope with me for a while today???"
Pony looked at Darry and then to Soda. "Maybe later but I'm gunna go with Darry for a while first k???"
Darry saw the hurt look in Soda's eyes and reacted immediately. "Pon, why don't you go get something to eat with Steve and Two-bit k???"
"But." Darry shot him a look and Pony obeyingly left for the dining hall, already dressed and ready.
Once he was sure Pony was gone Darry looked up at Soda. "What's wrong???"
"Nothing." Soda said casually.
"Soda, I can tell something's wrong.what is it???"
"Nothings wrong Darry. I just don't like getting replaced."
Darry looked up dumfounded. "What are you--- is that what you think???"
"What would you think??? You know at first I was happy that you guys were bonding but I now realize I'm being pushed right out of the picture."
"Soda." Darry started and put a hand on his brother's shoulder. "He just likes to ski, that's it."
Soda shook the hand off his shoulder. "Just skiing huh??? Who does he turn to when he's having nightmares??? Who does he spend all of his time with??? Who did he tell what he writes??? Doesn't sound like just skiing to me."
"Calm down little buddy. I never knew you felt that way. Today's our last day here. After this he'll be right back to you. But I'll get him to go with you today. He can come with me later if he wants."
"I don't need you to make him come with me just forget it Darry." Soda said.
Pony had been in the hallway the whole time listening. He felt so bad that Soda felt that way. He quickly went to the dining hall.
When Steve, Two-bit, and Pony came back to the room Pony immediately went over to Soda. "Soda, I thought about it and I really want to go with you today." Soda shot Darry a look but realized that Darry couldn't have talked to him yet.
"Okie Pon,,,.,,, you ready."
"Yeah.anybody else wanna come???"
Steve nodded. "Yeah I was planning on it before so I guess."
Two-bit and Darry both shook their head no. Darry first explained. "I'm gunna eat first and then maybe I'll head out or else I'll go on the other hill."
Two-bit spoke up next. "I have to meet this blonde in the lobby. But I'll catch you later."
So Soda, Steve, and Pony left and started a day, which would result in a turn of events that none of them wanted.
