Chapter 11 Quick Stroll
Sorry guys I know you had to wait awhile for this and I apologize. I've just been busy. Anyway you know the drill. None of these characters belong to me. They all come from S.E. Hinton
Soda had long ago gone to sleep and I could hear him snoring. I was still sitting here on the bed though. I got up and walked out of my room. I could hear Darry's breathing in his room. I walked into the tv room and saw Steve asleep on the couch. Him and his old man must have had another fight. I continued walking right out the door. I walked strait on through the night. As the sun came up I realized I had to get back for school. I had the whole night in a daze. I had no idea where I was. I looked around and noticed a pay phone. I didn't have any money on me right now though. I went up to a man and asked if he had any spare change. He handed me some money. I probably looked pretty bad, not having any sleep and all. I dialed my number and no one answered. I guess it was passed time for them to be at work. I left a message and started to walk towards a gas station.
"Excuse me sir, but how do I get back to Tulsa?"
"Well you're about two hours from it. Just drive down that highway and take exit 35. You should end up right there."
"Thanks" I muttered. The guy had thought that I actually had a car. So he was thinking 2 hours bye car, but it would take me at least 5 hours on foot. Oh well I walked out here. Before I left the station I looked at the clock. It was 7:00. I started on my long journey home.
As I walked I thought about what was going on. How everything was changing. I hadn't noticed it before, but Soda was spending more time with this new chick, Andy. I had met her before and she was ok. She wasn't like a lot of the other greaser girls, but she was still pretty annoying.
Darry. well, Darry would always be who he was. The supersoc. Superman. He would never change. I found exit 35 and turned onto it. Cars passed me. Some slowed down and asked me if I needed a ride. I always declined because I didn't want Darry to be even more upset with me. He would be absolutely pissed when he got home. When I got home it was 1pm. It took me an hour longer than expected. I had to stop a few times and rest on the way home. I was so tired I got in bed and fell asleep.
I slept on and on until I heard the door open and close. I woke up and walked into the living room. I was still so tired though. It's only Two-Bit thank god.
"Hey Pony."
"Hey um gonna go back to bed ok?"
"Yeah sure whatever Pony. Darry and Soda were really worried about you. They told me to come here after school to see if you were home. They were gonna go out looking for ya but Darry would have been fired and Soda would have had it taken out of his pay check."
"Ok" That was all I could think of to say. I didn't think there was anything else to say.
I went back to my room and slept until I heard the door open and close with a loud BANG. Oh no here comes the real trouble.
