I followed pony boy all over The east side it seemed like that anyways. But I was prepared to follow this guy to the end of the world. Even if my crush was thirteen years ago and I was twenty six or scratch that twelve. He was a looker.
Finally we stopped in front of a ratty looking house pony turned to look at me
"just let me do all the talking"
He said I nodded showing I would be totally quiet. And he rand the doorbell
A tall guy with rusty side burns opened it
"heya pon sup?"
His speech was slurred and I could tell he was slightly drunk I stepped behind pony boy a little so he wouldn't see me. I was a little scared of him even if I was much older I was still in a twelve year olds body.
The guy noticed me anyways
"hey pon what little broad ya go there??"
"no one she's just a friend and needs a ride to the Westside"
Two bits face got cold
"pony what you doing hanging out with Socs? I thought you were better than that?!"
I stepped out from behind him
"I'm sorry I can't help where I was born into please Two bit I've gotta catch a ride so I can Stop my dad from killing himself!!"
I said it all in one breath and looked at him pleadingly
He sighed and I hoped it was a sigh of defeat
"why? Do I always fall for the blondes why?" he muttered to himself as he disappeared inside
He came back out and bounded down the steps
"well come on I aint got all night and sounds like you don't either!"
I smiled and wordlessly followed him to his old souped up car.
***
The car ride was mostly Silent but for two bit asking me for where I needed to go. I told him to take me too 121 maple street.
And he drove off in silence.
I lived out of the socy neighborhoods down a road with only three houses on it ours is the only one occupied. I knew for a fact no one would be home as two bit parked the car in our driveway I jumped out and looked around frantically.
How did dad die again? I couldn't remember I had tried not to all my life and now I needed to.
I hated Irony right at that moment
Finally I looked to the top of the house where my dad was standing
"DADDY!!"
I screamed and he looked at me a little shocked
"Misty?"
He asked
"Misty I'm sorry…"
