Darry didn't come up. Soda didn't come up. Pony didn't come up. It had been two hours and judging by the quietness Darry had kicked the guys out. Well maybe not everyone…he would've let Jonny stay. Always did. Jonny had it too rough at home. And he and me communicated real well.
He got picked on some too. Not by school kids but by his mom. She always yelled at him for one thing or another. But also I think we communicated so well because we both understood what it was like to be totally dependent upon something. I Mean without my brothers and their friends Jonny would be dead. Even I knew that. And without my brothers…well I wouldn't be able to go anywhere. I'd trip. I'd fall and hurt myself…scrape my knee and cry like a child. Or maybe be kidnapped or murdered or something….
I heard my door open. And soft footsteps tread upon my carpet. It was soda. I could tell by the way he walked. His footsteps were always soft. Unlike pony's which were slightly obvious and Darrys which were loud and announcing. I felt my bed sink down slightly as he sat.
"you feel like comen' downstairs? Darry made spaghetti, your favorite."
I shook my head wordlessly. I would be too ashamed to look….well be in the same room with Darry. I was sucking up the families money and I knew it. And I couldn't tell them that the only way for me to read was for someone to be with me in classes at all times. Draining more money…
I felt soda clear some hair from my unseeing eyes and I could feel tears in them. I just wanted to see again. Was that so much to ask? I wanted to be able to glare at my father when I got angry with him. I wanted to be able to see my tears. But most of all I just wanted to see my family and friends again. I missed seeing soda's face most of all. His handsome face and award winning smile.
I felt the tears fall down my cheeks and soda pulled me into his lap.
" It isn't fair soda. It just isn't fair. I cant do it. I cant do anything I just want to see again. Damn it"
I muttered. Through the tears. Soda rocked me like a little kid. Heck I was a little kid. I was eleven and all I wanted in the world was my sight back. I'd give anything for it.
"so I heard 'bout your grades"
Soda said when I had calmed down I nodded slowly and reluctantly
"what happened with you Marah? Sure you were never a spectacular student, but for a while now you've been doing pretty bad"
I could feel tears stinging at my eyes again
"promise you wont tell Darry"
I could feel soda shake his head
"you know I gotta tell him don't 'cha babe?"
I shrugged. Normally I tell him everything. I trust him. I hardly keep anything form anyone intentionally. But today It was gonna change. For once. I was gonna put my foot down. I would no longer be a burden like this no more money was gonna be poured into me
"then I can't tell you. I'm sorry Soda…I'm not hungry Tell Darry for me?"
I rolled off his lap and face first onto my pillow
"'c'mon babe don't-"
I cut him off right there
"I said I'm not hungry thanks soda"
I muttered into my pillow. I felt him stand up and heard the click of the door as he left the room. I listened for his slightly miffed footsteps down the stairs before bursting back into tears. Would I never be cried out?
