Chapter 2
We talked about it and decided that Sandy should come and live me, Pony, and Darry. On the way to our house I told her about everything that had happened with Johnny and Dallas.
"I'm sorry about Johnny and Dally," she said.
"Well I wasn't the one who suffered, it was Pony. Losing Johnny was hard for him." We didn't talk much the rest of the way home. Sandy just rested her head on my shoulder and I fiddled with my pocket. Usually when I ride in the car I rock back and forth but Sandy looked so peaceful I didn't want to disturb her. We finally got home and when we got into the house I yelled that I was back. I always make a public announcement whenever I enter or exit the house. Darry and Pony came running to the door and when they saw Sandy they both froze. There was one of those uncomfortable, awkward silences.
"Hey Sandy, how about I show you where ya can unpack your things," I said. I showed her to the room me and Pony shared. I went back to where Darry and Pony were. They both looked dumbfounded and I explained to them everything Sandy told me. We all agreed that it was okay for her to stay with us.
That night I lay between Pony and Sandy. I was lying on my stomach with one arm around each of them. I slowly dozed off to sleep.
I woke up suddenly and looked at the alarm clock. It was the middle of the night. I realized that Pony was awake too.
"Hey kiddo, you ok?" I feel kinda dizzy." I felt his forehead and he felt pretty warm. He looked pretty pale too. Sandy must have woke up to cause she asked what was going on and when I told her Pony was sick she went in the kitchen and came back with a glass of something.
She handed the glass to Pony and sat beside him stroking his hair.
"Yum, what is this?" he asked.
"A secret, family recipe."
"Sandy..."he said. "I'm glad you're here." He turned to me. "You know, you smile more when you see her and her eyes glow when she looks at you. I know you guys are in love and I'm glad. You both deserve it, and Sandy if I had to pick someone for Soda to be in love with it would be you. You remind me of my mom. The way you handle things and stuff is just like her. I already love you as a sister." After that we all went to sleep. We decided to let Sandy sleep in the middle so if Pony needed something I wouldn't get woken up. I had mixed emotions that night. I was glad Pony and Sandy were getting along, but I felt like I was being replaced.
