Hello! Thank you guys for reviewing.
Jorjor: Thanx. You were the first person to review and you probably don't know how much it means to me that the first person that reviewed liked it.
Robot In Disguise: Thanx for the tip. I'll try harder to do that.
TheAngryPrincess13: I thought I was the only one who liked Sandy too. I'm really glad you loved it. You Rock.
Dally's Chick: I kinda already have the story planned out, but don't worry something happens that I guess you could call action and a fight. The fight happens real soon, but the action part doesn't happen till the middle of chapter 4. I know I've done 2 chapters already but the next two chapters are real long, so it might be a while. Neways there isn't too much action, but I hope you like it.
Thank you soooo much. When I went to check my email and I saw I had reviews it just made my day. Ok now on with the story.
Chapter 3
After that night Ponyboy and Sandy became extremely close. I still wasn't sure how I felt about it, but it wasn't too high of an extent yet anyway. That was until one night. It was about two weeks after Sandy's return.
I was coming home from work and when I opened the door Pony and Sandy were right out the door like they were about to leave.
"Hey where were you two off to?" I asked.
"We were just gonna go see a movie," Pony answered.
"Well why didn't you guys let me know so I could come with you?" I asked. It really bugged me that they didn't even tell me about this.
"Cause you don't like movies and you said you were working," Pony said like I had just asked the stupidest question in the world. Darry walked in the room.
"Hey you three, what's up?"
"I'll tell you what's up," I said stiffly," My girlfriend and my brother are getting all buddy, buddy and leaving me out of their lives. I mean I spent my whole life taking care of Pony and he replaces me in one night. It takes a real insensitive person to do that." I didn't quite realize what I said until I had already said it and already hurt Ponyboy. I looked at him and I was the tears well up in his eyes. Darry hugged him.
"It's ok baby, he didn't mean it. Why don't you go to your room?" Pony ran out of the room and slammed the door. Darry turned around and glared at me in disgust. "What the hell did you do that for? I mean Soda, really, the kid lost his parents, was hit by his brother who should have been there for him, watched his best friend die, now he has no friends cause all his friends at school think he's some kind of murderer, Two-Bit's busy with his dad, Steve only likes you, and even though after all that, he's never done anything to anyone now he's insensitive. Look Soda, you're my brother... I'll always love you, but right now, you're the only insensitive one in this house."
Darry had never said anything like that to me before. I that instant the guilt seeped through my skin, into my blood. And rushed about through my veins freezing me with its coldness. I turned to Sandy.
"This is all your fault," I lied. The truth was this was all my fault. "If you hadn't taken over everything this never would have happened. But since you're already better at everything why don't you be a better sibling to Ponyboy."
Sandy just stood there with an expression I had never seen before and NEVER wanted to see again. At that moment I hated myself. I hurt my brother and the woman I loved it was because of her.
"Sandy..." I whispered trying to beg for forgiveness, but it was not given, instead she into the room where Pony was.
I already knew how awful it was to watch Sandy cry, but for her to cry because of me, and with Pony on top of it, the pain was too much to handle, so I fell to knees. Darry picked me up.
"Don't worry about it little buddy, they're both crazy about you, tomorrow you can apologize and everything will be fine."
"Nu-uh. I still think I'm right, they do get buddy, buddy on me."
"Yeah, but do you care more about being right or more about them?"
That was the stupidest question. Pony and Sandy were my whole world, yet tonight I managed to destroy my whole world. I turned the beautiful, flowing river in Sandy's china blue eyes to a violent rain and the soft gentle breeze in Pony's voice to a howling wind. I turned them into sadness. I made my world suffer.
I slept with Darry in his room that night. I didn't want to see Sandy or Pony until I had a strong apology for each. I had all night to think of an apology. I couldn't sleep. I spent the night crying, feeling guilty, and praying they would forgive me.
I was lying in bed when suddenly Pony came running in the room. I got out of bed and ran toward him. I was so happy to see him I nearly fell over. When I came to him I hugged him for a long time. I felt like I could stand there for the rest of eternity just holding Pony in my arms.
"Oh, Ponyboy I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said."
"It's ok."
"So you're not mad?"
"Of course not. Soda, you're my brother and a pretty darn good one at that. I could never get mad at you...I love you, besides we got bigger problems. Sandy's leaving."
"What, why?" I asked shocked.
"Soda she's really upset. She was up all night crying. Soda, she cried so much she made herself sick. She said she's ruining our lives. This morning I saw her packing. She said she was leaving because she was causing to many problems. Soda you can't let her leave, I mean she's sick and three months pregnant!"
I could feel my eyes flooding with tears. I had hurt Sandy after she was already hurt. I ran to the room where her and Pony slept.
"Sandy...Sandy," I screamed, but I was to late. She had already left. I jerked around and zoomed out the front door. I peeked down the street only to see Sandy's car turn the corner. I touched my pocket. It was there. I carried around the engagement ring I was planning to give Sandy before she went to Florida. When she left I tried to sell it, but I never had the heart to. I guess I just figured if I kept the ring Sandy would find her way back to me. I hopped in my car so I could follow her. I chased her around for what felt like hours honking and yelling her name. I could feel my head pounding, my stomach turning, and the salty tears spilling from my eyes, but I had only one thing on my mind...Sandy.
Finally her car slowed. I pulled in to the lane next to her, so our cars were side-by-side. I poked my head out the window.
"Follow me," I shouted.
She nodded and I pulled in front. I was taking her to the DX to pump number eight. I meet Sandy there. I was filling her car with gas. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. I told her that a certain person thought that she was beautiful and wanted to take her out to dinner. She fell for that third person talk in an instant.
When we reached the DX I motioned for her to park by the pump. Pump number eight. I started filling her car up with gas. She got out of the car.
"Excuse me Mrs.," I said," but there's a message from a man who is completely in love with you. He said he's a stupid bastard who doesn't deserve your pity, but is in fact extremely sorry for what he did."
"Soda..."she began," you remembered. You remembered the pump number and the way you talked to me in third person."
"How could I forget?" I knelt down before her and opened the box that the ring was in and placed the ring on her finger. "This man who is completely in love with you also wants you to know that he is terribly sorry and would be the happiest man alive if you, Sandy Christine Camden, would be his wife."
"Well Sandy Christine Camden," she began going along with my third person talk," wants this man who is completely in love with her to know that she is completely in love with him and would like nothing else more in the world than to be his wife." She sat on the ground beside me and we kissed for a long time. Right there in a gas station parking lot by pump number eight.
Please review. And Dally's Chick don't worry the action part is coming. Thanx again to everyone who reviewed it means a lot to me.
