(A/N)- Thanks for the good review guys..hopefully you'll like this
chapter to.
It was Saturday morning, and Cherry rolled over in bed. She felt drunk,
but was positive she wasn't drinking the night before. Her head was
spinning. She pulled the sheets over head and growned. She knew she had
to go to work, but just because she knew didn't mean she wanted to. Cherry
had different plans for the day. She finally got dressed and called her
boss.
"Hello?"
"Hi-this is Sherri. Is this Helen?"
"Yes..Sherri, do you know you're an hour late?"
"Yes, but I called to say I'm not coming in today"
"Sherri-you have missed enough days, and-"
"Please? I have to go somewhere and-"
"Fine" Helen said. "But tomorrow, if your not here-"
"Okay, thanks" Cherry hung up the phone.
She ate breakfast, and soon was in her car, driving to Pony's house.
She got out of her car. When she got to the door, she could tell everyone
was there. She heard yelling, and cursing, and crashes. Yup, now she
knew everyone was here. She hesitated to knock. The noise stopped from
inside. It was quiet. She listened. All of a sudden, Two-Bit flew open
the door and shouted "CHERRY!" Cherry jumped. "You scared me half to death,
and-" Cherry was cut off by Two-Bit picking her up, and putting her
on his back. He carried her inside. "Look what I found" he announced loudly.
He went up to Darry, who was sitting in the recliner. "Can I keep her-
pleeeeeease!!!!" Darry smiled. "Will you take care of her?" asked Soda,
who laid on the floor. "Oh yes, I promise. I'll feed her and-" Cherry
jumped off Two-Bit's back. "That's okay." Cherry said. "I can take care
of myself" Cherry laughed, and sat down by Soda. "Where's Pony?" asked
Cherry, who noticed he wasn't there. "He's upstairs" said Two-Bit,
running upstairs. Two minutes later, Two-Bit came back down with Ponyboy
thrown over his shoulder. "Got em'" Two-Bit ran down the steps with
Pony on his back. "Hey-watch it!" yelled Darry. Two-Bit plopped Pony
next to Cherry. "Hi" Pony said. Cherry laughed. "Hi, Pony."
"Is everything alright?" Pony asked.
"Yeah..I just didn't feel like going to work"
"Funny" said Two-Bit, throwing an arm around Cherry. "Thats how I always
feel" Cherry smiled, and continued her conversation with Pony.
"Pony..maybe you have things to do but..would you like to go somewhere
with me?"
"Sure" replied Pony, already knowing where they were going.
Cherry stood up. "Okay, Lets go." " What? I can't come?" asked Two-Bit,
springing up from the couch. All Cherry did was smile. "Bye." Pony and
Cherry got into the car.
"Thanks for coming, Pony"
"No problem. We're gonna see Dally, aren't we."
"Yup" Cherry answered as she drove down the street.
"You know Cherry...you drive faster than Two-Bit!"
Cherry laughed, and pushed on the gas peddle, making the engine roar.
Pony smiled, but for once in his life, considered wearing his seat belt.
"I've been feeling a little better lately." Cherry said.
"Good" Pony replied.
They pulled into the lot. Cherry dashed out the door, and Pony had to run to
keep up. Cherry stopped at the gate to let Pony catch up. The graveyard
was small. The gate was rusty, and the paint chipped away. Cherry opened
the gate and went in, Pony by her side. Pony looked for Dally's grave.
"Cherry, I can't find-" He noticed Cherry standing, shocked, by a grave.
He knelt beside her. "This was Dally's grave, wasn't it" Cherry nodded,
trying to hold back the tears. Now no one would have guessed it was his.
The name on the grave was chipped off, so not one letter remained. The
grave looked as if people took a hammer and swung it at the grave until
it was amusing. It was terrible. Someone probably enjoyed doing this. Cherry
started to cry. "Socs" she whispered. She stood up. "God damn Socs!" she
yelled. Pony still examined the grave. " Those Bastards!" she yelled,
crying. She knelt before the grave. "Those-those" Cherry choked as she
cried. She closed her eyes. "Why? Pony,...Why?" Cherry whispered.
