Chapter 10- Reactions- Jenny's POV
Pony and I, still lip locked, slowly pulled apart, and turned to face the voice. It wasn't who I had originally suspected; thankfully. We looked up, and saw Pony's brother ,Sodapop, standing there in the frame of the bathroom door.
" What the fuck are you doing?" yelled Soda. I never heard him ever be mad or yell at anyone since I had met him. It scared me.
" I asked you what the hell you're doing?" he asked again when neither Pony nor I said anything.
Finally, Pony spoke up. "Soda, it's not what it looks like.. I swear.. I" Pony began to say until Soda cut him off.
" Oh, I'll bet. How is this not what it looks like? It is exactly what I am thinking, and I want to know what's going on?" he said. A little calmer this time.
" Soda.. we didn't.." I began to say.
" Oh god.. my baby brother is having sex!" Soda mumbled, although we could both clearly hear him. Soda hadn't ever acted like this before. And Pony backed away from the counter where I was sitting still.
" Soda, I'm not having sex okay?" Pony said as his cheeks turned a slight pink.
I suddenly realized that I still had only my bra on, and that my cuts and bruises were showing. Soda could easily see them. I think I did it too obvious, because when I hurried and reached for a towel Soda noticed.
" What the hell?" he asked as he walked over to me to get a closer look. I hopped off the counter ashamed of myself for some reason.
" Turn around." he said.
I did, and he saw my back, I guess it was worse than I thought, because he gasped the same was Pony did when he saw them.
" Okay, you guys have a lot of explaining to do." Soda said.
" But Soda.." Pony began.
" Kitchen now! And go get dressed first." he said as he left the bathroom to go wait for us in the kitchen. I let out a sigh.
Pony and I got dressed in silence in my room, then we both walked downstairs and sat at the kitchen table where Soda was sitting.
"Explain." Soda said looking at us for some answers.
I guess Pony figured that we might as well tell him, there was no way that we could hide it anymore.
" When we got.. attacked the other night they roughed Jenny up a bit, we think she was passed out or something, because she doesn't remember them doing anything. But thank goodness, they didn't rape her or anything." Pony said, " And I was helping her put on the medicine so that her cuts would stop bleeding, that's why her shirt was off, and I had no shirt because last night it poured when we were coming over here, so I took it off." Pony said.
" And slept in the same bed?" Soda asked.
" Soda come on, you know me, we didn't do nothing.." Pony pleaded with him.
" I thought I knew you." Soda said sadly.
" Oh, come on Soda, that's not fair, you do know me.. better than I know myself even.." Pony said seriously to Soda.
" I used to. but now that you two are together, you are always so secretive. And you don't even talk to Darry or me about anything anymore." Soda said. I knew that they were having a brotherly talk, but I couldn't just walk out and leave. So, I sat in silence listening.
" I talk to you all the time Soda." Pony said unsurely.
Soda gave Pony a look, which made Pony change his mind.
" Okay, so I could talk to you more, but this has nothing to do with what we were talking about." Pony said.
" Are you okay?" Soda asked me. He was referring to what happened.
" Yeah, I am just a little sore, but I'll be fine. But, please don't punish Pony, it was my fault.. I kissed him, even though I knew that we shouldn't be kissing in the current.. situation. I'm sorry." I said
" Don't be sorry." Soda said.
" But we are Soda.." Pony started to say.
" You know what, we can discuss it at home." Soda said.
" You mean with Darry right?" Pony asked.
" Yes, Pony. He is worried sick about you. We need to get home. Lets go." Soda said. He was acting like Darry. I knew he had to though, at least until Darry was here he had to be the adult.
We drove the Curtis's in the Ford pickup truck. It was a silent ride there, and I mean silent. No one said a word the whole way there. it was very uncomfortable and awkward, but we finally got there. We all stepped out of the car, and Soda walked in the house first and held the door open for Pony and me.
We all walked in and Darry was sitting at the kitchen table nervously drinking his coffee. We he saw us he flipped out. I knew he would though.
" Oh, god! Where were you?!" he yelled. Soda stopped him and took him into the living room while Pony and I sat at the table nervously. They came in about 3 minutes later, and Darry looked even madder than he did before.
Soda and Darry sat across the table from Pony and I.
" Explain yourself. Now!" Darry yelled. he meant it, he wasn't kidding around. His face was red with anger. And I figured Soda had probably told Darry that he thought we slept together. I definitely wasn't looking forward to the conversation that was about to happen, but I knew that it was inevitable. Pony and I would just have to explain ourselves again.
" First of all where were you?" Darry asked.
We went to her house, and it turned out that the socs hurt her more than we thought.." Pony said.
" Let me see." Darry said firmly.
I stood up and lifted up the front of my shirt, and then the back.
" Don't think you're off the hook, but I don't want you guys to worry about the socs. We'll take care of them, and Pony you're grounded for a week, and since I can't stop you guys from seeing each other you'll both be doing work around the house." Darry said.
" Oh, come on Darry! It's not her fault! I'll do double the work, just don't make her do it.." Pony said.
" No, I want to do it.. I need to help too. I was part of it. It was my fault too. I should help you." I said to Darry and Pony at the same time. Even if we were cleaning we would be together, if Pony did it all.. we wouldn't be together. And it means more to me that we're together.
" Okay, that's settled, now we need to know what you were doing..? I am pretty sure it's to late for " the talk", but I'll give it anyways... why Pony..?" he asked.
" Why what?" Pony asked.
" Come on Pony.. don't play stupid.. lets just make this easy." Soda said softly.
" I'm not.. I don't know what your talking about," Pony said.
" Why the hell did you have sex Ponyboy!!" Darry yelled.
" Who said that?" Pony asked shocked. I guess he didn't think that Soda would tell Darry.
" It doesn't matter. The question is why would you do this to yourself. You're fourteen!" Darry yelled.
" You told him that Soda?" Pony asked angrily facing Soda. Pony had never been mad at Soda, at least in front of me before.
" Pony.." Soda began to stick up for himself.
" No! How am I supposed to trust you anymore? You say that I don't talk to you and Darry anymore, well I wonder why? I can't believe you told him that. I'm not ever going to trust you again Soda!" Pony said loudly.
" So you admit it? You slept together." Darry asked.
" You know what? I am so sick of this. All of it! Will you just leave us the fuck alone!?? What we do is our business not yours." Pony said.
" It is our business whether or not our little brother is out ruining is whole life. And watch your language." Darry said.
" Ruining my life? If you would just trust me! You know what.. you wanna know about us. Then fine here ya go.. We haven't ever had sex, we had our first kiss on our second date at The Dingo, we always hold hands no matter where we are, we love to hug, we've slept in the same bed twice, once when I was in the hospital, and then last night. We have made out before.. for about 15 minutes. And if we wanted to have sex then we would.. I think about things to you know. I know all about consequences, don't you think that I have thought about them too? I'm not gunna make a mistake, and if I do it'll be my problem. You need to trust me. If I say that we didn't have sex, then we didn't. Believe me. Have some faith. And you know what.. we're in love. We're going to get married one day! We'll have kids, and we will be away from you guys!! After Johnny and Dally died I never thought that I would live again. I never thought I would get a chance to be happy again. And I found someone who makes me happy, and that loves me. And you're trying to take her away. Stop! Just please stop. Leave us alone!!" Pony yelled and then I saw tears forming in his eyes. He rested his head on the table, and waiting for someone to talk. Pony was usually so quiet, he usually never talks that much at once, I think it was just all his emotions bottled up, and he needed to get rid of them. I was glad he got all of that off of his chest. The thing was what was Darry going to say?
Then I realized something. No one said anything, so I did.
" You know what, I can't do this. I don't want to be someone who gets in between three brothers. If I wasn't here then none of this would be happening, and you guys wouldn't be fighting.. it's all because of me. I'm sorry." I said standing up and heading for the door.
" Wait." I turned around to face the voice that said it. It was Darry.
" Don't go. I'm sorry Jenny. I'm sorry that you have to go through this. All this is my fault. I am trying to be a good guardian for Pony, and I just am trying to hard. I have to let you guys live your life. You said you didn't want to be someone who broke up three brothers, well I don't want to be someone who breaks up two people who are obviously so much in love. I am sorry, I guess that Soda and I just aren't used to sharing you with anyone else, but we can get over that. " Darry said. Pony and I were both staring at Darry admiringly. Now this was the Darry that I knew, the loving and caring one. I was glad he was back.
" Thank you Jenny. For being there for Pony when I was being a jerk." Darry said.
" No problem." I said smiling.
" Can you forgive me Pony?" Darry asked.
Pony answered by going over to Darry and hugging him. We were all standing up by now, glad that all this was over. We would all get along now.
" I am sorry for running away, and giving you a hard time. I know your just trying to help me and take care of me." Pony said.
" It's okay little buddy.. everything will be okay." Darry said as he and Pony let go of their hug.
I smiled. Everything is going to be okay.
Pony came over to me, and wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. Darry and Soda noticed that we needed some space and went to watch T.V in the living room. So, now they did trust us.
" Were you really going to leave me?" Pony asked laughing a bit. He already knew the answer.
" No, I was just upset. We will all be okay." I said as we kissed while I was still safe in his arms. Things would get good, but all good things have to come to an end. Right?
