Being Young
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Connie.
Summery:
The gang is their same ages as in the book but Ponyboy is 3 years old. Pony is anemic. Mostly Darry's POV. Darry has a girlfriend, Connie. This is set in 2004.
(Darry's POV)
Ponyboy was sick again; he's been getting sick a lot lately. Connie has been watching him while he is sick. Connie works at the "Nightly Double" every other night. She worked last night. Connie always does the grocery shopping for me, her and Ponyboy are going today. Pony had his 3rd birthday two weeks ago; he had to spend it in the hospital.
"Dar, you're going to be late for work if you don't leave now." Connie said from the kitchen. Ponyboy was in the living room watching Mickey Mouse. Sodapop and Steve already went to work and Johnny went to school, and Dally went god knows where. Two-bit is asleep in Soda's room (Sodapop and Ponyboy do not share a room in this fic). I guess he got drunk last night and stumbled into Soda's room and passed out, well that's what I heard.
(Connie's POV)
Darry said his good-byes and left for work. I got up from the table and walked into the living room to find Ponyboy asleep on the couch. I let him sleep and went to get dressed in some hip-hugger blue jeans and a yellow shirt. I went back into the living room and woke Pony up. He was only half-awake when I dressed him in overalls and a red and gray-stripped shirt. My parents had bought me a car two years ago and it was already banged up. I put Ponyboy in his car seat and got in behind the wheel. When we got to the store, I went right to the pharmacy section and got Ponyboy's prescription. I might have to get another job. we were almost to the checkout lane when pony said he wanted to play with the toys.
"You got toys at home that you can play with that you never play with." He gave me his cutest puppy look and I bought him a toy truck.
A/N: this chapter was just to give you an idea of what everybody (I mostly mean Connie and Ponyboy) is going to be like in this fic. Please Review!
