Things at Pony's House Change

Ponyboy's POV

When we returned to our house, Darry made it very clear that he wouldn't even let me and Brandy, stay in the same room together after he heard what I told Brandy's Father. So I said I was cool with it. All three of us walked up to our parents' room that hasn't been open since they were here and we were all silent. Until Darry unlocked the door and he held his breathe as he entered. Brandy obviously knew what was going on because she looked down at the ground the whole time. Then she spoke up.

"Hey Darry I'm really glad that your letting me stay and all, but do you really want me to stay in here, I mean after all…" she was cut off by his stern tone.

"Its fine Brandy, just ...Just try don't move anything…For me?" I could tell that it hurt him real bad to be in here.

"Oh, thanks Darry!" she said as she gave him a big hug throwing him off a little but then giving back the gesture.

"So, Brandy it's been a long day, I bet you really could use some sleep huh?" I asked as she nodded her head.

I stayed in the door way just watching her, as she fell back on to the bed very exhausted of the event that occupied today. I say her close her eyes, and easily drift to sleep, so I closed the door and headed to the kitchen. There Darry was sitting at the table, looking at me like he really wanted to have a discussion.

"Pony I need to talk to you." He said in a very strict manner.

I was a little intimidated by him so I just sat down across from him with out saying a word.

"Pony, I know you like her, but I'm just afraid that she might be a bad influence on you considering…what she does…" he trailed off and I was a bit confused about the whole situation so I asked.

"So Darry, I'm not catching on to what you're saying…"I said then paused to hear his response.

"Pony, she's harms her self, didn't you know that?"

"Oh….So that's what you're talking about, yes I know she DID that, but she hasn't for a while now that she has been hanging with us. She's been doing real well Darry."

"Pony, it's the fact that she did cut herself that I'm worried about! I really don't want that type of behavior around here. And I know she doesn't have any were to go so that's why imp letting her stay here for now. If she does it again, then she's out, go it!" he said in almost a threatening tone.

"Darry I promise that I will not happen again. I know Brandy now. I know what she has to put up with at home now. So I really think things would get better for her. At least I hope the do."

Darry looked at the time and then said "Kid get to bet you got things to do" even though tomorrow was Saturday, which really men that we would have nothing to do.

I went to my room, and laid next to soda considering that we shard a room. And just sat there for a while thinking about all that Brandy must have gone threw to harm her self like the way she did. But it didn't last long because I quickly fell to sleep shortly after.

I'm stopping here for the night, the next chapter will be much more serious, and Darry talks to Brandy about why she cuts and if she does it again he will kick her out of the house…I really hope no one upsets her…oh its gonna be a good one I promise…

Now your turn…REVIEW!
