Title: Why did my life have to turn out this way?

Summary: What if Darry had decided not to raise his two brothers?

Part: 6?

July 4th

Elisa and Sam had a big 4th of July party. I've never seen so much liquor in my life. I think there was every kind of alcohol you could think of. Heck even the couple Soda's

living with would probably be able to name some of the unmarked alcohol. Yes Soda's told me that they drink every weekend. I wish that Elisa and Sam knew them that way I could

see Soda. I asked them if they knew them, they said they did but wouldn't be inviting them. Wouldn't give me a reason, just said that it was none of my business. I'll have to ask Soda next time I write him why that was. We went out and watched

the firework. It was ok, but I really liked the ones that we used to shoot off back home. We had so many fireworks that three times the cops came and told us that we had to stop

shooting them off because someone complained about the noise because of what time it was. It was so funny because Darry was the one that was shooting most of them off then. I wish I could be back home

and shoot them off like old times. Tomorrow I'm going to write Johnny who's been my best bud since grade school. Its weird that he's older than me but if you looked

at him you'd think that we were the same age. Sorry I have a habbit of getting off track. I'm going to write him and ask how the fourth was for the gang.

Hey Johnny

It's Pony, nothing going on here. Just wondering how your 4th of July was? Mine was pretty boring. Sam and Elisa had a bunch of their friends over and all they did was drink. Some of them got so drunk they're still sleeping if off in the guess room. Tell the gang hi.

Your friend,

Dear Soda,

How was your 4th of July? Mine was boring as heck. Hey did you know that Elisa and Sam know Pam and Steve? They wouldn't tell me why they wouldn't invite them over so do you know why they wouldn't? I wish that you and I were back home with the gang. Has Steve lightened up on you? Well I will let you get back to your girlfriend(s).
