Title: Why did my life have to turn out this way?
Summary: What if Darry had decided not to raise his two brothers?
Part: 9?
A/N: Just to let you all know this is going to be Johnny and Pony's P.O.V.'s that way there aren't as many chapters ok?
Johnny's P.O.V.
I got the letter from Pony today. I'm happy to hear from him. I wrote him back but I really didn't know what to say. I miss him. It's not the same, and I can't talk to the other guys
like I could Pony. Dally's trying to be more open and talk to me but he's seen stuff that I only read about. I guess my problem is that I don't feel comfortable talking to him. I try to
be but I'm just not. I couldn't give you a reason. Since we're out for the summer I don't talk to Soda as much as I'd like to since he's the only way I have to hear about Pony. I've
tried to call Pony but his "father" won't let me talk to him because he doesn't want Pony talking to people who don't have money. The way Soda talks about Pony's "father" he's a
real ass. I called Soda the other day to see if he and Pony might be able to come for a couple of days before they had to go back to school. Soda said that he can't because he's
grounded until school starts because he got a C on his last math test. I know for a fact that Mr. and Mrs. Curtis wouldn't have cared as long as he applied himself. And Pony can't
come because of the whole money thing. It's a good thing that Soda turns 18 next year, that way Pony can come back here and live. Also he can be with someone that really loves
him, and doesn't just say that they do. Maybe I can come and live with them? I'm ready to be away from my parents. The only reason that I don't turn them in is that I'll end up where Pony and Soda are. I know for a fact that Dally won't try to get custody of me because to him I'm just a kid.
Pony's P.O.V.
I got the letter from Soda today. Said that he didn't know why Pam and Steve were invited.
Dear Soda,
Darry hasn't wrote me as of right now and I really hope that he doesn't. I don't care if he never knows how I am. He did this and he deserves never know how we are. Hope you had at least some fun at your friend's house. Johnny wrote me too. Haven't heard from him yet. I don't think we'll be able to see each other before summer's up. I go back the same time you do.
