Title: Why did my life have to turn out this way?
Summary: What if Darry decided not to raise his two brothers?
Part: 15?
A/N: I don't know if I ever said but this does take place on a Friday ok?
When the guys got into town they didn't know which way the school was so they found the nearest gas station to get directions. The guys knew that if they all went into the gas
station then they'd get kicked out so Johnny and Dally went in to get the directions. They both went in so maybe one of them wouldn't forget what the gas intent said. The gas
intent told them to go up the street and take a left then go two blocks and take another left and they'd see the school. They told him thanks and then headed out to the car.
"So how far are we from the school?" Soda asked
"Not that far just a couple of block." Dally said
"Thank God." Soda said
"Why? Ready to get out of the car?" Steve asked
"Yes and I want to see Pony." Soda said annoyed
"Well we're about there now." Johnny said
They got there just as the kids came out to eat lunch. Since the school sat on a dead end the guys parked the car on the side of the school. They walked around where the kids were eating lunch. Soda started looking for Pony. When he couldn't find him he started to freak out. Soda didn't know where his brother was and that was starting to worry him more then anything.
"Hey can I help you?"
"Yeah I'm looking for…" Soda started to say
"Pony!" Soda exclaimed very loudly
"Yeah its me." Pony said
Steve, Dally, Two-Bit and Johnny all turned around when they heard Soda say Pony's name. When they saw Pony they didn't realize him because he how has blond hair. So they walked over to where Soda and Pony were.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" Pony asked
"We came to see you of course." Steve said
"Oh" Pony said sounding depressed
"Don't you guys have school? What you do, just skip town?" Pony asked
"Umm…no. Soda's supposed to be on a fishing trip, and we're supposed to be seeing him." Johnny said
"What are you guys really doing here?" Pony asked
"We came here because we're going to get you away from that thing you're living with" Soda said angrily
"I don't know what you're talking about." Pony said
"I know you get abuse like I do." Johnny said
"You all have lost your minds." Pony said
"PONY! We know what happens to you. You can tell us we're your friends and we're not going to think any less of you." Steve said shocking them all
"YES YOU WILL!" Pony yelled
"Pony I know what you're going through, I'm not going to think less of you for it." Johnny said
"Why won't you all just leave me alone?" Pony asked.
He tried to head back to the table he was at when he saw Soda and came over to him. But before he could get away Johnny grabbed him and pulled him into a hug.
Before anyone knew it Pony was crying into Johnny's shoulder. Then the rest of the gang joined in the hug. The bell ring a few minutes later. When Pony tried to get away he found that the guys had joined and they weren't going to let him go anywhere.
"Guys I've got to go back to class." Pony said
"No you are going straight to the nurse's office and telling them that you just got sick and need to go home." Dally said
"I can't then Sam will just come and get me." Pony said while looking horrified
"No because I'll come with you and say that I'm your uncle." Two-Bit said
Pony still didn't want to go to the nurse but he did want to hang out with his brother and friends. So Pony and Two-Bit went and told the nurse that Pony had just got sick. The nurse at first didn't want to send him home with Two-Bit but after trying to get a hold of Sam and not being able to she finally agreed to let Two-Bit take him home.
"So where are we going to go?" Pony asked
"Is there a park near by?" Dally asked while driving
"Yeah umm how did you come in?" Pony asked
"We came up Main Street and then turned left." Johnny said
"Just go back to where you turned left to get here and go straight it's only a block up the street then." Pony said
"Ok." Dally said
So they arrived at the park five minutes later.
"So how long can you guys stay?" Pony asked
"We can only stay tonight then we have to go back. I have to make sure that I get Soda over here back by Monday." Dally said
"Oh…I was hoping you could stay longer." Pony said sounding really depressed
"Sorry but we can't little buddy." Soda said while glaring at Dally
"So how did you figure it out?" Pony asked to no one in particular
"You want to take this one Johnny?" Two-Bit asked
"When we were talking yesterday you started to say I but then changed it. Sorry but it doesn't take a genus to figure it out when you go through it your whole life." Johnny said
"Well I tried not to make it that noticeable." Pony said
"Well I'm happy that you said something and that I figured it out." Johnny said
"You do know that you guys can't tell anyone now don't you?" Pony asked
"WHAT? I'M NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND LET THAT ASS GET AWAY WITH THIS." Soda yelled
"NO! You can't tell anyone, besides I deserve it when he hits me." Pony said
"NO YOU DON'T!" The guys all yelled at once.
Soda was so mad that he slammed his hand down on the picnic table they were sitting at so hard that he chipped part of the paint off. When he did it Johnny and Pony both jumped a foot in the air.
"Crap!" Pony yelled causing everyone to stare at him.
"What?" Steve asked
"I have to get home!" Pony said in a panicky voice
"Pony calm down. It's only three o'clock." Johnny said
"Yes and I'm supposed to be home by 3:30 because Sam was coming home early today." Pony said
"Don't worry Elisa will probably make up an excuse for you." Soda said
"No she won't, she doesn't life there anymore." Pony said
"When she move out?" Soda asked
"Two three weeks ago, I don't know! Lets go!" Pony said really nervous now
"How far do you live?" Dally asked finally taking Pony seriously
"twelve blocks." Pony said
"Don't' worry we'll be there in ten to twenty minutes." Dally said
So they sped towards where Pony lives. Dally put the metal to the petal. They got there without running into a red light or a cop.
"Are you sure you can't stay awhile longer?" Pony asked while climbing out of the car
"Afraid not." Soda said while hugging him good-bye
The gang said their good-byes and then left before someone saw them and turned them for not belonging there.
"So where are we going?" Soda asked angrily
"To Nebraska." Dally said
"Why are we going there?" Soda asked
"To tell Darry what's going on." Dally asked
"He won't listen." Soda said
"We'll just have to make him then won't we?" Dally asked
"What ever" Soda said
A/N: Next chapter you'll get to see Darry's reaction. Sorry didn't update sooner.
