Where's Pony And Steve's reflections

Darry Pov

I was going to kill Steve. I was going to hurt him bad. I just couldn't believe how he could said something like that to Pony. Was he out of his mind. Now Pony was missing AGAIN. And this time he was completely alone. What if he did something stupid. What if he actually .. gave up. Ohh god he wouldn't do that now wouldn't he. We had to find him. But I had no idea where to search. He could be anywhere and it was already night. Once again i had failed to protect him. I felt so useless right now. I'm suppose to be looking after him. Of course I never would have though that things would turn this way. Never in a million years. I mean this is Steve we're talking about. A guy that I saw as another brother. What was happening to us. We're suppose to stick together no matter what. We shouldn't be fighting each other. I mean if we don't have each other then what's left out there for us ?

Soda Pov

How could Steve turn into such a bastard. How could he say those terrible things to my brother and walk away like everything was ok. I just couldn't believe it. He's my best friend almost like another brother to me. I couldn't and didn't want to believe it. But seeing the angry eyes of Two Bit. I knew it was true. My brother had ran away because of Steve. Because of my best friend. We had to find him and then I'll deal with Steve myself.

Two bit Pov

God I couldn't look at the Curtis. Darry was looking like he was going to kill someone not that I could blame him. And Soda... The always grinning Soda was looking like I had shot him or something. Now you ought to understand that Steve and Soda well they're more than best friend. The bond they have with each other is so strong that its actually scary. And if you had tell me a few months before that something would come between them well I would have tell you to stop smoking weed cause it was making you loosing it. But then again the only thing that Soda loved more than Steve its his brother. Steve should have know better than that. Really he should have. I was so worried for the kid. He wasn't in a right state of mind. Hell what was going to happen now.

Steve Pov

I saw Darry's car passing the street in front of my house with Two Bits and Soda in it. I saw Soda's face. He looked hurt. I knew why. I had messed up pretty bad. But I've done it for the better. The kid need to stop showing so damn much emotion. He ought to be strong and hard if he wants to survive. Being all romantic and dreamy will get him no where. He ought to know that. But he couldn't become hard and strong if Soda and Darry and now even Two bits protecting him like he was made of crystal. I don't hate the kid. Really I don't. That's why I'm doing this. I only want to protect him. That's why I'm willing to let go of my best friend. If that's not a proof that I care about him. Well fuck it.

A.N: Another chapter. Yes i want to thank you all for the review its really nice. I'm trying to work fast but I'm really busy right now. But don't worry I'm not done yet. And there's more to come. Next Chapter : Pony's return.
