Its the following day. Darry's pov
"Get up you two." I said to my little brothers. "Were up." they whined. They hate getting up early in the morning. "Come on hurry up you go to school Soda and Ponyboy you are staying here with Johnny." I informed them. They got up and got dressed and met me in the kitchen. "Here." I said handing them both chocholate cake. We ate rather quickly and I was off with Soda, who I dropped off at school.
Johnny's POV
"Hey Ponyboy you wanna watch some cartoons?" I asked the small boy. " No." He repled. He came over to me and crawled into my lap. "whats up?" I asked him. " The roof and the sky." he replyed. I wonder who taught him that. " Whens Darry comeing home?" Ponyboy asked. "In a few hours when he gets off work." I assured him. He did not looked assured but he just shook his head confirming he understood.
" What do you want to do?" I asked him. He remained silent. I was in for a long day I could already tell. I will do this everyday if I have to if it helps Darry out. "Want me to read you a story?" I asked sure he would want me to. He shook his head no. Tears started streaming down is face. "Whats wrong?" I asked. " I miss my mommy and dady." he cryed. " I know, its okay i'm here." I comforted. It took a lot of my energy to calm him down. I fell sorry for them looseing but their parents at an early age.
Not long after POnyboy calmed down that he fell asleep in my arms. I layed him on his bed and walked back in to the liveing room to watch tv while he slept. I turned the volume down so I could hear if Pony woke. :ahhhhhhh!" I heard a scream comein from Pony's room. I ran up to his room as fast as i could a took the small child in my arms trying to calm him.
" Did you have a nightmare?" I asked. He shook his head slightly TO let me no I guessed right. "What happened in the dream?" I asked. " I don't remember, but it ws scary." he sobbed. I held him close and took him to the liveing room to watch tv. He sat on me quitly trying to keep focus on the tv, which he felled to do. I did not know what to say to him so I remained quit as well just watching him.
