Darry's POV
I stood checking people out holding Ponyboy. "What a cute kid. Is he your son?" A womaen around my age who was checking out asked.
"Thanks! He is my brother."I said. "Doing your parents a favor?" she asked trying to be friendly. "In away I got costudy over them." I answered. "They were uncapable of takeing care of them any longer?" she asked. "In away you can say that. They died in a car accident." I said. I very much hated getting on the subject of my parents.
She looked at my name tag I have to wear on my shirt. "Hey your Darry. I'm Linda. We were friends through school." she said. "Oh my gish! Long time no see. How have you been?" I asked. "I've been okay. Now any ways." She answered.
"I'm glad." I said. "Is that Sodapop? I excepected him to be older? she asked. "No this is my other younger brother Ponyboy. Soda is at hom with Twobit and Johnny." I answered. "Oh! Hi Ponyboy!"she said to my kid kid brother. "Hi" Ponyboy said quitly.
"I have a son who's a little younger then him. He's five. I am a single mother Chris's dad left and we divorced. Chris is my son's name." Linda said.
"Maybe we can meet up tommorrow at the arcade and let my brothers meet your son and we can talk. I don't know about Soda he has been acting up lately. I will have to keep an eye on him. Actually I just grounded him from chochlate not to long agoe so maybe he'll learn."I said.
"Seems like you have your arms full with your brothers." she said. " Sometimes" I said. "Well i'll meet you at the arcade at four in the after noon tommorrow." I said handing her the stuff she just bought. "Have a good day." I called after her.
"I'm hungry."Pony whispered."Lunch is in ten minutes." I assured him. When the lunch bell rung I took Pony to the back room to get our lunches. We ate luch quickly. After finishing up our lunched we had fifteen minutes before I had to go back to work. I took Ponyboy outfront so he can play a little and stretch his legs.
The rest of the work day was not hard. I had check out the whole day. I was relieved thier were hardly any customors to check out. Ponyboy slept with his head on my shoulder most of the time.
We went home as soon as the day ended. I walked in to find Twobit passed out and Johnny hevily breath and tierd sitting on the couch. "What up?" I asked. "Your brother kept hitting and kicking us and running arounthe house." Johnny answered. "I'm sorry i'll make it up to you I promise. I really appreciate it." I said. I handed him Ponyboy who was half awake and half asleep.
I went to my brothers room to try and find Soda. Soda was siting on his bed. "Sodapop Patrik Curtis!I yelled. He looked up at me. "You better cut the crap. You know how to behave first your brother and now them. You are staying in here for along time."I said before leaveing.
I walked downstairs to find Johnny and Pony asleep. Johnny was on the couch and Ponyboy was on top of him. I crept to the kitchen trying not to wake them.
A little later they all were awake. Ponyboy was playing cars with Johnny and Twobit. They were all raceing thier cars. I fixed dinner we all ate. I made Soda stay in his room and eat. After dinner I gave Ponyboy a bath and cleaned on the kitchen. After Twobit and JOhnny left to hang out for a while Pony came to the kitchen. "Darry will you play with me?" he asked. "Not right now." I answered. " Okay" he said exiting.
I let Pony sleep with me because I was weary of wht Soda would do. The next morning I got up and fixed breakfast. I let my brothers sleep since I did not work to day.
authors note- Read the next chapter to see how Ponyboy and Soda get along with Chris. Sorry its not the longest chapter I know. I hope you enjoyed it though.
