Hey! Sooooooo sorry I took so long to update…FINALLY summer and I'll have more time now! So, here it is (in Pony's POV):
I was sitting in the kitchen drinking a Pepsi when I heard Darry call me.
"In the kitchen!" I called, knowing he was going to come in there and yell about my homework.
"Listen…" He started walking up. "About your composition-" Told ya!
"I did it." I cut him off with a sigh.
"I know…" Darry said. "I read it." He what? Oh my G-d, oh my G-d, oh my G-d, no! If my face reflected my feelings…then I looked like I was dying. Oh, G-d!
"You-you what?" I stuttered. Darry sat down next to me.
"Pon," He said, his tone surprisingly much softer than usual. "You really think I hate you?" I didn't answer. What could I say! Wow, that floor's cool…
"Pony." Darry sighed. The floor remained the object of my interest.
"Pony," Darry said again. "Pony, I don't hate you! Far from it! I gave everything up for you! I do not hate you!" Yeah right.
'Yeah, you gave it all up for Soda.' I thought. What did he think, I was stupid? I know who he cares about! And it ain't me!
Suddenly, Darry began to cry. What the hell? Darry crying!
"Darry?" I asked in surprise. He could not be crying! He didn't even cry when Mom and Dad died! But he did cry that day that I came back home…maybe Darry did care about me. I suddenly remembered the same thought crossing my mind that very day…
"Ponyboy, I'm so sorry!" Darry hugged me. What the hell is going on! "You're my baby brother, I love you! I'm sorry I made you think I hated you! I'm sorry I hit you that day!" Oh…that's why he's so sad? I stood up and hugged him back. "I just wanted you to have a good life!" Darry kept rambling. "That's why I was so hard on you!"
"I'm sorry, Dar." I said meekly. I suddenly realized, for real this time, why Darry was the way he was. He really did care about me! And he only wanted what was best. How could I have ever thought that he hated me! He loves me! "I made it so hard on you; I should've realized why you were doing all this. I shoulda known you only love me." I said. Darry hugged me tighter. We stood there for a really long time. Just hugging. Secretly agreeing to resolve our feuding.
Chapter two is done! Next chapter will be in Soda's POV, if you want.
