Hey guys, I apologize again that last chapter was short. I just really wanted to get it up but I didn't want my computer to crash…it was meant to be much longer. SO, therefore, I'm posting chapter (which was supposed to be the rest of chapter one) tonight as well.
Here are my thank yous:
Horrorpop- Yeah, but this is post-book so it can work…except Dally and Johnny are alive so yeah.
x fever x- Thank you! Hey, I think I know something that might interest you. I co-wrote this other fic, it's called The Ones Forgotten. I think you'd like it. lol.
So here's chapter two:
Darry drove home, thinking the whole way. His family would never like this. Of course Soda would the most understanding but he still wouldn't want to. Soda would want to stay with Steve, his best friend. Pony would want to stay with Johnny, his best friend, and Onyx would want to stay with Dally, her boyfriend. But it would make him more money, it would be easier. But it would be hard to adjust. Maybe it wouldn't be easier. But maybe it would in the long run? But just how long would the long run be? Darry was just so confused. Darry arrived at his house and walked in. Pony and Johnny were talking; Steve and Soda were arm wrestling. Two-bit was watching TV, and Dally and Onyx, well, Dally and Onyx were just coming out of the bedroom. Darry sighed, he knew they hadn't been doing anything too bad in the bedroom, but he had come home to the exact reason no one would want to leave.
"Steve, Two-bit, Johnny, Dally," Darry began solemnly. "Can you guys come back in half an hour?" Everyone looked at Darry. He looked real serious, more than usual. The four left and the three remaining Curtises looked at Darry expectantly. Darry sat down heavily with a sigh.
"Guys," he said. "I got a job offer…one that'll pay really well."
"That's great, Darry!" Onyx said happily.
"Uh yeah…it's in Miami." Everyone just stared. Pony found words.
"Miami?" He asked. "I didn't know there was a Miami in Tulsa!" Sarcasm was dripping from his words. He got up and went to his room, slamming the door. Soda got up, looked back to Darry then followed Pony, partially to make him feel better.
"Onyx," Darry said. She shook her head. She could feel tears beginning to swell in her eyes. She had to leave? leave her friends? Leave her school? Leave Dally? At that final though, she stood and ran out the door.
Yeah, it's short, but that's because it's the other half of chapter one. In case you forgot that I said they have a sister, Onyx is her. Please review! Thanks!
