Ponyboy's P.O.V.

"I can't believe I just did that to Darry, what the hell is wrong with me. He's only trying to help me. As I lay on my bed looking up at the ceiling, I can detect Soda's voice trying to comfort Darry from me hurting him. I feel hot tears scolding down my face. As much as I try to wipe them, away fresh ones form in my eyes again. I turn over, face the window, and look at the moon coming through my window. I think back of the good times when Johnny and Dally were around. Johnny and I would go in the lot and look up at the sky when it was clear and you could see the moon like it is tonight. I don't know why I like the moon and stars so much, it's soothing to me I guess. I can remember being four years old and having a nightmare. I would run to my parents' bedroom, and start crying. Mom would open her eyes, see me crying and say what's the matter, my little Pony?" I would just sniffle until she picked me up and put me next to her in the bed. I then felt safe in my mother's arms. The last thing I remember seeing before drifting into sleep was the moon outside their window, and I smiled. God I miss mom and dad so much. Things were so much happier when they were around. I'm doing the same thing tonight looking at the moon as I did when I was four and with my parents. Before I fell asleep I looked up at the moon only this time I wasn't smiling I was crying."

The next morning I woke up, I looked over to my other side and saw Soda softly snoring beside me. He had his arm around me so I had to wriggle free from his grasp. I took a nice hot shower and put on a pair of jeans and t-shirt. I saw that Soda was still sound asleep I smiled a little he works too hard he needs rest, so does Darry. I went into his room and he was sound asleep as well. Looking at him made me think of the memory of last night and the way I yelled at him, I felt so awful. I went into the kitchen and started to prepare breakfast. I made eggs, sausage, bacon, and of course chocolate cake. I wanted to make a good breakfast this morning for my brothers. I felt so bad at the way I treated them.

I was done with breakfast and I had the plates, cups, and food all set out. I was reaching in the refrigerator for the grape jelly for the toast and (Soda loves it with his eggs.) When Soda appeared in the kitchen doorway.

"Mornin" he said. Then he looked at the table at all the food.

"Golly Pony, did you make all this it looks like a feast?"

"Sure did." I replied. Not long after that, Darry stood in the doorway. He looked at all the food on the table and just smiled me. After that, we all sat down and started eating. Everything was silent for along time before I saw Darry give Soda a look and he began to speak.

"You know guys I was thinking today's Saturday and I've actually got the day off and I was figurin we could do something today, you know like we used too. What do you guys think?" Darry asked looking at me and Soda.

"I think that is a great idea. We all need to get out of the house I've got the day off too. What do you think Pony?" Soda said looking at me and smiling that reckless grin of his. I also noticed that Darry was looking in my direction with a look of hope in his eyes.

"Sure, I don't see why not." I replied and the look on my brothers faces were as if you told them they won a million dollars. They were so happy. Who knows this day could be great. I know they want to help me and I've just been pushing them away. Maybe I do need help. I don't know anymore."
