Chapter 15
Anyone's POV
The Curtis brothers, along with Steve and Two-bit, finally made it to the Curtis' house. Two-bit helped Pony as they all went inside. Two-bit helped Pony sit on the couch as Darry asked him if he wanted anything.
"No." Pony said and curled up into a ball on the couch, wrapping his arms around his knees. Two-bit sat next to Pony and Pony looked at him. Two-bit looked back at him and asked, "Would it be okay if I turned on the TV?"
Pony shook his head then closed his eyes and buried his face in his knees. Two-bit sighed a bit then looked over at Darry, who was in his recliner. Soda and Steve were talking in the kitchen.
Darry looked at Two-bit then Ponyboy. Two-bit looked at Pony again then turned on the TV, but made sure that the volume was on low. Pony leaned on an armrest on one of the sides of the couch and stayed curled in a tight ball.
Two-bit turned on Mickey Mouse while Darry went into the kitchen. Pony uncurled from a ball a little bit and rested his head on the armrest but kept his eyes closed. Soda and Steve came into the living room since Darry was now in the kitchen. Steve sat on the floor while Soda sat down on the couch on the other side of Two-bit because there was the most room.
"Hey Two-bit, is he asleep?" Soda asked Two-bit quietly and looked at Pony. Two-bit looked over at Pony as well. "Pony?" Two-bit asked quietly. Pony made no movement, and did nothing to react to Two-bit's voice. "Yeah, seems like it." Two-bit told Soda.
Soda nodded. "I might go put him to bed so he can sleep better." Soda said and got up. Two-bit nodded and watched. Soda went over to Pony and slipped his arms under Pony's legs and back, and gently lifted him up off of the couch. He carried Pony into the hallway and was about to take Pony into his room, but stopped. Instead, he took Pony into his own room, the very room that he had kicked Pony out of.
Soda gently laid Pony on the bed and covered him up. He felt bad for making Pony go to his old room when he kicked him out earlier.
"Goodnight Pony." Soda whispered and left his room, closing the door quietly behind him.
Soda went back out to the living room and sat down on the couch next to Two-bit. Darry came into the living room again and looked around. "Where's Pony?"
"He's sleeping in my room." Soda said.
Darry looked at him and smiled a bit before sitting down in his recliner again.
Everyone froze when they heard a scream.
I'm sorry for another very short update but please review. I hope you enjoyed it, and I'm working on next chapter right now.
