Letter draft my
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I do not own the outsiders!
Curtis household after Sodapop hung up. (Dally and Johnny didn't go to 'Nam yet.)
3rd person P.O.V
Sodapop glumly hung up the phone and walked back to the couch where the gang was minus Darry. He sat down and his best buddy, Steve a greaser with greased up complicated swirls of hair, dealed him in for the next game of poker.
Two-bit was sitting down on the rug in front of the television with a plate of chocolate cake- and I mean a whole cake not a slice- on his lap and a half emptied bottle of beer in his hand. He hasn't changed at all. The other greasers did though. Dally was even more cold hearted than he used to be. Johnny was less scared but more tough.
Steve was more jealous of the youngest greaser getting the attention of his older brother, Sodapop, who was his best friend. Darry worked more and more each day. He hasn't even talked to Sodapop in three days! Lastly how Sodapop has changed. He was the most changed. He became more serious and less playful. His gorgeous handsome face became paler and had bags under his brown eyes. Those brown eyes weren't even dancing anymore. They were stormy and dull.
Ponyboy doesn't even know the gang changed. He thinks they're still the fun loving, drunken hoods he left months ago. Boy was he going to have a cow when he comes home. That's if he even does come home.
The only sound in the house was the cards slamming on the table. Then a rusty old pick-up truk was heard going up the drive way. A few minutes later a tired looking Darry came in with two creamy colored envelopes.
"Dal, Johnnycakes these are for you." Darry said in a monotone and headed into the kitchen and opened the fridge to get out a beer.
Oh did I mention that Darry is a drunk now? The whole fridge is almost all the way filled of beer bottles, wine, and alcohol. He even is into drugs too. Once in a while he comes home with a paper bag full of weed. Some days he comes home with a syringe full of heroin.
Dally P.O.V
When Darry handed me that envelope I thought it was from Ponyboy. But then I took a second look. I ripped it open and started reading:
To: Mister Dallas Winston
Greetings:
You are hereby ordered for induction into the Armed Forces of the United States, and to report at Tulsa headquarters on Thursday, March 12 at 9:00 a.m. sharp for forwarding to an Armed Forces Induction Station.
Sincerely,
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
I looked over at Johnny's letter and saw his letter was the same. We go to headquarters the same day. Great, just great. I still remember tht day in the courthouse:
Flash Back
Dallas Winston and Jonathon Cade, I hereby announce that you two gentlemen will serve the war going on at Vietnam. Jonathon Cade, your charges of the murder cases with Mister Bob Sheldon will be erased when you get your letter. Dallas Winston your charges with robbing a local grocery store and pulling out a gun at an officer will be erased when you get your letter. Am I understood?" Said the judge
."Yes Sir." Johnny and I said.
"Good. Court dismissed."
End of Flash Back.
"I guess our records are clean now, huh Johnny?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
A/M: Soo? How was this? I know its kind of short. Don't kill me. *hides under my pillow* There will be more soon, especially during the summer! R&R my lovely readers!
Good night!
