Hey guys! I realized I haven't updated in a while. I am updating all of my stories in honor of Ponyboy's birthday! This is a short chapter though. Warning their is abuse and swearing in this chapter. Enjoy!


Darry was getting annoyed with me. I refused to remember Cherry. Two-Bit said to give me some time and Darry backed off. If I don't remember I won't feel the pain. I eventually got to go home from the hospital on strict orders for no physical activity. I hated that rule. I told the doctor that and luckily he said I can at most walk around the house for few minutes at a time. It wasn't much but at least it was something. Darry ordered me to go straight to bed when we got home and I am still here. He left for work a couple hours ago. I jump out of bed and turn on the radio, ignoring the fact the loud volume hurts my head. When I am sure nobody is in the living room I run threw it to the kitchen. After eating all of that disgusting hospital food I am starving! I pull out a piece of chocolate cake and nearly drop it when the door opens. I quickly put it back in the ice box and look for somewhere to hide.

" Hey brat! Darry wanted me to check on you!" I heard Steve call out. Steve will tell on me for sure! I hide under the sink when Steve's footsteps get closer.

" Where are you Kid!" Steve yells obviously getting annoyed. I just kept quiet till I heard him leave. I am going to be in so much trouble! I quickly run into my room and slip into bed. I fall asleep till loud footsteps towards my room wake me up. Please don't be Darry! Unfortunately it is Darry and he doesn't look happy. Am I always going to be unlucky like this?

" Where were you earlier Ponyboy?" Darry yells in my face and pulls me out of bed. I pull and look away. Darry is pretty scary when he gets mad

" I was here D-Darry."

" No you fucking weren't! I had Steve come and check on you and you were not here! So I had to leave my job early for some brat who can't follow directions!" Darry shoves me away from him and I hit my head on the bed.

" I am sorry Darry... Please calm down. Your scaring me."

" Calm down? I have every right to be angry! I thought you were going to hurt your self! Why can't you just listen?" The next part felt like it was in slow motion. I stood up to say something to Darry and he knocked me back down with one punch. I didn't bother to get up when he left the room. Did Darry just hit me?


Okay please review and help me become a better writer! thanks for taking the time to read this!
