I don't own the Outsiders Thanks again for all your reviews. I greatly appreciate them
Sandy lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. Her stomach was churning again she wasn't sure how much longer she could cope with this. Her mother was calling her from downstairs and she sounded angry.It was half eight on a saturday morning why was she waking her up so early. Sandy walked slowly down scared she would throw up there and then but she managed to swallow hard and stood in front of her mother. she'd sent teh younger children outside so Sandy knew it was serrious.
"Where you involved in this fight last night?" She asked.
Sandy looked confused and shocked. Her eyes went huge, how could she have known. Then she saw Darry sitting on the couch. What was he doing here. Why did he tell her mother about the fight anyway. Darry was staring at his feet like a naughty schoolboy waiting outside the headmaster's office.
"W-w-what fight."
"Don't act all innocent with me young lady." She continued. Then she turned to Darry and sighed. "and you should keep your brothers under control. Fighting in the street like hoods. They should be in care."
"Hey." Darry blazed angrily. Nobody insulted his brothers like that, they were good boys. "It aint Soda's fault the Socs like to jump us." Then realising who he was speaking too he added. "Ma'me" Remembering his mother wouldn't have approved him speaking to someone like that.
Sandy watched the scene her blue eyes went huge at the way Darry spoke to her mother. She secretly wished she could stand up to her like that too.
"Darry came by to see if you were alright." Margaret said ignoring his outburst completely.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks." Sandy said quietly.
Margaret nodded and turned to Darry. " You heard her. Sandy see him out." Darry stood up head bowed. How could someone who was just like him make him feel like something she had scraped off her shoes. Why did she speak to him like that. Sandy walked him out touched by what he'd just done.
"I came to tell you that Soda was fine." He said. " A few cracked ribs but otherwise he's fine."
"Good I was worried about him."
"Why didn't you come around last night Sandy if you were worried." Darry's eyes were colder towards her now.
"I couldn't I felt sick. Darry I came home last night and fell asleep."
Darry sighed and nodded.
"What about everyone else?" Sandy asked.
"Two Bit's got a concussion and is still in hospital. Everyone else is fine just cuts and bruises."
"My ma aint gonna let me anywhere near Soda now you know."
Darry smiled now softing towards her. He had to admitt he liked her. He could see what Soda saw in her.
"Yeah sorry about that. She tricked me into it. She has this way doesn't she"
Sandy laughed softly. If only he knew. "Yeah she really does. She only has to look at you and you confess. She should work for the fuzz"
"She's got one thing right Sandy I should take more control of the boys"
Sandy laughed at that. " If you had any more control over Pony the kid would be locked in his room all day."
They both heard Margaret call and Sandy threw her eyes skyward and sighed deeply. It was nice talking to Darry she never saw this side of him anytime she saw him he was stressing over something or yelling at Ponyboy.
Darry wasn't sure why he was able to speak to the girlfriend of his sixteen year old brother but there was just something about her she seemed older and not so caught up with herself or something. He felt sorry for her too her mother was really hard on thoes kids but then again she was only trying to do her best.
Darry smiled and touched Sandy's arm. "Good luck" He sighed. "I gotta head to work anyway."
Sandy nodded and walked back inside. She had to admitt the fresh air had made her feel a lot better. Darry was going to hate her soon enough. She was going to have to tell soon.
I know I know I'm dragging it out but you'd be surprised how long you can hid a pregancy for. And Darry was a bit OOC. But I like to make him a bit more human.
