Chapter 7-

Darry, Sodapop, Ponyboy, and Tiffany walked into the Curtis house, Tiffany with a bag of clothes in her hand.

The living room was messy, and all of Ponyboy's homework was on the couch, and Darry's roofing equipment was still by the door.

"Anyone else want some chocolate cake?" asked Sodapop.

"I definitely do!" said Ponyboy, following Sodapop into the kitchen.

"What about you Tiffany?" asked Sodapop, taking out the cake from the refrigerator.

"Ummm, not now. I'm still full from Dairy Queen." She said, finding a space on the couch.

"Pony, come and move your homework." Yelled Darry from his armchair. Darry turned on the tv, and started to watch it.

Ponyboy came into the living room and put his homework away.

"Did you finish your homework Pony?" asked Darry.

"Not exactly." Yelled Ponyboy from his room. "I still have Algebra to do."

"I suggest you finish it tonight." Said Darry.

"I'll do it at the table." Yelled Ponyboy.

"What about you Dar?" asked Sodapop. "Would you like a piece of cake?"

"No thanks kiddo." Said Darry.

Ponyboy came back out into the living room with his Algebra homework in his arms. He sat down at the table, Sodapop handed him a piece of cake.

"Are you guys sure you don't want a piece of cake?" asked Sodapop for a final time.

"Yes I'm sure Soda," said Darry rather annoyingly. "Now would you be quite and let me watch tv?!"

Everyone was silent. Darry doesn't usually yell at Sodapop, but for the past month he has been doing it more.

"What's happening to ya Dar?" asked Sodapop, "You used to never watch tv, and now your yelling at me to shut up so you can watch it? What's happened to you?"

Sodapop took his cake with him, and stormed to his room. Darry followed.

"Sodapop, baby I'm sorry." He yelled after him.

Darry and Soda were arguing in Ponyboy and Sodapop's room. Ponyboy hated to hear them fight. He started to know how it felt like to be Sodapop, watching Darry and him yell at each other.

"Things have changed so much." Said Tiffany.

"Yeah, they have." Agreed Ponyboy.

"Two-Bit hasn't been himself for the past month." Exclaimed Tiffany. "He's usually not at home, and when he is, he's either drunk, or just really tired. And he used to love school, but then he drops out. All because they died."

"I know what you mean." Said Ponyboy. "I mean listen to those two, yelling like that. They used to never fight, it's usually me and Darry that fight like that. Now Darry's watching more tv, and he used to hate tv, and Sodapop is staying at work for the longest times. I just wish they never did die."

"And now Two-Bit's in the hospital, just laying there, not moving, or even opening his eyes. It's just…just…" said Tiffany. Then she started to cry again.

Ponyboy turned around, and saw Tiffany crying there. He got up and sat down next to her, putting his arm around her again.

"Tiffany, Tiffany." He said. "You don't have to go and act all strong. It's okay to be afraid. Don't worry."

Darry and Sodapop came back into the room, and saw Tiffany crying, and came to her side.

"Tiffany, don't cry, Two-Bit will be okay. He's going to wake up don't worry." Said Darry, putting his arm around Tiffany's other shoulder.

"You promise?" sobbed Tiffany.

"We'll…I can't put a promise on that, but I do believe he will." Said Darry.

"Thanks Darry." Sobbed Tiffany. She hugged Darry and cried into his shoulder. Ponyboy and Sodapop joined Tiffany.

"Are you guys trying to suffocate me?" asked Darry about five minutes later.

Everyone laughed and let go of Darry. His hair was messed up, and sticking up in odd directions.

"Okay I think it's time we all went to bed." Said Darry. "It's been a long day. Pony you done with that homework?"

"No." said Ponyboy, heading back over to the table.

"You can finish it tomorrow." Said Darry. "But heads up to both of you. I want the house looking nice for Patricia tomorrow, so you'll be doing some cleaning. I'll help too."

"Hey Darry where am I sleeping?" asked Tiffany.

"Um, do you mind sleeping on the sofa?" asked Darry. "I'll give you some extra blankets."

"Oh not at all." Said Tiffany. "I'll just go and get changed."

Tiffany grabbed her bag of clothes and headed for the bathroom.

"Okay guys, there's a girl in the house, so no walking around in your underwear tomorrow morning all right?" said Darry.

"Okay we got you Darry." Said Sodapop. "See you in the morning Dar."

"Night kiddo." Said Darry.

Sodapop left for his bedroom.

"Hey Ponyboy where is the extra blankets?" asked Darry.

"In the closet." Exclaimed Ponyboy, picking up his homework.

Darry headed for the closet, just as Tiffany came out of the bathroom.

"I'll see you in the morning Tiffany." Said Ponyboy

"See you Ponyboy." Said Tiffany.

Ponyboy headed for his room. Sodapop was already in bed.

"Ponyboy! Turn off that light!" he moaned.

Ponyboy turned off the light and joined Sodapop in bed.

"Hey Sodapop." Ponyboy asked.

"What do you want Ponyboy, I'm really tired." Said Sodapop.

"Do you really think Two-Bit will be okay?" Ponyboy asked.

"I'm not sure, I'm not a doctor. It's hard to say." Said Sodapop.

"Okay then, I was just wondering." Said Ponyboy. "Night Soda."

"Night Kiddo." Yawned Sodapop. And together both Ponyboy and Sodapop drifted off to sleep.
