Chapter 15: Goodbye Broken Arrow (Darry's Point of View)

Skywriter left an hour ago to go pick up his things. He looked real tired this morning and refused to eat. I didn't want to force him to either, so I just dropped it. When Kate came to pick him up, she tried to act all happy and excited, asking about how he slept and how he liked it here. He barely said two words to her through, which gives me the impression that he's not exactly thrilled about this move. It sucks, but I can't blame him. Especially after his comment last night. I can't imagine what it must feel like to know that you're a product of an affair, and that neither of your parents want you. It must be hard. Harder than being an orphan anyways. I just can't help but think about how Dad called him his son though. He wanted me to find his son. Maybe, he just didn't want me to find out about the affair.

"Lexan already gone?" Pony asks, coming into the kitchen and taking out the chocolate cake.

"Yeah, left 'bout an hour ago. You two get along?" I ask. I'm curious as to how the two of them will relate. Them being so different and all.

"Yeah. He likes to read and draw too." He says. "I feel real bad about waking him up though." I could tell Pony was pretty embarrassed by it last night, With Sky's comment about waking the neighborhood up, but I know he didn't mean nothing by it. That's just how Sky's like. Joy I'm lookin' forward to it.

"Don't worry 'bout it. He understands. I'm enrolling him in school Monday, so you think you and Two-bit can make sure he stays outta trouble?" I ask. I don't even want to think about how he'll react to a new school.

"Darry, I don't think anyone can make sure he's stays outta trouble. I would be surprised if he actually stays at school at all. He'll probably ditch it as soon as we're out the door." Pony answers. Shit. I hadn't thought about that.

"Oh no he won't." I answer instead. "Cause I'm gonna drive em' there and have Two-bit picl em' home. That way I'll know if he goes or not."

"Yeah but he'll be in the middle school Darry. What if Two-bit has plans that doesn't involve picking up twelve year olds from school?" He asks, finishing his cake. I think about this before answering.

"Two-bit doesn't have a life. He won't mind."

Skywriter's Point of View

It took me nearly three hours to pack up all my shit and get it loaded into the car. After last night I'm not exactly jumping for joy about going back. I'm not sure how much screamin' in the middle of the night I can handle. But I already promised Kate, and she already had my files transferred over to Tulsa Middle School. God the thought of going to back to another middle school annoys me. A buncha stupid kids that don't know how to tie their own shoes.

"So…this is for real?" Danny asks me. I'm takin' down all the posters off my walls and throwin' them away. No point in keeping them anymore.

"Yes Danny, this is for real. And I swear if you ask me that one more time I'm gonna knock your teeth out." I answer. Jeez this kid.

"Well, I just can't believe it. First you tell me you're gonna go visit three brothers you never knew you had, then you come back the next day, sayin' you're movin' in with em'. What am I supposed to say?" He answers back defensively. I throw my hands up.

"I don't know Daniel. I didn't leave with the intention of movin' there, but Darry wanted me to, and Kate wanted me to, and hell, I didn't have that much of a choice in the matter. Besides, at least I have Dally." I say, trying to convince myself as well as him.

"Yeah but what about me? What about Chris?" He asks. Chris is my girlfriend. You can only imagine her reaction when I told her about movin'. "We'll be over an hour away from you! We'll hardly ever get to see you! Besides, Darry was so stiff that time he came over! I mean, he was suck a prick, askin' you-"

"Hey, look, I know Darry is stiff. But don't go callin' names, cause then I gotta stick up for him." I answer, trying to sound casual. He just looks at me.

"I'm just sayin', that's he's my brother, so if anyone's gonna be callin' em' a prick, it's gonna be me." I explain quietly.

"Oh my God, you actually like this guy! I can't believe it! You're actually stickin' up for him-" Danny exclaims. I let out an annoyed sigh and light a cigarette.

"Just shut up and make yourself useful. Carry this box out to the car." I say, changing the subject quickly. I walk out to the car, followed by Danny, and stare at the neighborhood around me.

"Goodbye Broken Arrow." I mutter, just loud enough for me to hear.
