Chapter 4:The gang finds out….
Darry POV
I couldn't believe it! My parents, whom I was just messing around with today, less than 3 hours ago and now we'll never see them again. I really guess the saying, " You don't know what you have until you've lost it," Is true, Very true. I would have done so many things, re-done things I've messed up, to get Mom and Dad back.
To name some incidents that I've faltered to forget, Mistakes I have made and the many arguments I've had with my parents…
When I was 14 years old, About Pony's age, I had S (e) x with my ex- girlfriend Dianna May. We thought it was love, but it was just puppy love. Just puppy love… I screamed at mom and dad and told them that they were wrong and I hated them.
The next, similar… my girlfriend got pregnant and when she told me, she was 5 weeks in… we talked about it and all seemed well until she got an abortion behind my back and we broke up. Mama and Dad found out and went off at me.
Another was when I told Ponyboy he was a piece of shit and was worth nothing. Pony was only 7 and I 13. Mom told me to go to my room but before anyone went up them steps, I said, " Go to hell!" I have a verrrrry bad temper!
People always thought I was the best child but I was probably a little like Dally. Over the years, I did straighten up, as you can see even though I am still hot under the collar (bad tempered). Nobody but my family and close friends know about those fights like Pony, Soda, and Johnny. Two- bit knows too but not Steve, he did not know us yet cause him and Soda met when they were 10.
So here I am still staring at the ceiling from Dad's recliner. Suddenly a couple voices and bang from the front door, I didn't look up though and just sat still.
" Hey Dar! What are you doing?" Two-bit asked walking in. I said nothing and blankly looked into his laughing eyes with my ice cold ones. His smile soon turned into wide eyes.
" Oh no. Darry, what happened?" Steve asked. I felt tears brimming my eyes but I won't dare let them fall.
" Mom and Dad… their car stalled on the tracks… they- they didn't make it…" I said stiffly stammering a little bit.
" WHAT! Where's, where's Sophia? If she was with them-" Dallas trailed off saying every cuss under the sun. He has always had a soft spot for Sophie. that poor baby will grow up not knowing her parents. What a shame…
" No. She's sleeping in her crib right now, Pony's in his room, Johnny, if you want to go see him… I'll be back; I have to identify the bodies…
