Pony had not said one word as he cleaned the glass up from the floor, or as Darry tried desperately to calm their hysterical brother down and bandage his wounds. He didn't even say anything when Darry had to take Soda to bed and lay down with him just to get him to go back to sleep. Pony now sits on the couch in their living room, simply staring off into space toward the direction of the bathroom, thinking about what Soda had done.
Darry looks back at Soda with sad eyes after he had gotten up off of the bed he shares with Pone. The strongest greaser in the gang hesitates before a little guiltily walking out of the bedroom and over to the living room after seeing his youngest brother and the expression that was on his face.
Ponyboy looks over after hearing someone walk into the room and watches as Darry sits down in his chair. He carefully studies the expression on his brother's face, trying hard to figure out what he must be thinking right now.
Darry looks away from Pony, not wanting to see the scared expression on his little brother's face any longer and doesn't want to think about his own fears as he says quietly almost in a whisper, "It's really late now Pone and you have school in the morning."
Ponyboy stared at him at he says this, taking the hint Darry was trying to throw at him and hesitates a little before getting up off of the couch and making his way over towards the room he shares with his other brother.
Darry looks over at Pony when he hears him get up and watches him go for a moment before saying with a small sigh," Soda's really bad off Pone. I-… I don't know what to do."
Ponyboy almost bitterly looks down at the hardwood floor as he says this and shakes his head a little to himself before saying bluntly, "There's nothing we can do Darry." And with that he walks off into the darkness of the bedroom he shares with Soda, leaving his eldest brother behind alone with his worried thoughts.
Here's chapter seven. I know that it's another short one. Sorry about that … I'll be trying to write longer chapters next time. I'd like to thank Steph36 for commenting! Comments are always welcome and they always help me to write =)
