Chapter 7 - Thoughts
*** Sodapop's POV ***
No one said anything on the car ride home. I guess no one knew what to say. It felt to me as if I lost another person I loved like I did with Johnny, Dally, Mom and Dad. Ponyboy changed and now he is far away in another state trying to help. I missed him already and hope he will come home soon. It hurt that he didn't even hug Darry and I good-bye. I wanted to feel him in my arms on last time.
** Darry's POV **
I guess Pony must have been too upset by not hugging me or Sodapop good- bye. I was more surprised he didn't hug Sodapop bye. I knew that must have hurt Sodapop something awful. I know Ponyboy is mad at me, I was suppose to take care of him, look out for him and I failed. He should be at home, reading like he always does or going to a movie but no he is on his way to a school for troubled kids. I winced at the thought of it. Ponyboy isn't a trouble kid. As I think back in the years he was a quiet kid, that cared a lot about his family, friends and school. He got good grades, stayed out of trouble but look where and what he is now. Ponyboy really didn't change after mom and dad's death. He was more quiet than usual, and I know he was hurting just as much as me and Sodapop but when Johnny and Dally died it was like he lost everything in the world, he did drugs. Drugs......that would be that last thing in my mind that would ever come toward Ponyboy's way. I remembered the past weeks I would find him passed out in the lot or our porch. It was a nightmare and I felt as if I didn't have control over him anymore, as if I lost him, as if it was my fault that Ponyboy turned this way. I was suppose to care for him, raise him but I failed.
*** Two-Bit's POV ***
I missed the kid already. He was my friend and it hurt a lot to see him hurt himself like he was with the drugs. I never even thought about drugs, never took it once. I was against it. I didn't want him to go, I thought the gang were the only people that can help him but It was hard to even talk to him now. Maybe going to that school with help Ponyboy and bring back the Ponyboy everyone loved.
*** Steve's POV ***
Sodapop didn't say anything on the way home. I was shocked that Ponyboy didn't hug him bye or even wave bye. He and Soda have always been close, also tagging along with me and Soda. Everyone knows I really don't like the kid, and it is the truth but it doesn't mean I don't care about him a lot. When I founded out that he was using drugs I was mad. How could that kid be so stupid? Now look were he put himself, at some school for stupid messed up kids.
