okay here it is ch.4
--------------------
Ponyboy's POV
"Sam, come on wake up!" I said grumpily, trying to wake my older sister up.
"I don't feel good. Leave
me alone. " she muttered in the pillow, so I
could barley
understand her.
"Darry!" I yelled
"Stop yelling!" Sam yelled, turned over, and sat up.
"What's wrong?" Darry said, coming through the door
"Sam's sick."
Darry came over to her and felt her forehead
"Yeah, fever. Stay in bed,
Sammy. Want me to bring you
anything?"
"No," Sam grubbed, and laying back down, "I'm going back to sleep."
We both left Sam's room to find Dally, Johnny, and Two-Bit on the couch.
"SODA, COME ON!" Steve yelled annoyed.
"I'm coming," Soda called, walking into the living room
"Guys be quiet.
Sam's sick and check on her every once in a while 'kay,
Pone?"
Darry instructed as he, Soda, and Steve walked out the
door.
"Okay Dar." I replied.
After they left
I told the gang about Sam, then went to Sam's room to tell her
we
were going walking. She was drawing, she loves to draw, and she's
pretty good
at it, too.
"Hey, Sam?" I asked cautiously.
"Yeah, Pony?"
"Me and the
guys are gonna go walk around. I thought you said you were goin'
back
to bed?"
"I couldn't sleep; I'll be fine here alone Pony. Tell the gang I said 'hi'."
"Okay, need me to bring ya anything?"
"No I'm fine."
"''Kay, bye"
"Bye," I called as I closed Sam's door.
We left the house and walked to the lot. Dally saw Tim
Shepard and left to go
talk to him, Two-Bit found girls, so me and
Johnny sat down.
"Hey man, can I tell ya somethin'?" Johnny said, sounding nervous.
"Yeah, sure, what's up?"
"I," he paused, and then continued quietly," I like Sam."
"What?" I exclaimed, shocked, and then asked. "My sister Sam?"
He nodded, sheepishly. Then I added, "Like, like her?"
"Yeah, I
think so, man," he said, I knew he was nervous, he was talking
about
my sister," you, ya ain't mad are ya?" he looked
worried.
I thought for a second, I always had known he had
liked her. It took a lot
for him to tell me this, too. I finally
answered, "Nah man, I ain't mad."
"Good,"
he sighed in relief " don't tell her, I'm probably not even
gonna tell
her, not now, not ever."
"Ya should,"
I stated truthfully. I don't mind that he likes her, as long as
it's
him and not some guy that's bad for her.
Two-bit came back over to us, " Hey guys, lets get outa here."
We
all went back to my house and I checked on Sam. She said she felt
better so
she came back and hung out with us in the living
room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later that night~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone
left and Sam went back to bed on Darry's orders. I was sitting in
bed
thinkin' about Johnny and Sam, when Soda came in.
"What's wrong, Pony?"
"Nothin'" I lied, laying back on the mattress.
"Don't seem like nothing," Soda stated, sitting down on the bed.
I sighed and sat up," If I tell ya you cant tell anyone else, not Sam, not
anyone."
He did a long whistle, "Must be somethin' important then"
"Not
really, but kinda." I looked him straight in the eye and said"
Johnny
likes Sam."
We sat there staring at each other.
He laid down and seconds later. I was
laid back down, too.
"Wow, " he said in shock "well, better him than some Soc or somethin'"
Sam's POV
I heard Pony talking to Soda as I walked past their room
I heard
him sigh then say, " If I tell ya you cant tell anyone else, not
Sam
, anyone."
Okay, I had to hear this, " Johnny likes Sam."
Oh, my God, I thought to myself.
I went into my room and laid down. I learned three things today:
1. Johnny likes me
2, I just might like him back
3. Soda didn't mind and neither did Pony
I fell asleep smiling that night.
