"Get up Ponyboy," Darry said. The house was silent. I walked into the living room wondering where everyone was. I started to ask but I noticed Sodapop's memorial invation on the table beside a candle.
"When did you set this up?" I asked. Darry looked at me with tears in his eyes.
"He would've been 17. He just wanted us to let him know he wasn't alone. We didn't do that. Oh lord Pony he was never alone. You are never alone. Just remember that please?" Darry said with tears streaming down hs face. His voice cracked a couple times.
"How long do you think he was hiding this?" I asked.
"I don't know Pony," He said sitting on the couch in front of the memorial.
"I never liked Steve but I hope he's doing okay. He's probably taking it hard that he can't go to work and pretend he forgot Soda's birthday until Soda is almost off the clock like he always used to," I said. He later told me that even though Soda wasn't physically there he did it anyways. I knew there was something I liked about Steve. I realised it was because we wer so alike. We never let things go easily.
"So Pony, what are gonna write about?" Darry asked picking up Soda's picture. I knew then that I wouldn't be writing about ghosts. I'd be writing about my brother Sodapop. I'd be writing about Johnny. I'd be writing about getting drunk with Two-bit.
"I think I'm gonna write about Soda," I said.
"That's great Pony, let me read it when you are done," Darry smiled.
I picked up a notebook and started to write. Tomorrow was the due date and I needed to send this in. I couldn't figure out where to start it though so I thought back on what had just happened. When I thought the peices fit perfectly into place, I started like this: Darry parked in the back of the parking lot because of the embaressment the truck had caused him.
