DARRY POV
I looked around the house when we got back from the funeral. Angela seemed a little distant when we dropped her off. I was slowly pacing the carpet in my bedroom that I had fallen on when she first came here. I sighed and leaned back on my bed.
This room held so many memories of Angela and I. Her waking up, hair tousled all around her head looking like seaweed. The way she would always duck and hide from me when she wakes up. How she would yell at me every morning to get dressed in the bathroom or to not look at her when she had to change. Only this morning her accepting the ring I gave her and the little make out we had before that. The way she softly chanted some child's lullaby in her sleep the words lulling me back to sleep.
I was sprawled out on the bed lost in my memories of us when Pony trotted in. He came over and sat down on the edge of my bed. I grunted while sitting back and swinging my legs over the bed.
"Whadda ya need?" I asked ruffling his hair playfully. Pony scoffed and pulled my hand off of his still blonde hair.
"I know that you love her, but is she the right gal, Darry? Soda told me about the ring and how you swear that you'll marry her someday. Don't you remember Sandy? Soda thought the same thing and look how that ended up. Darry, I don't want that to happen to you." I felt my heart drop to some area around my stomach. Pony didn't want her in his life.
"You hate her?" I mentally chided myself for the crack in my voice. Pony looked at me through his hardened eyes and shook his head sharply. He opened his mouth gaping like a fish out of water, but I wrapped him in a bear hug. In the first seconds of it he sat stock-still. I patted his back and he eagerly put his arms around mine.
"Darrel I find that I am hungry." Soda playfully yelled from somewhere in the house. I let go of Pony and got up pulling my wallet off of the dresser. Pony ran out of my room screaming at a much to high pitch level that I had hugged him. Rolling my eyes I jogged out of my room and scooped Pony onto my shoulder and walked to the truck with Soda on my heels.
"So are we going to the Dingo since Avengela is working there?" Soda sang. I pushed him into the passenger door and kept driving. Damn Soda, how'd he know where I'd go, I thought. Soda just sat in the passenger seat chuckling to himself and talking in whispers to Pony.
TIME SKIP
I pulled into the parking lot of the Dingo, which was looking more beat up than ever. The farthest window on the right was still boarded up from that time Dally and a stranger got in a fight outside. I smiled and walked into the diner with Soda and Pony following me. A quick scan of the room and I chose our seats at one of the tables Angela serves. Soda pulled out a menu and tried to talk me into letting him only order two desserts. I had to tell him no twice and grab his collar more times than I could count so he wouldn't go up to the chef and order the two desserts.
"Hello, I'm Angela and I'll be your server today. What can I get for y'all?" She said without looking up.
"Well I'd like a burger with fries and you, baby." Soda joked. Angela's eyes shot up from her notebook and to Soda's grinning face. She huffed and rolled her eyes writing down something.
"Y'all want the usual?" She didn't have this accent, but it did make her even more attractive. I nodded and she smiled walking off making sure to swing her hips more than normal. Soda gave her a nice little whistle and I sank back into the seat happily. Things couldn't be that bad if she was joking around again.
"Hey, hey Darry? Is anybody home?" Pony sang.
"What no one's at our house. There better not be anyone there." I said starting to sit up more in my seat. Pony snorted and pushed me back down whispering something to Soda across the table. Just then Angela came with the meals.
"Here y'all go. Enjoy your meal." She said to everyone and then she leaned down to my ear, "I'm working late tonight, so if you could tell Jarrod to check in on the girls, I'd love you." With that she turned and walked of to another table. Pony kicked me under the table having heard what she said. I gave him a reproachful look and he coward back into his seat.
TIME SKIP
We were in the middle of lunch when Tim Shepard and his gang walked in. He had people cheering as they came in as if a rumble had just ended. Soda rolled his eyes but kindly bowed his head as they skipped passed us. They sat down in the two tables next to us. Angela walked out of the kitchen angrily, but quick curbed her hatred down to a grimacing smile.
"Hi what can I get you?" Her adorable accent was now missing and it made her seem so much colder.
"Come on baby, don't be snarky. I can make you happy." Chirped one of the guys. Everyone else at the table burst into laughter and fell onto each other. Angela just gritted her teeth and asked the question again. The guys all ordered some drink and flirted with her more. Soda cracked his knuckles and leaned forward ready to strike. I felt Pony tense up next to me and start to fidget waiting to be released. I rested back on the cushion of the seat trying and failing to look calm.
Tim leaned over to the restless guys and whispered loud enough for us to hear, "be nice, if I don't get this broad it's all your fault." I jumped out of my seat ready to rip off Tim's head. He just leaned back and laughed to himself. "I got Darry mad. Oh no!" He said with mock terror.
I ran up to him, but Soda was already hauling him out of his seat by the collar of his bulky jacket. The chef came out from the back brandishing his cleaver. The other gang tossed down a ten and ran outside pulling Soda with them. I put down a ten and five and followed them.
Soda was in the middle of their ring being pushed around by the guys. I ran up to Tim and shoved him into the circle too. He spun around making a very unflattering face and lunged at me. I swiftly spun away and Pony was right behind me ready to punch, which is exactly what he did. Tim fell back blood rushing from his now broken nose. He growled and lunged at Pony.
Big Mistake.
I grabbed him from behind and pushed him into the brick wall of the Dingo. Soda and Tim's gang were done pushing and were now crowding around us chanting. Pony backed up and ran home, the way I'd taught him.
"Don't you touch my kid brother or Angela. I will kill you next time." I said punching him with each word. If I had any doubts on his broken nose I didn't anymore. He looked at me with a swelling eye and bloody face smiling.
"You made a mistake. This isn't over, yet. Gangs are suppose to stick together, you're not a gang anymore." Tim walked from my loosened grip and walked away silently. We weren't a gang anymore, what does that mean? Tim disowned us. He was dead to me. I stalked off with my brothers following.
