Darry's pov-
I went back into my room and checked on Pony. "Damn, you're burning up. Take some blankets and stuff off" I told him so he nodded. He took some of the blankets off and removed his shirt. I bit my lip and stared at him. "I don't feel good" he whined "I know baby. How bout we get you into the bathroom?" I suggested so he nodded. He got up and you can definitely tell he's sicker than hell.
Pony sat in the warm bath and could barely keep his eyes open. I chuckled and helped him wash himself. I could tell he was embarrassed because his ears were red. "I love you" I smiled "I love you too" he mumbled sleepily. I grabbed a towel and he got out of the bath. He wrapped up in the towel and went into the kitchen. He sat at the table and I handed him some chicken soup and his medicine the doctor gave him.
I sat in front of pony at the table and chuckled as I watched him eat his soup sleepily. Soda walked in and looked at pony. "Hey pony how ya feeling?" Soda asked messing up pony's wet hair. "Sick" pony groaned and fixed his hair. I smiled as Pony started to drift asleep at the table. I walked over and picked him up.
I set Pony on my bed and he immediately curled up in a ball and drifted back to sleep. Man, he's so damn adorable when he sleeps. I remember when mom and dad first Brought him home. He was the cutest little baby anyone's ever seen. His gre {en eyes were light up inocently and he had a perfect little smile. He was so happy with the little we have. Now he is depressed and just ain't himself anymore.

I woke up and I feel fine. I walked out to the kitchen and smiled at Darry ''hey baby" he smiled and kissed me. Nobody was around so we could do what we wanted. "Darry have you seen my parts?" Soda asked walking out of the bathroom rapped in a towel. "Yeah, they're hanging in my closet" Darry told him so he walked to Darry's room. I sat at the table and started eating breakfast.
Darry sat in front of me and grabbed the stack of mail. He sighed as he looks at the bills. "Maybe I should drop outa school like soda and get a job to help out" I said "no, Ponyboy. You deserve better than this. You need to stay in school" he told me. "Then I'll get a weekend job to help" I told him "pony you don't need to get a job, you're under enough stress with school and worrying bout bein' jumped by socs" he said looking me in the eyes. I nodded and looked down at my breakfast.
"Darry, am I useless?" I asked breaking our silence. He looked me in the eyes and spoke. "No, Ponyboy. You are no way in hell useless. You are smart and handsome and a whole lot more, one thing is for sure is that you ain't useless" he told me. "I feel like it though"I sighed so he got up. Darry walked over and grabbed my face. "Ponyboy Curtis, I love you and you are never gonna be useless" he told me then connected our lips.
I smiled led and hugged him. "Thanks Dar" I smiled "you got school" he smiled and messed up my hair. I grumbled and cussed under my breath. "You sure are picky bout your hair" Darry chuckled "yeah well it's my pride" I told him and fixed my hair. "I'll drive ya to school. Let's go" he smiled so I followed hi, out to the car. I like and hare school at the same time if that makes sense. I don't know. I don't care either.
