Darry and I have climb into his bed together. We were going to make-out for a little while. We eventually got tried. We had to be quiet but we use it to. The next morning was going to be fun. Darry had to go work and I had some stock I had to deal with but that was it. I feel asleep in his arms. It was almost two in the morning when I heard someone scream. I jumped and Darry told me it was just Pony having a nightmare. I got up to go see if he was okay, but Darry said Soda would take care of it. I did not have to work and Soda did. I got up and Darry just look at me. He told me he was having a hard time with Dally and Johnny death. I think I can understand Dally was my little brother, but I knew it would eventually happen. He had hard himself beyond caring. I had thrown myself into so much work, I did not care about my world. Darry said to go and see if I come help him. He first threw at shirt at me because I forgot I was not wearing one, I guess Darry didn't. He was going back to bed.

I got up and went into Pony and Soda room. I ask pony if he wanted to go out in the living and talk. He look at me like I was crazy. I told him I serious. I went into the living room, Steve had woke up on the couch. I told him to go sleep in the same bed as Soda. He look just look at me and I glared at him and went. Then he said where did you learned how to do that, and reply New York. I knew eventually going to have to tell the gang whom I was, so far no one knew my last name. I had Pony on the coach. He look up with green eyes, and said why you came to me. I told him I did not have work tomorrow. He told me he had bad dreams all the time. I told him I get it and it hard to get over friends and family that has passed away. He just look at me and said my little brother got shot by the police and he passed away. Pony must have been tried because he did not catch on right away.

He eventually was falling asleep I stayed with him on the couch for that night, so he hopefully feel better tomorrow. I hope we was talking about his feeling were, it was bad to bottle all those feeling up. I had and this cause me to do some stupid things. Pony was snoring loudly. I was glad he was asleep. I decided I would stay out in the living room.

The next morning Darry was shakings me awake. I was still asleep on the couch, Pony must already getting ready for the day. I ask if anyone was in the shower, Darry said no but he need to take one. I told him we could just take one together. He smiled, we went into the bathroom together, and took a shower. The gang had arrived by the time I was dressed and ready for the day. Darry and I made eggs and toast. Darry complied when I made the eyes blue. Soda was happy. Pony was just eating not talking to anyone. I told him I had a surprised planned for when everyone was home, but I did not think they were going to guess what it was. Darry did not even know about it. Steve and Two-bit I told better be here to. Steve was just looking at me, I don't think he is use to be told what to do. I can be quiet good at. The gang was surprised when Two-Bit notice by hair was wet along with Darry. Steve and Soda just smiled, and Ponyboy look confused. I do not think they were sue to Darry be with a girl, which is strange he dated many different girls in high school. Since it was summer break Pony and Two-Bit went into the living room. The guys were off to work for the day. Tonight they were going to get their surprise.
