The Car Ride Home- Danielle POV
I started the truck and start on the way back to the house. The night was extremely dark and quiet. Pony was not going to talk to me, and this made up think that he was up to something. I ask him how school was going but he would only say good. I ask him some more questions and he seem to give me one word answer.
This all seemed point less but I made sure he knew Darry was going to be okay. Darry would be coming home tomorrow but not to tell anyone yet. I was the only one that knew this. He then decided to start talking. He told me he was seeing a nursing student from the hospital but he did not want to get seriously with her. Her name was Abby, and she was nice. I asked him why he had kept this a secret from us. He told me that Soda and Steve knew, or more likely they were found together making out. I told him to be careful with someone older. I told him if they were going to keep seeing each other that he was going to have to tell Darry himself. I was not going to be caught in the middle of that fight.
He said if he could see it becoming something he would tell Darry. He had met her when he went to sign up for classes the other day. They clicked right away, and he was sort hoping it would be more than physical between the two of them but he was not sure. They were going to meet tomorrow night to go out on a date. I told him that would be fine and he could use Soda car and Soda and Steve could go to the hospital in Steve Truck. I was bringing Darry home and I was going to fighting with them a lot. Pony laugh when I said that because he was going to be funny. He told me good luck getting Darry to listen to you and I said I have my ways.
Back at the House.
Steve and Soda pulled in behind in the drive way. I told them we need to get the house yet for Darry because he coming home tomorrow. Soda and Pony were talking quietly. I knew Pony was telling Soda about his plans for tomorrow night. I hope everything works out for the best. Soda was giving his keys to Pony. He told Pony to go ahead and drive it to school in the morning. I asked Soda how he was going to get to work. He gave me Puppy Dog eyes and now I am driving him to work. Steve has the day off, so he is going to be helping clean the whole house.
The kitchen is not bad but I want to make sure they is no tripping hazards. The rest of the place just need clean up. All the bedroom need clean up. I told the boys to make sure all their clothes were off the floor. Pony had to pick up his books and Soda had to make sure all tools were outside. I told Steve the same thing. If I found anything inappropriate when I check their room, they were going to be grounded for a week. So they went to their rooms to start cleaning up.
I went to Darry and me room. I had to pick up all the clothes I had been wearing and through in the basket to get washed. Then made the bed and this was a chore. We sleep in a queen size bed. I got everything together. I was going to sweep in the morning, or I was going to make Steve. I had having to sweep and if I could talk Steve into I was going to. Then I decided it was time to go to be bed. I hoped into my PJs and laid my head. I eventually drifted off to sleep.
