PONYBOY'S POV:

I could tell Gabby was really hurting. I just decided not to talk to her about it anymore because I felt it would fade away. If she wanted to talk to me, and if she came to me about it, then I'll talk to her about it. But I don't want to cause her anymore pain.

We walked through the front door and she was inching her way into the house. I could tell she was nervous. I rubbed her back and said, "don't worry you did nothing wrong". She turned and smiled a half- smile at me. Two-bit walked out of the kitchen, and when he saw Gabby, he ran up to her and hugged her. Gabby asked Two, "where's Darry?". "He went out for a walk. He said he needed some air. Steve went with him cause Steve wanted to make sure he didn't go to Harry.", Two-bit explained.

DARRY'S POV:

Steve and I went for a walk to clear my head. I don't even know why I yelled at Gabby the way I did. I know she did nothing wrong, I guess it just made me mad because she hadn't listened to me in the first place. All I wanted was for Gabby to be happy, and I always knew she wouldn't be happy with a Socs.

"What're ya gonna say to Gabby when we get back?", Steve asked interrupting my thoughts. "I don't know. I don't wanna break down but every time I see my siblings in pain I always do.", I replied. As I said this, we got to the front gate. "C'mon buddy", Steve said as he ran through the front gate and into the house.

I took a deep breath, and opened the door. When I did, Gabby, Pony, and Soda were sitting on the couch and Dally, Two, Steve, and Johnny were on the floor. I looked over at Gabby and she stood up, and walked over to me.

"Darry I'm so sorry", she started to cry as she said this. "No baby girl you have no reason to be sorry. I was in the wrong. I'm so sorry girly", I started to cry because Gabby was crying. Truth is, it's hard for all of us boys to see her in pain. No matter is she's older or younger than us, we all look at her as the baby of the family. I pulled Gabby into a hug and rubbed her hair, "don't cry. It's okay. I'm sorry girly", I said through sniffles.  Soda and Pony got up and joined our hug.  I wiped away Gabby's tears and we all went to sit on the couch.

Sodapop's eyes lit up and he said, "I have an idea guys!".  "What?", replied Johnny. "Let's look through our old pictures!" Soda said. I smiled and said, "I love that idea".
