— Everyone was sad when sodapop lost his memory. But when Darry came out and told us sodapop remembers him, I immediately got up with a smile and ran to his room. Everyone was in the living room except Steve, probably at his house, crying. I honestly felt bad for him even though we hated each other I cared about him. Especially since he was crying because of my brother.

I walked into his room to see sodapop in bed, fiddling with his fingers. "Hey sodapop." He nodded in reply to me.

"I was wondering if I could try to,..you know...spark your memory of me..." I say. He nods in reply. I nod and smile.

"Well— I'm the youngest in the gang being 15. I'm your kid brother. I like books and writing...I wrote The Outsiders. I always get good grades. Me and Darry get in fights...I love movies...especially Paul Newman movies...I like sunsets and sunrises...me and you shared a bed because I got nightmares ever since mom and dad died..." I start tearing up.

But sodapop to my surprise, Sodapop hugs me. I hug back and cry.

"On the bright side..." —Sodapop starts as I look at him— "I remember you."

I was shocked. "Y-you do?" I stutter. He chuckles and nods. I giggle through my tears.
