Maybe Someday

Chapter 9

Pony's POV

Me and Darry carried her in the house and laid her on the bed. "Ponyboy, you make sure she's alright, okay?" he asked firmly. "Yes, Darry." Darry walked out of the room. I laid down next to Brooke. Her eyes opened slowly.

"Hey, Brooke." She smiled. "Hey, Pony. Missed ya, buddy." "I missed you more than anything else, Brooke." Brooke scooted closer to me. My body shivered from embarrassment. I've always had a crush on her.

I couldn't take it any longer. I kissed her. My mind was telling me no, but my heart was telling me yes. She didn't pull away. Instead, Brooke got closer to me. Good thing Darry closed the door and was now cooking for the others.

After five minutes, we finally stopped. "I.... didn't know that you liked me, Pony." "Well I didn't know you were such a.... Firecracker. We should get out of here. Darry's serving dinner." We got out of the room and sat with the others.

"Oh and where have you been, Pony?" Two-Bit asked. He was drunk. Great. "I've been watching Brooke." "Ah I see, Ponyboy, my man." He took another shot of his beer. I shot a look at Brooke. She smiled and started to eat the delicious food that Darry made.

Sodapop and Dally looked at me suspiciously just barely pecking at their food. Oh gold I hope I wasn't too suspicious.
