The Curtis Sister

[16]

Again I woke up to one of the boys in my room. Except Pony wasn't like the others who waited in the chair next to my bed. I woke up and found Pony looking threw the books on my shelf. "Mornin Pony." "Oh um Morning." He said rushing over to the chair were the boys usually sit. "What are you hiding?" I asked. And he broke like that he could not keep a secret from me. "I took a book off your shelf and put it in my room so I could read it." Why did this not take me by surprise. "Ok enjoy it all the books on that self are my favorite books of all time." He shook his head. Then I said "Hey could you get Darry. My bandages are coming loose and it would be nice to have a bag of ice too." He shook his head Yes. Then in like two minutes latter Darry walked in with new bandages to wrap around me. He sat me up and asked me to hold my shirt up. I did and he undid my old bandages. The bruises looked a little better but didn't have much improvement. I had a feeling this was going to last a lot longer then a week. As Darry was finishing wrapping me up Pony walked in with the ice. They both then left and I fell asleep with the ice on my ribs were it hurt the most.

Darry's POV

It was good to see Jane's bruises had gotten better but it scared me that there was not much change. When I walked back out to the living the whole gang looked at Pony and I. Then Johnny asked "Hey where's Jane?" "Oh well um she just wanted to be alone. I'm pretty sure she even fell back asleep." Pony said. Pony then sat down and I went out to the kitchen to make Jane some breakfast. The rest of us had already ate but I really felt bad for her. I also felt like it was my fault. You know I was the one that sent her to the grocery store. When I finished making her food I took it to her room. Pony was right she did fall back asleep. I shook her arm a little bit and she woke up. "Hey want something to eat." I said in a quite voice. She shook her head and I went to help her but she stopped me. "Wait Darry let me try by myself." She said blocking my hand. So I took a step back and let her try. She moved her arms to her side and tried to push up. I could see the tears welling up in her eyes. "Ok let me help you I can't stand to see you cry." I said. She knew I was right and that she could not do it yet. She flopped her arms down at her side and gave up. I then sat her up and she looked in my eyes with those sweet brown eyes she had and said "Thank you." The same way she did Soda the other day. I shook my head and handed her the plate. Then I sat down next to her and she said "I thought today was Pony's day." "It is. I just wanna hang out with you before I have to go to work." She then sat there and ate and I sat at her side. Jane never talked much. But that was okay with me. The rest of us Curtis kids were pretty loud. Then I noticed the time. It was 10:00 "Ok I gotta go get ready for work." I said while walking out of the door.

Jane's POV

When I tried to get up it hurt so bad but I just had to do. I felt tears welling up in my eyes but I had to it. But then he said "Ok let me help you I can't stand to see you cry." I knew he was right.

~Flashback~

(Jane is 3)
I woke up and I had had a nightmare. I started crying hoping mom or dad would come to my room. But they were the second ones there. Darry was there first he quick rushed in. He hugged me and started to pet my hair and say "It was only a dream." He said this about 3 times then we both fell asleep.

~End of Flashback~

I quit and let my arms fall to my side and he picked me up. A little while latter Darry left to get ready for work. I finished my food then screamed "PONY!" He quick rushed in and helped me up then asked "Bathroom or living room?" "Living room." So we started to walk out there. Now see most people say Dallas Winston is cold hearted has ice in his eyes and cares about no one. But see he cares about Johnny Cade and who ever Johnny cares about Dally cares about. So when Dally saw me walking down the hallway he looked down the couch and saw it was full. So he stood up and Steve tried to steal his seat not seeing me. But Dally tackled him to the ground. Then I sat down. This showed me the truth about Dally he was not cold hearted he just had few people he cares about.
