Ponys pov
I was watching the other guys fight. Denny had looked afraid so i went over and held her. Then after about ten or so minutes of fighting, i realized she was gone.
"Guys", i said standing up. They continued to fight. "Guys!", i shouted. They looked at me. "What is it Pony?", Darry asked. "Dennys gone. If you didnt fight, she wouldnt of ran away", i said. Everyone looked upset. Well everyone but Dally and Steve. "Stupid kid", Dallas muttered. Soda lunged at him, but Darry caught him. "Search the house", Darry said. I went back to my room, but i dont think she went there. That would be too obvious since she always goes there when shes upset. She doesnt want to be found, so she would go somewhere no one would expect.
Theres one place i know she hates. Darrys room. She always says how dark it always is in there, but thats because Darry has no windows in his room and Denny cant reach the lightswitch. As everyone else looked around for Denny, i slipped into Darrys room unnoticed. I looked around. Everything looked normal, but i knew she was in here. I looked around for a few minutes and sighed. Could i be wrong? I went to leave the room when i tripped over one of Darrys belts. I landed on my back. I groaned, but i heard something. A giggle.
I turned my head and saw Denny under the bed with tear stained cheeks. I crawled over and looked at her. "You almost fooled me kid", i laughed softly. "I knew you would find me Pony", she said. Smart kid. "Come on. The other guys are worried about you", i told her. "I dont want to come out. They are yelling", she said.
"Not anymore", i said. "Daddys going to be mad at me. Soda is too", she said.
"Why would you think that?", i asked. "Daddy didnt want me telling you guys i was in the hospital i think. But you asked why i came and i cant lie", she said, close to tears again. "They wont be mad. They are very worried about where you are. Will you come out with me?", i asked. "Can i stay here?", she asked. "I dont think its very comfy under a bed, is it?", i asked, trying not to smile. "Your right", she smiled a little. "Then you could come out with me...", i said, trying to coax her out. "Ill come out from under the bed, but im not gonna come out. Not til i know Soda and daddy are ok", she said. "I think that i can make that happen", i said. She slowly crawled out of the bed and jumped on top of it. "Now stay there. Ill make sure Soda and Dally are ok, ok?", i asked.
She nodded in agreement and i walked out of the room. Everyone was frantically running around for Denny. I walked over to Soda and pulled him ober towards where Dally was looking. I pulled them both aside. "What kid! We are looking for Denver!", Dally yelled. "I found her", i said. "What!? Where is she?", they both yelled. I shushed them to keep it quiet.
"She is in Darrys room. She wont come out because she thinks you too are mad at her. She said she would only come out as long as you two were ok", i explained. They looked at each other and nodded. "Does she want to see us?", Soda asked quietly. "I think she would, but im not sure", i said. "Be nice, ok?", i said as they went for the door. "Ok", they said. They went into the room and i went to tell everyone that Denver was found.
