Ponyboy's POV
I'm almost asleep when I hear the bedroom door creak open and Soda walks in. "How's Darry?" I ask. "Oh, you know," says Sodapop in his caring and soothing voice, "he's acting like he's fine, but you can tell it hurts. I got him to drink some water before I left, though." I nod and try to fall asleep. After dinner, I had almost forgotten that Darry was even sick. He just shuts himself in his room and stays real quiet. Well, every once and awhile we'll hear a loud cough or he'll stumble into the bathroom, but that's it. If we check on him, he'll sit up real fast, clear his throat, and try to look and sound as healthy as possible. That's just what he does, I guess.
