Chapter seven
Darry

      I woke up thinking it was all a dream, that this past half week all a dream. It wasn't, you make him leave, you made that murder happen. It's all your fault!

I got out of bed and got breakfast made. I prepared to go to work fixing me and soda's lunch and got him out of bed. "Come on little buddy, time to go." I put my hand on his shoulder and shake him awake. "Ponyboy back yet?" He asked with almost sarcasm. Dear lord, not you too soda. "Come on we gotta get goin' you know how it is, one more off day this month will get you fired." He got up reluctantly and get dressed. He had some cake and Steve came through the door. "Hey y'all, got any cake?" He smiled and he was in a good mood. "Don't we always." Steve was in there trying to cheer him up, cars and girls wouldn't do anything for him though.

We walked out of the house and got in the car. "Ok I'm driving today." I smirked as Soda slid over and I got behind the wheel. I sighed and slumped down in my seat. "God I hate myself." I mutter but soda put a hand on my shoulder. "Come on dar, he's gonna come back I know it!" I drove out of the drive way.

Ponyboy

We got in the drive way, "get out! I'll be back I have to return this." He drove off. "Welcome home." I sighed. I slowly made my way to the door. Johnny practically ran though me and baby to get through the door. "No ones here, pony your safe for a few hours." He told me from the inside. I let out the air I was holding and walked inside more quickly.

It was time, I heard the rattle of Darry's truck and I wanted to run to my room and hide. I here Soda said loudly. "Come on Steve I know but it's hard to flirt with girls if all you can think about is a runaway brother!" My hopes filled. They got closer and closer I stood up. Dally did too. Baby and Johnny were staring at us. "I miss him to soda..."I felt like crumbling to the ground and crying. Darry miss me? He missed me? No no had to be because of soda. He pushed me out and he yelled and I yelled and he missed me!

They opened the door. They walked in. Soda stopped laughing and Steve bumped into Darry. Darry didn't budge. "Hi I'm home." I said in a weak voice. "BABY!!!" Soda ran to me and hugged the daylight outta me. I turned to Darry. He had tears in his eyes, he never cried! Not even at mom and dad's funeral... and his mouth was trying to make a sound but nothing came out. "I-I- I'm-" he tried but I ran to him. He wasn't the bad guy. He did love me. I wrapped my arms around his lean torso and he hugged back tighter. "I though we lost ya like we did mom and dad!" He sobbed in my shirt.

"Hey pony you bring a girl home?" Steve asked. Oh my lord! he just had to ruin the moment. "Hi I'm the one who brought then food, and I was trying to get away from my parents." She explained. "Well it's a pleaser to meet you." Darry shook her hand. "Please if was great to see all you get together." I relished then that she was a soc. "And YOU!" Soda asserted dally, "I knew you were hiding my kid brother and Johnny cakes! who I told you to bring them back!" Soda got his anger out. "Do you know the days of work we missed searching!" Soda got in his face. "You knew I wouldn't lot them get hurt." He stated back cold and cocky. "I can't believe you!" Soda went into the kitchen while Steve followed him laughing his gut off.

I told them the whole story leaving some parts out.

"So our Johnny cakes killed someone." Steve stated and slung a arm around Johnny. "Your okay it all blew over a few days ago." I sighed in relief. Steve looked down for a minute. Baby was shocked at the way we lived, all this was clearly new to her. She was cooking us dinner. She said it was no trouble and we just let her find her way. Darry was in there with her Takin about things.

"Greasers are getting jumped everywhere. You know dally started Carrying a heater."

I nodded and looked at soda. I went over to him and have him another hug. "Don't you ever do that again you hear!" He whispered in my ear. "Darry likes me, I won't." Soda shook his head. "Even if he yells at you again, don't run away please. Come back to us." He pulled some hair out of my eyes and smiled. "Come on dinners almost ready."
