Me, Mom, and the boys went to the restaraunt. We were all dressed in our best clothes which meant no Greaser attire. The boys all looked handsome. We ordered from the menu. 

I stood up and raised my drink.

"I'd like to propose a toast."

The rest of them raised their glasses of Coke.

"I'd like to propose a toast to all my friends that's been there for me ever since I moved here: Darry, you are like a father to me, the father figure I never had. Soda, you're one of the silliest people I know, you're like a brother to me. Ponyboy, I love the way you dig reading and writing, you're like a brother to me too. Two-Bit, I'm in love with you."

The boys smiled at me and Two. I continued.

"Steve, we never hung out a lot but we should because I consider you and everyone of the Greasers my brothers. I'd like to most importantly propose a toast to two loveable friends who's in a much better place now. To Johnny and Dally!"

"To Johnny and Dally!"

We took a sip of our cokes.

"Jackie, you never told us about your real dad," Darry said.

"Yeah," the rest of the boys said.

"He left for another woman," Mom said.

"Why can't some men treat ladies with respect!?" Darry asked.

"Some men are pigs," I said.

"Hear hear!" Two-Bit said.

We continued to talk for the rest of the time.
