Darry brought me back in the house where I sat in the chair still sobbing. Tracy finally moved her head to look at my tear stained face. She just stared at me like a child would. I started sobbing again. The look of her killed me. "Pony" she whispered. I finally got on my knees and went to her side, crying into her stomach. She didn't say anything. She just held my hand and stayed mute closing her eyes. "Let's move her to your bed Pony." Darry said trying to pick her up. "I can walk Darrel." Tracy finally spoke. She liked to be an independent person but I don't think it's the right time to be. She stood up and fell right back over into my arms. I carried her to my bed and laid her down, getting in next to her. I wrapped my arm around her. "Everything's gonna be all right Tracy." "You're the best friend a girl can have Pony." She said right before drifting off again. I didn't say anything because I wanted to be more then just her best friend. I woke up the next day with Tracy still laying in my arms. I quietly tried scooting out of bed without waking her but it didn't work. "pony..." She mumbled. I looked back at her with her arm extended wanting help up. I walked over to her wrapping her arm around my neck and helping her walk to the living room. I sat her down in the chair and went to the bathroom to get a washcloth. Darry was cooking breakfast for everyone while Soda and Sarah were still passed out on our pull out couch. I wished I had a relationship like theirs. Everyone knows who they are for their good looks and sweetness. They've been dating for a long time too, maybe one day they'll get married. That would be nice. I turned back to Tracy who was watching them. Maybe she was thinking the same thing, but about us. I kneeled down to be level with her. "This might hurt ok?" I dabbed the hot water on her cuts. She winced in pain and I could see water in her eyes. I slowly moved the wash cloth around her face, holding eye contact the whole time. They weren't sparkling like they usually were. I've never seen Tracy in so much pain and I hope I never see it again.
