Dallas's Little Sister

The End

Sophie's POV

     It's been 5 years since Johnny's death. It still hurts me everyday when he doesn't walk through the front door. I watch it all the time just hopping it was all a bad dream. We haven't seen Two-Bit since, his parents said he ran out of state to his grandparents. He couldn't be here anymore without thinking of Johnny. Steve went off to college and hasn't called or anything. It was only the Curtis's, Dally and I now.

"Sophie, you haven't touched your food. You're carrying my baby so feed it please" Soda smiled lifting my fork up to my lips. I chuckled and took the fork.

"I'm just thinking is all" I ate what was on the fork and placed it back on my plate.

"Of Johnny?" He said softly. The vibe in the room suddenly becoming dull.

"Please don't talk about him" Ponyboy said lifting his eyes from his book onto us. He and Dallas took Johnny's death the hardest.

The first 2 years of him being gone Ponyboy would barely eat and never left his room, until Darry dragged him out. He isn't who he use to be. The once cheerful, bubbly Ponyboy Curtis is now sad,dull and emotionless. It's understandable, his best friend got shot right in front of him and died.

Dallas is a whole other story. He ditched town for 6 months and came back an alcoholic. Took me 3 years to get him sober but he's fine now. He's harder than ever but is still soft around me and Pony. I can tell he cares for Pony too, but Johnny was a different story. Johnny was like a kid brother to him. He hasn't spoken about Johnny at all, but I've caught him crying multiple times.

Darry and Soda talk about him all the time. Whenever we'd go to the lot we'd share our favorite memories with Johnny. Soda's was when he and Johnny went horse back riding and it was the only time he'd ever heard Johnny laugh. Mine was when he took me to watch a sunset, the most gorgeous thing i've seen.

     I was broken for a good chunk of time. I realized Johnny wouldn't of liked me being upset and I began rebuilding myself. I'm still devastated but I've gotten better. I've been focusing more on Soda and I than Johnny now, trying to ease the pain. I'm 4 months pregnant with our baby and I couldn't be happier.

"Sophie lets go, don't wanna miss your apointment" Soda said all excited. My ultrasound was today, we're finding out if its a boy or a girl.

"Ya ya ya I'm comin" I grabbed my bag and kissed Dal on the head.

     Soda opened my door for me and I sat down. The drive was annoying because of traffic but thankfully we made it in time.

"Ok Ms. Winston this will be cold" The lady put the gel on me. I shivered a little. She moved around the stick thing for a few minutes.

"Would you like to know now or keep it a surprise?" I looked at Soda.

"Write it down, I wanna know with the rest of them" I smiled and nodded. "Me too" The lady wrote it down and handed me the paper.

"Congratulations. You can leave the same way we came in" I smiled at her and stood up. We hurried home excited to know.

"Ok 1..2..3" I opened the paper.

"ITS A BOY!" Soda shouted. Dallas and Pony let out whoops.

"Yay I'm going to be an uncle" Pony hugged me.

"We need a name" I sat down and smiled.

"I have the perfect name" I placed my hand on my stomach. "Well?" Dallas said impatiently.

"Johnathan Cade Curtis"
