“Hey, Darry, please stop picking on him. He’s obviously stressed out.” 你 plead with 你 boyfriend. He and Ponyboy were fighting about grades and school and such.
“(Y/N), please stay out of this.” Darry says, eyes still locked on his younger brother.
“She has a point.” Ponyboy snorts.
“Don’t use that tone with me, young man.” Darry says, voice raised.
“Who went and made 你 dad?” Ponyboy asked, shrugging his shoulders.
“You take that back.” Darry says, lunging for Ponyboy.
They start beating up on each other, nothing serious. Brothers will be brothers.
“Hey! Knock it off!” 你 say, trying to separate them on the ground.
Smack!
你 fall back, the hit getting 你 hard.
The boys freeze, realizing they’ve hit you.
“Ow!” 你 say. “That was my boob!”
They burst out laughing.

你 were actually close to Soda. Danny played with Grace and Logan all the time. 你 couldn’t even begin to imagine how they felt.
你 hear the front door open. Darry was 首页 now. 你 take another deep breath, and sit at the 厨房 table.
Just breathe.
He walks into the kitchen. “Hey babe, what’s wrong?” He asks, setting down his wallet and keys.
你 swallow. “I got a call.” Is all 你 manage to say.
“About?” He asks, eyebrows raised.
“Soda’s dead.” 你 blurt out.
The look on Darry’s face would haunt your memory for the rest of your life.
He just sat down on the floor in pure shock, mouth open, eyes wide.
