1965 year.

After all the hype about the murder, the escape, the rescue of children from the burning church, everything began to calm down. But not everyone has a happy ending. After the showdown in court, ponyboy was not imprisoned, but he and sodapop were taken from Darry's custody, as he failed in his task to protect the brothers. it was a knife in the back, Darry couldn't describe what he felt at that moment, he wanted to cry in the courtroom when such a verdict was handed down. After Johnny and Dallas died, Ponyboy was already in a bad way, and after the verdict, he got even worse. Sodapop just couldn't believe his ears, he wanted to scream, he wanted to think that it was all a terrible dream.

Ponyboy and Sodapop were adopted by a new family. The kind of family that can give them education, food, pocket money, things, a roof over their heads, a warm bed and love. What Darry couldn't give them, others will.

There was complete silence at home, no shouting, laughter, games, no one was waiting for him home except you. Darry just wanted to hope that the boys were okay, that the two of them were protecting each other, that their new home was really better than their home.

You were sitting on the couch when Darry came in, all these weeks he didn't walk around sullen, he walked around broken and lost. Just when you wanted to ask how his meeting with his brothers went, he fell on the couch next to you and started talking, not letting you ask your question.

"I Saw Ponyboy And Sodapop. they said that everything was fine in the new family, that they were taken by the same parents, they live in a common house.. parents are kind, don't need enough food, don't need money. Their parents allowed them to see me and visit me.."

Darrell didn't finish when tears started to fall from his eyes. This was his turning point, when he worked and lived only for two people who are no longer with him in the shared house.
