It was around 3 to 4 AM, Ponyboy's gone, Darry's asleep in his room, Sodapop is asleep on the floor, Two-Bit is shitface drunk, Johnny is knocked out cold on the kitchen table, and you're on the sofa, falling asleep, until you hear...

Steve yelling his lungs off.

It wakes up Sodapop and you get up immediately and run over to Steve.

The carpet is on fire.

He yelled loudly, stomping on it but it only made it worse.
