Sodapop Curtis is known to be the happiest of the Curtis brothers considering their parents died and the mother of his child left him stranded. however he somehow always just is in a good mood. Sodapop had you when he was 16 years old in Tulsa Oklahoma 1967. he has one little brother, your uncle Ponyboy. and one older brother, your uncle Darry. Pony is more nerdy and sweet and funny. Darry is more stern strict and cold because of how fast he had to grow up. Soda dropped out of highschool to get a job and take care of you

Sodapop is the best dad to you. you two are very close and he is a sweet guy. however there is a fork in the road. Sodapop got drafted to war when you were six. it was devastating and you had horrible separation anxiety. sleepless nights filled with sobbing in your uncles arms was the result. you slept in Soda’s room- well it was yours too. nobody could afford more than the two bedroom house. you would sleep with your teddy bear he got you before he left with his shirt on it and his cologne sprayed on them as well. it was horrible being away from your dad but you had managed and wrote and received letters.

it was finally 1974 and you were now 7 and your dad was coming back. you had no clue though, your uncles and the guys, Two-Bit, Steve, Dallas, and Johnny, had planned it to be a surprise for you. you came home from school for summer break, it was a rough day but as soon as you opened the front door you were greeted with a huge box. and everybody around. and of course Ponyboy and Two-Bit had cameras.

“what is this? who’s it for?” you asked and approached it as you slid off your backpack “just open it” Two-Bit said casually. and smirked. you slowly pulled off the ribbon and opened the cardboard to see Sodapop on his knees in the box. you immediately screamed and broke down sobbing “i’m home!” he grinned the same old grin he always has. some things never change.
