1965, Tulsa

You were a curtis and you were about 18, 2 years younger than darry and half a year older than soda. After your parents died in a car crash last year, darry had to take care of pony and soda by himself, soda dropped out and to be honest, it was pretty normal with 3 boys in the house and they kept the house clean for 3 boys《》About 9 weeks ago you got sick, it was a cold but the fact you had to get held back by darry from going to work was driving you crazy, It didnt help that pony and johnny, Ponyboys best friend, Went missing, you tried to convince darry to let you look for them 2 but he was worried about you getting even more sick but you didnt care, every night you snuck out with a friend of yours, looking for them around greaser territory, every night you didnt find them, until when a fire happened out in Windrixville, the country part of Oklahoma. The night darry and soda brought pony back home from the hospital, you were in bed, sneezing in your sleep like you were allergic to yourself and when you walked out your room the next morning, Aka today, You found pony cooking so you decided to not bother him so you went back to your room, two-bit and steve came through the un-locked door and went to the kitchen after they heard pony yell in 'here'. Long story short, pony brought your breakfast to you since you didnt wanna get up and you thanked him, soda and darry woke up, ate then soda drove darry to work THEN went to work with steve at DX and two-bit was helping pony clean the house then left, Before pony left yoor room you wanted a deep talk with him and he sat down on your bed "darry means nothing he says in arguments, even if he sounds like he means it, ponyboy, he just- is stressed from everything; his job, the court case and taking care of 3 of us" you said and coughed, covering your mouth with your arm and pony looked at the ground
