You got taken into the Curtis brothers when your parents left, There was Darry Curtis, 20, Sodapop curtis, 16 and ponyboy curtis, 14, they Hang around steve Randle and Two-bit Mathews, You've always liked Darry, despite your 5 year age gap.. they were all like brothers and it was June 1965.. You were in bed around early morning, the boys were out but darry was still getting ready for work as a mechanic, he was so muscular and hot.. mostly when he was dirty and sweaty..
