-Ok, this chapter is going to be from Ponyboy’s view. I don’t want to confuse anyone, and I will be alternating pov’s throughout the story. Ok, for the disclaimer-I don’t own The Outsiders, if I did I’d have more than moths in my pocket. On with the story!
Chapter 3-Dazed and Confused
As I heard the door slam, I looked up slightly from the eggs I was cooking. Since nearly everyone was here, I knew it could only be one of two people: either Dally or Johnny. I was hoping for the former, I’d enjoyed being with Dally lately, we were closer and when I’m with him I feel safe and happy.
Dally and I have been spending more time together lately, sometimes just sitting in silence and enjoying each others’ company. Johnny was often with us, but he’s always so quiet that you had to look at him to know he’s there. The three of us were always close, Dal and Johnny were my best buddies in the gang, but since Johnny got jumped and Dal dumped Sylvia ‘for the last time’, we’ve been getting closer.
Truth is, I’ve always looked up to Dally, always wanted to be like him. No one messes with him because everybody’s scared of him. I knew Dally could feel, he’s human after all, and that his aloofness was a shield to keep from being hurt, and I wish I could be like that. It always hurt when I was called names, being jumped or when Darry yells at me and I just want the pain to go away.
In the last few months when I look at Dally, though, I have noticed a difference in him. Sure if you didn’t know him you wouldn’t know it, but that’s just it; I do know him. I’ve looked into his eyes enough to know that they were once icy blue and hard, but lately, around me at least, they’ve been warmer, almost as if a fire was slowly melting the ice inside. Another marked difference is the way he’s been so careful with me; he talks to me as if I’m his equal and it’s like he chooses his words carefully, as if to avoid my being hurt. That’s something I’ve never really had before. The gang, Darry and even Soda didn’t pull their punches with me. They said what was on their mind, and while Soda was more discreet about it, he would still say what he thought because to him being truthful meant a lot.
I looked up when I heard Dal’s voice, I had been so lost in my thoughts I hadn’t even noticed he was speaking. When he asked if I wanted to go with him I felt a strange feeling in my gut, a kind of nervousness tempered with excitement. I’ve never felt like this before and I wasn’t sure I liked it.
“Well, I don’t know ‘bout Johnny, but I’d like to. It’s been boring ‘round here with nothing really to do. Missed ya the last few days, Dally. It’s boring ‘round here without ya.”
What I said was true. The last couple days Dally hadn’t been around I’d been feeling pretty low and definitely bored. Even being around Johnny didn’t settle the feeling of loss in my stomach, which was another thing that was new. I had never felt like that when Dally didn’t show up for a while before, sure he was my buddy and all, but when he was away I just always palled around with Johnny or Two Bit. Now that Dal was back I felt happy and knew that I’d make the best of the time he was around.
Again I was startled out of my thoughts when Dal came closer and wrapped one arm around my shoulders in a quick hug. A jolt, like an electric current, went through me at his touch. This was unusual, Dally hardly ever hugged anybody that wasn’t Johnny, and the few times he had done this, I had never felt a jolt go through me. It seems I was in for a world of unusual around ole Dally now. I felt excitement run through my veins, well I had been lacking in fun lately and now I think I’ll have my fair share. Hmm, good thing it’s summer vacation.
-Ok, now I know I probably have ya’ll wondering why I did a first person pov. Well, Pony is going to always be like this. The others will be in third person, but Pony will not. I find it easier to write him this way, I don’t know why, I just do. But anyway, seems like our favorite young one is in for quite a ride, doesn’t it? I am trying to keep this story ‘true to life’, as in this is not going to be soap opera like, but how I see real world relationships. I am also employing some of my previous experiences when I was around Pony’s age. I’ve been where he is, wondering why all of a sudden you feel a marked change towards a friend you’ve known for years. I hope ya’ll enjoyed this little chapter in the ongoing Outsiders relationship saga. Read and Review, let me know if ya’ll would like me to have Darry and Two Bit get together, or who you think should save for the obvious four already mentioned. Do ya think Johnny should be single, or should he find him someone later? Let me know what ya’ll think, I look forward to hearing your opinions. Thanks guys.
