When I got home, it was 10:30. Ponyboy had to be trang chủ in an hour. I hope he's not late. Darry was in the chair đọc the newspaper, while Soda was lounging on the đi văng watching the news. I went to my room and read for a little while. hoặc so I thought it was a little while. It was 12:00! I hope Ponyboy is home. I went out to the front room to see if he was there. Uh-Oh, he's not here. What's Darry gonna do? I looked over and Darry had a look of worry and anger on his face. Man, Ponyboy is gonna be toast! Another half giờ went bởi and Ponyboy was still not home. Darry kept thinking about calling the cops to go out and look for him, but if he did we would be chẻ, phân chia, split up for sure. I was pacing around in my room, Darry called some of the gang to let them know that Ponyboy wasn't trang chủ yet. Sodapop was looking out the window, but he dozed of a while ago. bởi the time it was 1:30 Darry was up and pacing around our living room. He was real worried. He sat back down and tried to finish the paper. He had only read the first page, he was so worried. bởi 2:00, Darry was going to call the cops. Just as he picked up the phone guess who walked in? Ponyboy. "Where have bạn been, bạn know what time it is? Well it's 2:00 in the moring kiddo." Darry was blazing with anger. "Hey Ponyboy, where ya been?" bởi now Soda was up. I was just standing there staring at Darry and Pony. "I...I fell asleep in the lot.", Ponyboy stammered. "You what!" Darry's face was red now. "Come on let's get to bed.", Sodapop said. "I reckon it never occured to bạn that your family might be worried sick about you.", Darry continued. "I didn't mean to...", Ponyboy started. "I didn't mean to, I forgot that's all I ever here out of you!" "Oh, come on Dar'..." "Shut up! I'm sick and tired of bạn sticking up for them!" Ponyboy was so mad at Darry that he yelled, "Don't bạn yell at him!" The tiếp theo moment seemed like it was in slow motion. Darry turned around and pushed Ponyboy so hard he flew to the floor. "P..Ponyboy, I didn't mean to." He was already out the door. This time I exploded at Darry. "Look what bạn just did! Do bạn think he wanted to be late?" I was out the door this time. I was chasing after Ponyboy. He had a little head start, but I still caught up to him. He was standing there with Johnny. We were all out of breath. Ponyboy was shocked to see that I was right behind him. "What are bạn doing? It's bad enough that i'm in trouble, but that doesn't mean bạn need to be." "Well, I wanted to see if bạn were alright." "Ya, i'm fine. Come on guys let's walk to the park and back, maybe i'll be cooled off enough to go home." "Okay." We walked to the park while I noticed something about Ponyboy. Johnny musta too because he asked Ponyboy, "Ain't bạn 'bout to freeze to death?" "You ain't a woofin'", Ponyboy replied. It was freezing out and Ponyboy didn't even have on a sweater. We were about to walk back to the house when we saw something start to vòng tròn the park. It was a car. But it wasn't just any car. It was Bob's car. Oh boy, we're dead!
