It has been 5 years since the gang was all together in one place. Soda left and went to Florida to win Sandy back about 1 year after Dally and Johnny died. Him and Sandy have a daughter named Sugar now. At first I thought it was a little weird that they decided to name her that, but the moment I met her I knew the name suited her, she was sweet just like sugar. Cherry goes to a local college around here somewhere. I can’t remember exactly where but she’s close enough that we hang out almost every weekend and watch the sunset together. She sure was something, that Cherry Valance. Sometimes I think about what it would be like to go out with her but I can never work up the courage to ask her. I mean I’m a greaser. And even though we haven’t had

Finally the doctor came out and walked over to us.
“Well, that was one nasty accident. He’ll be ok but he's gonna be paralyzed from the waist down.”
No! I thought not again i've already lost Johnny and Dally I can't lose Darry. Sure we fight but he’s my brother and I love him.
“He will need physical therapy and a lot of love and comfort” the doctor had said Over the next couple months I helped Darry with his physical therapy and I did things like laundry and fixed dinner things like that. After a couple weeks Soda, Sandy and their daughter went back to Florida so it was just me and Darry. I’ve been keeping an eye on him ever since. Eventually Darry was able to do some things like he used to. Sometimes he wouldn't let me help him, said that he needed to learn to do these things by himself again.
One morning I woke up earlier than usual so I decided to go for walk. It was cold outside and I wasn’t wearing a coat so the wind didn’t help much. After walking a few blocks I sat down on the curb and lit a cigarette.
“Ponyboy is that you?” said a voice, I turned to see Cherry running towards …show more content…
I worry about him sometimes”
“Oh Pony it’s been over a year since his accident. And you know that all he wants more than anything is for you to go to college. It would break his heart if you didn’t” she said. I turned to look at her.
“Oh I know it!” I said, I could feel my cheeks gettin’ red.
“Calm down Pony. It’ll work out you’ll see. But you gotta tell him”
“I know. I will. Tonight” I said smiling at her. She smiled back. She sure did know how to make me feel better.
Cherry and I hung out and just talked all day. When night time came we went to the Nightly Double and watched what was playing, we got kicked out for throwing popcorn at each other though. But we didn’t mind that much the movies playing weren’t that good anyways. She walked me home. We talked about the sunset that had happened the previous night. We do that, if we aren’t together to see it we talk about it the next time we see each other. By the time we got to my house Cherry was babbling on about some teacher but I wasn’t listening because I was thinking about how much I liked her and about how we have been friends for a while now and then the words just came
