Summary
There’s an unfrosted cake sitting in the center of their table, and it’s rotting away.
Darry tries to ignore it. His eyes, head, chest, limbs themselves throb every time he looks at it—so he doesn’t. No one’s touched it, even though they’ve scrubbed every other inch of the house far past clean by now. It simply sits there, made stale by unrestricted air that dries it out and makes it unappetizing in addition to completely untouchable.
The ants will have their way soon, though, because for the first time in Darry’s memory, a chocolate cake has gone uneaten for an entire two weeks.
-
it’s been two weeks, and their parents are dead, and darry’s brothers are drowning in tears. darry’s just. drowning.

Summary
“I can’t even buy bread ‘cuz my check’s not comin’ in. What kind of brother am I?”
“A damn good one.” Soda affirms, voice unwavering, “One who kept us all together, who left everything behind for us. Who breaks his back to put a roof over our heads and food on the table.”
Darry and Pony have always loved each other - they just show it in ways that don't make a lot of sense to people. And in the aftermath of the fire, Pony starts to understand Darry's hiding a lot more than he says and Darry learns that love doesn't have to be so complicated.

Summary
This is the events of The Outsiders, pre-book, from the perspective of Darry. I LOVE Ponyboy with all my heart, but he is a bit of an unreliable narrator. This is all of the things he didn't see, the conversations he wasn't a part of, the reason for his misunderstanding of his big brother.
