Summary
“Johnny?” I ask.
“Yeah?”
“Thanks for being there. And not makin’ me talk or anything. Just knowin’ what I needed. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, and that I was bein’ snappy earlier. I thought it wouldn’t make me look very tuff.”
Johnny turns to face me.
“Pony, you know I already think you’re tuff, right?” He says. “You ain’t gotta pretend. And I was just returnin’ a favor, you know? I think we get each other, even without sayin’ anything.”

Summary
“I still feel like that a lot, though," I say. "Like I’m not enough. It’s hard to drown it out when both my brothers are goin’ to work and school and doin’ things worthwhile.”
“Wow, workin’ with me ain’t worthwhile? I’m offended,” Steve says with a mock scoff.
“I didn’t mean it like that. I just………I don’t want to end up like my dad, not finishin’ high school and then gettin’ stuck in some dead end job, breakin’ my back all day to barely make ends meet. It’s what he did, and it’s what Darry does. I don’t mind workin’ at the DX or anything, but I want it to be enough.”
“Well, it is. Just ‘cause you ain’t goin’ to college or nothin’ doesn’t make your work count less. Soda, you’re the light that keeps us all together. I don’t know what we’d do without you. I promise, you’re enough just bein’ you. You ain’t gotta be gettin’ straight As or bringin’ home six figures to prove it.”
“Thanks, Stevie."
