    Summary

    Michael had always been the mitigator of their family. He held onto Ponyboy's ramblings about feeling left out, kept Sodapop sane when Sandy's abandonment came back to haunt him, and covered the bills Darry's job wouldn't be able to cover.


    Michael Curtis, at nineteen, was the second oldest of them all. The sarcastic, funny and 'lazy' one who never could get his words out right. Life, after their parents' deaths, leaves him feeling numb and out of control; something he gets back in a 'magic cure' his coworker hooks him up with. But nothing worth having is free.

    Summary

    Darry Curtis lost both of his parents in an unfortunate accident. He was somewhat lucky though. He’s an adult and he’ll inherit the house and his father’s company. His life will change, but it won’t lose everything he’s ever known at least. The same can’t be said for everyone though. Another couple died in the accident, the parents of two boys from the East side that are now being put into the foster system. Something about the unfairness has Darry make a big decision. Although maybe he would’ve thought more about it if he knew what taking on the Miller brothers really entailed.
