   Summary

   The next day he’d called his school, giving up his full ride, his football, and his college years to stay and take care of his kid brothers. Crazy how a matter of seconds can turn someone from a brother to a father.

   A week later, Darry is standing with Sodapop and Ponyboy watching as what’s left of their parents is lowered into the ground. Ponyboy is sobbing, and Darry watches as he witnesses Dallas crying. He’s surprised.

   He's even more surprised to see Paul Holden. Distant, but still there. Darry’s parents were always a fan of Paul, always loving how polite he was, how smart he was, and how good of a friend he was. He had flown back from Oregon to attend.
