Hey there!! So here is an one-shot about Darry and his thoughts about hitting his brother. Please Review this. This is my first time writing in Darry's Pov (And I am personally scaried I screwed it up). Please review, I need to know how I did with his POV, emotions and his character. Again I am new at writting about his character. Please Reviews with your thoughts.
The Song Bit for this is "Kryptonite" By 3 Doors Down. Which is an amazing band and this song is one of my all time favorites. I think the whole song fits, but I have to chose just a section. Get a chance listen to it.
Thanks to Samatha, for being a great beta.
Disclamer: I do not own The Outsiders By S.E. Hinton. Nor do I own the song "Kryptonite" By 3 Doors Down.
Enjoy and please review!!
Just a Kid
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
There a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
3 Doors Down
Slap.
Slam.
That was what kept going through my mind.
Slap.
Slam.
How did I get here? How the hell did we all get here? My mind reeled itself to the present.
I had gone too far.
Slap.
I had hit him.
Slam.
Now he was gone.
I slowly started to move backwards and lower myself to the chair. I had hit him.
I had hit a person I loved. A person I had sworn to protect. My baby brother. The brother that, before all this, looked up to me. All before our parents died.
Oh, Mom and Dad. What have I done?
When we were little, he would come to me to protect him. I remember that if there was a storm he would find me. His young green eyes silently telling me to protect him. I would pick him up and rock him. I always told him that God was having a party in heaven. That he was listening to Elvis and was dancing. He would believe me and snuggle into me, falling asleep.
To him, I was Superman.
Now I had hit him. Superman doesn't hit his brother, the people he loved the most.
I looked down to my hand and noticed the redness that was swelling. I felt a wetness running down my cheeks. I realized that I was crying.
Superman doesn't break down. Superman doesn't hit his brother.
I'm not Superman.
I'm just a kid.
So there is the ending. Hope you liked it. Please, please review. Again this is my first time drabbling with Darry's character, and I want to know how I did.
Thanks for reading!! Please review.
