Hey. This is my first fanfiction on this account. I will try to make more. Review, and tell me how I did.

Chapter 1

Anyone POV

Tonight, Mr. Curtis and Mrs. Curtis were going out to the country. They were planning to go camping for a few days. They were also taking their three boys: Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry. Ponyboy is almost 14, Sodapop is 17, and Darry is 20.

They were almost ready to leave. they finished packing their bags, and Sodapop and Ponyboy both greased back their hair. Darry decided not to, though. It was gently snowing outside. The news said that there might be some icy roads around town. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis decided to drive a little slower, but didn't think too much of it. They had never been in an accident before, and they were almost certain that wouldn't change tonight.

When it was time to leave, Mr. Curtis started the car. He went outside, got into the drivers' seat, and waited for the rest of the family.

Mrs. Curtis and the boys put the rest of the bags in the truck, and they were off not too long after that. Mr. Curtis and Mrs. Curtis were in the front seat, with Mr. Curtis driving. Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry took the back seat. Sodapop was in the middle, and Pony and Darry were by the windows. Darry was sitting behind Mr. Curtis, and Pony was sitting behind Mrs. Curtis.

Pony and Soda were just talking. Darry was looking out the window. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis were listening to Pony and Soda.

It would be a long drive. A few hours. Pony, Soda, and Darry started playing car games, even though they all knew that they were too old for them. They started playing things like eye-spy, and stuff like that. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis were silently laughing at their sons.

Sodapop was the first one to announce that he was tired.

He started to fall asleep. Surprisingly, Darry was next. Pony felt wide awake though. Since his brothers were tired, he just started to look out the window, and watch the scenery.

Suddenly, a deer had run out in front of the road. Mr. Curtis swerved, trying to miss the deer. The problem was, the roads were icy. The car slid sideways for a second, before they were hit by something again. It was another car, and it had hit the side of the Curtis' car. Mainly where Ponyboy was sitting. There was a piercing scream.

Both cars slid for a bit, before they stopped on the side of the road.

Silence.

Complete silence follows.

Mr. Curtis POV

After what seemed like forever, I finally woke up. I was in pain. I looked down. I was bleeding, and I was cut, but not too bad. I looked over to the passenger seat. My wife looked a bit worse than me. Half of her face was cut and bleeding. Her side of the car had been hit, but more towards the back. She was awake, too.

"You okay?" She asked me. "Yea. When did you wake up?"

She said she just did, and I nodded. I was about to ask her what hurt the worse, but I was cut off my someone yelling out, "MOM! DAD!"

Sodapop POV

I woke up, and I remembered what had happened. I looked to my left, to see Darry. He looked shocked and stunned. I suddenly heard mom and dad talking.

"Yea. When did you wake up?" I heard, but I stopped listening. I looked over at my younger brother. I expected him to look somewhat like Darry... He was almost the complete opposite.

"MOM! DAD!"

Sorry this is such a short chapter. I tried to leave a little cliff hanger. Please review. i want to know how I'm doing so far!
