HEADLINE:

Ponyboy gets slapped by his own brother!!!

On a late tuesday night Ponyboy (14) gets slapped by his older brother Darry at 11:00pm for coming back home late because he (Ponyboy)fell asleep with Johnny in their secret place. The reason this has occurred is because Darry and Ponyboy are having a bad time with each other ever since their parents died, and so if Ponyboy comes late at night Darry would be worried and so this is why Darry(Ponyboy other brother) chose to slap Ponyboy.
