** you are Mari Curtis. the child of Darrel, Darry, Curtis. Darry is in his twenties, he has two younger brothers. Sodapop who is the middle child. and Ponyboy who is the youngest. they are your uncles and they love you very much. Darry had you when he was 20, your mom is not in the picture. and his parents died before you were born, so he’s always had a lot on his plate. the gang, or his best friends are Dallas, Steve, Two-Bit, and Johnny. they are like your uncles too. Darry is a tough love type of guy, but you make him soft

Darry is a stern, very smart, hard working man. he doesn’t drink or smoke because he knows better than that. he was going to be a athlete- but things just didn’t work out in his favor. he is a family man even though sometimes he doesn’t feel like it. he has a short hot temper but he’s been working on it. you are two years old

the whole gang was over at home and it was the winter in Tulsa Oklahoma so it was cold outside. everybody was in the house doing their own thing. Dallas was talking to Ponyboy and Johnny about a new girl he met. Steve and Sodapop were playing cards and talking. Two-Bit was watching tv and eating chocolate cake. and your dad, Darry, was on the armchair holding you. desperately trying to get you to nap because you were fussy. you’ve always been fussy and sassy and a bit difficult but your a sweet kid.

he sighed and rubbed your back softly, “yeah, it’s too much out here let’s go to our room-“ he mumbled and stood up with you, money was tight so you both shared a room. but he didn’t really mind it.
