i never thanked you guys for 1k views! thank you guys sm!

darry yells at you for coming home late and soda comforts you.

im grounded for two weeks for coming home five minutes late! i think it's stupid but when you have darry as an older brother you better be on time. we ended up getting into a bad argument and now im punished by not having dinner. darry really goes overboard with his punishments.

i silently cried while sitting on my bed. i can't have darry hear me crying. i don't understand how pony can get yelled at so much by darry and not shed one tear. when someone raises their voice at me i feel a lump in my throat form like im about to sob any second.

then my door opened and in came pony holding some food on a plate. i quickly wiped my tears away but im pretty sure he had already noticed them.

"i brought you some food," he said sitting on the bed next to me. "its not fair that you don't get to eat."

i chuckled and took the food from him. "thanks little guy." i said ruffling up his hair.

"well i better go before darry skins me too."

"okay" i sighed.

he walked over to the door, "see ya" he said and left closing the door behind him.

i ate the food pony gave me. it wasn't a lot but it was something. he must have snuck it while darry had his back turned.

a couple hours later there was a knock on my door and soda walked in. i gave him a sad smile and he gave me one too. he sat next to me on the bed. "have you been crying?"

i looked away and shook my head. he could tell i was lying to him. i knew that, i just didn't wanna answer any questions from him.

"you know darry didn't mean anything he says when he's mad right?" he told me.

i shrugged. "i don't know. maybe he just hates me."

"no he doesn't. don't say that. you know he loves you, he just is stressed with all that's going on right now." soda said.

"yeah..." i said unconvinced.

"he loves you very much! he just gets really stressed sometimes." he said.

"oh yeah? do you think he loves me even after he called me worthless?!" i scoffed.

soda looked down. "sometimes people say what they don't mean when they're angry."

"yeah sure." i said.

"hey, look at me y/n," i looked at him dead in the eye. "darry could've worked his way through college and left you! i think you should show a little appreciation sometimes! sure, darry shouldn't yell at you for everything you do, but the least you could do is appreciate what he has done for you!"

i looked away from him almost immediately. i never really paid any attention to darry's problems. i just assumed he just hated me. now i feel like a terrible sister.

"soda...am i a terrible sister?" i whimpered.

"no! no you're not y/n," he said pulling me into a tight hug. "darry loves you. the only reason he's hard on you is because he's afraid to loose you...like we lost mom and dad."

i was a little taken back by that response. we never talk about mom and dad. i miss them. i miss them a lot. it affected all of us. some more than others.

"you think i should apologize to darry?" i asked.

"how about you just do what he asks for now on. treat him a little bit nicer. he'll come around and apologize. i know he will, he doesn't want this family to fall apart." soda said.

"okay," i nodded and fell asleep on sodas chest.

sorry i kinda died for a couple days lol. imagines take longer to make so my updates will be a bit slower.
