Two-Bit's POV

Steve and I get to the Curtis's house at the same time and he tells me Darry's doing a lot better. Because of this, I decide it's okay to go ahead and be loud- which is a relief since I don't how much more of that whispering I could take. I'm almost running when I get to the door and open it greeting loudly, "Hellooooooo, Curtis family!" "Hellooooooo, Two-Bit!" Ponyboy says from the couch throwing a football at me that I catch and throw back. Steve follows me in and says, "Hey, y'all." "Come on, Steve, that was lame," I criticize. Steve smiles, which throws me off by itself, but discreetly grabs a pillow from the couch and hits me in the stomach with it. "Oh, so that's how you wanna play, huh?" Before I know it, Steve, Soda, Pony, Darry, and I are all whacking each other with pillows. I pin Darry to the ground and say, "Well, you must be feeling better, aren't 'ya?" "You know I am!" Darry says right back and flips me over pinning me down. For probably another fifteen minutes we all just had a bunch of fun. There was laughter, too. Laughter. It was such a wonderful and contagious thing. Darry was laughing even and I wasn't sure if I could remember the last time he laughed. Of course, he didn't laugh as hard as Soda, though, who was laughing and laughing with a smile that could light up a room. It was just a real beautiful moment.
