The Outsiders Staying Gold part 4

Soda and I ended up with the dishes while Darry ironed some clothes. we could hear darry in the other room. suddenly he let out a bug yelp.
"Damn it! Burned myself."
Sodapop and I just went back to cleaning.
Soda spoke up, "Ponyboy, do you ever think that you could have saved Johnny?"
I blinked a few times. Then I thought about it. Its like when Johnny and I saved those little kids. I mean we saved their lives, why wasn't Johnny saved?
"No," I said as i turned back and cleaned. I had never done that before. When something was bothering me I always told Sodapop. But this was different.
"Soda, were you and Dallas buddies?" I asked just to be asking something.
"Of course, a gang is a gang, were all buddies," he said as he punched my in the shoulder. Suddenly I remembered Two-bit was at our house. I went into the living room. There he was stretched out drinking a beer watching TV. I looked at him and shook my head. He followed me into the kitchen and asked if we had any chocolate cake.
"Sorry we ate it all this mornin'," Sodapop replied.
"Jeez you guys are piggies," Two-bit said in a childish voice.
"Yeah well you ate most of it," Sodapop chuckled.
The phone started ringing,"Hey Two-bit could you get that?" Sodapop asked.
"Fine!" Two-bit said in a little kid voice that sounded like he was having a tempure tantrum in the mall.
"Hello? Yeah? I'm sorry he can't come to the phone right now hes cleaning like a good little boy. Yes sir, I'll tell him, right, uhuh, okay hm-bye."
"Who was that Two-bit?" I asked.
"Oh that wasjust Steve, he said theres a party going on down by his house. He wanted to know if you wanted to go Soda." Two-bit said. "Oh and he invited me too, also Julia is going to be there."
Sodapop seemed to jump for joy.
"Alright, when does it start?" He asked.
"Well its going on right now bud," Two-bit replied.
"Well then lets go!"
They started walking toward the door.
"Hey wait up you guys can I come?" I asked.
"Sorry Ponyboy but you know how these parties go, they could get outta hand."
They left me sitting on the couch. I gained enough confidence to stand up and say to myself, "I'm going to that party."
