In Chapter 12, Darry and Ponyboy begin to argue about Pony's grades and Sodapop unexpectedly runs out of the house. Pony is confused as to why Sodapop ran out of the house, and Darry picks up a letter from Sandy that was returned unopened. Darry explains to Pony that Soda had told him that he loved Sandy before she left for Florida. Darry also says Soda cried all week when Pony was gone after Sandy left for Florida. Ponyboy and Darry then run after Sodapop and catch up to him. When Darry and Pony find Sodapop, he says he is sick of their constant fighting. Sodapop says he feels like he's in a tug-of-war match between the two and he's being pulled apart. Sodapop says it is extremely hard for him to pick sides when they are fighting with each other because he supports both of them. He is simply sick of being the middleman and wants his two brothers to get along.
