Darry is upset with Ponyboy because he had accidently fell asleep with Johnny at the drive in. Ponyboy realized it was late and has to go home while he left Johnny there. Ponyboy had went home to Darry who was yelling at him because he was worried. Darry let it get the best of him so he hit Ponyboy. Ponyboy had never been hit before so he didn't know what to do, but run away with Johnny. After they run away Darry realizes he did wrong.
I think that Darry likes Ponyboy in some ways. He kinda thinks that Ponyboy is a good kid.
Ponyboy feels sick but he wants to fight in the rumble anyway, so he can avenge Johnny. He doesn't want Two-Bit to tell Darry this because Darry would make him stay home.

Soda tells Ponyboy that Darry loves him (Ponyboy) but he does not understand him. Ponyboy only see the strict side of Darry.
Ponyboy explains that the main difference between Darry and their father is that Darry is more strict and serious, taking on the role of a guardian after their parents' death. While their father was affectionate and supportive, Darry feels the weight of responsibility for his brothers and often pushes Ponyboy to succeed. This creates tension, as Ponyboy sometimes perceives Darry's strictness as a lack of care, despite Darry's genuine concern for his well-being.
Darry's crying have such a profound effect on Ponyboy because Ponyboy realizes that Darry does care and love him after all. At the beginning of the story Ponyboy thinks Darry doesn't like and he thinks he likes Sodapop. But then of the story when Darry starts crying, Ponyboy realizes that Darry does care about him.
