Because he loves and cares for Darry too. It is a natural reaction for anyone to call out for a loved one when they are sick and Ponyboy loves both his brothers
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.
After the fire Darry tells Ponyboy that he was scared of death because Ponyboy ran away. Darry tells Ponyboy that he is sorry for what he did to Ponyboy.
His brothers Darry and Soda get worried that he is out past his curfew and Darry got mad at Ponyboy and hit him after Soda was sticking up for Ponyboy and then Darry started to yell at Soda and then Ponyboy started yelling at Darry for yelling at Soda and after that was when Darry hit Ponyboy.
Ponyboy's two brothers are Darrel Shaynne Curtis, Jr. (called Darry) and Sodapop Patrick Curtis. Darry is the oldest and Sodapop is the middle brother.
When Ponyboy comes home late from sleeping in the lot after the movie with Johnny Darry hits Ponyboy in the face. Then Ponyboy runs away. Also, they always fight about how Ponyboy doesn't use his head. One time Sodapop gets affected by their fighting and runs away!

I think that Darry likes Ponyboy in some ways. He kinda thinks that Ponyboy is a good kid.
Darry slaps Ponyboy because ponyboy was sassing back at him
When Ponyboy comes in after his curfew in "The Outsiders," he is scolded by his older brother, Darry. Darry is angry and worried about Ponyboy breaking curfew because he is concerned for his safety and well-being. Ponyboy then storms off in a fit of frustration.
Soda tells Ponyboy that Darry loves him (Ponyboy) but he does not understand him. Ponyboy only see the strict side of Darry.
Darry slapped Ponyboy during an arguement. Ponyboy had fallen asleep in the vacant lot with Johnny and hadn't gotten home until 2 AM. Soda tried to stick up for Ponyboy and Darry yelled at Soda. When Ponyboy raised his voice to his oldest brother, Darry hit him. Darry was not really angry at Pony...he was just scared that something had happened to him and was upset that Pony had done something as careless as fall asleep in the lot.
The person who called Darry was his teacher amnd he wanted to know if Ponyboy can do his missed work.
