I own nothing
The paramedics couldn't do anything to save Pony. Darry and Soda were sobbing on the couch after leaving the hospital, Johnny didn't know yet and none of them wanted to tell him.
"Darry, what about the state, what if they take me away from you because of this, I can't lose anyone else" sobbed Soda clinging to his big brother and bawling like a two year old
" they won't Pepsi cola, I'll make sure of it." said Darry, tears rolling down his face. Steve, Two-bit, and Dally went into the kitchen.
"Guys this is our fault" said Steve
"no shit Sherlock" growled Dally
"we thought this would happen yet did what we did anyway, Johnny will probably never talk to us again. We blamed pony for "killing" his best friend, but in reality, we killed Johnny's best friend, those two out there are also never gonna want to see us again, we deserve all the punishment they give us" said Two Bit quietly. Steve sighed.
" what have we done" he whispered
" we broke a family that was already struggling that's what" said Dally punching the door frame.
Pony's pov
The pain only grew as I stepped into the light. I thought dying meant no more pain, guess I was wrong. I fell onto the soft grass trying to catch my breath. I looked at my new wings, some feathers were missing and my body looked a little faded with scars around my heart. I closed my eyes, I just wanted the pain to stop. JOHNNY! I have to find Johnny, I have to tell him I'm sorry. I can't move, it hurts too much and I feel so much weaker than I ever thought possible. Suddenly I feel a gentle pair of arms lift me up and hold me close. Another pair of arms wraps around me too. The pain lessens to a more bearable ache and I rest my head on the chest of the person holding me.
"Darrel what are we going to do? I've never seen a soul so badly damaged" came a voice I knew so well and always wished I could hear again, my mom. I let out a quiet moan, I'm so tired and mom's arms, I know it's her, it has to be, are so comfortable. I feel dad rubbing my back.
" we get him back to our place and make sure he feels loved and wanted" dad says, his voice distant yet slightly commanding and gentle. I feel dad take me from mom's arms and carry me. I fall asleep soon, the wind blowing my hair, or maybe it's mom stroking my head, I don't know or care anymore, the voices are gone.
Mrs. Curtis's POV
I look at pony now resting comfortably on his new bed, my poor little baby, hurt by the people closest to him. I want retribution but there's nothing I can do. I smile slightly as I run my hand through his hair and he snuggles close to it.
" you're safe now baby, mommas here momma has you" I tell him. I quickly scoop him into my arms and hold him close. My husband comes over to me and the two of us sit on the bed holding our boy between us.
" Darrel how long will it be before he heals, I hate seeing my baby like this" I tell him.
" he will eventually heal completely once those who caused his pain apologize and show him they care, but that won't happen until they come here. Johnny will be able to take away his pain but still that won't happen until he is here. We can also help our boy by being there for him and showing him we love him." said Darrel.
Johnny's POV
I hope they understood, damn doctors, where the hell is my best friend, I need him, I know he needs me. I'm sleeping again, God damn it why am I always sleeping when pony needs me! Suddenly I feel as is something just stabbed me in the heart again then ice forms in my stomach. the pain is beyond measure, it's not physical, it's emotional, it's pony, I just know it. Then as suddenly as it came, I had gotten used to the despair pony was feeling, I hated it but I was used to it, the connection vanished. I felt empty, like half of me was just,gone. Oh God Pony what have you done! I think l. Memories of me and him flash before my eyes, a sinking feeling tells me that I was too late with my warning to the guys, damn it, sick or not they should have brought him to me, he needed me and I wasn't there, now he's gone, my best friend, oh hell with it my TWIN BROTHER, was dead! What the hell did the guys do to him? I feel tears run down my face. If I were awake I'd be sobbing. I already miss him so much, now the last thing I'll ever see of him is his scared face. Oh Pony, why did you leave me, I swear I will get revenge on who ever hurt you.
Soda's POV
Pony's gone, it's all my fault. I should have helped him. I shouldn't have hurt him, my poor baby brother. I walk into my room and see a note on the desk.
Even if you don't love me, I will always love you soda
I'll miss you
-Ponyboy
"Oh pony, I do y love you baby, always have, always will. I'm so so so sorry baby." i cry clutching the note to me. Now we have to tell Johnny.
