Save You by Simple Plan
Darry Pov
Take a breath
I pull myself together
Just another step, until I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away
Gosh, poor Ponyboy. I feel so bad for him. I mean, our parents died, and he just turned fourteen! That's too young! Nobody should have to deal with that, especially at such a young age. I walk towards the door, watching him sleep.
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever
I want you to know
I wish I could help Pony more than I am. I know I gave up college, but that doesn't feel like enough. Call me crazy, but I think it's true. I mean, he's my baby brother!
When I hear your voice
It's drowning in the whispers
You're just skin and bones
There's nothing left to take
No matter what I do
I can't make you feel better
If only I could find the answer
To help me understand
"Darry?" I heard. I quickly looked at Ponyboy, and swiftly walked to his side, and crouched down. Oh my gosh! He's lost so much weight.
"Yes?" I ask him. Tears fill his eyes, and I can barely hear his response.
"I miss mom and dad." He says quietly. I sit down on the bed and hold him, wishing all of this never happened.
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever
I want you to know
"Shh, honey. I know it's hard right now, but it'll get better. I promise." I tell him, trying to soothe him. The sight of him like this breaks my heart.
If you fall, stumble down
I'll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up
Cause I'll be waiting if you fall
You know I'll be there for you
"You do?" Pony says, looking hopeful.
"Yes baby, I promise." I say, and he looks relieved. He snuggles closer to me, and I hold him tighter.
If only I could find the answer
To take it all away
It will take awhile to get things settled, but I know that Ponyboy will feel better, and the gang, Soda, and I will help him through it.
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever
I want you to know
I wish I could save you
I want you to know
I wish I could save you
This is one of my favorite songs by Simple Plan. I heard it a few times, and then I thought of Darry and Ponyboy. I don't own The Outsiders, or Simple Plan. Also, check out the video on Youtube (I don't own that either) It's sad, but it makes you think. This song is written by Pierre Bouvier, the lead singer of Simple Plan. He wrote it because his brother, Jay, got cancer. Jay survived it, and is currently doing well. The video has people in it who have had cancer or are related to someone who had cancer. This fanfic is a one-shot, but I'm going to make more to put in "Simple Plan". Let me explain, I'm going to take songs by Simple Plan, and make them into fanfics, like I did with this one. But, I'm going to put all of them in the same fanfic titled "Simple Plan" If you have any questions, just put it in a comment.
