Ok, here's my first attempt at a fic for the Outsiders. I'm not new here, but to this section of I am. So be nice or rude, don't care. Just please if you read this leave a comment.

I don't own the Outsiders only this plot and if any oc's appear. Read on...

We all knew Darry had no intentions of fighting with Ponyboy, but the kid just had to get into Darry's last nerve. Soda knew he could've done something to shut his kid brother up, but he was frozen in his spot, just watching the argument with wide eyes. Both Pony and Darry were throwing words at eachother like daggers with intentions to kill their opponents. Pony, being the smart kid, drew the last straw that tore the family apart.

"You're the worst brother I could have. I. Hate. You. I prefer to be thrown in jail or go to a boys home, but I don't want to be here another minute." Ponyboy said, with a lot of coldness, pain and hatred put in it.

"Fine, leave. But you'll end up coming back later and I won't be here to open that stupid door and welcome you back with open arms like I used to. You wanna leave, do it. But don't you dare come back Ponyboy Curtis." Darry threw the same coldness and pain towards Pony.

"I always knew you didn't like me. You prefered Sodapop over me all the time. I can't believe I ever trusted you. I should've died in that fire at the church or at the rumble with Dally." Pony shook his head and walked towards his and Soda's room to pack his things.

Soda finally got his brain working and ran towards the direction Pony went.

"Pone, you can't leave. At least not like this. Kid, think it through. Darry's been having hard times at his job and he's tired and frustrated honey. Give him another chance, you can't just go like this. Let me talk to him first and if you still want to leave, then I won't stop you. Just give me that chance to talk to him, please." Soda begged, his tears falling down his cheeks.

Ponyboy let out a sigh and nodded. Soda left the room and to talk to Darry.

"Darry? Darry, where are you?" Sodapop asked searching the house. He walked towards Darry room, but the door was closed. Soda had a bad feeling about something. Soda knocked on the door once, twice, three times and no answer. So Soda just opened the door and let it swing up. He gasped and his tears fell faster. There was his older brother, sprawled on the floor. Chest rising very slowly. Sodapop ran towards his brother and knelt down next to him, trying to wake him up, praying that he was alright.

"Darr, please wake up. Poyboy!" Soda yelled at his kid brother.

"What, did he- oh my gosh, what happened?" Pony asked walking closer to them.

"I don't know, just call an ambulance, quick!" Soda was close to killing Ponyboy for not moving right away, but eventually the kid moved and ran to call for help.

Soon the the ambulance arrived and took Darry. Soda drove them to the hospital in the old truck. Pony was so shocked and scared for Darry.

At the hospital, Soda was pacing back and forth while Ponyboy was sitting on a chair, with his head in his hands. They heard footsteps and walked towards the doctor.

"Doctor, how is he?" Soda asked really worried at seeing the doctor's sad expression.

"He had a heart attack. He barely made it, but we stabalized him, for now." The doctor explained.

"What caused the heart attack?"
"Stress. An argument caused his heart beat to accelerate to much. Eventually his breathing couldn't catch up and caused the heart attack."

Pony couldn't believe his luck. He had caused Darry's heart attack. It was his fault Darry was there. If he hadn't started the fight, none of this would've happened. None of it. But it's too late now. What was done was done.

"Doctor, we need help! We're losing the patient!" A nurse yelled with a frantic look.

"Sorry guys. I'll tell you when we I come back." The doctor ran towards the nurse and they ran into a room closing the door.

Pony feel on his knees and started sobbing. His life was falling apart slowly again. Soda sat next to Pony and hugged him will he too cried.

"I-It's my f-fault he's h-here. I-It's a-always my f-fault."

A few minutes later the doctor walked out, with an even sadder look in his face. Both boys got up and meet the doctor half way.

"I'm sorry. We did all we could, but he passed away." The doctor looked apolegetically at them and walked out. Ponyboy started sobbing even harder. The burden he has to carry untill the day he dies. He provoked Darry's death. Not caring the consequences. Not caring if he'd hurt him badly this time. Or if Darry would hit him. All Soda could do was comfort his kid brother and cry. They'd be sent to a boys home. They'd have to be away from their friends. And nothing would never be the same again.
