Oh why you look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now

Emma walked towards the Curtis house with tears streaming down her face. She had gotten into another fight with some dumb blonde that Dallas had brought home. She had called Emma a slut and Emma had run out of there like the devil was after her in tears. She was going to see Pony. He said to come over whenever she needed to.

Don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

Cause I've seen the dark side too.

She was glad to have Pony on her side. Because they had been through thick and thin together. She was there for him when his parents died. He was always there for her when her brother got hauled into jail. Or her parents abused her. She knew she needed him now of all times.

When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do

Nothing you confess could make me love you less

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

So if your mad, get mad

Don't hold it all inside

Come on and talk to me now

When she reached the Curtis house she kocked on the door hoping that Pony would answer. But it wasn't him. It was his big brother Darry.

"Is Pony home?" asked Emma.

"You just missed him," said Darry. "He went to the lot find Johnny."

"Thanks," said Emma. She walked off in search of Pony. She needed a friend to talk. To vent about what had happened. She knew she could vent to both Pony and Johnny. So she headed to the lot.

Hey what you got to hide?

I get angry too

Well, I'm a lot like you

When your standing at the crossroads

And don't know which path to chose

Let me come along

cause even if your wrong

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you

She caught up to Pony. Johnny had went home before she had got there.

"What's wrong?" asked Pony seeing that she was crying.

"One Dally's skanks called me a slut and Dally did nothing about," said Emma. "It makes me mad that he never stands up for."

"I know," said Pony taking Emma's hand and leading her over to the swing set of the park they were nearing.

It was just nice to have someone listen to her so Emma started in on what had happened earlier.

And when and when the night falls on you, baby

Your feeling all alone, you won't be on your own

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

And I'll never desert you

Then it happened. Pony pulled her closer. And then their lips met in a brief kiss. Emma wished this would never end. Pony cared for her and that was all that matered to her. Even if her parents abused her. And her brother didn't stand up for. She still had Pony.

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

"Don't worry Emma," said Pony, "I'll stand by you."

They walked back to Pony's house for the evening.

The End
