Two-Bit's POV

I hated seeing the kid like this. He's out cold on the couch. He would start yelling in his sleep and would even start thrashing around and points. I was terrified. It was almost impossible to watch.

Ponyboy. Our Ponyboy. Has been introduced to this world far too early. He's still a wolf pup. It'll be another 2 or 3 months before his first transformation. It wasn't fair. Then again, it was also stupid to assume we would be able to hide it from him until then. It was a really stupid move on our part. I just hope the kid's gonna be okay.

Johnny's POV

Poor Pony. He shouldn't be going through this. He's the little brother in the group. He's innocent compared to the rest of us. He didn't even do anything wrong. Why would the socs do this to him.

I hate feeling like this. It's like I'm completely useless when Pony starts thrashing or screaming out the gangs names in his sleep. He's hurt himself once already.

He's nothing more than a pup. He still needs to be taken care of. It's not fair that he has to go through this. I will do whatever it takes to make things right.

Dally's POV

I pulled a stick out of my back pocket and stepped outside. I couldn't stand being in that house. Not with Pony in this situation at least. Man. The kid's an idiot. Darry's even worse. I just hope things get better with him. The poor kid has everything goin' for 'im.

I can't stand seeing him laying on that couch. I've never understood how someone like him could still be so nice after what he's been through.

I understand now. Why Pony likes sunsets. They're relaxing. It's a nice way to pick up a broad. I'll have to keep this in mind.

Steve's POV

Stupid kid. He's making Soda worry. Even though I won't admit it I care about him. He's not that bad. He's still just a pup though. He doesn't need to be hangin' around Soda all the time.

I know the kid gets annoying and I wish he would leave us alone but this is too much. I hate hearing him scream my name. I haven't treated him right and he still cares about me. I just wish the kid would shut up.

Soda's POV

Please be okay Pony. I know you were thrown into this relatively quickly. I can't imagine how hard this is for you. Please be okay baby bro. The gangs worried about ya'. I just wish we hadn't hidden this from you. I hate that we did. Please Pony wake up soon. I hate seein' ya thrashin' and screamin'. It reminds me how much of a pup you really are. U just wish this would stop. I can't keep pretendin' like this is alright. Damn Pony.

This is all our fault. We shoulda told ya. We shoulda made sure you knew about all this. I can't handle knowin' that this is all our fault. Look Pony you need to wake up. I can't take this no more.

Darry's POV

Damn it Pony. You need to wake the hell up. I can't believe that this is happening to ya. Our little brother. The one person in the group who has a chance. Fuck kid. Yer makin' everyone worried. Just wake the hell up okay? I promise I won't be as hard on ya.

You know. Now that I think about it ya never were that bad. I never gave ya a chance to prove yerself. I was always so hard on ya. I need ya here with me Pone. I want to make things right. This can't go on forever. Ya need ta know the truth. Wake up kid. I can't stand the sight of you thrashin' anymore.

Third Person POV

The gang sat in the living room watching TV. Darry was reading the paper. His eyes would dart over to Pony every now and then to see how he was holding up. Two Bit was trying to pay attention to the the TV but his mind was elsewhere. He couldn't keep his mind off of Ponyboy. Dally sat next to the couch. He was watching Pony like a hawk. Johnny decided that it would be smart to stay out of Dally's way so he sat by Pony's feet.

They sat in silence for a while. None of them dared to speak. Ponyboy hadn't said a word in about 10 minutes which worried the gang. They know how hard it is to figure out about your wolf side. It's a hard thing to come to terms with.

"We can't keep quiet about this anymore." Two-Bit's carried a strange tone to it. It was unusual to come out of his mouth. He was serious. There were no jokes to be said, no smart ass comments, nothing. He was just… serious.

"Two-Bit's right. This all happened because we hid it from him." Soda just nodded in agreement with Darry's words. He knew fully well that Darry was right. It's not an easy thing to accept though.

"It's time guys. We'll wait til' he wakes up." Dally stared at the other members for a moment daring them to disagree. They all nodded their heads. Johnny opened his mouth to say something when a blood curtling scream ripped its way out of Ponyboy's throat.

Please be okay, was the one thought everyone shared as they watched the youngest scream and thrash in his sleep. His cries echoing throughout the room as they waited for him to wake up. They were all ready to just give up hope that they would have any clue as to what was going on in the kids head. He never really screamed out much other than the gangs names. They were expecting the same thing time when he said the most surprising thing anyone could have ever heard.

"Two-Bit! Help!" His arms flailed about in a frantic manner as he screamed for the jokesters name. He was thrashing his arms around in an attempt to grab onto something. His hands managed to grab a pillow that he ended up chucking across the room.

Two-Bit's POV

I was at the kid's side as fast as I was able to. Not once had we heard him call out a single gang member. He always wanted everyone there. I was questioning why he was just screaming out my name until I realized that I was one of the gang members who didn't treat him like a kid often.

I grabbed onto Ponyboy's arms and started whispering soothing words into his ear until his screaming and turned into quiet sobs. I was surprised to see how young the kid looked lying on the couch. He reminded me of a little kid who had a nightmare.

That's all Ponyboy is really. A child. He's not like most greasers. He still holds onto childish things and still needs taken care of. He's just a pup. He needs to be watched over but also needs his space. Maybe that's why the gang members want to protect him so much. Maybe that's why they care so much about the 14 year old kid on the couch.

I want Pony to be safe. He needs to be protected still. There's not much more to it. Now that he knows he's going to start being hunted. I'll talk Steve and Johnny into going to school more often so they can help protect Pony. Maybe even Dally'll come more. I don't know. The only important thing is that this gets sorted out. Pony can't live like this.

And I'll do everything I can to make sure he doesn't have to.

A/N Sorry it took me so long to update. I'm doing the best I can. I know this isn't the best chapter I've written but I'll make sure I start writing better.
