Now...On with the story!


...Pony's POV

I felt a cold hand slap me across the head. I wasn't who I though it was...

It was Dally. Cold, wet and bleeding.

"Oww Dally! That hurt!" I yelled as I sat up, and looked at him. "What on Earth happened to you?" "Man, I got into a fight, at Buck's place. It's a long story." He ran one of his hands through his hair. "Well, I've got time. You can tell me while I clean you up." I said as I went to get the first-aid kit.

... Dally's POV

I figured I better tell him, or I'd have Darry on my case too.

"I was at Buck's place, he was throwin' a party. I had this nice broad. Brunette, blue eyes, pretty little thing. We went up to the room and started makin' out." I saw Pony's ears getting red as he cleaned the cuts. "Then her boyfriend shows up. And what do you know, it's Tim Sheperd girl. He was still mad at me 'cause he thinks I slashed his tires. So we start fair fightin'. So I left, and it started rainin'. Then I ended up here."

"So why'd you hit me then?" Pony asked me with a strange look on his face. "I had wake you up somehow man!" I started laughing.

...Pony's POV

He hit me cause he had to wake me up? I couldn't help but laugh. Next thing, Two-Bit and Johnny came in the house. Two-Bit was drunk as usual.

"HEY DALLY! What's up man?" Two-Bit said, almost falling over. I grinned. "Nothin' man, gettin' cleaned up. Got into a fight with Tim Sheperd tonight. Hey Johnny." He replied as he took Two-Bit under his arm. "Hey." Johnny mumbled under his breath. I could tell he wanted them to leave.

A little while later, Two-Bit and Dally left. I was left alone with Johnny again. He smiled at me, and sat beside me. I smiled back and grabbed his hand.

We went to bed before Darry and Soda got home. We didn't need more questions, it would only be too weird.

...Johnny's POV

I got in bed next to Ponyboy. The way the streetlight hit his hair, made him seem old. Way old. Like 18.

I kept my shirt on tonight, I knew all my bruises and scars made Pony mad. Before I fell asleep, I heard Ponyboy whispered into my ear. 'I love you Johnny Cade, and I won't let anyone hurt you. You are mine.' He kissed my cheek and went to sleep.

I woke up the next day before anyone. I put on my jacket and sneakers, took one last look at the one I loved, lit a cigarette, and walked out the door.

...Pony's POV

I woke up only to find I was left alone in the bed. A few tears snuck out of my eyes. I wiped them away. I would not cry over Johnny. I would see him again. But it still felt like I was abandoned. Left all alone in a big mess of the world.
