Pony's POV

I didn't know where I was going but I had to get away. I just ran and ran. And before I knew it I was in Soc territory. I know I thought to myself, as I looked around trying to figure about how to get back to my house. I would rather be home than being curb stomped by Socs. "Hey grease. Are you lost or are you just stupid?" I shivered at the sound of that voice. The hair on my neck stood up. "I'm just leaving. I really don't need any trouble." " Hey aren't you Darry's kid brother." " Yeah. What's it to you?" " I went to highschool with him." " Great to know." " Yeah I didn't like him too much." As he said that he pulled out his switch and stabbed me in my side, it hurt something awful as I tumbled over to the ground in agony and pain, as darkness came over me.

Darry hasn't said much since we set off looking for Ponyboy. He would just shake his head sometimes and smirk. " Darry don't worry we'll find him." " I know we'll find him little buddy. I just hope, we find him before the Socs do." I had never thought about that. I shivered at the thought at Pony getting jumped. Man as if his life wasn't screwed up enough already. " Don't worry Pepsi-cola, it was just a thought." "I hope your right Darry. Hey, lets go check home with Steve and Two-Bit." I just hope he is there! We walked through the door and saw Steve and Two-Bit sitting on the couch. "You've seen him," Darry asked in a very stern voice. "Yeah but he ran off. He was at Bucks with Dally and Johnny." What! Me and Darry both have warned him about going there. I swear I don't know what goes through his head any more. "Well where is he," I wanted to have a nice long talk with him. And then Darry would lay into him. Although Darry is quite new to this parenting thing. "He ran out. We don't know where he went. We tried looking for him but he was no where in sight. Me and Steve here think he may have wandered into," Oh no he better not say it "Soc territory." No, not my baby brother. " I'll get the keys. Two-Bit you and Steve ride in your car." I've never seen Darry quite angry. "Let's go Soda your riding with me." I followed Darry out to his car and we sped away with Two-Bit and Steve right on our tail. I was worried about our little brother. We weren't gonna lose another member of this family. I let a tear run down my face as I saw the heap on the ground. My heart sank and I just new that had to be Pony.

Soda shuddered as we came up to Pony laying on the ground with blood pouring from his side. Two-Bit and Steve arrived up next to us. Two-Bit was biting his knuckle and squeezed his eyes shut. I picked up Pony and carried him to the car. We had to get him to the hospital. I turned around to see Steve hugging Soda trying to calm him down. "Meet me at the hospital." I said as I was driving away. I had no time to wait for them. Pony was losing blood, fast. I looked back at him. He looked so helpless and pale. We reached the hospital and I took him out. I ran out into the hospital. I heard the desk lady gasp. "Someone help me! Please." I doctor came rushing out with a gurney. "We're gonna need a blood transplant," I heard a doctor say as the doctors and my poor baby brother made his way through the swaying doors. Stupid Socs. They are gonna pay for this. I looked into my hands and sobbed. I didn't care who saw either. Especially as I thought of what I was gonna have to do. I walked up to the lady at the desk and asked "I would like to check Ponyboy Curtis into the" I choked off. "Into the pysch ward please." "Ok and what for." "For Self destructive actions." "Alright we'll let you know about his release date." "Thank you." I walked outside as the gang arrived and began to sob.
