Last Chapter: "Hey, I Soda," Soda said to Pony. "Me Pony," Pony said. "Do yous wanna to play with me?" Soda asked. "Okay," Pony said.

"Uglier then a frog, well my boy, your uglier then me!" Soda yelled at Pony.

"Because Darry tricked me," Soda said. "How?" Pony asked. "By Going behind a tree and telling me things you said when you really didn't," Soda said. "Why?" Pony asked. Sodapop laid by Pony and Pony put his head on Soda's chest. "Because he knows I love you," Sodapop said.

"Because if Darry sees me, I'll be a dead man," Soda said. Ponyboy looked at Soda for a minute and got up. "Soda this is your house and you should be able to go as you please," Pony said putting his underwear on. "I know but your brother makes me feel so unwelcome," Soda said. "Why can't you two just get along?" Pony asked.

"You like playing with my brother don't cha, you just can't leave him alone, your a dead man, "Darry said getting ready to hit Soda.

"Pony, you home," Soda yelled walking in the door. "No, but I'm here," Darry said walking out of the bathroom.

"Hey, Pony you alright," Soda asked coming over to Pony. "Yeah, I'm fine, "Pony started to cry. "Hey, I'll never let any one lay a hand on you, ever again, "Soda said hugging Ponyboy. "Even you, "he mouthed to Darry.

"After high school will you marry me?" Soda asked. "Yes," Pony said.

"You know that I will marry you some day and we'll have a house with kids, "Soda said. "Is that what you want?" Ponyboy asked with a smile. "Yeah," Soda said. "I want it to," Pony said.

"Our parents had accident, our dad is dead but our mom is fating real fast," Darry said.

"Pony, you may want to sit down, "Soda said softy, "Theres begin an accident."

"You're better then a pillow," Pony said falling asleep. Soda pulled Pony closer and kissed his head. "Soda," Pony said. "What?" Soda asked. "You'll still be here when I wake up," Pony asked. "Yeah, "Soda answered.


"Hey," Ponyboy said to Darry."Hey," Darry said. "How's mom? "Pony asked. Soda and him just got here. Darry was seating in the waiting room. "Their not telling me anything thing, "Darry said. Darry looked around. "Where's Perry?" Darry asked." He is in the restroom, "Pony said. It was a little while until they heard anything. The doctors did everything they could but Pearl Curtis died.

"Come on, Ponyboy lets go home, "Darry said. "No, I want to go with Soda, "Pony said. "What, Ponyboy we just lost our parents right now and all you want to do is fuck your boyfriend, I thought-

"I don't care what you think or thought Darry, I just want to be with the one I love the most, so I know I still have him!" Pony yelled. He took Soda's hand. "Lets go Soda," Pony said walking away.

Later

Laying on Soda's bed and using him as a pillow, Pony cried for what seemed like hours. Than he looked up at Soda and said," Please don't leave me, every." Soda was surprised. Pony didn't talk the ride home and as soon as they laid down he started crying. Soda thought they'd talk in the morning, that is if Pony was ready to. "I won't, I promise," Soda said kissing Pony's head. Pony looked up into Soda's eyes. Soda saw sadness and fear. "Good, because I can't live without you, I don't know what I'd do, I don't know what I'm going to do now my parents are dead. I can't live with Darry. Soda, something is wrong with him, "Pony said. "Whats wrong?" Soda asked. "One day I was taking a shower and then he just got in. I told him to get out and he tried to kiss me," Pony said. "Is that all?" Soda asked getting angry. "There are nights when he will come in my room and tr-y to do th-ings to m-e. Whenever I ta-lk about you he ge-ts m-ad and hits something" Pony cried. He was scared and felt so alone. Soda was the only person he told. He wanted and needed help. "I'm going to kill him," Soda said pissed off. No body does that to his Pony. "No, Soda please don't do anything that would take you away from me, "Pony said. "Okay," Soda said. "What are we going to do? Pony said. "I don't know Pony," Soda said pulling Pony closer, "But I'll do my best to protect you."


Pony looked at the two soldiers in front of him. There was a big blond one with blue eyes. The other was a small guy with battle wounds. Their faces were cold, showed no emotion. They didn't care about anything. "Could you say that again?" Pony asked. The bigger of the two said in his cold annoyed, "Sodapop Perry badly hurt, he was taken to a hospital and will be sent back home.....that is if he survives, "he said not really caring. "What happened?" Pony asked." He had taken a blow to the stomach and has a head injury," the smaller one said. "T-hank you," Ponyboy said trying not to cry. The soldiers nodded good-bye and walked away." Heartless bastards, "Pony said as they walked away. As soon as he couldn't see them, he ran to the lot and cried until Two-bit, Dally, and Johnny showed up. "What wrong?" Two-bit asked. Johnny sat down next to him and rubbed his back. "Soda was badly hurt and was taken to a hospital. They said they'll send him home, "Pony said and rubbed his eyes with the back of the his hand. "Thats a good thing, isn't it? "Dally asked confused. "Yeah, if he survives, "Pony said. He started to cry again. "Come on, Pony, "Two-Bit said, "Don't think about that, he will come back. "Pony looked at his friends and smiled. "Yeah, your right, "Pony said. He got up and so did the others. "Come on, lets go see Winona, shes missed you, Ponyboy, "Two-bit said. They all started walking to Two-bit's house.


"I can't leave you like this Pony, "Sodapop said. "Yes you can and you will," Pony said. They were at Soda's apartment and Pony was sitting on Soda's lap. "No, I'm not, Ponyboy if I go I'll miss the big parts of this ,"Sodapop said rubbing Pony's stomach, "And afterwards." Pony smiled and kissed Soda's cheek. "You don't have a choice, we'll still be here when you come back, "Pony said. "Alright I'll go but you got to tell me everything and I mean everything," Soda said with a smile. "I will tell you everything," Pony said. They kissed. "Oh, and Soda?" Pony asked. "Yeah?" Soda said. "I'll be waiting."
