I had begun to feel better after that. Pony always had a way of making you feel better no matter what. I was up and moving again an hour later, I had a cold after being the bait for the rumble nothing more.
"Hey Cony, do you want to go to a movie later." Pony asked.
"I don't know,I will have to ask my dad or sneak out." I told him fearing my fathers answer.
"You are definitely better off sneaking out. Are you going to stay with us tonight or go home?" He asked.
"We can go to a movie and then I will head home I can sneak back in through my window." Pony shook his head in agreement.
"Who all is coming, will it just be the two of us?" I asked.
"We are going to go to the drive in with Johnny and Dall. Does that sound good to you?"
"Sounds great I haven't seen Johnny in a while, I could care less about seeing Dally."
I didnt make it to the movie my dad had caught me and dragged me home. The next day I heard about the murders and was worried about Pony and Johnny especially. My father refused to let me leave the house.
When I heard about Johnny being in the hospital I wanted to visit, but was locked in my room for trying to leave. A long time after that I heard about Johnny passing away and Dally getting shot because of a robbery.
When Pony got sick I hit my breaking point. I couldn't stand being in my room anymore and I ran away. I was old enough to get a job and I did so. I moved to the trailor park and never saw my family again.
"Cony, I thought that you weren't aloud to leave your house. What are you doing in the park?"
"You didn't hear the new Pony? I ran away, got a job, and now i am living in my own trailer." I told him.
His face lit up with excitement and after that we never stopped hanging out. We would always study together and later in life we got married and had kids.
It made Pony upset, but Cherry never talked to him again after court. Pony and I are now living on the "right" side of the tracks with our son named Johnny.
