Chapter 7:

Pony POV:

I was lying in my bed, thinking when Johnny walked in.

"Hey Johnny." I said.

"Darry wants to know who did that to you." He said.

"I know."

"So why don't you tell him, he just wants to keep you safe." He said.

"I know, but you don't understand. It's better if keep to myself." I told him.

"If anyone knew better it'd be me, it's better to come out with it." He said. And in most situations he was right, but was this one the same?

"Not with this." I said.

"It's Amy isn't it? Amy's the one beating you, isn't she?" Johnny asked. I stared at him, shocked.

"How did you find out?" I asked.

"About a month or so ago we went out with them and you said that she didn't like you, you're always sticking close to one of the gang, except Soda and Steve when she's around, and tonight she asked Soda if they could just leave when he was taking care of you." Johnny explained. "I just put two and two together."

"Hey Johnny. You staying tonight?" Soda asked as he came into the room and got ready for bed. Johnny looked at me before answering.

"Yeah, I think I will." He said and left.

The week after:

Johnny know knew, and he tried to stay with me as much as possible when the gang wasn't here. It worked for the most part but last night Dally had taken him to Bucks and he still hadn't made it back. The rest of the gang was either at work or at home, in Two-Bit's case. I was in the living room watching tv when Amy came in.

"Hey Pony, long time no see." She said as she came up beside me and yanked me up by my upper arm. "This is gonna be fun."

She punched me and kicked me again, and again. I was almost unconscious when I heard Johnny come into the house.

"Hey get from him!" Johnny yelled.

"I'll get you for telling him!" she said and ran out the house.

"Pony can you get up?" Johnny asked, kneeling beside me. I just shook my head. It hurt everywhere, she hadn't held back at all today she kicked and punched as hard as possible, for as long as possible, and all over.

"Alright, just stay still. I'll be right back." He said and ran to the kitchen. I heard him talking on the phone and then he came back in.

"Dally and Two-Bit will be here in a minute, and Darry will be here as soon as he can. Soda and Steve can't come, they're in a meeting with their boss and some other people all afternoon." Johnny said.

"You didn't tell them who did it, did you?" I asked.

"No." He said.

"Thanks."

10 minutes later Two-Bit and Dally burst into the house. They helped me to the couch and started to clean my cuts before Darry came home. He took over as soon as he came in.

"Pony what happened?" Dally asked.

"Socs." I told them, looking at Johnny.

"What? They came into this house and beat you up? We ain't that stupid kid, you couldn't even move when we got here and you're telling me that you walked here all by yourself?" Dally asked

"I helped him walk here, he couldn't move anymore cause he was so exhausted." Johnny covered for me. I gave him a look that said 'thank you'.

"Pony, why don't you just tell us who's been doing this to you?" Darry asked. "We're just worried, that's all." He said.

"There's nothing to worry about." I said. I tried to stand up but a sharp pain ripped through my ribs.

"Sit down, I need to rap your ribs." Darry said. I sat down and he rapped my ribs. I had to stay on the couch the rest of the day cause it hurt to move, even when Darry tried to carry me.
