Chapter 12 Ponyboy Finds Out
Pony's POV
Well I haven't seen Leigha in a while. So I decide to cal her and tell her to meet me at the vacant lot.
RING RING RING!
"Hello?" It was Leigha's voice.
"Hey Leigha. It's Pony. How are you?" I asked.
"Oh…. Well…. Uhm…I'm good. And you?" She asked.
"I'm good. I miss you. Will you or can you meet me at the vacant lot?"
"I miss you too. Yeah I can meet you at the Vacant Lot. Now?" She asked.
"GOOD! Yeah now. I'll see you soon." I said.
"Cool. Bye!" she said.
Leigha's POV
I was shocked to see that Ponyboy had called. I was scared to see him because of my face. I didn't want him to freak out. I was waiting at the lot when I saw him approach me. He gave me a huge hug. It felt so good to have him in my arms again!
"PONY I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" I yelled.
"Me Too!!" He kissed me.
Just as he kissed me he saw the bruise/cut on my face.
"WHO DID THIS TO YOU!?" he yelled.
"My dad did…. But he was drunk! He doesn't ever hit me!" I told him.
"I'm going to kill him!"
"No don't! He didn't mean to! He was drunk!" I yelled.
"Why can't I?"
"Because He will kill you!" I yelled and started to cry.
"Leigha don't cry! I don't want to see you like this." Pony said.
"I can't help it! Just the thought of him killing you or even hurting you will make me like this! I love you! That's why I don't want you to do anything to my dad." I said.
"I'm not going to get hurt. And I'm not going to do anything to your dad." He told me.
"I'm sorry… that you had to see me like this. My dad is a really gentle person… when he isn't drunk." I said.
"Don't be sorry. I believe you. If I want to be with you I'm not going to get on his bad side." He told me.
He gave me a huge hug and kissed me. We sat in the lot and watched the sunset and the stars when it got dark. It was one of those moments that you want to last forever and never end!
