Most of the gang was nodding and saying things like tuff enough and shit like that and they were talking about something but I was lost in my own thoughts again this has got to stop I'm not one to think about things to much unless they're important.

And these thoughts definitely weren't important to me. I was thinking about Ponyboy and Jonny and how come they had run away. I wanted to know cause Jonny definitely looked beat some scared like maybe his dad beat him. I'm not sayn it was his dad that gave him that look in his eyes like at any moment some one would jump up and yell " YOU FUCKING BASTARD" at him.

I used to look like that some before I left here.

But pony boy didn't look to scared well he had a cut and a bruise on his face but he got the cut from those socs probly the bruise too he looked like he kept jonny together. I'll bet him and the rest of that gang of his were real tight. I was thinking so much I didn't really notice everyone staring at me. I blinked up at them all

"yes can I help ya'll?"

TJ sniggered

"yea Ponyboy asked ya how ya knew ol' Dally"

I snorted

"when I can breathe again I'll be happy to tell ya"

Daggers smiled sheepishly and let my head free.

"thank you"

I said and then turned to look at pony

"I knew Dally from Tulsa a while ago. My dad beat me and we always made plans that one day we'd Run off and we'd of course take Cass with us cause I threatened to pound his face in if he didn't one night I just ran outta my house I went and got dally and I told him to go and get Cass and we jumped some train. And well we met up with the idiots you see surrounding us and the rest is history."

Pony nodded but jonny was looking at me thoughtfully

"so you ran off again this time because of your dad?"

His voice was quiet and I couldn't help but smile

"In a manner of speaking yes."

I got weird looks from daggers and Kenny TJ didn't seem to care but then again unless it was something big TJ didn't much care.

Eventually I was asleep again leavening my mind to wander something that's dangerous for me

***

I woke up with a start again and It was dark in the train well not totally the door was open and some one was sitting there staring up at the stars every one was sprawled around me asleep.

I laughed at TJ who was snoring rather loudly. Whoever was at the door looked back at me it was pony boy

I stood up and walked over plopping myself down next to him

"got a smoke?"

I asked he wordlessly handed me one and I lit it and stuck it in my mouth.

"so why you goin to New York city??"

He looked at me and shrugged

"I just can't go home…" I wonderes why he couldn't go hom and almost didn't hear him say "and jonnys…" he paused a little as if he weren't to sure it would be a good thing for him to tell me

" jonnys dad beats him"

His voice was low so not to wake everyone up and I nodded taking another drag on my Cigarette

"yea that sucks but why cant you go home it looks like you and that gang of your back there was pretty tight"

Ponyboy just shrugged and we sat watching the stars rush by in silence
