I was awakened in the middle of the night, by movement. I noticed memory slipping out of the room.
" Wher'rrea going?" my words slurred from sleep.
" You don't want Darry waking up and finding us in each others arms do you?" she asked, and continued walking to my room. I turned over, so my face was against the back of the couch.
I tightened the blanket around me, and tried to get back to sleep. What seemed like a few minutes later, I was woken up by Soda, who was jumping up and down for some reason.
I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. Shaking my head, I walked toward my room to wake Memory. But when I got there, she was gone.
I panicked. I searched all over my room, and looked toward the bathroom. She wasn't there either. I walked back to my room, my heart pounding. I looked over to the neatly made bed, and found a note folded within the sheets.
Dear Ponyboy,
I have gone back to my home, because to tell the truth, I was scared. I'm scared of being found, Scared of being hurt, and scared of getting my heart ripped to pieces.
You were kind to me, and you taught me that there is life beyond Johnnycake. Oh god Ponyboy, I miss him so much, but I know he is never coming back. I won't let my daddy hurt me. Not anymore. I will be back later today.
I think I'm gunna drop out of school. I know I was nagging you about your grades, but school just isn't for me, I just can't do anything right. Besides, I can get a job if I drop out. Then I can save up money for whatever I need.
I better get home before my folks wake up.
Bye Pony, maybe forever.
Maybe forever? I had no idea what she meant. Couldn't be good bye forever.. Could it. No no no, I said reading the note again. She said that she would be back later. Wait a minute… DROP OUT OF SCHOOL! She couldn't do that!
I knew for a fact, that she was one of the smartest people in all of Tulsa. I felt a tear slide down my cheek, and I wiped it away angrily. Why was I being so stupid? She didn't care about me! We just met! There was no way she cared about me!
Last night. She was so close to me last night… protect me forever? Her words echoed in my mind. A dream. All that was just a dream. Nothing even happened and it was the greatest dream I ever had. No. It wasn't a dream, but it may as well have been.
DAMNIT! Why was this happening? I don't know anything about her, I have no idea who she is! There is no reason why I should be feeling like this. No matter what I tell myself, my heart still feels like it was shattered.
Stress. I could get away with staying home again. I went into the bathroom, and did what I did in the nurses office…
Soda obviously heard me gagging, and walked in just as I threw up.
" Oh god Pony, you ain't goin' to school today!" he said as he grimaced. I nodded, and tried to get myself up, but failed, because I was still shaky from emptying myself. He picked me up and brought me into my room. " Where's that girl? Johnny's sister?"
He must have seen my expression, because he muttered an apology and left my room to talk to Darry.
