Chapter 3 – Night Visitor

(Pony's POV)

I woke up to a tapping sound on the window. I looked up and saw Codi's face looking back tearstained. I got up and opened the window. Soda went out with Steve to go looking for girls.

"Hey, what's wrong." I asked worriedly

"Everything just seems to be falling apart. I have spent most of the summer babysitting for Brandi, Shawn and me are 'taking a break'. I wanted to thank you for standing by me through everything."

"Everything's going to be ok, alright. Do you trust me?"

"Yeah, but it's so frustrating having to watch Cole and go to singing lessons at the same time."

"Can you do something for me?"

"Sure."

"Sing for me."

"It's quiet here tonight
There's a light burnin' far away
It burns in my heart
In the rain, in the dark
Well, this girl's gonna have her day

I've been this alone for so long
I'm beginning to wonder why
I stand in one place
Different name, different face
But no one's gonna see me
Break down and cry

Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time

Lord, I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
Here I am
Won't somebody stand, stand by me

I'm not bending tonight
But I'm twisted and turned and broken down
I'm starting to know the sound
Of nothing and no one and yet everything

Well, if God's here tonight
Are You here tonight
Maybe You could grab me up
Lord, stand me on my feet
Give me strength and set me free
'Cause I'm not giving in until I've had enough

Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time

Oh, I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
So here I am
And I'm throwing down my one last hope
Here I am
Won't somebody stand, stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me just one time
I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
Here I am
And I'm throwing down my one last hope

Won't somebody stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me just one time
I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
Here I am"

"That was really good." I told her.

"Well that's how I felt so I just sang it, it really goes good with the situation."

"Yeah, I guess. Do you want to sleep on the couch or are you going to go back home?"

"I better go. If my mom finds out I came here tonight I'll get grounded."

"Bye, hope you feel better."

"Thanks for being here for me, Bye Pony."

(Codi's POV after she gets back home)

I felt a lot better after I talked to Ponyboy. He always helps me out. As soon as I lay down in my bed sleep overtook me.
