From All Points Of View

A/N: I finally came up with a title! About time huh? Well anyway here's Ch. 7. Enjoy.

Normal POV

"What did you just say Pon?" Two-bit asked cooly.

"Those were the same Socs that raped me Friday night."

"Are you sure?" Ponyboy nodded. "Man, you sure got a good pack of meatheads on yer tail, kid."

"Yeh, yer tellin' me." "Well, I'm tellin' yer brothers whether you like it or not."

Great. Just what I need. More preaching, even if they're just concerned, Pony thought to himself while they started on the way to his house. This is gonna be a long night... And he was right. As soon as Two-Bit told Soda and Darry, they were all over Pony.

"What were you two doing out anyways?"

"You should've been home by then." Soda said.

"We were heading towards the lot. And they just came up to us. They didn't do nuthin' t' us." Pony explained. He'd been more calmer about this than he thought he'd be.

"They were the same Socs that raped Ponyboy." Thank you so much Two-Bit.

"They were, were they?"

"Sheeze, Pony. You're having awful bad luck lately."

"Soda's right. You should probably stay low for awhile until they get over it."

"Okay. I won't be goin' round by myself anymore. Promise." Pony added seeing his older sibling's faces.

"Alright. Well go do whatever. Just don't get into any trouble." Darry said.

"I don't get into trouble; trouble usually finds me."

Pony walked outside, heading towards the lot. Two-bit followed after him. While Two-Bit chatted about God knows what, Pony was in deep thought about the day's earlier events. What do they want with me? They got their one night stand. What else could they want? And why didn't we hear them driving towards us. I'm pretty sure they didn't park their cars there or we woulda hear 'em. Pony was snapped out of his thoughts by Two-Bits voice.

"Hey, Pony! Woohooo! Anybody home in there?"

"Huh?"

"I swear kid. The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead."

"Like you should talk Two-Bit."

"I've got more t' say than you, kid."

"Yeah right. And stop calling me kid!"

They entered the lot and sat down. It was pretty quiet outside. The sky was blue, not a cloud in sight. A slight breeze blew across the lot, shaking up the grass and tree branches. Two-Bit leaned back against the tree, hands on the back of his head.

"Tired Two-Bit?" Pony asked, watching Two-Bit. The older greaser opened an eye to look at his companion.

"Naw, kid, just thinkin'" Pony gave him a look at the kid comment. Thinkin' 'bout what?"

"About you." At that, a light blush come over Ponyboy's face. Even though they were kind of 'together' Pony still wasn't used to it.

"Two-Bit, are we...you know...?"

"Together?" Pony stayed silent. "Well hell kid, I thought we were. What is unless you don't want to."

"I'd like to be..."

"Then it's settled. You make too big a deal of things kid. Ya gotta be able to see things from all points, or somethin' like that. That's what my teachers keep telling me."

"But does it work?"

"To hell if I know. I just nod and say yes Ma'am. I don't really listen to teachers though."

Pony laughed. He was happy. For the first time in along time, he was genuinely happy. It took him a lot of time to think over what had happened over the last few days. And now he's got someone he can talk to, other than his brothers. I feel like I just accomplished something. This feeling...it's so strange but it feels so familiar to me. Oh, well. It's time for me to look at things from all points of view.
