This is a preview for a story I am working on. I got the idea from "In your loving arms" by "BSBnACcHiCk"
Name: Being Young Preview: The gang is their same ages as in the book but Ponyboy is 3 years old. He loves fighting with Two-bit, Steve, and Dally. He also loves His brothers. Darry has a girlfriend whose name is Connie. Connie watches Pony when Darry and Soda are at work (Connie works at the 'Nightly Double'). I will probably post this after I finish another story.

Teenage Life

Chapter 14

(Steve's POV)

I was so scared that Pony was never going to wake up. We were just starting to get along. I still cant believe he shot himself. Darry and Sodapop cant take anymore of this. I overheard Darry and Soda talking and Darry is getting another job. Ponyboy waking up was a miracle.

(Dally's POV)

I don't know how he did it but he pulled through. No one can explain that golden light. I guess he was telling the truth. I think this experience is going to change us all.

(Johnny's POV)

I knew telling the gang was the right thing to do but if I wouldn't have told them Pony wouldn't be in that hospital bed. If I wouldn't have told them Pony's problem would've gotten worse. Darry thanked me for telling them.

(Two-bit's POV)

I was so scared that I was going to hurt Pony but I knew I had to do it. After Pony woke up I went into the bathroom in the hall and cried. Darry and Soda tried to persuade Pony to go live in a group home for a little while, until he gets better. The social worker is here and so is Pony's P.O. (probation officer). He keeps asking me what happened but if I tell him I'll have to relive it.

(Soda's POV)

Ponyboy is still in critical condition but is feeling better. I believed him when he said mom and dad want us to try to stick together. Ponyboy really has a guardian angel.

"Soda, Darry. I had one of those dreams the night before I shot myself, but I remembered it." Me and the rest of the gang just stared at him. He kept his eyes closed.

"What was it about?" Asked Darry worriedly.

"I was in this white room, and this guy was there. He was talking but I couldn't here him. He looked around my age. Darry go look in the desk in my room. There's a box with a picture of a snake on it, bring it ot me tomorrow." After Pony said this he fell into a dreamless sleep.

(Darry's POV)

I had no idea of what Ponyboy was talking about but if he wanted that box, I was going to give it to him. Soda and me have both been noticing that Ponyboy talks in his sleep. I have a feeling he is going to stop all of this mess. I hope so. After two hours of persuading he finally agreed to go into a group home. I'm proud of him for deciding to go.

(Ponyboy's POV)

I've been acting very stupid for the past few months. I'm going to a home called TWNH(A/N: I made this name up because I didn't know of any homes. it means Teenagers who need help). It's supposed to be a place where you can get help with your problems, and other things. I hope it works.
