Well here I am again with another chapter. Thanks to all who reviewed. Also I know I forgot the disclaimer so here it is I do not own The Outsiders movie and or book, I just write this story. So here we go.

Conversation between Darry and Soda after Pony has left for school.

"Darry did you get Pony to talk any this morning?"

"Yes Soda, I did get him to talk and I mentioned Johnny and Dally then he got very angry and snapped at me."

"Oh, so that's why it was so quiet when I walked in." Soda said as he was getting his shirt buttoned for work.

"Yeah, I know he hasn't been the same since it happened. The doc told us that was to be expected but I just don't want him to turn to desperate measures." Darry said shuddering a little at the thought. Soda came up and put his hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Hey, Darry come on man I know you're worried about Pony I am too. I think if we were in the situation that he went through we'd be in the same shape. Pony's one of the nicest greasers in the neighborhood. I'm sure he's got enough sense to come to us if he feels alone, just give him some time." Soda said smiling. Darry smiled back and went up to the door with Soda behind him. He put his hand on Soda's back and said.

"Come on Pepsi Cola, let's get to work." So they got in the truck and headed out to start their jobs for the day.

At The High School with Ponyboy, Steve, and Two-bit. (Pony's P.OV.)

"We had gotten out of the car and went inside the high school. Two-bit said he would meet me later for lunch we said goodbye as he walked with Steve to their lockers and I went to mine. I had some friends come and talk to me, most of the guys from Track who came to talk about the new season coming up. I listened halfhearted usually I love to talk about Track but now it just goes right through me. I made it to my first period class before the bell rang, the whole period I just listened to the teacher ramble on and I couldn't wait for the bell to ring.

Finally it was lunch time and I made my way out to Steve's car. I already saw him and Two-Bit waiting for me. When I got in we all headed to the convenient store where all the greasers hung out. We got some candy bars, Pepsi's, and of course cigarettes. We had some small talk, well mostly Steve and Two-bit did the talking, I stood there occasionally nodding my head to make some kind of response to let them know I wasn't dead on the outside but on the inside I was dying slowly. Steve saw some pretty girl and went to try to work his charm on her. I could see Two-bit walking my way and I figured he wants to try to talk to me about what's going on in my world, but you want to know the funny thing he doesn't know the half of what I went through and am still going through and he never will."

"Hey Pony, How's your day been so far?" Two-Bit said coming to stand next to me.

"It's been fine." I answer putting my hands in my pockets.

"Listen kid I know you've had a rough time dealing with what's happened over the past couple of months, we all have. You've got to let it go, I know it's hard but…."

"You think it's just hard Two-Bit? You have no idea what it's been like to go through what I've been through to see the things I've seen. If you want to help me so damn bad why don't you just do me a favor and stay out of my life, got it." "I couldn't believe I just did that, and to Two-Bit of all people. He was my buddy and I know he was only trying to help me. Maybe I didn't want to be helped, I don't know, I just hate hurting the people I love. The look on Two-bit's face was a mixture of shock and confusion, not even anger. After I had snapped at him I went back into the car and waited cause I knew we would have to be going back to school in about fifteen minutes. I guess Steve must have heard me he came back to the car looked at Two-bit and the talked. When lunch time was over they both got into the car and drove back to school not saying a word. I went to my last two classes thinking about what an awful jerk I was to Two-bit and too everybody as well. I wanted this madness to be over. I wanted Johnny and Dally back to have happy times. But secretly I think I wanted my own life to end.
