Chapter seven: I can't think of a name for this one.

Pony's POV:

Well Taya and I are friends again and it's real great. I really missed talking to her. Darry and the rest of the guys are still pissed off at her and don't really like her but I don't care. Well anyways I'm just sitting here wishing the bell would ring so I could go home. School is so freaking boring. I hate it.

RING!

Thank god! I can finally go home! I grabbed my stuff and quickly made my way out of the classroom to my locker where Taya was waiting for me with a bored expression on her face.

"Hey Taya" I said shoving her gently so I could get in my locker, "hey Pone" she said shoving me back and leaning on the locker next to mine.

I finished putting my stuff away and we walked outside and started walking to my house, Darry wouldn't be home so it's ok that she comes over. He wont let her come over usually; I told you they didn't like her.

"So Pony I was thinking of going to see that new horror movie they have out tonight, wanna come?" she asked skipping ahead slightly and turning around to look at me "sure why not. I'll ask Darry" she nodded and turned back around and waited for me to catch up before skipping off again.

At the Curtis Household…

Taya and me were almost finished with our science homework when the door burst open and Darry walked in. Not good. He wasn't supposed to be home for another hour! What's he doing home now!

He took one look at Taya and his face got all red and contorted with anger, "what the hell are you doing here?" he growled out at her.

We stood up and looked at each other quickly before she answered, "we were working on our science homework Darry" "I don't care. Get the fuck out of my house. I thought I told you not to hang out with her Pony! What the hell is your problem? If I say not to hang out with someone you fucking listen to me got it!" Man Darry sure is mad.

"Come on Darry she's my friend and we were just doing homework you don't have to be mean to her" I sounded a lot calmer then I really was.

"I'm just gonna go Pone, I'll see you later…maybe. And forget about tonight k?" Taya walked around the table, grabbed her stuff and walked past Darry and went outside.

I'm sure Darry was going to start yelling but I really didn't care. I just turned and went into my room and locked the door behind me.

The next day…

Taya's POV:

Man I sure do hate going into the DX, especially when Soda and Steve are there. They always glare at me and make me feel lower then dirt. But I can't blame them after what I said to Pony. But if he can forgive me then why cant they? It's so stupid.

Anyways I hurried out of there as fast as I could after getting the cigarettes my mom asked for, I cant stand the glaring.

Outside I sighed in relief and started walking home. A block from my house someone wrapped their arms around my waist and lifted me up. It was Ponyboy I could tell without seeing his face.

"Pony put me down!" I yelled slapping at his arms. He chuckled and dropped me but kept his arms around my waist and laid his head on my right shoulder. Do you know how hard it is to walk with someone attached to your back? It's real hard.

"I'm tired…I didn't get any sleep last night. I feel real bad about Darry yelling at you like that. They're just still a little mad ya know? They'll get over it eventually. And then we can hang out at my house all the time like before k?" he voice was a little muffled but I understood him ok. I nodded and tried to walk but like it said before, it's awful hard to do when someone's attached to your back.

Pony must have seen that I was having trouble walking cause he let go of me and walked up beside me and stuffed his hands in his jeans pockets.

We got to my house and I opened the door and held it open for him, he shut it behind him and went and sat on the couch. I threw my moms cigarettes on the kitchen table and pulled two cokes out of the fridge then went and sat next to Pony who had turned the TV on and was watching some crappy old horror flick.

As soon as I set the two cokes down Pony shifted and laid down so his head was in my lap, his eyes were closed and had big black bags under them. I guess he wasn't lying when he said he didn't get any sleep.

The movie got really boring after two minutes so I changed it and put on a weird show about six people stuck living in a house with eachother. It was really funny. I looked down to see if Ponyboy was watching but he was fast asleep. I thought about waking him up but that would be real mean seeing as he didn't get any sleep and junk. I'll just let him sleep for a while. Too bad I fell asleep and a while turned into all night.

Morning

Pony's POV:

Damn sun…why does it have to be so freaking bright? I grumbled and was about to go back to sleep but the thing I was sleeping on started moving so I thought it would be best if I looked and saw what it was. Opening my eyes I saw that I wasn't in my house and that I was laying on someone. I looked up and saw Taya, fast asleep with her head resting on the armrest of the couch. I was lying next to her with my right arm thrown over her waist and my head resting on her bare stomach since she was wearing a tank top and it had moved.

All I remember from last night is that I fell asleep with my head in her lap; she must have moved me or something. It's not like I care though, she's pretty comfortable actually. Taya sighed and opened her eyes also, for a second she seemed sorda confused then she looked at me and thought for a second before shooting up and jumping off the couch.

"What are you doing here! I thought you went home! Oh god Darry is going to kill you! And me if he finds out you were here all night! You have to go! Like now!" she was yelling and waving her arms around like a mad person. It took awhile to hit me.

Darry would kill me! I jumped up and ran for the door and ran outside and down the street after yelling a goodbye to Taya. Man was I ever dead. Darry would be burying me in the backyard in less then an hour. I'll never get married or have kids or nothing cause I'm going to die. This really sucks. I never even got to date or make out with a girl or get drunk. I sighed and walked up the porch steps fearing the impending doom about to be released as soon as I opened the door. The gravestone would read: Ponyboy Curtis. Killed by angry brother because he stayed out all night. He deserved it.

Well that's it for now! Please review and tell me if ya like it or whatever! I'll update soon! I'm actually working on the next chapter now! Yay!
