I forgot when I was writing my last chapter to put Ponys struggle with getting into the car in there. Cause I made a chapter but I deleted it by accident and it started off with them getting Pony into the car.. But when I wrote the chap over I forgot to put that whole thing in there. SORRY GUYS!
Lets just say that they had a lot of persuading to do and they had to carry Ponyboy into the car but that part was easy since Pony doesn't really have much strength anymore!
Johnnys POV
One of the socs had Ponyboy tightly by the shoulders, I knew stuff like this was probably going to happen, but I was still taken by surprise. Did they really need to tease poor Pony? He doesn't need this, not now. The soc that was holding Pony by his shoulders started pushing him back and forth, and Curlys patience were running thin.
"I said to leave him alone"Curly repeated
"once again, what is a greaser like you gonna do about it?"
Curly then sprang on the boy and they started rolling on the floor, I didn't know what to do, so I stood there. The other one still had a grip on Pony, his knuckles were white, he must have been gripping him hard. Ponys face looked pained, I didn't wanna start no fight, I couldn't.. But I also couldn't let them bully Pony.
"Let go of him" I said softly
"don't start"the soc snarled back at me and gave me a warning shove
Curly was still on the floor wrestling with the other soc, they didn't start punching or anything which was good, just rolling around.
"Hey! Break it up!"a teacher yelled running over to the boys rolling on the floor
"I said break it up!"Curly and the soc released each other and stood up
"what's going on here?"the teacher asked, he looked impatient
"oh nothing, were all friends here, just fooling around sir"the soc that was fighting Curly said
"well no more now, or you'll be sent to the office"
"sure thing sir"the soc said smiling
The teacher gave one last warning look before walking back down the hall where he came from.
"This will continue after school, outside"the soc snapped, his smile for the teacher quickly fading
"yeah"the soc that was still holding Pony said
When the other soc started to walk away the one holding Pony released him by shoving him yet again into the lockers.
"You better watch it no brain"he said through gritted teeth
Curly called yelled some names out at them as they continued walking down the hall, I looked at Pony, he was pale.
"Hey Pony you alright?"I asked softly
Ponyboy had his face against the locker that he was shoved into, his eyes were tightly shut and he was mouthing words. A tear escaped from his tightly closed eyelids, then sounds started coming out of his moving lips.
"I wanna go home"
"I wanna go home"
"I wanna go home"
"it's alright man"I said I was about to put a hand on his shoulder when I saw bruises beginning to show
"did he hurt you?"I asked
Pony shook his head no "just held me tight, that's just my body though, it bruises easily now remember?"
"Yeah"
"Johnny?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I go home now?"Pony opened his eyes now, they stared at me, he had really green eyes. Green eyes that were full of sorrow and fear.
"Sure man, let's go"I said, putting my arm around his shoulders
"curly, I gonna take Ponyboy back home alright?"I said to Curly who had a smirk on his face
"sure thing, I'll catch you guys later"he then pranced off into the cafeteria looking for some of his friends
I pushed the heavy doors opened and me and Pony walked out, it was a little cold and my body shivered. We were about a two blocks away from the Curtis house when we heard a car behind us. I glanced over, but Pony didn't seem worried, either that or he just didn't remember that socs like to follow us in cars and jump us. I nudged him so he knew something was up, he glanced at the car with me, it was the same socs from before.
"Hey no brain, you running home to mommy and daddy!"one of em yelled
"shouldn't you super socs be in school?"I yelled back
"shut your trap grease"they shouted back
I turned around quickly to look at Pony, he looked scared out of his mind
"are they always like this?"he asked
"yeah"I answered
"you wanna make a break for it?"I asked
"alright"he answered
"one.. two.. three!"I said then started for a sprint
Ponyboy followed but he wasn't nearly as fast as he used to be and I forgot that he was still pretty sick, so by the end of the block Pony was just at a fast walk.
"Come on man, one more block to go.. You can do it"I tried to encourage him
"I cant"Pony was wheezing and started to cough
I looked back nervously, the car was following us slowly, I heard the socs talking in menacing voices. I thought about screaming for Soda, but then I realized that he wasn't home yet since we left school early. I heard a car door slam and the socs got out.
"Pony your gonna have to try and run man, or else were gonna get jumped!"I said nervously
"alright"Pony wheezed
"ready? Go!"I ran but a little slower than before
I reached Ponys house pretty quickly but when I looked back Pony wasn't behind me.. I didnt hear them get him or anything. I ran back to the sidewalk and looked down, but pony or the socs were no where to be seen. Then I heard some low voices and followed them to the side of Ponyboys house, where I saw the two boys holding Pony down.
"Don't move"one of them growled at me
"or this one gets it"the other one finished
I looked at their hands and say that they had a knife pressed against Ponys stomach, I immediately stopped in my tracks.
"Let him go, please"I said
but I was ignored and they returned their attention back to Ponyboy
"now now now, this is no fair for us because your at a disadvatage here.."one of the socs said in a threatening voice
I saw Pony shiver
"but we don't like to play fair.. So it works out"the other one pressed the knife a little harder into Ponys side
Ponys face scrunched
"so tell me, is this whole thing a joke.. Or can you really not remember?"
"It's the truth I swear"Pony said in a shaken voice
"I don't believe it"the knife was yet again pushed into Ponys stomach, but their was no blood which was good, hopefully they didnt have the guts to hurt Pony
"look I don't care if you believe me or not, just let me go please"Pony begged under the weight of the two boys
"will you just let him go! Look at the size of him compared to you! Your gonna kill him!"I screamed
I saw the knife pushed into Pony, followed by the trickle of blood and a whimper from Pony.
"I suggest you stop yelling"the soc said with an evil glare
I guess they did have the guts to hurt him.
"Jesus, leave him alone"I said in a whisper
"were not through with you, let this be a preview of your future"the soc holding the knife said and then he pushed the knife into Pony a little bit more and then ripped it out
Pony let out a pain stricken gasp
Both of the boys ran past me the last one to leave giving me a shove into the house, once they were out of sight I ran for Pony.
"You alright man!"I asked in a hurry
"I don't think so"he said weakly
He was bleeding a good amount and his eyes were beginning to droop, I knew I had to get him inside, I couldn't let this cut get infected.
"Alright, you're gonna have to try and stand up"I said to him, but his head was beginning to bob up and down and I knew he had no strength
"shit"I cursed under my breath
"Soda! Darry! Two-bit! Steve! Anyone!"I yelled on the top of my lungs but wasn't heard
"hang in their Ponyboy"I said tears blurring my vision
I stood up and ran to the front of Ponys house and I saw Sodapop walking home from his work.
"Soda!" I cried
"what? What is it?"he asked frantic already next to me
"Ponys on the side of the house! Hurry! Were we jumped my socs!"Soda was there in a heart beat and next to poor Ponyboy
"Pony! Pony? Can u hear me?"he asked frantically
"Soda?"Pony asked in a daze
"yeah its me, hold on little brother"he said pushing his hair back
"Johnny go call Darry!"
I was off in a heartbeat.
Sodapops POV
This wasn't good, I expected name calling but nothing like this, those socs can be pretty damn heartless! I lifted my lightweight brother from his spot on the ground and carried him into the house. I placed him down gently and then ran to the bathroom and got the first aid kit. Im no good at fixing people up, but I was gonna try my best, for Ponyboys sake. I took out the medication the doctor gave us in case Pony got any cuts, since his immune system is pretty lousy now he needs special anti-biotics. I rolled up Ponys shirt and examined the cut, it wasn't too deep, but deep enough. My poor brother, he was losing a good amount of his blood, which in his case wasn't good at all. I quickly put the medication on his cut and tightly tied bandages around his stomach. Pony had passed out so I let him lay there on the couch, and paced around the house, I often did this when something troubled me. Darry came bursting through the door he gave me a worried look, looked over at Pony and then cried.
He just cried.
