Chapter 13

Anyone POV

"Pony please forgive me!" Soda begged.

Pony looked Soda in the eyes as his eyes got more watery. "Y-You hurt me Soda..." Pony whispered.

"Pony, I'm sorry! You don't understand! I was trying to protect you from my friends!"

Ponyboy looked away again. "Soda, I... I want to forgive you... But its just so hard to!"

Soda started crying. "Pony I really am sorry. Please forgive me."

"Over time Soda. I do love you, but I need some time." Ponyboy looked down at the floor as Soda got closer to him. "Pony, I was trying to protect you! You don't know the whole story! Darry does!" Pony looked over at Darry and Darry nodded. Pony looked back at Soda. "Soda, where were you when Johnny and Dally died? I needed you! And you hurt me!"

"I was trying to protect you!"

"I'd rather them hurt me than you!" Pony yelled, and that finally got Soda to stop. "Soda, I need some time!"

Soda's eyes got watery again and he nodded, finally understanding that Pony needed time.

"I'll be right back." Soda said, and left the room. Darry followed, but Steve and Two-bit stayed with Ponyboy.

Two-bit looked at Pony. "Are you... Are you ever going to forgive him?" Pony looked up at Two-bit but didn't say anything. Pony stared at Two-bit for so long that Two-bit had to look away.

Steve looked between the two of them and Pony looked at the floor. "Kid, I'm really sorry for what he did to you. You didn't deserve any of that." Steve said. Ponyboy looked up at Steve, and his eyes weren't watery anymore. They were now emotionless. They weren't like they used to be. They used to be lively and dancing, holding emotion, but now there was nothing. They were empty.

Steve looked back at Pony, waiting for a response, but he never got one. "Pony, are you okay?" Steve asked and continued to look at him, but he knew the answer. Pony wasn't okay, and everyone knew it. They didn't know if he would ever be okay again.

"I'm fine." Pony said, his voice holding no emotion. Steve looked over at Two-bit, but Two-bit continued to look at Ponyboy, worry evident on his face.

Darry rushed into the room, and looked at Steve and Two-bit. "You guys gotta help me with Soda." He said worriedly. Two-bit and Steve shared worried glances before following Darry out of the room.
