OoOoOo
(Johnny's POV)
I could feel it. Ponyboy was hurt. Broken. I wanted to help him so badly. I wanted to hug him to make him feel better.
Pony and I are extremely close, so close in fact that we can have conversations without even using words.
Ever since we met, we've been extremely close.
I remember when he came up to me in the park one day. I was beaten real bad by my dad, and he walked up to me and asked me to go play with him on the swings.
OoOoOo
(Flashback)
Tears were streaming down my face. Why couldn't I have good parents like all the other kids? Suddenly a boy walked over to me. I wiped my tears away fast before he saw, but I guess it was too late for that.
"Hewo! Why aw you cwying?" He asked me. The boy had reddish hair and green-grey eyes. He looked real young, too.
"It's nothing." I replied quietly.
"But you aw cwying! When youw sad you cwy! Please down't bwe sad." He then sat down next to me.
"I'm Pwonyboy! What's youw name?"
"M-my names Johnny…" I said hesitantly.
"Well hi dew Johnny! I'm twee!"he exclaimed as he held up 3 fingers. "How old are you?"
"I'm 5." I didn't know why I was talking to him, but he seemed different than most kids. He was very kind to me.
"Ooooh! Gwess what Johnny! My bwover Sodapop is 5 too!" He then started jumping around happily. His smile was contagious, I couldn't help but smile too.
"Wanna pway on the swings wif me Johnny?" He then asked with a big smile on his face.
"Yeah! I-I mean yeah. Sure, Pony."
Ever since that day, we've been inseparable.
OoOoOo
(End of flashback)
I knew that pony was hurting and it broke my heart. But what could I do? I'm stuck here in this dark place floating to seemingly nowhere.
I could hear people talking but I couldn't make out who's voices they were. I knew pony wasn't there because I still felt empty. I knew for a fact Dally was there, which made me feel real good to know he cared about me as much as I cared about him, but I had a bad feeling that they were all hiding something for me.
Not like they would tell me anything, I doubt they know I can hear them, and why would you talk to a person who is in a coma like they are awake? I don't know… but I would really like if they had.
I couldn't stop thinking about Ponyboy though. I know he's suffering, I know he's breaking, but I don't know why…
I really need to talk to him now. But I need to stop thinking about him right now. Every time I get stressed out my heart rate goes up, which in my condition at the moment apparently could be deadly.
He's probably fine anyways. I'm probably wrong, he's doing fine. Probably at home reading or something like that.
Yeah.
Reading.
OoOoOo
(3rd person POV)
The gang had went to go visit Johnny earlier that day. They thought that visiting Johnny, they could take their minds off of ponyboy. They didn't want to go near him because doing so made them feel like absolute shit. They didn't wanna suffer the consequences of what they've done. They were terrified of doing so.
Visiting Johnny only made them feel worse. Seeing him in a Coma was horrible. He was so innocent, he didn't deserve this.
But ponyboy was also innocent, yet they gave him hell.
They couldn't stand being at the hospital either, so they were walking aimlessly down the streets for hours and hours. They eventually decided to head back home when it was midday, and check on pony to see if he was ok.
You know, without Letting pony know they cared.
Once they arrived at the house, it was completely quiet. Not a sound was heard. It was so quiet in fact that the slightest whisper sounded like a scream.
It was, odd.
The Curtis house was never quiet, ever. It was usually so loud you could hear the radio 2 blocks away.
They all just figured ponyboy had fallen asleep again. But I'm actuality, he was sitting in his bed staring at his wall. He has been sitting and staring at the wall for the hours. He wasn't thinking. He was just staring into seemingly nothing.
He was too scared to sleep, too sad to talk, too too hurt to move, and too guilty to think. He was doing nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The gang soon turned on the TV and the radio, turning them up full volume, which scared Pony. He was scared of everything now. He was scared of everyone. He jumped at the sounds which hurt his leg real badly, which led to a yelp escaping his mouth which hurt his jaw. No matter what he did he was in pain, whether physically or mentally, he was in pain.
Soda eventually had enough of sitting around and decided to check on ponyboy. He thought he was asleep.
He quietly walked over to the door and opened it slowly, attempting not to 'wake' ponyboy up.
Slowly he peaked his head in, and he saw ponyboy sitting up staring at him with an intense glare. It wasn't an angry glare, it was more of a frightened one. Still, it was enough to make anyone feel uneasy.
"H-hey pony…" soda began.
"…"
"Ok, well I came here to talk to you…" soda said softly as he entered Pony's room completely.
"…" Pony's eyes never left soda for one second, not even to blink. But the fear in his eyes did seem to increase.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry Pony… I'm sorry for how I've treated you, I'm sorry for how I ignored you and I'm sorry for making you feel like this…" soda then took a deep breathe. "Please forgive me Pony… I'm truly sorry for everything I've done."
"…"
"Pony…?"
"…..y-you can-cannot lie." Pony mumbled.
"W-what?"
"YOU CANNOT LIE. THEY TELL ME YOU'RE LYING."
"Who's they!?" Soda asked, slightly frightened.
"My new friends. They introduced themselves to me today. A few minutes ago. They are real nice."
"Ponyboy what are you talking about…?" Soda started to back away towards the door.
"My friends don't lie, Soda. They say you're not sorry, I-I cannot believe you. You were real mean to me. I can only take so much. The real soda wouldn't do this."
"Ponyboy.. that's why I came to apologize! Because I'm so-"
"YOU ARE NOT SODA! SODA WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME! SODA LOVES ME! YOU DON'T LOVE ME." Pony yelled.
"I do love you pony! You mean the world to me!"
"STOP LYING. STOP LYING!" Ponyboy cried.
"I'm not lying!" Sodapop tried to get pony to listen but he kept yelling for him to stop lying.
"YEAH YOU ARE! I WANT SODA!" Ponyboy was crying even louder than before.
"I am Soda, Pony!"
"NO! STOP LYING! STOP LYING!" Pony then began to cover his ears. "STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!" He screamed. "I CAN'T TAKE IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT! GET OUT!" He then looked up at soda. "GET OUT! NOW!"
"NO! Pony you need me!" Sodas voice broke at the end.
"NO! YOU BROKE ME. YOU CANT FIX THIS WITH GLUE, "SODA"! YOU BROKE ME!" Ponyboy screamed at the top of his lungs. "NOW GET OUT! LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"PONYBOY! I-"
"GET OUT!" Ponyboy sobbed. "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT, NOW!"
"No! PONY-"
"AUGHHHHHHH! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM AND LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" Ponyboy yelled. "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Fine, you know what you little brat have it your way. I don't wanna help you anyways. Go ahead and suffer. See if I care. See if anyone cares, cause they don't!" Soda yelled before exiting Pony's room, slamming the door behind him. He then proceeded to walk to him own room, slamming that door as he entered also.
The gang stared in shock at what had just happened. Darry didn't even try to interfere with what just went down between the two brothers. He didn't want to make things worse than they were.
"You were right all along guys. You are my only friends." Ponyboy said.
We told you, you could trust us Pony, we will help you make things right.
"Ok." Ponyboy replied. And I'm the first time in a while, he smiled.
OoOoOo
(Johnny's POV)
The bad feeling I had keeps getting worse. I know something is wrong. I also need to hurry up and wake up, but I don't know how.
This isn't like the movies where you get to choose to wake up or die, it's just black. Dark.
Darkness is everywhere and it's starting to drive me a little nuts. I need to know what's going on.
I try not to think about pony, because if I do it gets me worried and that also isn't a good thing in my weak state right now. He's like the twin brother I never had. We knew when something was wrong with each other. He knew when I was sad, I knew when he was. And right now I cannot help but think, what made him do upset. I need to wake up soon or I might just kill myself on accident by getting myself so worked up.
OoOoOo
(Soda's POV)
"Fine, you know what you little brat have it your way. I don't wanna help you anyways. Go ahead and suffer. See if I care. See if anyone cares, cause they don't!" I yelled. I was more than angry. He never lets me help him. I was just trying to be nice, but no. He doesn't need me. I'm "lying" and his "new friends" are the ones he can trust.
Delusional.
There was literally nobody there. I knew he was going crazy, but not insane. I don't know what happened to him but I don't like it. All the sympathy I had for him is now gone. All I tried to do was give him someone to talk to.
I mean yeah I made a mistake, but you should forgive people.
Whatever, I'm not going to stress over this. He doesn't want my time, he doesn't get any. He can stay alone with nobody, for all I care he can stay locked up in his room for as long as he wants. I'm not giving him food. He can get it himself.
You ruined your shot ponyboy, you're not the brother I loved. You're a killer. Hope you like what you've done.
OoOoOo
(Dally's POV)
Wow. Well I guess we're not ganna tell him we're sorry anymore. Kids always so ungrateful For everything. All soda tried to do was talk things over, not that I'm surprised. Kids got an attitude that can turn anyone off. Always been a mouthy brat.
I was ganna tell the kid I was sorry for how I was treatin' 'im, but since he wants to be that way, fine. Suffer ponyboy. See if we care.
OoOoOo
(Steve's POV)
God all mighty. Never thought I'd see the day when pony actually doesn't wanna be around Soda. It's about time for it too. Hah, kid gotten real mouthy now. By the looks on everyone's faces, well excluding Darry's, nobody wants to lay off 'im anymore. You don't treat your brothers like that. You don't hurt anyone in the gang like that.
You really fucked up this time ponyboy, use your damn head.
OoOoOo
(Twobit's POV)
Glooory! I've never heard the kid scream like that. But I could tell it wasn't anger. More or distress and hurt if you listened REEEEAL close. Pony and I were closer than the rest of the guys here so I could tell what he was feeling more. He wasn't angry. He was lost. I knew he was.
The rest of the guys looked like they wanted to kill the kid for hollerin' at soda like that. Guess I must've looked similar. But honestly I wasn't mad at the kid. I knew this would happen sooner or later. I just wish the kid would listen though, he just wanted to help.
OoOoOo
(Darry's POV)
Pony wasn't mad. I knew he wasn't.
I wasn't mad at pony, how could I be?
I don't get why the rest of them were so mad, cant they see, he's sad. He's lonely and guilty.
And it's all our faults.
I didn't say anything though because I didn't want to make matters worse. Maybe giving them both a little time would help solve things. Hopefully it will. This whole thing is pulling at my heart strings and I don't know what to feel at the moment. I just want this all to get better.
