Chapter 7: Visiting graves

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own "The Outsiders" or any of the Curtis' Gang. Sigh. The real owner of "The Outsiders" is my favorite author, the fabulous S.E. Hinton. I also do not make a profit from the stories that I write here on this site.

A/N: If you like it, love it, or even if you hate it, you know what to do. Tell me in a review. I would love it if you favorited, followed, and/or if you gave me (a) suggestion(s). Thank you. :)

Sodapop's POV

"Come on Ponyboy, just a drive, please," I pleaded with my stubborn, bullheaded little brother.

"No, Soda. I'm sorry, I just can't," he told me.

"Yes you can," I assured him feiecly. He just stared at me showing no sign of giving in.

"Fine. How about a compromise? I'll drive," I assured him. He contemplated my offer for a moment.

"Fine, Deal."

The car ride was a little better than last time, but I guess he trusts me. He didn't say much, but I had the radio on and he seemed a little less ridged. I hoped this was progress.

"Can you drop me off up here, Soda? I want to walk around. I'll find my own way home," Pony asked. I nodded and stopped the truck.

"Be home soon or else Darry'll skin you," I warned.

He smiled. "I know, don't worry."

Ponyboy's POV

I walked to Johnny and Dallas's grave. I needed time to clear my head.

I knelt down next to Dallas's simple gravestone.

"Hey Dallas." I didn't know what to say. I took a shuddering breath. "We miss you." I looked up and saw the sun was setting.

I moved on to Johnny's grave. "Hey, Johnnycakes. I miss you a lot. I can't believe it's been two years since you died. I stayed gold until the car accident. Now I'm scared to drive a car." I admitted. I heard a loud honk behind me, which made me jump, but then I realized it was just Two-Bit.

"Need a ride, Kiddo?" He shouted. I took a deep breathe and walked up to his car.

"No, I'm going to drive." He laughed and got out of the car.

"Whatever you say, Kid."

A/N: Most of you will say this was a forced, rushed ending, but this was planned and I like it. Thank you so much to everyone who's supported me the past 7 chapters.
