Author's Note: Hey thanks for the reviews! I'm sorry for not updating in a while, it's because I'm working on another fanfic for my friends.:/ And to the person that said I was copying off of Gossip Girls, I have NEVER seen an episode of Gossip Girl in my life and probably never will. Sorry you feel that I'm copying them.
Disclaimer: SE Hinton owns the Outsiders. I do not, (but if I did, I wouldn't have let Johnny or Dally die! DX) And I guess I don't own Gossip Girls? Idk. Alright. So y'all should start reading...
Darrys POV
I woke up to a scream and I recognized it. It was Pony's. I jumped out of bed so fast that I started seeing black dots but I shook them off. I ran out the door toward Soda and Pony's room. I opened the door and saw that Soda was trying to wake Pony, but it wasn't working. Pony was in bed kicking all over the place and occasionally whimpering. I quickly ran over to Pony and started out shaking him gently, then a little harder. ''Darry, why isn't he waking up!?'' Soda cried. I looked into his brown eyes and saw fear all over them. ''Soda, go get me a a cup of water!'' I said while still trying to get Pony to wake up. ''Darry-''
''NOW!'' I practically screamed. Soda was startled but quickly ran out the door toward the bathroom. I didn't mean to holler at him but I needed to wake Pony up. Soda came in seconds later with a cup full of cold water. I grabbed it from him and dumped it all over Pony's face. Pony instantly stopped kicking and sat up while looking around, confused. Oh thank God, I thought. I saw Pony trembling and so did Soda, so we both went to either side of him. ''Pone, you okay ?'' I asked while I put my arm around his shoulders. Pony only nodded. ''It was a bad dream again, wasn't it?'' said Soda. Pony nodded again. ''Can you remember it-'' I started out saying but was suddenly pulled into a hug. I looked down and saw that Pony was crying into my shirt and was holding onto me for dear life. ''Shh it's okay.'' I said softly while rubbing his back. Pony's grip was only getting tighter. I looked up at Soda and he looked worried. I looked back down at Pony who was still crying, but less than before. ''Pone'' I said as gently as possible. Pony looked up at me with red rimmed eyes. I continued. ''Pone, what happened?'' Tears started to form in Pony's eyes and he started to bawl again. I sighed. I had to know what was wrong. ''Ponyboy,'' I said gently but firm ''I need to know what's wrong. I can't help you if you don't tell me.'' Ponyboy looked up again. ''I-I-don't know.'' he stammered. ''I just remember a voice telling me that you were going to leave me in a boys home.'' Tears started to well up again. ''Oh Ponyboy, you know I would never do that to you or Soda.'' I looked over at Soda who was silently crying. ''C'mere'' I said as I was reaching out for Pony and Soda. I embraced them both. ''No one is EVER going to take you two away from me.'' I said while I let go of both of them. I looked them straight in the eyes. ''If anyone ever tries to separate us, they would have a mighty hard time.'' I said seriously. ''So quit worrin' and get some sleep, it's 3 am.'' Pony and Soda nodded drowsily. I was started to get up and leave when Pony said. ''Dar, can you sleep here tonight?'' Soda and I gave Ponyboy a questioned look. ''Why?'' I asked. ''Because I feel safer when all three of us are together.'' I looked over at Soda and he merely shrugged and scooted over. ''Alright'' I said as I went to lie down next to Pony. Soda and I both put an arm around Pony. ''You feel better now Pony?'' I asked. ''Mmmhmmm.'' said Pony sleepily. I looked over at Soda and he was starting to lightly snore. This was going to be a long week, I thought before drifting off to sleep.
