Ponyboy's POV
As the Nightly Double came into view, I couldn't help but remember the night when this all started. I haven't been here since then. Well, I actually haven't really been out much since the incident. Only to school and once in a while out on a walk or hanging with Two-Bit.
As we came closer, a red mustang pulled up beside us. 5 socs came out and surrounded us. Me, Soda, and, Steve froze. I was scared. Especially when I saw David was leading. David was one of the socs that was drowning me when Johnny stabbed Bob.
"Hey, guys! Look what we got here. It's the little shit that killed Bob."
Fuck. They're after me. I'm so screwed. Soda stepped in front of me. Suddenly, I felt angry. Angry that Sodapop had to step in front of me like I can't defend myself. Then I felt angry at the socs, for saying that I killed bob. I felt so angry that I marched right up to the socs face, sidestepping Soda's grab for me. I've never felt so much anger before. It was all coming out at once.
I guess I looked about ready to kill, because David backed up a step.
"I think you should get back in your car." I said in a calm yet very threatening voice, that I never knew I had.
David briefly looked scared, but glazed his eyes over quickly.
"oh, yeah? And what if we don't?" he asked.
I flipped out my switchblade from my back pocket. Well, it's really Johnny's old switch. After I finished my theme, I went back to the hospital to look for it. I found it in a doctor's office, which of course I had to sneak into. No one in the gang knew I carried it. No one even knew I carried a blade. They pretty much figured that I would probably never use it. Ha. I guess they're wrong. I thought smugly.
I held it up so it was pointing at his throat. "If you want to join Bob, I'm more than happy to arrange that." My voice dripping with so much venom that it would scare the devil away.
I guess they knew I was serious, because they all got back in there mustang and drove off.
I turned around to see a stunned Soda and Steve. They stared at me. I stared back. Steve was the first to break the ice. He burst out laughing and soon Soda did too.
I had to smile. "What?" I asked them once they calmed down a bit.
"I never knew you had it in ya, Ponyboy." Steve said.
"Wow, pone, you just scared off five socs! I can't wait to tell everyone 'bout this!" Soda hollered out.
"ok, ok, I get it. I'm goin' home. I don't feel like goin' to the movies anymore." I announced.
"Ok, Ponyboy, see you when I get home." Soda said, and continued to the Nightly Double with Steve, who winked at me when he passed.
