Disclaimer: LAST DISCLAIMER I WILL BE PLACING ON HERE. I DO NOT own the outsiders characters BUT I DO OWN THE OC CHARACTERS AND THE PLOTLINE. I am done. Lets get to the story!

Darry's POV

This kid is getting into so much trouble it's annoying me. I looked down at him and looked back at Dally and Steve "So you guys think he cut himself?"

They both nodded their heads.

Soda doesn't believe anything what Dally or Steve are saying. I looked at him "Soda, open your God damn eyes this kid isn't getting jumped by socs. This kid just likes to cut and get us worried about him."

Soda looks at Dally isn't 100% sure but Steve is. I sighed "I will ta-"

I shook my head "No. I am going to talk to him about everything. He is in for one hell off a lecture."

Suddenly Two-Bit yells "I-it's Ponyboy! H-he jumped out of his window and left a note."

I grabbed it and start reading it.

Man, I can't believe you guys think I would drop so low to cut my neck. You know what? I don't care. I don't give a fuck whether you believe me or not. Steve is an asshole. Dallas is confused but at least he seems to be on Sodapop's side and well Darrel Junior is 100% on Stevie's side. Man, sometimes I just wonder why the hell does Darrel Junior, look after me if he hates me so much.

Dallas was right, Greasers are tough. I needa toughen up, I ain't gonna be some little whimp or a baby you guys have to look after. Don't look for me. I know what I am going to do with my life. This is the end of Ponyboy Curtis. You don't know what's going on in my life so don't go point fingers yet cause I sure ain't doing that to anyone around me. I guess some people just don't follow their own rules 'Family before friends' my ass. *Laughs bitterly* Yeah sure Darrel Junior truts Steve's ass over his own brother. You know what fuck him, fuck your believes on me, just don't fucking look for me. Ponyboy Curtis has died. Y'all can go ahead think that I am dead, cause that will do all of us some good shit.

Thanks for dealing with my sorry little worthless ass, hope y'all can live in peace and oh Stevie I hope you enjoy your stupid ass time with Sodapop, you won't have to deal with a tag along anymore.

I am sorry Sodapop. I wish you didn't have to deal with my sorry ass.

Keith, thanks for all the times where you acted like the glue off the "gang" I don't belong to.

Dallas thanks for protecting my whimpy ass.

Darrel Junior thanks for not understanding me but thanks for everything you did in my life.

Steve, even though you hate my guts and will most probably be thankful after reading this...Thanks for supporting Sodapop through his ups and downs. I am not a worthy brother so I couldn't really help him with his issues.

Hope y'all live a peaceful life without the stupidest Curtis.

Peace,

Dead Curtis.

I gasped. Ponyboy left us. I dropped the letter and run into his room just to see that he took all of his jackets, Gone With The Wind book & his shirts and pants and undergarments. What is does he think about himself?!

I groaned and plopped down on his bed and cried into my hands. Darrel Junior. Nobody has ever called me that since mom died. Hell nobody has called me that since I was 12. The last time I ever got yelled by Mom.

I heard a scream. I ran out of the room just to see Sodapop screaming. I went and hug him but he just hugs me tightly and cries on my chest. He sobs "Darry. He called me Sodapop. He left us Darry. Why did he leave Darry? He wants us to believe that he has died Darry...Why?"

I just held my middle brother in my arms and let him sob while everyone was else was looking down at us with worried faces. Hell, even Dally had tears in his eyes, Two bit was sitting down and hugging his knees, while Steve curses "That lilttle brat! I am going to hunt his ass down and make sure to give his ass to his hands. He needs to be grateful for you guys."

I looked up at Steve with a blank yet shocked face. He just called Ponyboy a brat and what's even more shocking is that Sodapop didn't even react. Sodapop nods "No Steve. He wants us to think he is dead right? Then we shall act like he is never existed."

Two Bit, Dally and I, hell even Steve was shocked. Dally just shakes his head "You may not care but I do. He is my kid brother to whether he isn't my blood. He is still my brother...I can't believe you Soda."

He walks out off the house with Two-Bit following him. Two-Bit is leaving to? He mutters "You have changed Soda. Steve you are just an asshole."

Soda yells "Hey don't call my best friend an asshole."

Two-Bit flicks him off and walks out as well. Steve was smirking. I just let go off Soda "You know they both are right..I can't leave because you are my brother but if we weren't leaving I would've left as well."

I turned away from my brother and ignored Steve and walked back into Pony's room and locked the door and sit down on the ground and sobbed in the first time in 15 years. Oh Ponyboy, why?
