A/N: Hello, all! I hope you enjoy this chapter, but it's probably not my best. I'll explain later. And I'm SO sorry for not updating for… over a month, or something like that anyway… I've been feeling stressed lately and I've been really busy. You won't believe, I mean, I've been DYING to update!

Songs for this chapter: OMG I don't think I should put them in here just in case it gives too much away (I'll probably already to that, though) but I'll put them in the next chapter, k? K! :D

It was truly the worst night of my life. And I knew what I had to do.

I just didn't want to do it.

Who would? Who would want to do it to that poor, sweet, innocent boy that I loved so much?

But of course, after that night, I learned one thing: he did not keep promises.

So I had to do it. Just after some rest.

It was late when I got home, and I declined my sister's offer of food despite the rumbling in my stomach and went upstairs. I quickly dried off and got changed into my pyjamas before looking at my homework. After a few minutes, though, I decided that I couldn't concentrate and went to sleep. It was then that I realised that I was silently crying, and I continued to do so until I fell asleep, with all sorts of dreams and thoughts buzzing in my head.

In the first dream, I was in a dark place. No walls, no windows, nothing. It was hard to see, but somehow I could still see. I found myself walking silently, feeling, what was it… upset? Angry? Scared? All three? And then, I realised I heard footsteps behind me and somebody begging silently. I turned around and found Ponyboy there, sadness clearly on his face.

"Caitlyn…" He whispered longingly.

"I already told you, Ponyboy, I'm-"

"No! Caitlyn, if you'll just listen to me…"

"I don't need to listen, you need to!" I cut in, an edge clearly in my voice. "You didn't keep your promise. This may sound like kid stuff, but really, Ponyboy, this date was important to me, and you know it! I waited over an hour, Pony, and I still had faith in you! Well, I guess I know better now, because you know what's gonna happen."

"Caitlyn, you don't understand-"

"Oh, I understand alright. What happened, Pony?" – my voice was mockingly sweet – "Were you hanging out with the boys and forget the time? Did you have too much homework? Was there some other girl? A Soc, maybe? Don't look at me like that!" – he looked confused – "Remember Cherry? That cute little Soc that you and Johnny picked up at the movies? The one with Marcia? Remember her? I know you can do it again, Pony, and you're good enough to do it by yourself! I never thought I would do this, but-"

"Caitlyn, no-"

The dream ended there because I suddenly woke up with a start, but after maybe ten minutes of heavy breathing, confusion, continuous pinching of myself, pulling my own hair, and telling myself it was nothing, I fell into unconsciousness again.

The second dream came next. This time, I was alone, crying, Ponyboy with me, but instead of comforting me, he was mocking me.

"It's your fault, Caitlyn. You're the one that decided to do it. You just had to have your little date, didn't you?"

"Ponyboy, it was a mistake, I-"

"It was no mistake! And now, I'm no longer here for you, you're on your own. It's your own choice, Caitlyn, and you've chosen wrong."

He left and I continued crying until the sky turned black, and instead of a moon and stars, there was only blackness and a strong wind. I was being sucked up, until, until…

"Caitlyn, wake up!" My sister's voice yelled from downstairs. "I've got breakfast here for you, you've gotta eat something!"

My eyes snapped open and the smells of breakfast filled my nose. The smell made my mouth water and I remembered that the last time I ate was lunch the day before. I quickly got changed and started for the stairs until I remembered something I had to do.

"Ponyboy…" I whispered under my breath as I picked up the nearest phone. I dialled Ponyboy's number and Darry picked up.

"Hello?" his voice answered.

"Hi, Darry, can I talk to Ponyboy please?" I asked quickly.

"Sure. Just a minute," he walked off and soon after, Ponyboy picked up the phone. "Hey, Caitlyn, listen…"

"We need to talk at the park later, okay? I'll meet you there, and please be by yourself, Ponyboy. I need to tell you something," I interrupted.

"Okay, I'll see you later, then?"

"After breakfast." I answered his unasked question.

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye." And I hung up.

It was hard to eat breakfast that day.

A/N: Okay, okay, not my best, I know, but the next chapter has to be in Ponyboy's POV. By what this chapter says, you may already guess what's gonna happen, and if you do, please…

1. Don't put it in a review. Someone else may not get it will be mad at you if you do.

2. Forgive me. I know it's pretty obvious, but hey, what am I supposed to do? You try to do better!

So yeah. That's pretty much it. Don't forget to R&R! If you don't have an account, you can always give an anonymous review! But please, be positive in the review and don't fuss over the little things, if that's okay with you, okay?

Thx! :D
