Ponyboy' pov-

I woke up extremely sore from fighting with Dallas and fucking soda. I got up and went into the kitchen. I yawned and looked at Johnny on the couch. "You eaten breakfast?" I asked "yeah" he said in his incentive quiet voice. I don't know how Johnny manages to stay that innocent when his parents were constantly beating the shit outa him. I mean look at Dallas, his dad don't give a flying fuck about him and he was beat up and he's tougher than hell. I guess Johnny wanted his parents to like him.

Darry walked in and smiled at Johnny "Hey kid" Johnny just smiled slightly and looked at the television. "Hey my gay buds" Two-bit smiled walking in the house. "Hey Two-bit" Darry chuckled. Soda walked in and hugged me from behind causing me to jump. "Chill, it's just me" he smiled and kissed my neck. I smiled and relaxed in his arms. "I gotta go to school. It's my last day before winter break" I told him. "Yeah I got work" he sighed and let go of me. "I love you" I smiled "Love you too, Pony" He smiled and kissed me before I grabbed my books and left for school.

I got to school and sat in my usual seat in first period english. "Hey grease, I want that seat" a soc said "too bad. I'm sitting here" I told him harshly "move you stupid greasers" He demanded "the only move I'm gon' make is my fisr hitting your face if you don't fuck off" I told him so he scanned me sitting here. "That's an awfully nice ring for a grease like you. where'd you get it?" He asked. I didn't know weather to lie or not. "why's it concern you?" I asked "you steal it?" he asked "no" I simply replied. "you don't get outa that seat I'll knock you out and take that ring of yours" He said "try me" I said so he swung at me. I ducked it and kicked him in the balls then punched him square in the jaw. He stumbled backwards so I punched him in the nose. "fine, keep the damn seat" He groaned and went to the back of the class. I smirked and sat back down.

I walked in the house and threw my books onto the desk in Soda and I's room. I walked back out and sat on the couch. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

I looked around and all I saw was grass and perfectly shaped stones in the ground. I looked behind me and saw Soda-pop sobbing and Darry standing stiffly with a stone cold look on his face. I saw a priest talking and the gang was standing around with their heads hung low. I looked at what they were staring at and saw both my parent's names carved into the stone. I stared at the stone blankly and broke down. I started sobbing then screamed. this can't be happening. My parents can't be dead. I'm scared. What's going to happen to me? My screams got louder.

I shot up and started breathing heavily. I looked around and saw Soda next to me. I hugged him and didn't let go for a long time. "what happened baby?" He asked softly "It was a dream. I can't remember but it scared me" I told him so he held me tightly. "please don't leave me" I told him "I will never leave you Ponyboy. I promise" he assured me then kissed me.
