Me: Can you please trust me on this?

Pony: Nope

Soda: Come on Pony

Pony: when will something good ever happen for me!

Johnny: Is anyone gonna do the disclaimer

Darry: I will. Cheska doesn't own the story, S.E Hinton does. Cheska only owns the plot and Pony's bratty attitude

Pony: I HEARD THAT

Darry's POV

I think Soda is still mad at Steve. Soda wouldn't leave Pony's side and now every time Steve tries to talk to them, Soda would ignore him.

Honestly, though, I don't think he really meant to hurt Ponyboy. I know he dislikes him, but he's still part of our gang, and I know deep down, Steve likes Pony. Just too scared to admit it.

"Darry! Can I go out?" Pony asked.

"Yeah! Just be back by 9:00!" I hollered.

Then he was off sprinting. My kid brother is just so fast.

Pony's POV

I was walking out enjoying the fresh breeze. I know it's not safe to walk around during the night, but I just wanna take a stroll. Usually, I'd ask Johnny to go with me, but he said he doesn't feel well.

I was enjoying the breeze until a group of Socs came. Great...Getting jumped twice on the same day? How "wonderful". I thought.

"Hey Grease! Aren't you the same kid we jumped on this morning?" One of them asked.

I ignored him.

"Oh, so that's how it is, huh," Another mused.

I ignored him.

I kept ignoring them until they flicked out a blade. Great, and I forgot my blade with me. Guess I never use my head.

I was bracing myself for another jumping, until...

Steve's POV

Earlier before Pony's walking...

I feel so guilty. And hated. Soda hates me. I hurt Pony. He ended up in the hospital, and now I don't know what to do. I tried talking to Soda, but he just would not listen.

I went to the DX to take 2 shifts, to keep myself busy and not focus on my best friend...well, ex-best friend, and Pony. Golly, I miss Soda now. Usually, I blame Pony for taking Soda away, but now it's my fault. I pushed him away.

Present day

I was walking back home from work when I saw a group of Socs. I decided to keep my head down and sneak past them. But something or someone caught my attention...

A Greaser. He looks about..13 or 14 years old. Wait...I've seen the auburn hair before...PONYBOY

Any 14-year-olds doesn't deserve to be jumped twice in one day!

I had to help him. I ran towards the group of Socs and Pony. Now, I know 2 against 5 isn't a fair fight, but I can at least stall them enough for Pony to get away and get help.

"Hey! Why don't ya pick on someone your own size!" I hissed.

"Well this is gonna be fun," A soc said. I saw a soc with a blade, and now 2 more are taking their blades out. Oh no.

"PONYBOY! RUN!" I hollered. The boy went sprinting off in the direction of their house, now it was just 1 against 5.

All the socs started making cuts everywhere on me. My arms, stomach, chest, everywhere.

Some were slugging me, but I don't care. As long as Ponyboy makes it to safety. The socs kept slugging me, and I kept feeling pain, until it numbed, and that's when I fell into total darkness...

Ponyboy: ...

Me: Do you trust me now?

Soda: ...

Darry: Wait a bit.

Me: Uh

Ponyboy: Yay! Now I'm not jumped!

Soda: Yay? When has my kid brother become so cold!? My best friend got jumped!

Darry: Ouch

Me: ...

Steve: Why'd ya make me get jumped anyway

Me: Can you guys please trust me, the next chapter is the last chapter. Just wait and see.

Ponyboy: Yeah guys!

Dally: Ya'll just shut up. Make the kid's day and-

Ponyboy: What kid?

Dally: I'm talking about Cheska ya idiot. Make Cheska's day and R&R

(OMG GUYS I'M SORRY ABOUT THIS BEING LESS THAN !,000 WORDS!)
