This chapter is just explaining the character and story dynamics so please read to not get confused

This follows the story of 'The Leaving' book. If you don't know what the leaving is, It's a book about six kindergarteners that go missing and eleven years later five come back with no memory of their lives before and after getting kidnapped, or who the sixth kid is. I loosely based it off of that novel because I love crossovers lol

Ages of gang (Before kidnapping)

Ponyboy: 4

Johnny: 10

Sodapop: 12

Steve: 12

Dally: 14

Two-bit: 15

Darry 16

Ages of gang (After kidnapping)

Ponyboy: 15

Johnny: 21

Sodapop: 23

The Curtis parents died when ponyboy was 3 and Two-bits mother took the kids in to keep them together. Two-bit also doesn't have a sister in this lol

do to copyright reasons I changed the names of Tara Altebrandos characters to my own characters names (I also changed a few genders)

Lucus: Zander

Adam: Pip

Max: Frits

Kristion: Ari

Sarah: Kyoko

I replaced charlotte with Ponyboy

Now that that's out of the way let's get on to the story, shall we?
