When I got home, it was 10:30. Ponyboy had to be início in an hour. I hope he's not late. Darry was in the chair leitura the newspaper, while Soda was lounging on the sofá watching the news. I went to my room and read for a little while. Or so I thought it was a little while. It was 12:00! I hope Ponyboy is home. I went out to the front room to see if he was there. Uh-Oh, he's not here. What's Darry gonna do? I looked over and Darry had a look of worry and anger on his face. Man, Ponyboy is gonna be toast! Another half hora went por and Ponyboy was still not home. Darry kept thinking about calling the cops to go out and look for him, but if he did we would be dividido, dividir up for sure. I was pacing around in my room, Darry called some of the gang to let them know that Ponyboy wasn't início yet. Sodapop was looking out the window, but he dozed of a while ago. por the time it was 1:30 Darry was up and pacing around our living room. He was real worried. He sat back down and tried to finish the paper. He had only read the first page, he was so worried. por 2:00, Darry was going to call the cops. Just as he picked up the phone guess who walked in? Ponyboy. "Where have you been, you know what time it is? Well it's 2:00 in the moring kiddo." Darry was blazing with anger. "Hey Ponyboy, where ya been?" por now Soda was up. I was just standing there staring at Darry and Pony. "I...I fell asleep in the lot.", Ponyboy stammered. "You what!" Darry's face was red now. "Come on let's get to bed.", Sodapop said. "I reckon it never occured to you that your family might be worried sick about you.", Darry continued. "I didn't mean to...", Ponyboy started. "I didn't mean to, I forgot that's all I ever here out of you!" "Oh, come on Dar'..." "Shut up! I'm sick and tired of you sticking up for them!" Ponyboy was so mad at Darry that he yelled, "Don't you yell at him!" The seguinte moment seemed like it was in slow motion. Darry turned around and pushed Ponyboy so hard he flew to the floor. "P..Ponyboy, I didn't mean to." He was already out the door. This time I exploded at Darry. "Look what you just did! Do you think he wanted to be late?" I was out the door this time. I was chasing after Ponyboy. He had a little head start, but I still caught up to him. He was standing there with Johnny. We were all out of breath. Ponyboy was shocked to see that I was right behind him. "What are you doing? It's bad enough that i'm in trouble, but that doesn't mean you need to be." "Well, I wanted to see if you were alright." "Ya, i'm fine. Come on guys let's walk to the park and back, maybe i'll be cooled off enough to go home." "Okay." We walked to the park while I noticed something about Ponyboy. Johnny musta too because he asked Ponyboy, "Ain't you 'bout to freeze to death?" "You ain't a woofin'", Ponyboy replied. It was freezing out and Ponyboy didn't even have on a sweater. We were about to walk back to the house when we saw something start to círculo the park. It was a car. But it wasn't just any car. It was Bob's car. Oh boy, we're dead!
You aren’t exactly sure what you’re humming to… But it’s something.
“Hey, (Y/N), have you seen my-” “THUD!” You rip open the chuveiro curtain to see your boyfriend had tripped over the doorway.
“Oh my god, Two-Bit, are you ok?!?” You gasp.
He looks up at you. “Oh my god you’re in the shower!” He yells.
You yank the curtain back, covering yourself up.
“Two-Bit, are you ok honey?”you ask.
“After seeing that I’m not.” He says. “Damn, your beautiful.” He says, blushing.
“What a pig.” You laugh.
“(Y/N), please stay out of this.” Darry says, eyes still locked on his younger brother.
“She has a point.” Ponyboy snorts.
“Don’t use that tone with me, young man.” Darry says, voice raised.
“Who went and made you dad?” Ponyboy asked, shrugging his shoulders.
“You take that back.” Darry says, lunging for Ponyboy.
They start beating up on each other, nothing serious. Brothers will be brothers.
“Hey! Knock it off!” You say, trying to separate them on the ground.
Smack!
You fall back, the hit getting you hard.
The boys freeze, realizing they’ve hit you.
“Ow!” You say. “That was my boob!”
They burst out laughing.
“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” You say as you remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s mais like an egg.” You say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, you need to get out of there.” You say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. Or me. I just don’t like seeing you hurt.” You whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.
“What?” He asks, glancing over at you.
“You’re gonna get pulled over,” you say, rolling your eyes.
“Do you think I’d care?” He laughed.
“Dallas Winston, I am shocked and appalled you just said that to me and ran that red light.” You laugh. “I’m horrified at your driving skills. Remind me not to get into a car with you again.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Light cracked the sky open. The crash that followed jolted you awake. You sit up in your bed, wide eyed with fear.
You had been afraid of thunderstorms since you were little… something about it just frightened you to no end.
The sound of your boyfriend breathing calmed you down. The rhythmic deep breathing soothed you, only for a second.
Another crack lit up the sky, with a giant boom that followed.
“Dally.” you shake your boyfriend awake.
“Babe… what’s the ma-” He stops as he sees your eyes, wide with fear. He sits up straight and wraps his arms around you pulling you close. “You’re fine… You’re fine.” He whispers, rocking you back and forth. “I got you. I promise. I got you.” Hands running through your hair.
“I just don’t like them.” You mumble into his bare chest.
“I know. I know.” He say. “But I still got you. I promise.”
But you were already asleep again.

heres yet another poem that i wrote. enjoy!
i cried when i looked at the sky
it reminded me of you
my tears were hot with amor
and affection for you
i want you so bad, honey
youre all ive ever wanted
but i guess thats too much to ask
God wont give me you, im haunted
so i stay up at night with you por my side
but thats only a dream
its never anything real
baby, i wish you knew me
if only you were real in my reality
youre real in my imaginatin
but sonhar acordado isnt enough
i want your affection
i really do wish you knew who i am
but your amor i will never get
your affection i will never feel
but, before, we HAVE met
i read about your story
and i truly am sorry
you suffered a great loss and your pain i feel
and i wanted to say to you: Ponyboy, you are the author of your own life story
