Tim finally got back to me about a rumble against the soc. It was set for seven pm that saturday, wich was only a day away. I was gonna beat that bob sheld so bad he'll be wishin he wss never even born.
It makes me sick, that he gets to go where ever he wants, while pony won't even come out of his bedroom. He barely even speaks to the boys except me, and his brothers. He don't even talk to johnny much and they're supposed to best buds.
I let the boys know what was happening with the rumble. Darry and soda were goin for the same reason i was. The soc hurt pony, and now they're gonna pay. Two-bit and steve couldn't resist a fight, no matter the reason. And johnny wasn't sure if he should fight or not.
I told him the choice was his. And if he didn't fight at least someone would be able to keep a close eye on pony. Johnny said he felt better doing that.

I was layin in the lot watching the stars. I sighed to myself, pony would have loved the way night sky looked tonight. I hate that he won't even come out of his room. He use to tell me everything and now i feel like i'm completely shut out. I don't blame him though.
I decided to head back to the curtis's house. I was starting to get cold. When i walked inside the house was real quiet. Pony was on the couch staring at nothing. "Hey pony" i whisper trying not to startle him. He looks up at me. He's about to get up and hesd back to his room.
"Pony wait, i just want you to know, i'm here if you need me". He nods his head as if to say thanks. He walks off to his room. I get up and lie on the couch. Before i fall asleep, someone is throwing a blanket over me. I look up and see its pony. I smile, knowing my buddy is still in there somewhere. It might take some time to mend all his broken pieces.
And as long as he knows we're all here for him he could take all the time in the world.

The boys and i with the exception of pony and johnny, were all getting ready for the rumble. No soc better get in my way tonight. Dal had told everyone he was going straight for bob.
Soda's pov
I was so pissed at what those soc did to my little brother. I couldn't wait to beat some heads in. "Soda" pony was sitting on the bed as i started getting ready. "Yeah kiddo" i look over at him. "Be carful tonight, and please keep an eye on dally" he begged. I smile and kiss his head before joining the others.
Steve's pov
The kid and i have never really gotten on too well. But i would never wish on anyone what he went through. Those soc are gonna get everything they deserve tonight.

My buddy pony is a great kid, and now because of what those arseholes did, he doesn't even come out of his room no more. He was always happy and now he's always sad. Its like them soc took his life away.

After soda had come out of the bedroom, i went in to check up on pony. "Hey baby" i went up to him and put my arms around him. "Promise you'll be careful and come back to me tonight please" he begged. "I promise" i took off my skull ring and handed it to him. "Here, look after this for me, till i return" i kiss him on the lips. "I love you so much baby" "i love you too, i just wish my first time was with you" he says.
"When your ready, even if it's not for some time, it will be your first time ok" i say. "But how" "trust me ok" i kiss him one more time before leaving with the boys.

I had decided I wasn't going to fight. Even though the fight was about what happened to my best bud, i couldn't stand it. The boys were happy that someone was going to stay back with pony.
I headed to his bedroom after everyone left. I didn't step inside though. Pony's been a bit cautious about who he had in his room these days. He only ever lets darry, soda and dal in there.
So here i was standing in the door way, and when i look in, pony is sitting on his bed just staring straight ahead. I watch as he gets out of bed. He picks up his lamp and throws it against the wall. A lot more things start flying across the room.
"Pony" i try to get his attention, he looks at me. "Fuuuuuck" he yells. He walks out of the room and heads to the bathroom. I hear a smash. I run to the bathroom. There is glass on the floor and pony's got blood on his hands.

After the guys left to fight for me, something inside me snapped. I couldn't seem to control it. I was and still am so fucking angry. I'm sitting here on the bathroom floor when someone grabs my hands.
"Johnny i'm so sorry" i start to cry. "Hey don't worry about it, you have got every right to get mad. Now come on let me try and bandage up your hands" i help him up and give him a hug.

The rumble s about to start. A punch has been thrown. I find bob and start beating him sensless. The soc are so beaten bu us greasers, they can hardley walk back to their cars. All the greasers start to scream and yell.
Me and the boys head back to the curtis's. I walk into pony's room. He is sitting on his bed with his hands bandaged up. At first i think the worst. "Johnny" i yell "what the fuck happened, you were suppose to be watching him" i start to yell. "It wasn't his falt" pony starts to cry.
"He just got mad and smashed the bathroom mirror". Johnny explains. I look at the room. "Looks like the bathroom mirror wasn't the only thing he got mad at" i walk over to the bed and comfort pony.
