The school ঘণ্টা rang. It was friday, the school let out. it was two-thirty. I usually wait in the hallway to walk প্রথমপাতা with my বন্ধু but not today. I sat on the bench outside of the school and dropped my বই on the ground. The wind was blowing my long brown hair, but it was pretty warm outside. i was looking down at the sidewalk and a shadow came over me. I looked up. "Hey Ponyboy." "What are আপনি doing sitting all alone?" He said. "I dont know, i dont want to go প্রথমপাতা right now." "Why arent আপনি walking প্রথমপাতা with Two-Bit?" I asked him."He got suspended remember." "Oh yah, for beating up that Soc." "You wanna take a walk?" He asked me."Sure, i said." I picked up my বই and we started walking on the dirt road. Me and Ponyboy were বন্ধু and we sometimes talked during school when we had the chance, but we didnt hangout outside of school very much. We lived in the same neiborhood. and so did the rest of the gang. I wasnt really in the gang, but i was considered a greaser girl. Only because i dated one and i hangout with them. I didnt really no where we were going but i knew we were goin in the direction of our neiborhood. But i didnt really care. I didnt want to go home. My parents are pretty strickt sometimes, and if i went প্রথমপাতা they would probly tell me to do my homework অথবা do chores অথবা something. They dont care if im not প্রথমপাতা most of the time. They just drink and fight like usual. "You wanna go to the lot?" Ponyboy said. "Yah lets go." I dont go to the lot very much because im afraid some Socs. would প্রদর্শনী up and try to start a fight. And i probly couldnt defend myself. But i felt ok cause i was with Ponyboy and he made me feel safe. We got to the lot and Ponyboy sat down on an old car আসন and i sat down পরবর্তি to him. "I used to come here all the time after school with Johnny and watch the sunset," Ponyboy said. "I still do sometimes, but it aint the same anymore." "And i usually end up falling asleep then going প্রথমপাতা and having Darry yell at me." "But i dont care. Sometimes আপনি just have to get away." Ponyboy leaned অগ্রবর্তী in frot of me and pulled out his cigarette lighter and lit a pile of sticks on the ground, then sat back. The আগুন felt warm on my face, and the air was getting cooler. We first stared talking about school, and he was telling me that after his two best বন্ধু died his grades werent to hot. But then they stared to get better after he turned in his english essay. We stopped talking for a moment and it got silent. "Are আপনি afraid of the Socs.?" I asked him. "No." "Well they beat আপনি guys up dont they?" I said."Yah... but shoot man, ever since Dally died the gang isnt the same. Dally was tough and didnt let anyone beat him up অথবা his buddies." "Thats why i usually walked with him so nobody would touch us." So now the Socs. take advantage of us, but we still beat em' back." "And at school i just ignore them." "Yah so do i." I said."There always joking me cause i hang out with yall. But i dont care." It started getting darker and the trees that were behind us were rustling. I sat forward, the sky was কমলা but dark and i stared at the sun goin down. "Why did আপনি want me to come with আপনি to the lot?" I asked Ponyboy. "I dont know. i wanted to talk to you." "You are the only girl in are gang, and i dont really talk to girls that much." "The last time i hung out with a girl was at the movies, and she was a Soc." I scooted closer to Ponyboy, because it got colder. But he didnt care we were friends. But i was starting to like him more. I'v always kind of had a crush on him. Mostly because he was the youngest one in the gang, and we had alot in common. We looked over at the রাস্তা and saw head lights shining on the road. A blue আমেরিকার বন্য ঘোড়াবিশেষ drove দ্বারা us and looked over but couldnt see us cause it was dark. "That was a close one." I said. "You didnt run?" "usually a girl wouldnt want to be caught being seen with a greaser." Ponyboy said. "Well they didnt see us anyway, and i wouldnt of cared." "Why would i run away from someone i like." I thought to my self, i'v never ব্যক্ত that to a guy before. I looked over at Ponyboy. He was looking at the ground, blushing. "Sorry." I said. I dont know why i apologised, but i did. "No, its ok. mabe i like আপনি too." It was quiet, and akward. It was dark outside. "I think its time for me to go প্রথমপাতা now." I said. "Wait." Ponyboy said. And he leaned over and kissed me. "What was that for?" I said. "I dont know." "Oh, well it was nice." we stood up, and i picked up my books. Ponyboy blew out the fire. He lit up a cigarette and walked me back to my house. We ব্যক্ত দ্বারা to eachother, and he walked home.
“Darry, how do আপনি feel about kids?” আপনি ask.
“About having kids?” He asked. আপনি were nervous.
“Yeah.”
“I’ve never told anyone this really… But it’s been my goal in life to be a better father figure than I ever was to Soda অথবা Ponyboy… I thought I did a good job, but I know I could’ve done better.” He scratches his neck. “So yeah I’d want to have kids.”
“Well that’s good.” আপনি smile.
“Why?” He asks. “You aren’t…” He starts, but then looks at you. “You are aren’t you?” His smile lights up the whole room.
আপনি nod your head. He picks আপনি up in a big ভালুক hug.
“Daddy, do I look ok?” Grace asks. I put down my newspaper to look at my 15 বছর old daughter. Wow.
“You look beautiful, sweetheart.” It pained me to see her going on her first date. But I was smiling.
“I’ll be good, Daddy, I promise.”
I grin. Exactly what her mother ব্যক্ত to her dad on our first date.
“I know.” I manage to say. “You’re a good kid.”
“Not like Faith,” Grace grins. Oh my Faith. Nine years old and already had a “boyfriend”. She was completely hilarious.
“Not like Faith.” I smile.
I get up off the পালঙ্ক to give her a hug.
“I প্রণয় আপনি Daddy.”
“Love আপনি too, sweetheart.”
“You’re still going to be the first boy I fell in প্রণয় with.”

Darry’s P.O.V
“Daddy?” Danny asks from the back seat. He was six now, and Olivia was one.
“What happened to your mommy and daddy?” He asks.
I don’t answer for a minute, just keep driving. What do I say?
“My mommy and daddy are hanging out in heaven.” Is all I can think of to say.
“They’re partying with Jesus?” Danny asks. “That’s cool!”
“Yeah, bud,” I smile. “Partying with Jesus.”
“Yes I do.” She says in that you’ve-told-me-a-million-times voice.
“Ok… Well are আপনি sure আপনি want to do this?” I ask nervously.
“I’m positive.” She says as she gives me a quick চুম্বন on the lips.
“I swear, if আপনি hurt yourself…” I shake my head.
The motorcycle starts, and goes forward. Instead of going with the motorcycle., she flips off backwards from it.
I immediately rush to (Y/N).
“Oh my god, (Y/N), are আপনি ok? Are আপনি hurt? Where are আপনি hurt?” I say, head spinning. If she’s hurt badly I’ll just…
“Dally I’m fine.. The motorcycle-“
“Steve can fix the motorcycle. Are আপনি ok? Where are আপনি hurt? Do we need to go to the hospital?”
“Dally I’m fine!” She laughs.
“You worry me,” I say, as I scoop her into a hug.
আপনি aren’t exactly sure what you’re humming to… But it’s something.
“Hey, (Y/N), have আপনি seen my-” “THUD!” আপনি rip open the ঝরনা curtain to see your boyfriend had tripped over the doorway.
“Oh my god, Two-Bit, are আপনি ok?!?” আপনি gasp.
He looks up at you. “Oh my god you’re in the shower!” He yells.
আপনি yank the curtain back, covering yourself up.
“Two-Bit, are আপনি ok honey?”you ask.
“After seeing that I’m not.” He says. “Damn, your beautiful.” He says, blushing.
“What a pig.” আপনি 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 আপনি 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!” আপনি say, trying to separate them on the ground.
Smack!
আপনি fall back, the hit getting আপনি hard.
The boys freeze, realizing they’ve hit you.
“Ow!” আপনি say. “That was my boob!”
They burst out laughing.
“Oh my god, Steve. Your eye.” আপনি say as আপনি remove the ice pack.
“It’s just bump.” He grins.
“A bump? Honey, it’s a huge black eye. It’s আরো like an egg.” আপনি say.
“Old Man can still pack a punch, huh?”
“Steve, আপনি need to get out of there.” আপনি say matter-of-factly.
“I got nowhere to go.”
“You can stay with the Curtises. অথবা me. I just don’t like seeing আপনি hurt.” আপনি whisper.
“I’d rather it be me than you.” He says.
“What?” He asks, glancing over at you.
“You’re gonna get pulled over,” আপনি say, rolling your eyes.
“Do আপনি think I’d care?” He laughed.
“Dallas Winston, I am shocked and appalled আপনি just ব্যক্ত that to me and ran that red light.” আপনি laugh. “I’m horrified at your driving skills. Remind me not to get into a car with আপনি again.”

Light cracked the sky open. The crash that followed jolted আপনি awake. আপনি sit up in your bed, wide eyed with fear.
আপনি had been afraid of thunderstorms since আপনি were little… something about it just frightened আপনি to no end.
The sound of your boyfriend breathing calmed আপনি down. The rhythmic deep breathing soothed you, only for a second.
Another crack lit up the sky, with a giant boom that followed.
“Dally.” আপনি 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 আপনি pulling আপনি close. “You’re fine… You’re fine.” He whispers, rocking আপনি back and forth. “I got you. I promise. I got you.” Hands running through your hair.
“I just don’t like them.” আপনি mumble into his bare chest.
“I know. I know.” He say. “But I still got you. I promise.”
But আপনি were already asleep again.

heres yet another poem that i wrote. enjoy!
i cried when i looked at the sky
it reminded me of আপনি
my tears were hot with প্রণয়
and affection for আপনি
i want আপনি 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 আপনি দ্বারা my side
but thats only a dream
its never anything real
baby, i wish আপনি knew me
if only আপনি were real in my reality
youre real in my imaginatin
but দিবাস্বপ্ন isnt enough
i want your affection
i really do wish আপনি knew who i am
but your প্রণয় 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
আপনি suffered a great loss and your pain i feel
and i wanted to say to you: Ponyboy, আপনি are the লেখক of your own life story
