Summary
I loved the country. I wanted to be out of towns and away from excitement. I only wanted to lie on my back under a tree and read a book or draw a picture, and not worry about being jumped or carrying a blade or ending up married to some scatterbrained broad with no sense.
Ponyboy makes it to the countryside, as a Soc with Dallas Winston, the toughest greaser in Tulsa. All it took was a movie theater, killing Johnny Cade's and a train. They'll stay there, forever.
(They won't. At least not until his brothers find him in 1983 and pull him back home against his will.)

Summary
"Sometimes…. Just sometimes wish I could write to them. Let them know I ain't dead." His thumb runs along Dallas' own. "Tell 'em I'm happy, that I love you."
That's an impulse that Dallas will never get completely, even if it's been decades. There have been times where Ponyboy's broken, cried after a reminder of his brothers: someone with Soda's smile, someone who had that sharp tone of Darry's or his build. Times where Ponyboy has woken from a nightmare and Dallas knows it's about how he had killed the Cade kid, Ponyboy momentarily tensing up, afraid before the rest of him remembered everything else. Even if they've become less, faded over time, he can't forget Ponyboy telling him that he couldn't make them stop.
He can't make the nightmares stop, can't stop feeling for his brothers, his parents.
It's 1983, in a small town in Texas. Ponyboy and Dallas ran anyway after Johnny Cade was killed and now, the law has come to collect them, whether they want to go or not.
