    Summary

    Ponyboy Curtis didn’t do drugs– or at least, he hadn’t before. Or maybe he still hadn’t, and all the fuzziness and blankness and distance between himself and the rest of the world was something else. Something… not drugs.

    'Right,' Pony thought, his hand gripping a railing on a staircase he didn’t recognize, in a house he had never stepped foot in, 'but this is probably drugs.'

    -

    Months after the almost-murder of Bob Sheldon, Ponyboy has mostly gotten back to normal. Johnny is fine, he's fine, the not sleeping is fine, the fear of cold water is fine: he just has to convince everyone else of these facts, too.

    Summary

    “Alright, kiddo,” Laura said, "just… do your best here, alright? I think this placement… it could be good for you.”

    “It’s an emergency placement,” Ponyboy pointed out, barely holding himself back from rolling his eyes.

    “Yes - well, even so,” Laura continued. “Listen - call me if you do have any trouble, okay? I mean it, kiddo. Just… I’m in your corner, remember?”

    Ponyboy just shrugged, finding it hard to believe after all these many years of Laura complaining about his short-lived placements. If anything, it worried him more that he was being given this reminder - she didn’t normally tell him to call her if anything was the matter. Did she know something about the Curtis brothers that Pony ought to be privy to? Or had she also made the connection between Darrel’s imposing stature and Pony’s track record with attracting less-than-friendly placements?
