   Summary

   Sometimes he thinks about Johnny.

   He’s imagined Pony like that, defeated and hurt, big black bruises covering his face, baby fat still sitting on his cheeks, and wanted to crash his car into the Cade’s house. Other times, he wants to run his car off the road and sink into some mud somewhere, never to be seen again.

   I bet Darry’s sorry he ever hit me.

   or

   darry reads pony's theme. he has an internal crisis about it.
