Ponyboy wanted to pick up the phone and call Darry and have him there within the hour to help carry his things down to the car and leave for the weekend. But he couldn’t.
He’d left for a reason. He was supposed to be here. His brothers had worked too hard for him to give up this chance. He’d worked too hard to lose everything he had.Or
Ponyboy is finally far away from Tulsa, but navigating college on his own makes him miss the familiarity of everything he left behind, until he remembers the pieces of the past he carries with him.

Summary
A gentle kind of quiet fell over the room when Ponyboy finally managed to stop laughing. He blinked a few times, like he was just imagining the adventure he and his brothers were on right now and it might slip away when he opened his eyes again. But each time he did, he was still lying on the squeaky trundle mattress with Darry’s head just inches away from his.
Soda’s voice filled the silence. “So what was so important that we drove four hours to get it?” he whispered.or
The Curtis Brothers embark on a roadtrip to collect some of their father's keepsakes from an old family friend they haven't seen in over a decade. Along the way, Ponyboy is reminded of childhood memories and discovers new ways to view his family, and his dad.

“Guess so.” Pony cracked his book open, settling on the couch.
“What do you want to do?” Darry asked him.
Pony hesitated. “We don’t have to do anything.”

Summary
This is my future, Darry thought, a cold lump in his throat. He fished his dad’s work boots from the closet. Found the worn gloves, pressed them to his nose and smelled leather and sweat. This was it, everything he was and could’ve been, reduced to the strength of his hands.
“Darry,” Soda said, with unfathomable optimism coating his tongue. “We’re gonna be okay.”
-
The world ends on a Tulsa train track. Darry’s life does not. (OR: Five times Darry makes Soda cry, and one time Soda makes Darry cry.)

Summary
This is the events of The Outsiders, pre-book, from the perspective of Darry. I LOVE Ponyboy with all my heart, but he is a bit of an unreliable narrator. This is all of the things he didn't see, the conversations he wasn't a part of, the reason for his misunderstanding of his big brother.
