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
“Mr. Cur- Darry. I’m sorry.” The nameless officer sat down on the couch next to him, a hand raised as if he was unsure of whether or not putting it on Darry’s shoulder was the right thing to do. It didn’t matter to him. He didn’t think he would feel it either way. “They stalled out on the tracks. Half of the car was crushed instantly, they wouldn’t have– I don’t think they even felt a thing.”
“Half the car,” Darry muttered, scrubbing his hands across his face as he raised his eyes again. “Half. My parents, gone. I heard that. I heard you… Half. Officer, my brother. I want you to tell me if my brother made it out the fucking car.”
-On the night of Darry's 20th birthday, his parents are killed in a tragic accident. But before he can let himself grieve them, he still has to bring his youngest brother home, dead or alive.

Summary
Five years after Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston kick the bucket, the Curtis gang has recovered about as well as they're ever going to. Two-Bit's got a steady job, while Steve and Sodapop are expanding the DX's services to cover more car repairs and less working the gas pumps. Darry's got a new gig at an assembly line that brings in more money than roofing and the factory combined.
Above all else, Ponyboy Curtis has both a full-ride scholarship and an Order for Induction from the U.S. Military.
(or: how Ponyboy gets drafted, doesn't tell his brothers, and earns a punishment he never really deserved. He never believed life was all-too fair, anyway.)

Summary
“We’ll get him through it,” Soda said, fierce and quiet. “We have to.”
Pony nodded, though it felt shaky and thin. “Yeah.”
“He’s gonna be alright,” Soda said again, like he needed to hear it himself.
Pony moved closer, reaching to brush Darry’s damp hair back from his forehead. The fever made Darry look different – younger somehow, fragile in a way Pony had never seen.
“You gotta be okay,” Pony whispered, voice barely more than a breath. “Please, Darry.”
Darry didn’t move, didn’t answer, just kept breathing in shallow, broken gasps.
—
It starts with a cough Darry says is nothing.
By the time the fever sets in, he’s saying things he never meant to, things Ponyboy and Sodapop were never supposed to hear. Guilt runs deeper than they knew — but so does love.
