    Summary

    Ponyboy struggles to come to terms with the fact that Johnny is gone. That Dally wasn’t here anymore. He copes by cleaning. But he doesn’t have to scrub until his hands bleed because his brothers are there for him. He thinks about what all of this means. Could he live on without Johnny and Dally? Could he remember them and feel complete, knowing that they would be happy for him?

    Summary

    Ponyboy sprained his ankle three weeks ago. And he is very much ignoring the way the pain had recently been flaring up. He had felt fine for the last week, so fine, in fact, that he begged Darry to take him back to the doctor to be cleared to run for the remainder of the season. His appointment isn’t until next week, though. It’s driving him damn near crazy. He isn’t about to ruin his chance to run again by telling his brothers about the weird new swelling. And cramping. And the odd color of his skin. No way. They’d freak out, and it’s just a sprained ankle. It’ll go away by the morning.
    I’ll be a winner for both of us, Johnny Cade. I promise.

    Summary

    Darry stands in the doorway looking directly at me. "Oh, Pony." He says softening his posture and staring with that exact same expression as the photo I was holding.

    Only now when I look at Darry do I realise what his expression was.

    Summary

    Johnny and Dallas didn't die, but that doesn't take away anything that happened. No matter how hard he tries, Ponyboy can't forget.
