    Summary

    She must be stressed. Her mothers illness hadn’t gotten better, it hadn’t for years so Cherry had gotten used to taking care of her. Especially since her brother was in college.
    Maybe it was just added on with school and the new cheer season? That must be it. Nothing else had really changed. She had her boyfriend, her friends, her family, her grades, her routine.
    Why was she noticing girls everywhere she went?

    Summary

    “Pony, Pony,” Darry sits up from the rug and takes his youngest brother by the arms, “Johnny is dead. Dally is dead. But you can’t go too. We’d fall apart without you. We’d be nothing without you. Ever since you and Soda were born, my entire life has been about you two. You’re everything to me and, and-”

    His voice cracks right down the middle, like a splinter of lightning across a darkened sky.

    “Ponyboy, I watched Mom and Dad die, then Johnny and Dally. I can’t watch you die too. I know I’m hard on you, I know sometimes I get mad and I shout and I struggle, but I love you. I’m just so scared.”


    Based on a scene in the musical where Cherry returns Johnny’s clothes to Ponyboy and he just sits with his knees to his chin, clutching the bundle of clothes to his chest and refusing to speak. It was so poignant, such a moment of raw and real grief.

    Summary

    Cherry was acting differently.

    Marcia just assumed it’s her fault. Most things are, anyway. She knew for a fact that Sherri Elaine Valance liked to party. Or at least she seemed that way in front of her friends. Marcia knew it was perfectly fine that she didn’t, but this was Junior Prom. Both her and Cherry had been fantasizing about prom their entire lives.

    Yet, there they were, on opposite sides of the crowded gymnasium, both without a date.

    OR

    Post-canon and Marcia wants to apologize to Cherry.
