    Summary

    "I understand you can't diagnose him, but can you please just tell me something? This is crazy."

    She was silent for a moment. "I'm concerned about an oncological event."

    I rolled my eyes, fed up with her dodging the question. "Dumb it down, doc."

    "Leukemia. It's a form of blood cancer. I'm not saying he has it, but the indications are there. I'm sorry, Darrel."

     

    The Curtis Family definitely doesn't need any more on their plate after the wreck. The universe doesn't care.

    Summary

    “Woah,” Darry says as he sits down across from Pony. Shit, here we go, Pony thinks. “You look awful.”
    “Thanks,” he mumbles, trying to take a bite of his eggs to throw his brother off.
    “Seriously,” Darry insists, his ice-blue eyes wide and worried. It makes Pony's stomach turn even more. “You look horrible. What's wrong? Are you sick?”
    “No,” he's quick to reply, shaking his head. “I'm fine."
    His brother doesn't believe him for even a second. “What's the matter?”
    “Nothing, Darry, I'm just tired,” he tries. It sticks, just a bit. “Didn't really sleep.” That was true enough. He had spent most of the night trying not to cough and trying to wish his mother back to life.
    Darry's eyes return to a normal size, but he still looks over him skeptically as he takes a long sip from his coffee. Pony knew there was no way in hell Darry couldn't hear him screaming at the top of his lungs last night, and he knew the nightmares freaked Darry out just as much as they scared him.

    Summary

    "When do you think Dally'll get here, Pony?" Johnny asked under his breath, turning dark eyes to meet green-grey eyes gazing up at him between fine lashes.
    "Any time now, don'tcha worry, Johnnycake," Ponyboy answers, letting his eyes linger on Johnny's puppy ones before trailing them up at the ceiling.
    They'd been here for a week and a half now, surely Dallas would've been here with an update by now, right?
