   Summary

   Ponyboy Curtis has a month until he turns eighteen, and that only adds to the downward spiral he had already began to go down. But they all have seen these spirals happen again and again, so they all see it when it comes. Ponyboy just doesn’t know if he’ll make it out of this episode of being down. (Story title from Growing Up by Jason Schmidt)
