    Summary

    sooo this is low-key just me projecting my own problems on poor Darry

    ~~

    Pony is gone. Darry felt the guilt rise again, twisting up his spine and making his mouth ache and eyes water. He replayed the moment over and over in his head.

    Summary

    “Glory, Pony, you’re burning up.”
    “That makes sense,” his little brother mumbles, then puts his head in his hands.
    “No wonder you’re up,” Darry says to him, moving to grab for the thermometer in the kitchen cupboard.
    “Hey—” Pony says as Darry shoves the thermometer in his mouth.
    “Don’t talk,” he says, pushing back his hair from his forehead. “Have you been feeling this way all day?”
    “You said don’t talk,” Pony responds around the thing in his mouth.
    Darry rolls his eyes. When it’s done, it reads a cool 102 degrees. Darry winces. “You should probably stay home tomorrow. Friday, too. Maybe Soda or me could—”
    “I ain’t a baby, Darry, I can stay home by myself,” Pony insists tiredly, his pale and flushed face betraying him.

    or the one where a sick ponyboy decides it's really smart to hide the fact he got jumped and took a few blows to the abdomen from his brothers. they talk about their mom and dallas and what it means to be happy. ponyboy throws up blood. and all that jazz.

    Summary

    “Are you alright kid? You look like you’ve been in a fight.” The words taste odd in his mouth, because he knows better. And he is tired of knowing better. Still, like always, he ignores the piece of him that insists on doing the right thing. Absently, Paul wonders how many times a thing like that can be ignored before it withers and dies.

    Paul keeps his eyes on the road as Pony thinks the question over. It’s a moment before he answers, silence filled by the radio he’d forgotten he left on. News. Not local. He’d wanted to hear about someplace else. Someone else’s problems.

    “I have been. A rumble. I’m okay.”

    OR

    "I might have stumbled around all night except for a man who asked me if I wanted a ride." - The Outsiders, Chapter Ten

    It's Paul who drives Ponyboy home after Johnny dies, he's just too out of it to realize.

    Summary

    The Curtis gang falls to pieces when Ponyboy, three of his track friends, and their assistant coach die in a freak van accident.

    What they don’t know is that only a few miles away, Pony lies in a hospital bed recovering with another family watching over him, completely oblivious to the fact that he has been misidentified as their son.

    AND

    Heavily inspired by the true story of Whitney Cerak and Laura Van Ryn, two university students whose identities were mistakenly swapped after a horrific van accident. Whitney’s family grieved for her and had a funeral. Meanwhile, Laura’s family was unknowingly at Whitney’s hospital bed for five weeks before realizing she wasn’t their daughter and that Laura was the one who had actually died.
