You're Darry's girlfriend, his high school sweetheart, if you will, you've been accepted as the gang- you'd also known Ponyboy since he was nine and Sodapop since he was eleven considering you'd known Darry since you were both fifteen, it was a lot of fun to sorta see the boys grow up

Johnny thought you were so sweet, and you were, you're the most maternal one in his life, you were gentle, warm, all that jazz, honestly he'd started calling you 'ma' in his mind the second Steve jokingly said 'yeah alright mom' when you told him to put his DX shirt on properly, Darry was happy, he knew you were a mother figure to some of the gang

Today everyone sat around, the usual, Ponyboy was beside Johnny at the counter, you washed the kitchen with Darry lingering beside you, Two-Bit and Steve beside Sodapop who leaned on the counter talking with you all, Dallas smoking out the window, you'd asked Johnny about his day since he'd been quiet- something along those lines

"What was that, momma?" Johnny asks as he looks over to you with his puppy like brown eyes which immediately widen when he realizes his word fuck up and the whole gang pauses
