you and ponyboy have been dating for a few months now but you two grew up together and were best friends before that.

you were walking to the Curtis's house but then you saw Soda pop, ponyboy's older brother, crouching down on the ground next to ponyboy who was sitting on the ground. His face looked like it had been beat up pretty bad and he had a few cuts on his arms. Soda pop was checking his injuries.
