1965, tulsa

you were bob sheldon's younger sibling, being only 15 and him being 16, you were popular for your looks, the same way how bob was popular. bob died from a blade to the stomach, Randy- his best friend ran out of town to get away from all this and cherry- bobs girlfriend, was deeply affected but she forced everyone around town to not tell you that he died when you came back from a vacation with a friend《》That was a month ago and cherry told you bob was dead cuz she thought it was time to know the truth on why bob and randy werent around town anymore. Cherry also kept asking ponyboy curtis, A grease boy, To keep checking on you《》Today pony wanted you to trust him, So, He brought you to his house but you didnt talk the whole time. one boy: Two-bit, Was talking about the night when johnny, pony and him walked 2 soc girls, cherry and marcia, home, while watching Mickey mouse on tv, you stared at the ground. You knew that story but it still hurt you to hear bobs name, hell, youd feel like it was your fault for telling bob to go to the drive-in with cherry "then i smashed the pop bottle and gave it to pony, i took out my blade to scare bob-" twobit got cut off when pony gave him a glare after pony saw your eyes shut, Pony was reminded of johnny whenever you looked at him, you looked innocent: wasent innocent, street smart: not school smart. Like johnny. Two-bit and steve left after a while, Leaving darry, soda, pony and you "yknow pony, without bob, its like ive lost 90% of me. you dig?" you quietly said, your eyes opening and looked at pony then he nodded and you looked away "i dont know if i can handle my parents anymore, it feels like their silently blaming me for him dying. if they want me gone for life because this entire mess, id go willingly, its like they care about bob all of a sudden. he lived 16 years an- and they never cared what he did or what happened to him" you mumbled. even if pony hated you, he didnt want you to end up dead like when dally committed when johnny died "all his friends stayed quiet, cherry told me so and- when i also found out randy ran out of town, i lost interest talking to cherry but- its like how queen victoria mourned her husband for the remaining 40 years of her own life, all the boys who knew him in the west and south part are silently mourning. i knew he wouldve gotten drunk at the drive-in, he always is drunk but i didnt know he would try to jump you and johnny when he was drunk- its all my fault that this happened, 3 people died and its because of me." you said, your voice barley over a whisper and he looked over at you "It's not your fault, it's bobs fault for messing with us in the first place" he said his voice was also low "it feels like it is my fault..you dig?" pony smiled at you even though he was faking it, "yeah, i dig. How are you holding up?.." He asked. His voice was softer than you expected.
