1965 year.

One day Johnny and Ponyboy were attacked by Soc again. you don't even understand what scared you more, that these unscrupulous teenagers were fighting near your house, or that teenagers mobbed two boys. You did not remain indifferent, immediately ran out of the house and started shouting that you would call the police if they did not leave, there was no reaction. Then you took out your gun and shot into the ground next to Soc feet. Of course, being scared, they immediately left, and that's how your little friendship with Johnny and Ponyboy began.

you lived alone, you had no husband, no children, no dog, no kitten, you were the only one in your house. You were happy every time the two boys visited you, where you could chat with them for hours about the future or another topic, Where you could treat them to food every time they came to you, you could also help them with their wounds. you can say that you have become like a mother figure for them, which they missed so much.

While you were resting on the couch, someone began to aggressively knock on your door, you instantly opened it to find out the source of such noise from the Ponyboy. Ponyboy was breathing heavily, was covered in tears, and his cheek was all red.

"Darry.." Ponyboy mumbles with heavy breathing. "Darry hit me.." he said in one breath and immediately clung to you in his arms, you hugged ponyboy tightly. You didn't really know the Ponyboy family, only from the boy's words that he lived without parents with his brothers.

"you can.. Can I stay the night at your place? Please.." He asked you when he tore his head off your body and his green-gray eyes looked at you with hope. Ponyboy didn't want to go home because of Darry, but he also didn't want to stay outside on a cold night. He had nowhere to go but you..
