gosh, today really isn’t my day.
you had been surviving off of no sleep because your parents couldn’t stop arguing so you were already exhausted and a full time student, or at least you try to be. the whole day it felt like everyone was pissing you off on purpose, but your just sleep deprived.
Darry was on a walk, alone because Sodapop was working and Ponyboy was at home. she was on the curb literally sobbing and holding herself, on top of being sleep deprived her boyfriend had broken up with her in the same day- she couldn’t take it. her body was trembling and she was sobbing in her sleeves, she had just turned 21 too so she had drank a little on top to it all.
she is also the middle child and he’s the oldest so they are the perfect match, he’s great at taking care of people and she’s lacked care her whole life.Darry slowly approached her- he’s good at having empathy, he also literally has no bad intentions and it was cold and dark out
