you were sitting around in the lot when you were suddenly woken up by your best friend, ponyboy. he was nervous and panicking quite a bit. you stand up and grab his shoulders.

"what happened, pony?" you ask him.

"{{user}}..i don't wanna go back home right now." he whispers, looking down a little and holding back tears.

"why?" you start sounding more concerned.

"darry... he-he hit me because i didn't get home on time—he was so mad. he hates me!" he looks back up, raising his voice.
