“Hey.” You smile, turning your head to kiss him.
“Miss me?” Ponyboy asks.
“Of course. I haven’t seen you in awhile.”
“I know. I just don’t want your mom and dad to get suspicious, you going to the wrong side of the tracks and all.” He mutters, just holding you.
“I know.” You mutter. “I wish it didn’t have to be this way.”
“Don’t you think I do too?” He says, holding you a bit tighter.
“I know you do.” You whisper.
“I don’t know what I’d do without you. I regret everything that happened when I first walked out. I thought it’d be better for both of us. But I was wrong.” He mumbled into your shoulder.
“I can’t wait till I’m 18. They won’t be able to tell me what to do. And I can have you.”
“And you’ll be mine.” He smiles.
“Love me forever?”
“And always.”
