The sun warmed your body, the sand hot underneath you.
“Enjoying your nap?” Johnny asks, smiling.
You move your arm to block the sun out of your eyes.
“I was until you had to ruin it.” You groan.
“I’m sorry.” He says, laying down on his stomach next to you.
“You know, you’re really boring at the beach. All you’ve done is sleep.” He groans.
“Because I’m tanning and I like sleeping.” You mumble
“Well that’s kinda boring. Why don’t you come into the water?”
“Because it’s freezing.” You complain.
“It’s not that cold.”
“I beg to differ.”
“Well, you have to get in the water to know officially.”
He stands up, and flips you onto his shoulder. “We’re getting into the water.”
“Johnny! Put me down! Put me down!” You say. “I’m not getting in!”
“Yes you are.” He lets you drop into the the salty, freezing cold water.
“Johnny!” You yell. “It’s freezing.”
“But you’re in the water.” He grins.

heres yet another poem that i wrote. enjoy!
i cried when i looked at the sky
it reminded me of you
my tears were hot with love
and affection for you
i want you so bad, honey
youre all ive ever wanted
but i guess thats too much to ask
God wont give me you, im haunted
so i stay up at night with you by my side
but thats only a dream
its never anything real
baby, i wish you knew me
if only you were real in my reality
youre real in my imaginatin
but daydreaming isnt enough
i want your affection
i really do wish you knew who i am
but your love i will never get
your affection i will never feel
but, before, we HAVE met
i read about your story
and i truly am sorry
you suffered a great loss and your pain i feel
and i wanted to say to you: Ponyboy, you are the author of your own life story

You were actually close to Soda. Danny played with Grace and Logan all the time. You couldn’t even begin to imagine how they felt.
You hear the front door open. Darry was home now. You take another deep breath, and sit at the kitchen table.
Just breathe.
He walks into the kitchen. “Hey babe, what’s wrong?” He asks, setting down his wallet and keys.
You swallow. “I got a call.” Is all you manage to say.
“About?” He asks, eyebrows raised.
“Soda’s dead.” You blurt out.
The look on Darry’s face would haunt your memory for the rest of your life.
He just sat down on the floor in pure shock, mouth open, eyes wide.
