❛ it ain't the same, i'm sorry! ❜
ponyboy looked me straight in the eyes as tears began to form in mine, he had just gotten back from running away a few days ago, he didn't feel the shame of leaving the people who loved him the most. now johnny cade is in the hospital with burns as i'm standing in front of the boy i admired since grade school.
"ponyboy, what are you saying?" i crossed my arms, freezing to death while the sunset hit us.
"i can't do this anymore, y/n, i'm sorry, i just can't." ponyboy shook his head. "i thought i could do this again but-"
"save it, curtis! you left for days without saying anything, no letter telling me you were alright, nor phone call! i cried those nights thinking you would never return back to tulsa, now i gotta cry over you not wanting to do this anymore?! you don't get to feel bad because i already feel bad for myself!" i snapped.
"y/n-"
"why? huh? why? why did you leave and not say anything?!" the tears have already broke out. "don't think i don't know what went down at the movie theaters with sherri valance because i do!"
"y/n, it was nothing like that." pony finally let out.
"that's all you could say?! that nothing happened?! you piece of shit." i scoffed. "i hate you, i mean it! i hate you!"
"don't say that-" ponyboy tried to calm me down, sliding his hands up and down my arms.
"shut up! i hate you more than i hate the socs personality, hate you more than anything!" i smacked his chest multiple times, still no pain in his eyes though. it wasn't long until i was pressed up against his chest, leaving his chin to rest onto my head.
"i love you too." ponyboy stroked my hair, i knew i didn't hate him, i couldn't.
