𝒀 / 𝒏 :

Me and Ponyboy have been fighting more and more ever since the date and I'm honestly getting sick of it. We keep yelling at each other for the most stupidest things ever. I don't have any where else to go to stay so we can both calm down for awhile. Honestly I'm thinking about running away and not coming back for a few days. I've told Sodapop about our fighting since he is literally like my best friend, but he just tells me everything will be fine. Which it turns out to be fine after we make up but after a few hours it's back to fighting.

"Oh my god Y/n!! Can't you just shut up?!" He snapped at me.

"Pony!" Darry yelled. We both looked at him. "You don't have to yell at her like that!" Darry defended me.

"But-" before Pony could say anything else his other brother Soda cut him off.

"Yeah Pony don't yell at her, she was just trying to help" Soda also defended me.

Soda is right, I was just trying to help Pony clean up a mess he made in the kitchen but he just started screaming and yelling at me. I feel like our relationship isn't so healthy all of the time. It hurts to think that but it's true.

"Well she wasn't helping me! She was making it worse, she makes everything worse!!" Pony yelled back.

I finally had enough of it and pushed Ponyboy out of my way and ran to my room to pack my things. I was running away. Everyone stayed out of my room while I was packing, I heard the gang yelling at Ponyboy for treating me the way he does. I knew the reason why Pony and I were always fighting, it's because he was stressed because of school.

I finally finished packing all my things, so I thought I would write a letter in why I was leaving.

The letter:

Dear gang,

          Im sorry for leaving but I have to,
Im getting sick of me and Ponyboy fighting all the time. It's caused me to think that we are in an unhealthy relationship which I hate to think, but it's true. He's always stressed about school and other things and I feel like I'm the reason for it all.

        Ponyboy I'm really sorry for being the reason you are so stressed all the time. That's why I'm leaving town for a little bit so you can have a normal life. Sodapop I'm sorry for being the reason you are always in between me and Ponyboy choosing sides. You are my best friend and I love you. Two-bit I'm sorry you won't have anyone to make jokes with anymore, but don't worry one day I'll be back (hopefully). Darry I'm sorry for staying here and making more problems and being another mouth to feed. Steve I'm sorry I won't be there to prank Soda with you anymore. But like I said I will hopefully be back soon. Dally I'm sorry for staying with you at Buck's when times got worse. Johnny I'm sorry I won't be there for you when you are having a hard time with your parents.

        I'm really for leaving like this guys,
but I think it's best for me to be gone for awhile. I love you all so so much never forget that. Also I'm sorry Ponyboy but I'm breaking up with you, all we do is fight.

                                        Sincerely, Y/n Y/l/n

I finished writing the letter and walked in the living room. Good thing the gang was in the kitchen talking to Ponyboy. I set the letter on the coffee table next to the chocolate cake, I knew they would see it when they went to get a piece of cake. After that I quietly snuck out of the door and started running down the street as fast as I could so that they hopefully wouldn't see me in the window.

I felt bad for leaving like this, but I just need a break. A long break.

I ran into town and stopped to catch a breath. I sat down on this bench next to some lady. I was thinking about heading to Windrixville so I needed to get some things before I went. But first I needed to catch my breath. I sat on the bench for awhile before getting up to go to a store.

I walked into a little store so that I could just grab some snacks and water. I already have a switchblade so I don't need to worry about a blade.

I got my snacks and water and headed out of the store.

I got on the three-fifteen freight to Windrixville and just waited until I got there. I woke up from my nap on the train and realized it was time for me to jump. I jumped off of the train into the grass that was wet from the morning dew. I didn't realize I left the Curtis' home at around 7 pm at night. Plus I took a pretty long break before going into the store.

I knew I couldn't go into that cold abandoned church on top of Jay Mountain because Ponyboy told me about the time him and Johnny were there. They were lucky to make it out alive. So instead of going to Jay Mountain I headed straight into town. I was walking but I saw someone familiar but then I realized I knew who that was, it was my best friend Emily from back at home. I immediately ran up to her.

"Emily!" I yelled running up to her.

"Y/n?" She asked. "What are you doing here?" She asked hugging me. God I missed her.

"My boyfriend and I keep fighting so I ran away, we are kind of in a unhealthy relationship" I explained to her. I knew she understood me.

"Oh I'm sorry Y/n, so do you have anywhere to go?" She asked me.

"No" I said and looked down at my worn out white converse.

"Well that's okay, you can stay with me and my mom at our new house" she said smiling.

"Thank you Emily" I thanked her hugging her again.

Her mom came to see us, I explained everything to her and she said that it was okay for me to stay with them. They have and extra bedroom at their new house so they were letting me stay in there.

We got to the house and Emily showed me my room.

"Well here it is" she said opening the door to the bedroom. I looked around the room and it looks really nice.

"Wow this is a pretty cool room" I said still looking around.

I looked around the room. It had a bed and next to it had a small wooden desk. There was a window that had a chair next to it, I knew I would probably sit there and watch sunsets and sunrises. The room walls were just plain white which I didn't mind. There was also a bathroom connected to the room.

"Hope you like it" Emily said walking out so I could put my stuff away.

I knew I would probably be staying here for awhile until I thought it was okay to move back to Tulsa.

A/n: hey guys! Sorry for not updating in awhile, I made this big chapter to make it up.

🥰💗
