Petals [Ponyboyxreader]

Part Three

Pony and I chatted about random things on our walk from the hospital to our houses, "Hey uh.. Y/n are you alright? Your face is red.." Pony said "Huh! Oh- Yeah I'm fi-" I was saying but Pony stopped walking, grabbed my chin, lifted my head up and put his other hand on my forehead (ponyboy is a rizz lord because I said so.) I was too stunned to speak, I felt like my face got 10x more red, "Y/n your forehead is kinda warm. Are you sure your feeling alright?" he asked, concerned "Uh yeah I'm fine! Heh.. Don't worry!" I said, knowing damn well I was not fine. Suddenly I felt the urge to cough, no.. Pony can't find out like this! 'Umm, excuse me Pony I'll be right back" I said, trying my best to not cough in front of him "Uhm.. Alright?" Pony says questionably he said I while I was running off to hide somewhere, I coughed out more petals and blood, and it wasn't just one cough. It was multiple with beautiful pink flowers tainted with the red hue of blood. It was getting worse, suddenly I heard pony walking over here "shit" I thought, I kicked the bloody petals under a nearby bush. "Y/n,you good?" Pony asked. "Yeah I'm fine don't worry!" I lied, god I hated lying to Pony. Lying to Pony about my disease made me hurt even more. Even if I can get this disease cured that means I'll lose my feelings for Pony and I don't want to that, I love that boy and knowing that I could just let my feelings go like that is too much for me. I felt a lump in my throat when I snapped out of it, "uhh" Pony said. "Oh sorry about that, c'mon let's go home" I laughed.

We got to our neighborhood and said our goodbyes. He walked further into the neighborhood while I went into my house, and to my surprise my brothers, Danny and Marco were there. "Y/n. Where have you been?" my oldest brother, Danny asked in a serious tone. "The hospital-" I started "YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL? WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Danny blurted out with worry all over his face. "Danny I'm alright, I got jumped by some socs. It's alright though I just have a broken arm, but we have an issue. It's not about me getting jumped, it's kinda because of Ponyboy.." I confessed. "Okay, well at least it's not extremely severe, wait. What's the issue with Pony? Do I need to beat someone up?" Marco, my other brother asked. He was tuff, tuffer than Danny even though he's was younger. He was like Dally in a way, except he's nicer and doesn't jump little kids or go to jail. "Nono! You don't need to beat anyone up I swear!" I pleaded. "Alright, well kiddo sit down and tell us what's up" Danny said. I sat down on one of the stools in our kitchen. "Alright so.. I have hanahaki disease.." I confessed, worried written all over my face. "Oh god.. Y/n we won't be able to afford the surgery" Marco said with a look of worry on his face. "No! I don't wanna lose my feelings for him!" I exclaimed "Alright then.. We trust you and we want you to tell Pony you like him before this gets any worse." Danny said with worry painted all over his face
