Ah..damn it! Ponyboy said to himself. right, when I needed to tell him..."What, kid? Did you say something?" Steve pointed out. "W-what no.." Ponyboy responded. He always felt like he was treading rocks when he was around Steve. He always felt something off about him, thought Ponyboy, but he couldn't say anything because of Soda. "Hey Steve, Pass me a cig," Soda said. He tried to ease the tension between Ponyboy and Steve. *Why are they so tense?* Soda thought. "Here, lemmie light it for you.." Steve came over to soda with an arm around him and lit his cig. Ponyboy awkwardly trailed behind them. He felt like their friendship was a perfect bicycle. And he was just the broken unwanted third wheel. Ponyboy got lost in thought...Johnny. Johnny was always on his mind. No matter what he said to others, he couldn't help himself. It was even *before* johnny died. Ponyboy hanged out with Johnny all the time. He came over all the time, He was like family...Family... Maybe they could've started- "HEY! Ponyboy! Where are you going?!" Ponyboy snapped out of his rabbit hole of fantasies. It was Steve and Soda. They were 20ft ahead of him and he was about to walk into the street. Ponyboy shook his head and ran back to them. "Sorry guys..." He smiled wryly. Steve scoffed and looked away. Soda was looking at Ponyboy concerned. He walked next to Ponyboy and down low he said "Hey, Ponyboy...If you don't feel like hanging, it's cool...But let me know if you need anything, k?". "Um right! I'll go..to the park then..See ya!" Ponyboy waved and headed off. He didn't hear Soda sigh in worry from behind him as he left...

After A while of walking back, he saw it. Nothing much, just a plain parking lot. The road was bumpy and had potholes init. The white-painted markers were barely distantly from the black road. He walked a bit into the grass patch as he always did. Sat down under the same tree in the same spot. He looked up at the blue sky. Sun was about the bleed through his eyes until the gentle shade of the tree blocked the rays. He chuckled to himself. Johnny must've done that... He sighed heavily still thinking about him. It's been so long, why can't I let him go? Ponyboy pondered...
