January - Ponyboy Curtis

finding out

Ponys pov
"Help!" I screamed frantically trying to
find a pulse. Eventually, I did find it which was a relief but she still was unconscious.

"Darry!" I screamed picking her dirt cover self off the ground.

I got her up and ran to the curtis house. It was pouring rain, thundering and lighting all over all over. I knew we would both have a cold.

As I ran up the stairs she slowly stirred awake un my arms.

"Pony?" She mumbled.

"Yea? Im right here don't worry."  I said soothing and sitting down on the couch putting her head on my lap.

"Im so sorry," She said crying. "I-I love you"

I started crying too caressing her hair "I love you to April...Winston" I said laughing through tears "C'mon lets get you cleaned up" I said helping her up.

I brought her to the bathroom and grabbed some towels and took off her leather jacket revealing her once white shirt.

I took a damp towel slowly dabbing away the dirt on her.

Once we finally both got cleaned up, I made some soup. The gang was upstairs with Dal, apparently his drink got spiked.

It is now almost 3 am, no one has gotten sleep besides Two, Dals drink got spiked. I cant help but think I should have been with him.

"Here!" Pony said gingerly breaking my train of thought and handing me a bowl of soup.

"Oh i'm not hungry, sorry Pony" I said. The truth was I was absolute starving.

He begged me to take it one more time and I knew that if I didn't he would get suspicious, though I was reluctant I finally took it.

Once I took it I chugged down the entire bowl, immediately after taking it down the guilt took over me.

I excused myself to go to the bathroom saying I needed to wash my hands, my stomach was already weak and I had a feeling I knew what I had to do.

As I shut the door and turned on the sink so that no one would hear what I was doing, I started to gag myself while crying, slowly as I felt it come back up the guilt went away.

I continuously threw up until all that is coming up is stomach acid.

As I stick my two fingers back down my throat, as if on cue Darry walks in while I was gagging.

With a very sympathetic look on his face he starts to rub my back and pulls my hair out of my face reassuring me that everything will be alright.

"It's okay, let it all out sweetie." Darry said in a soothing tone.

He grabs me a bucket and helps me walk out of the bathroom.

I threw up two times, just while I was walking from the bathroom to the couch.

After what seemed like an eternity we got to the couch, as soon as we sat down I look up to see a worried look on Pony's face.

Just when the silence started to get awkward and I stopped throwing up for the most part, Darry asks me "why", bluntly.

I immediately feel my heart going crazy, almost like I had just ran a mile.

I quickly gather myself together and tell him everything about how I have been feeling lately.

While still giving me a reassuring/comforting Darry was still in a kind of shocked silence after I told him.

Right when everything started to calm down, Dal comes strutting down the stairs angrily, he looks at me saying "YOU HAVE BEEN STARVING YOURSELF?" in his ghetto New York accent with wide eyes.
