————————————————————

A few days passed after hanging out at Pony's place. It was around 2am and I was just now getting ready for bed.

I brushed my teeth and hopped under the covers, I turned off my lamp and closed my eyes.

————————-

I woke up to the sound of birds outside my window, I stayed in my pajamas and sat up. I walked downstairs and just made coffee for myself, I peeked outside the window and saw I was the only one home.

I just sit at the counter drinking my coffee and thinking about some upcoming tests I have, I don't get why we have tests during the last week of school?? Like what if I just skip.

I hear knocks on my door and walk over, turning the knob I open it and lean against the frame, processing who was there.

Oh!

I see both of Ponyboys brothers and that Dallas guy- how do they know where I live?? And are they even allowed on this side- oh that sounded mean, I didn't mean it like that.

"Uh... hi?" I cross my arms over my chest awkwardly, not knowing why they're here.

"Have you seen Ponyboy?" Darry asks, I just look behind me jokingly.

"No?" I turn back around, facing them.

"You sure?"

"Yeah why?" I furrow my eyebrows and notice Dallas looking nervous, I just glance at him for a second, suspicious.

"He didn't come home last night"

Oh!

"Maybe he's hanging out with Johnny or something" I shrug "no one's here but me" my eyes widen for a second- realizing I shouldn't admit that "and my parents" I quickly add, lying.

Darry just nods and Soda just smiles at me "okay, thanks for the help" they wave and walk off

I just furrow my eyebrows and wonder what's wrong with Ponyboy.

————————————-

Around lunch time I hear another knock on my door, I see that two bit guy with a beer in hand.

"Uh.. hi?"

He stares at me, I just furrow my eyebrows

"Have you seen uh.. Johnny or Pony?"

I just shake my head no and close the door, not trying to seem mean but he looked drunk.

———————————————

It's around 4pm, when I hear ANOTHER knock on my door- this was getting exhausting

I sit up from my couch and walk over to the door- I open it and see that Steve guy or Sam- whatever.

"No Ponyboy is not here"

I tell him and just close the door in his face, before opening the door back up

"And tell your friends that too"

I close the door again

I hear a knock again.

Oh. My. God.

I open the door to see the Steve guy still there- he looks nervous almost?

"Hey- uh.. do you have a car?"

I just blink

"No?! I'm 14!"

I close the door again

Where is Ponyboy?? Is he out doing drugs or something? Oh my god. He probably is?! What the fu-

———————————————

Okay, now I was getting worried. Last ive seen Ponyboy was DAYS ago.

This was insane?!

I knew in my heart that Dallas was hiding something, but what? Did he kill them? Kidnap them? Sell them? Use them as hostages?

No- he wouldn't do that

.....

Especially not to Johnny.

I just stare at the ceiling, thinking. I look outside my window and notice the sunrise. It was a nice pink and orange color- like rose gold or something. No? How can it be rose gold?

...are clouds usually dark grey in the morning?
