Go save him

For: @IsabellaPadillaSchmi -you make up the age
Pony's POV:
So I'm rambling about Johnny to my brothers, like I usually do. I've had a big crush on him for a while now, but I'm yet to act on it. Me and Johnny are close, but I don't know if he'd want us to be that close- in that way?

"You should just go tell him." Soda suggest.

"What if he doesn't even like boys?" I shrug.

"Johnny, definitely likes boys. And maybe you'll have less to ramble about if you just get all out by telling him." Darry reminds me.

"Ok then I'll shut up." I decide.

"Pony, go tell him. He probably needs to know someone cares about him." Soda persuades.

"Ok fine!" I sigh, heading out the door. I walk to the lot, he doesn't go home much. His home isn't much of one.

I walk up on him slowly because I know he's jumpy. He's sitting there quietly crying. I sit beside him, pulling him into a slow hug. I watch as he drops his pocket knife onto the floor. It had previously been in his hand.

"What's wrong?" I whisper.

"I don't wanna be here. I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this alone, Ponyboy?"

"Hey, you're not alone. I actually came here to tell you something really important." I wipe his eyes.

He sniffles in response.

"I love you. Really, my brothers got tired of me rambling about you. I... have a crush on you." I admit.

His eyes glimmer at me, "I love you too."

I pull him back into my arms for another hug.
What could've happened if I didn't come him here when I did?
