Stay Gold(PonyBoy x Reader)

Chapter 33

I woke up and realized I had a problem. I couldn't get dressed on my own. I needed someone i could trust. Maybe Darry? No. Definitely not Steve. Dally? He'll try to get something out of it. Johnny? He wouldn't do it. My last options were Soda and...Pony. I could never let Ponyboy. I'll ask Soda. He's understanding. I sat up.

"Soda!!" I yelled. Then someone came In through the door.

"Yeah?" He asked

"Can you help me get dressed? Please?" I pleaded and he nodded nervously. He wheeled me over to my closet and I picked a light orange sun dress. Something easy and light. He helped me take off my shirt and blushed. I slept with a bra on.. Thank god. He then helped me get into the dress. He took off my loose pajama pants.

"T-There." He bit his lip

"Why are you so scared? Have you never seen a girl without a shirt on?" I tilted my head

"I-i have just.. Not you." Soda studdered

"Well. Get used to it. You'll be helping me a lot. But thank you." I gave him a warm smile and he nodded and stepped out. "Wait!"

He padded in

"Can you wheel me out to the TV?" I asked and he chuckled, then pushed me in front of the TV screen.

These past days were slow. I've been watching mickey mouse everyday and his annoying voice was killing me. Then came the day I've been dreading: shower day. I couldn't possibly let Soda bathe me, he'd be too uncomfortable. I had only one person

"Pony!" I yelled from the bathroom and he stepped in the door. "C-can you help me take my bath."

"B-bath? Uh. Sure, I guess" he started the water and plugged the tub. Once the bath was ready, he turned off the faucet and I slowly undressed. I covered myself and got into the tub. He rinsed me off then scrubbed my hair with soap, then rinsed me again. He drained the water then covered me with a towel and picked me up then set me on the toilet seat. He turned away while I got dressed.

"T-thank you." I fiddled with my hands. He picked me up and put me in my wheelchair. He wheeled me out to the living room when I stopped him. "C-could you get Soda?" I asked

"Sure.." He wandered off and Soda walked to me.

"Whatcha need,kid?" He smiled

"Can you take me to the park? I haven't been out in a week." I fiddled with my hands

"I wish. I have work today." He sighed

"I can take you to the park." Pony interuppted, walking from behind Soda.

"B-but will I be safe?" I nervously said

"Yes, you will. I forced Darry to give him fightin' lessons." Soda put on his DX hat and walked out the door. Pony walked behind me and pushed me to the park.

When we got there he picked me up and put me on the grass. He sat next to me.

"Y/n listen... I'm sor-"

"Enough with the apologies. Quit reminding me, alright?" I signed and ripped out a piece of grass and played with it. "And besides its been months. Just act normal."

"Okay.. But its just I was such a dick. Why would I do that to you? On your birthday? Just how-"

"SHUT. UP." I yelled, scaring Ponyboy. I hoisted myself in my wheelchair. "Take me home"

Time skip to the first day of school because of Pony's BBQ sandwich.

The dreaded sound of Darry yelling broke my peaceful slumber.

"Get up, kids! First day of school!" He yelled, banging on each of our doors. I groaned and slowly sat up. I put myself in my wheelchair and wheeled out to the living room. Tomorrow I was getting my arm cast off, and I would be transferred to crutches. I ate and got dressed, with the assistance of Soda. Pony wheeled me to school. We walked through the doors and I instantly almost puked. The scent of body odor and perfume filled my nose and I gagged. Ah, highschool. I checked my schedule. I had math first. I sighed as Pony wheeled me to room 706. He wheeled me to a table, specifically made for people in wheelchairs. Then he walked out. I heard a click of heels come in front of me, then I looked up. A smiling middle-aged woman stood. She had brown hair with blonde highlights and brown eyes. She was dressed in a nice white blouse with a black skirt with black heels. She was gorgeous.

"Hello! Is your name y/n?" She had a sweet voice.

"Yes. Y/n l/n." I smiled

"Great! I'm Mrs. Parises. (Puh-ree-sis) I will be your math teacher for the year. Since you're handicapped, a young man will be wheeling you out to your next class five minutes early. His name is.. Ponyboy Curtis? Am I correct?" She checked her clipboard. "Ah. Yes I am. But, today only since I am told that you'll be on crutches tomorrow. You'll still be let out early, just without Mr. Curtis. This is your assigned seat until tomorrow. Then you will move to the seat over there." She pointed to a desk near the wall. Then kids started pooling in. A stuck up brunette walked in, her heels clicking on the tile. She was smacking her gum. I groaned. Silvia The Soc. She was all over boys. Even though Ponyboy was a greaser, she has been chasing after him since he was a freshman. Of course, she sat next to me.

"Omg! Its y/n! What happened? Did your legs give up on holding all your weight?!!" She twirled her hair and everyone laughed.

"Actually no. I was hit by a car because I was beating up a soc, he ran out to the street. I wasn't finished with him. I chased after him." I smirked as everyone made an oooo sound. Okay, maybe it isn't the exact story, but its way cooler. She scoffed and Mrs. Parises lightly tapped her ruler on the desk, getting the whole classes attention.

"Um. Silvia Opendale, you cannot sit there. I have a specific seat for you, away from y/n." She pointed to a seat in the corner. Silvia shot me a look and slowly walked to the seat. Its only been 10 minutes and I already love this class.

The school day went by quickly, and Pony wheeled me home. I went to the hospital and got my arm cast off. I was so happy.
