That Nerd?/ Ponyboy x Reader

Chap. 24

Ponyboys POV

I shut the door and Darry immeadatly stood up, his eyes puffy and red along with Sodas.

"Where the hell were you?" Darry snapped.

"Bucks." I replied simply. Soda looked at Darry with concern. I knew my eyes were red and my face tear stained.

"What happened?" Darry asked, his demeanor now calmer.

I felt my bottom lip tremble.

Don't cry. Not in front of your brothers.

"Y/n And Curly happened." I said, my voice cracking as I ran upstairs.

I slammed the door shut and threw myself onto the bed, doing the one thing that calmed me down.

I pulled off my shirt and put on my glasses before propping a book up in my lap.

I tried to read but my mind was off y/n. It couldn't get off of her.

Curly had hurt me and the bastard didn't even care. He had kissed her and acted like it was nothing, as if it wouldn't change anything between us.

I felt anger boil in me, throwing my book down and running downstairs.

"Pony where are you g-"

"Be back!" I yelled, sprinting down the sidewalk toward Curlys.

I spotted his rusty car out front and anger over came me as I punched the window, hissing in pain as glass went into my hand.

"Fucker!" I yelled as I kicked the car, putting a dent into it.

I ran to the yard and grabbed a bat laying in the grass.

I grabbed it and climbed onto the hood of the car, swinging the bat down on the front windshield.

The front door swung open and I heard yelling.

"Ponyboy! What the hell are you doing!" Curly yelled as I jumped off the hood, bat still in hand.

"You bastard!" I yelled, swinging the bat at him but He ducked.

"Woah! Pony! Calm down!" He yelled, holding out his hands in protection.

"You took her you bitch!" I yelled, pursing my lips, forgetting I still had my glasses on.

I probably didn't look very tough with round wires on my face but I didn't care.

"Who? Y/n?" He asked frantically.

"Obviously!" I snapped.

"Pony, I didn't take her! I swear!" He yelled.

"You knew I loved her!" I slammed the bat down on the hood.

"You knew I loved her and you came and swooped in with your charm! Curly Shepard, bad boy, the rebel, the boy girls drool over! Why her Curly? The one girl I loved you have to take!" I yelled.

"You're not the only one who loves her, Ponyboy!" He yelled.

"What?" I asked.

"I love her too. And actually love her. Not her body, not her looks. Her." He said quietly. I laughed coldly and ran a hand through my hair.

"You better chose your words wisely when you're speaking to a man holding bat." I chuckled in the most cold way I had ever heard, pointing the bat at him intimidatingly.

"Pony... i know you love her, and I do too, but you can't force her to love you." Curly shook his head.

I pursed my lips and slid over the hood, swinging at him again.

"Bitch!" I yelled.

"Pony!" He yelled as he ducked again.

"Ponyboy! If you love her what are you doing here, huh?" He yelled.

I swallowed and blinked slowly.

"Im more scared of her breaking my Damn heart than I am of you beating my ass." I replied.

"What about my car?" He tugged at his hair.

"I'm not paying for shit. You already took my girl, you're not taking my Damn money too." I growled before walking down the sidewalk, the bat dragging behind me.

I felt better. Only a little.
