*~Pony's POV.~*
I was to busy being upset to see everyone else walk in. She was my girlfriend. I loved her.
"Ponyboy." I heard Darry's voice. Right now I can't look at anyone. I'm just so upset. What if she dies. I couldn't protect her.
"Please don't let her die." I sobbed.
"I can't promise anything. But I can try." Good. For once Darry promised something. I looked up at him and he sat down next to me.
He didn't look bad for being hurt by Kendal. I got it now. Emma was protecting Darry. She knew what Kendal could do.
"Darry. I think she was protecting you from Kendal." He chuckled a little.
"Maybe she was," There was a silence. "She bit him a few times when he was trying to punch me."
I smiled a little. Maybe that's why I love her. She will protect us.
"Hey Annie, why did Kendal say 'The one who killed my sister'?" Steve's voice rang out.
"I don't know." Annie said.
Then there was a silence. I slowly fell asleep on Darry's shoulder. All I dreamed about was Emma making it through the night.
I woke up the next morning the same way I fell asleep. First thing I did was check on Emma. She was still alive but not really. God please don't let her die.
No one else is awake. But they didn't look to hurt. Emma look dead. She just looked like a pale white lifeless body. I heard Annie move as she leaned up from laying on Johnny shoulder.
"Hey is she still alive?" She asked rubbing her eyes.
"Ya just barely." Oh she looked terrible. Her lip was split open. She had bruises up her arms. I couldn't tell how her back was after being stabbed. She walked over.
"Come on Emma. Your a catcher. Catchers are supposed to bounce back up when they get knocked down. How am I going to tell coach you are dying? Emma wake up." A tear was streaming down her face. I cried all of mine last night. Soon Two-bit and Steve woke up.
They took one look at me and Annie and just stood there. Everyone else woke up soon and they just stood around her. Annie left for practice. I stood there. She was so innocent.
If she dies I can't live without her. She's part of the gang now. Even if she's a Soc. I love her. Kendal didn't fight fair. I can't just let him get away with it. This was just to unfair.
