"My love for a greaser" Ponyboy Curtis x Reader story

Chapter 16. Things are going better.

(2 Months after the last page!)
Y/N POV:
I've been back to school for about 2 months already. It's November now and soon we will have Thanksgiving break and Christmas break too! I loved this time of year back in New York. It would be snowing and the lights would be out. Every store decorated and ready for sales. Here it was a bit different. First off there isn't really snow here. Yes the temperature drops a little from its usual numbers but snow doesn't come till late this year. This would be my first Holidays with the gang.

Dally said we'd go to The Curtis house for Thanksgiving. It was on the 25th this year so it would be a little while till then but I was excited. Currently it was Sunday the 21st so it was a few days until then. I'm in my bedroom finishing a report I have to turn in tomorrow for school. We have school Monday and Tuesday but Wednesday wasn't necessary to go to school so they let us off for then. I just about finished my work when Dally came into my room. "Hey get ready cause I wanna go out."

"Where are we going Dal?" "We are heading over to The Curtis house. I have nothing to do and I ain't leaving ya home, Pony is gonna ask me where are you and I'm not gonna say I left ya here so get ready." I nodded at him. We were only gonna hang out there so I don't know why he told me as if we were gonna eat at some restaurant or something fancy. I finally was pretty close to everyone as well. After the hospital Dal always made me talk to them and they'd come over here sometimes.

Finally Dal and I walked into the house him greeting everyone and so did I. "Pony your girlfriend is here!" Sodapop yelled towards Pony who was in his room reading. Everyone was laughing at the remark and I got a little red. Yes I am his girlfriend but it was so awkward in front of the guys to be like this. "Oh Hey Y/n." "Hi Pony." We smiled at each other and put his hand out for me to hold it. We walked away from the door and sat near the couches and watched Tv with the guys together.

"I'm excited for Thursday. Thanksgiving here is pretty fun cause it's all of us and we play games and the food Darry and Soda make is so good." Pony smiled at me as I had my head on his shoulder. "I haven't had a real Thanksgiving before. Probably only when I was 1-4 years old. Dally would usually take me to eat burgers or hotdogs from a stand near by my home." He looked sad at the remark. "I'll try to make your Thanksgiving the best as possible!" He told me happily. Pony always was happy for me heh.

From across the room I could feel Dally staring directly at us. I felt a bit uneasy by this. He was too overprotective of me sometimes. I turned around and looked directly at him. Soda and Darry were next to him too watching us. Soda with a smile, Dally looking visibly upset, and Darry making sure we were being responsible. Dally noticed me staring at him and he turned away. I looked back at Pony and happily watched Mickey Mouse that Two Bit had been watching there. "I love you, ya know that Pony." He heard and smiled at me.

"I love you more." He said back at me. That was our first time saying I love you to each other and it felt so different. He put his arm around me. I smiled and giggled feeling so happy about this. Pony and I have Been together for almost 3 months and it already feels like it's been forever. Not in a bad way though. I loved being with him. He always wondered if I was okay or I needed something. His remarks and comments made me happy to be with him. He was so tenderhearted and sweet to me.

Sometime had passed and Soda, Darry, Steve, and Dally went to work. I still couldn't believe Dal had a job but he does. He works with Darry at his roofing company. I don't know how Dally does a job where he has to follow orders but whatever pays the bills. Two-Bit had also left. Johnny had come by sometime after though so I was left with Pony and Johnny here. "Ya know it's been nice and all. I'm so happy she and I got together." By the way yeah Johnny and Vanessa had gotten together back in late October.

Sometimes we'd have double dates and it would be so fun. Being how baby-ish Pony and Johnny were it would usually be them stuttering and blushing at us while Vane and I would talk about school or the newest hairstyles on the ladies magazine. Of course we couldn't really afford a lot of those new things they'd show. Like dresses and such. I did sew and make us outfits when she needed it. Other than that we had the clothing we had either inherited or were bought for us. Dal always asked me if I'd want any of those.

Earning money was hard enough though so I'd always say no. Finally the guys came back from work by now and Johnny had gone out with Pony somewhere. I waited for Dally to finish his dinner we had eaten at the Curtis' place and would go back home. We had two days until my first break this school year. Well besides being in the hospital but it didn't count. I hated that place. I hated what the Socs did to me but at least now I know better. Plus I'm usually out with the guys when I do go out.
