A Ride Home {COMPLETED}

Chapter 28

|| Pony's POV ||

It was about a month after Mel had died. Two Bit had asked if I wanted to come over to look for a few keep sakes of Mel's to keep with him.

As soon as we got there I made my way to her room. I opened the door and was hit by a strong wave of her smell. I sucked in a breath, keeping my eyes from watering.

I walked over to her bed and sat down, running my fingers over her blankets. I wished more than anything that she was here with me. I made my way over to her dresser and opened up her drawers. I sifted through, trying to find anything to keep of her.

I found a small jewelry box and opened it, finding her favorite necklace Two Bit had gotten her last Christmas. I smiled and slipped it around my neck. As I was looking, I came upon a crinkled, ripped piece of paper. I slowly unfolded it, trying not to rip it.

August 24,1964

Pony,

If I had a nickel for how many times I fell in love with you over and over again, I'd be a billionaire.

I know we're supposed to be best friends but I can't help but fall in love with someone who treats me like a girl even when I've been treated as just one of the guys my whole life.

Remember the first day we met? When you looked at me with that horrid look of hate? I felt my whole heart shatter. All I needed in my life was friends and when Two introduced me to all you, everyone welcomed me but you. It hurt, Pony.

But then, like two weeks later when we were all biking around town and Soda fell off his bike and cut his knee and I bandaged him up. As soon as I touched him you advanced at me like I was going to pour salt in his cut or something. Then I was helping and I was suddenly good enough for you.

It took me three months to fully trust you.

How could I know if I could trust you, after two weeks of complete and utter hate coming from you, to change in a time span of five minutes.

But I slowly came to trust you, thanks to Johnny. I love you, Ponyboy. I know you'll probably never like me back because you have Cherry Valance...

Even if you don't like me, and I'll never tell you because I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship. So, yeah.

-Mel

I stood slowly, wiping my eyes. I tucked the note away in my pocket, smiling. I grabbed her favorite sweatshirt and made my way downstairs.
