'"Did you really think we would forget?" The blood drained out of my face. I knew exactly what he was talking about. And now they were gonna kill me for it...' On his walk home from the movie house, Ponyboy is greeted by the dreaded Socs and finds himself facing his worst nightmare. You never realise just how dangerous one simple mistake can be until it's too late. Can the golden angel escape the horror of the darkness?

Seven boys, one gang and a whole lot of problems. Ponyboy is sick of being pressured about school, Soda is coping after a breakup and refusing Steve's help, Dally is trying to help Johnny with his abusive parents while Darry is threatening him away from his brothers, and Two-Bit is falling in love with someone he'll never be allowed to have. Everything is falling apart as the boys are put through emotional and physical challenges that they never expected to have to deal with. Now they're trying to keep it together, but they can only do that for so long. Prompted by @_Jeanbo #1 in dallypop - 7/24/19
