(This is a story where Johnny isn't apart of the gang and he doesn't know anyone else in the gang either until he meets Ponyboy.) When a quiet boy named Johnny Cade finds a sad, beaten up boy named Ponyboy Curtis who ran away from home, he decides to take him in and help him, but will something else happen between them? Will Johnny discover something sad and broken about Ponyboy? Read this book to find out! ;) (That sounded so cringy, I'm sorry.) WARNING: Homophobia, Self Harm, and Abuse, (maybe some Smut) and an Eating Disorder will be mentioned in this book there will be Warnings throughout the book so don't worry. BoyxBoy JohnnyxPonyboy I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM, "THE OUTISDERS" THEY BELONG TO S.E HINTON!

Ponyboy has had horrible nightmares ever since his parents died, but what where they like? Can he really remember them? How will they effect his health if he won't let anyone know what's going on? It takes a near death experience and a lot of coaxing for him to finally tell others the horrors in his mind.

Johnny can count on his friends in his gang. But not on much else, besides having a crush on his best friend Ponyboy, who has no idea of Johnny's feelings. At least he knows what to expect when his friends have a different idea of what crushes should be like. Fanfiction of SE Hintion's novel The Outsiders. I do not own any of the characters in this story.
