The Outsiders | Not So Alone (On Hiatus)

(This had been on hold forever. I may continue this if I ever find out a way to carry through this story.)
This story, made possible by the wonderful and talented S.E Hinton, continues The Outsiders with Ponyboy Curtis and his close friend, Honeybee Reynolds. Ponyboy has been through a lot in the past. He lost his parents in an accident and more recently, his best friend, Johnny Cade. He has not been the same since. He's very inattentive and scattered. All of his hope is gone and he feels that he might never be okay again. Until one day after a random act of kindness on his part, he befriends Kurt Nelson, a fellow track team member. As he gets to know Kurt better, he starts seeing the same problems in Kurt that Johnny had. He has also taken a liking to Cathy Carlson. She's a nice girl, but as Ponyboy has learned before, even the nicest girls can bring along the biggest problems. Honeybee is a Soc, but has always been a true greaser at heart. She is set in her rebellious ways and this gets her in trouble. Her mother kicks her out one night and Honey heads straight downtown, to the Curtis house. She soon settles in with her cousins, drops out of school, and gets a job. She is happy being with her family and doing her part, but soon starts to feel guilty about the way she's acted towards her mother and wonders if she should try to fix it. She's then taken by surprise when she's asked of something that would change her life forever.
