[ The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton Sequel ]

WARNING- [] There will be some feels. [] -WARNING
      
      "As the last seconds of golden sunlight part way for a starry night, I had only one thing on my mind: How many more people would be watching this with me- but it's different for each of them? 
      I'd written a book on a theme, and I really hope I've helped some people. Johnny would have wanted me to... 
      I watch sunsets a lot nowadays, and It's especially meaningful on a long walk and no company, but I usually lone it anyway. For no reason except that I like to watch for other people viewing the golden light set below the horizon with me. 
      Some of them are lost boys- like Bob and Dally, Maybe waiting for something beyond them. Grasping onto whatever gold is left in their lives. 
      'Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay Gold.' Johnny wrote, and I am. Hopefully many more will be too."
      
      Ponyboy Curtis Left on a sweet note, with a message that resonated. But EVERY story has to have some sort of Happy ending right?
      Here's one.
      
      DISCLAIMER:
      I do not in anyway own S.E. Hinton's book: The Outsiders, nor am i taking credit for it. I only own the plot of this sequel, but the characters, setting and time period were all Hinton's idea.
