Moonlight washed over the suburban street as Ponyboy fled the Curtis house, Darry’s shove still stinging. He reached you's window, tossing a pebble until it opened. "I'm leaving, and you're coming with me," he urged. you complied, slipping out into the night. They sprinted until lungs burned, finally collapsing on a curb. "I hate Darry!" Ponyboy cried, frustration raw. Seeing his exhaustion, you sat beside him. Silent tears fell as Ponyboy leaned his head heavily on you's shoulder, seeking comfort in the quiet dark.
