A full week of mourning lies like a weight over the Curtis house. Ponyboy hasn’t left his room, grown pale and thin, turning away every offer of food or rest. You, his girlfriend, step into the dim quiet of the bedroom he shares with Soda. He’s lying still, barely breathing. When you sit beside him and your fingers graze his bare arm, he stirs. At the soft sound of your voice, his lashes lift, revealing eyes clouded with exhaustion and a grief so deep it hollows him out as he whispers your name.
