Ponyboy's pov

when i woke up the only thing i could think about was Nathan's funeral. i just cant believe he's gone. i didn't even get to say goodbye. i felt tears roll down ny face. the room went completely quite after I let out a loud sob.

"pony, what's wrong."

"before nathan died.. he said he wanted to commit suicide.His parents use to beat him till he would black out and when he woke up he'll come to the house and I would clean him up. he said he always wanted to join the war when he was 18 and well he got his wish even though he wasn't 18 yet. Well me and nathan got into a big fight and we both said T-thing that i wish o could take back but i can't now and-" i burst out into tears.

"I think Nathan knows you didn't nean those things and i know you didn't mean it either." i was still sobing.
"i wanna go to the service." i said when i finally calmed down some.

"okay baby,if that's what you want then we can go."

funeral

"Nathan austin ross was taken from us at a young age. he was a brother a son and a friend to many. we will never forget nathan and his kind heart." he bows his head now his parents would like to come and say some words.

Nathan's mom and dad come to the little stage.

"n-nathan. he use to come home every day smiling. then we moved here and he meet this filthy hood and he changed my Nathan from a good boy to a hood."

"okay honey that enough." mr.ross pulled her off stage. i got up and went to the stand.

"HE KILLED HIM!" She yelled. i flinched but stayed strong.

"nathan was like another brother to me. i had only meet like 2 weeks ago but i felt like i knew him forever. he would come to my house everyday black and blue from his "parents" beating him. i would clean him up and make him a spot on the floor to sleep. he use to talk about killing himself all the time but he said that if it wasn't for me he wouldn't have been alive when he moved here. so you can say its my fault all you want but n-nathan was just as important as your damn beer and nathan Austin ross will and always will be part of my life." And with that i walk off the stage and into soda's arms trying to keeps my sobs quit.

"ponyboy." i look up and see Nathan's little brother Jacob. his eyes were red and puffy and he looked like he could pass out at anytime. i get up and pull him him into a hig.He lets out a sob into my shirt.

"Jacob, you have to be Strong for nat.he would want you to be."

"i know,ill stop in a minute just give me a second."

"your ponyboy?"a guy in a army uniform asked. i nod my head and handed me a paper."it's from nathan."

I'll always have your back just like you did to me.

Nathan Austin Ross

"bye Nathan."

"he said he's sorry and will be watching over us in heaven."

"jakob get away from that no good greaser!" that's it.

"YOU LISTEN HERE LADY, I DID NOTHING WRONG. JACOB IS FAMILY EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT! YOU NEVER DID CARE FOR NAT OR JAKOB SO WHY ACT LIKE YOU DO NOW! BECAUSE YOUR AROUND PEOPLE? IS THAT IS? WELL YOU GO TO HELL YOU DIRTY BITCH!" i knew i was going to ger a mouth full for calling a lady a bitch but at that moment i didn't care.

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!" She was about to attack me but a officer stoped her.

"Margie and Derrick Ross you are under arrest of 2 counts of child abuse."

"stupid greaser!" she yelled as they hall her out of the funeral home.
