TwoBit called Soda and he had come over.

"Ponyboy!" Soda screamed and wrapped me in a hug.

"Johnny!" Soda screamed again and wrapped Johnny in a hug.

I noticed a pice of paper in his hand and from what I could tell it was the note I wrote.

"Why do you have that?" I asked referring to the note.

"Oh. It's embarrassing but I would keep it near me so that I had something to remind me of you. Golly I almost even started reading your books." He laughed.

Soda didn't read. So that was a big shocker to me. I didn't say that to him obviously though.

We decided Soda would stay the night and TwoBit would come pick him up tomorrow. I only got him to leave on one condition I had to call him everyday and if I didn't then he would come up here and check on me.

We also decided I'd come back on holidays to see the gang and that I'd go back for school but I could come back to Dally's house on break days and summer vacation.

"Pony is Johnny sleeping?" Soda asked me waking me up from almost sleeping.

"No I don't think so. Why?" I asked. I couldn't tell if he was or not. I whispered Johnny's name only so he could hear it and he didn't move. So I guess he was sleeping.

"Cause I need to talk to you." He closed his eyes.

"Anything you want to say to me you can say to both of us." I crossed my arms. I had to stand up for Johnny cause I know if he were awake he wouldn't stand up for himself. He was too nervous.

"He's asleep anyways." He opened his eyes finally.

"Okay. What do you wanna talk about?" I questioned.

"About how I'm never gonna see you again! Your throwing away everything we have. All put bonds and good times. How could you forget?!" He cried out.

"Soda I'm coming back when school starts." I tried to reason.

"Yeah. For this first time in forever I can't wait for school to start." Soda frowned.

"Soda you could beat me, hurt me, and hate me till I'm dead and I'd still love you." I explained.

"You could become a Soc and I'd still love you." I smiled and snuggled up to him.

"You could hate me with everything you have, and you know what? I'd still love you." I looked up to see him crying.

It was true I loved Soda more than I have ever loved anyone. Even Mom and Dad.

"I love you Ponyboy." He wrapped me in his arms and for once everything felt normal.
