It was hard to breathe. You couldn't do it. You beat the socs. Just like you imagined. But Johnny was fading. "Ponyboy." He then started mumbling incoherent things but Pony leaned in closer. "S-stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold." "Y/n?" He asked you with his eyes still closed. "C-can you sing?" You nodded. Then began with,

Seize upon the moment long ago,

One breath away and there you will be, so

young and carefree, again you will see that place in time

So gold, steal away into that way back when

You thought that all would last forever but like the weather nothing can ever and be in time

Stay gold

You couldn't finish the song because he was taken away. Dallas slammed his fist against the wall and ran out. You and Ponyboy were frozen still in shock. They were right.

Nothing gold can stay.
