    Summary

    “Come on, let's get in the car,” Darry says, pulling away slightly. “Can you walk?”
    “Yes,” says Pony.
    “Okay, can you start walking?”
    “No.”
    Darry sighs, almost like he wants to laugh. “Right. Okay. Let me put my shoes on, and then I'll--”
    His stomach lurches, then drops. “Darry?”
    “Yeah?”
    “I think I'm gonna--”
    Before he can finish the sentence, his legs give way underneath him and he collapses to the ground. He hears his own body thud ungracefully to the ground, followed closely by Darry swearing under his breath, then calling for Soda. His heart starts pounding against his chest, beating furiously. The last thing he sees is Darry's eyes staring worriedly down at him, wide open, filled with fear, trying to keep him up right, before everything fades completely.

    Summary

    And then Dallas was moving, dropping the soc he’d been fighting to the ground and advancing on the one holding Ponyboy.

    “I’m warning you!” The soc yelled. Dally didn’t even pause.

    Click. Pony heard the hammer fall.

    Or, Ponyboy gets a scare during a fight, and Dallas feels responsible.

    Summary

    Jonathan makes it all of five steps before it all goes wrong.

    Behind him, Will says, “Mike?”

    Mike does not reply. Jonathan glances over his shoulder, mid-step, and pulls up short in confusion at what he sees. Mike is still by the van where the darkness is deepest, his white t-shirt dappled with darker shadows, standing stock-still. Unnervingly still. Stiller than Jonathan has ever seen him. No bouncing leg, no tapping finger, no nothing; he’s just standing there, staring down at his blood-covered hands in a faraway sort of fascination.

    His wet blood-covered hands.

    (or, jonathan's always known mike is willing to do a lot for his little brother. he just never understood exactly how much.)
