ponyboy curtis

all you could think about was ponyboy, and whether or not he was okay. you ran as fast as you could to the hospital when you found out. you had been told there was a bad accident. really bad. you hadn't seen your boyfriend in days because of what happened that night. no letters, no clue as to where he was, nothing. so, when you heard he was at the local hospital, you rushed to get there. upon walking in, you see ponyboy leaned back in a chair, smoking a cigarette. he was charred pretty badly, and his hair was bleached blonde rather than the greased up brown hair you had been used to. after a moment of you staring at him, he notices you. his face lights up as he stands to run over to you. he immediately wraps his arms around you, and, instinctively, you wrap your own arms around him. you felt his body shakes against yours as you combed your fingers through his hair. "Vera.." he mutters. after some time of being in each other's arms, he whispers, "johnny's hurt badly." you could tell it pained him to say that. he and johnny were close. after you let his words sink in, you bring him into another hug. you can feel him sob into your shoulder.
