“Hey.” u smile, turning your head to kiss him.
“Miss me?” Ponyboy asks.
“Of course. I haven’t seen u in awhile.”
“I know. I just don’t want your mom and dad to get suspicious, u going to the wrong side of the tracks and all.” He mutters, just holding you.
“I know.” u mutter. “I wish it didn’t have to be this way.”
“Don’t u think I do too?” He says, holding u a bit tighter.
“I know u do.” u whisper.
“I don’t know what I’d do without you. I regret everything that happened when I first walked out. I thought it’d be better for both of us. But I was wrong.” He mumbled into your shoulder.
“I can’t wait till I’m 18. They won’t be able to tell me what to do. And I can have you.”
“And you’ll be mine.” He smiles.
“Love me forever?”
“And always.”
