carpe diem but if I do one thing outside my comfort zone I WILL cry
steve randle died on a tuesday, his fatherās fist red with his blood. he died in a house he never belonged in, with a man he wished he could hate.
sodapop curtis cried for the whole tuesday, wednesday. then on thursday he was silent, friday he punched darry in the chest over and over to stop the aching in his lungs. saturday he screamed and threw all the plates in the cupboard on the floor, sunday he hugged ponyboy so tight he couldnāt breathe.
it was like life pressed fast forward, until the day of the funeral. on the day of the funeral sodapop curtis drank half a bottle of vodka and chugged as many beers as he could before he threw up. on the day of the funeral he bought as much candy as he could with the pitiful amount he had in his wallet and ate until his sugar crash finally hit. anything to stop that pain in his bones that dragged throughout his body on repeat.
at the funeral he sobbed, fixing steveās hair the way he wouldāve wanted, slipping a dime into his pocket and placing his hand over his heart. he still had a black eye and a busted up lip from his dad, but thatās what made it all the more real.
steve randle died on a tuesday in june, his car sat out in the lot until a thursday in december. it was wrecked by then, mouldy and missing parts- stolen by thieves and starving children. the classic story of the east side.
he died on a tuesday morning and was found dead in the afternoon, bled out over the carpet. staining it for life, the thick smell of pennies filling the air for the rest of eternity.
The Shepard siblings! Thinking of drawing the Curtisās next
Steve: *pulls out of the driveway*
*the car bounces*
Steve: speedbump!
Soda:
Soda: THAT WAS PONYBOY!
Ponyboy whoās not a Mamas boy.
Whoās not a Daddyās boy.
Whoās Darry boy.
Whoās Sodaās boy.
Whoās Steveās boy.
Whoās Two-bits boy.
Who was Dallyās boy.
Who was Johnnyās boy.
Who would always be Darryās baby, ticking him awake, spinning him around after track, nearly crying.
Who was Sodaās Pony, the horse he always wanted, slipping him a Pepsi at the Dx, cuddling, crying with him, lying beside him
Who was Steveās āShitheadā, joking around with him, running over to save him when he was jumped.
Who was Two-bitās kiddo, making sure heās not sick, putting a smile on his face, who used to tell his mama he didnāt need a baby brother ācus he already had one.
Who was Dallyās āmanā, fighting in a way for him, hanging out with him, trying to keep himsafe.
Who was Johnnyās Pone, confiding in him, listening, always there for him.
And Ponyboy who with all of this still, doesnāt t fit in. Wasnāt quite right, would never be. Heās different.
Who hates that so much. Who couldnāt quite articulate how to fix it.
Who couldnāt fix it.
Who thought maybe killing hismelf would fix it, post book.
It didnāt work. Walking out bloodied right into the living room. Numb. Dull. He hadnāt expected Steve to care so much. He hated him.
He refused to leave him alone though. Pony didnāt even feel alive right now. Heās just repeated the same phrase to every question, āIām ok.ā
Even if it was a complete different question.
Why couldnāt he fuck off and go back to the Dx?? He wanted to be alone. Soda was waiting, it was only his lunch break.
He didnāt understand why heād refused to leave him alone. Refused to even leave him alone in a room by himself. Much less the house.
Who pleaded he wasnāt a baby anymore.

Vietnam au but Ponyboy moved into an apartment with Cathy when he was 19, while Soda was off at war (Steve too), but the entire plot of the fanfic is scences of Soda and Steve writing letters or Ponyboy falling in a deep depression since everything seems to have gone to shit. Even if heād gotten his shit togther and had a job he enjoyed, a writer. He was making decent money for it too, and Cathy, trying to enjoy her marriage while the world seemed to erupt into even a little bit, but still chaos, dancing with her husband couldnāt dance away the pain from it.
Anyways it didnāt end wellā¦š¼š¼āā
