Fics like sail us to the moon

“I think he’s dead. I really think he's dead.” The bomb in his heart explodes. “What?” Darry exclaims, his grip on the telephone growing so tight he’s worried he might shatter the plastic. “Pony, who’s dead?” “He was coming at me, Darry, and I don’t know--” “Kiddo, you have to calm down. Who's dead?” There’s a heavy pause. “I don't know. I don’t know, I don’t know.” Pony trails off with a shuddering exhale and another sniffle. This does nothing to help the situation at hand. “Are you hurt?” “Busted my lip. I think I’m okay,” he replies, his voice more calm but still shaken. “Darry, he had a gun.” “Ponyboy! Next time, lead with that!” Darry roars, his eyes so wide he wonders if they’re falling out of his head. The headlights of their Ford light the living room momentarily, and Darry swallows hard. “Your brother just pulled in. Don’t move, you hear me?” ~ or the one where ponyboy gets jumped afterschool, darry ponders his faith in something, their truck breaks down, and ponyboy may or may not have gotten shot. by accident, of course.
