Fics like the sun shines brighter after a storm (on temporary hiatus)

After Ponyboy walks into his friends and brothers talking about how needy he is behind his back, he's determined to never need them again, and devotes his time to studying and anything but talking to them. This goes as about as well as you'd imagine. OR Ponyboy is determined not to be seen as a tag-along so he drowns himself in his work, makes new friends, and works towards his independence to try and fill the hole left in his heart. Meanwhile, the gang tries their best to make it back up to him but wonder if they can ever pull him out of the cloudy haze Ponyboy has fallen head-first into.
