“Hey.” toi smile, turning your head to Kiss him.
“Miss me?” Ponyboy asks.
“Of course. I haven’t seen toi in awhile.”
“I know. I just don’t want your mom and dad to get suspicious, toi going to the wrong side of the tracks and all.” He mutters, just holding you.
“I know.” toi mutter. “I wish it didn’t have to be this way.”
“Don’t toi think I do too?” He says, holding toi a bit tighter.
“I know toi do.” toi 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.”
