Summary
Often, he wonders if it’s the need to fight that outweighs the need to protect when the bait is thrown to him without a care. Wonders if he’s doing it for his siblings or himself. And selfishly, he wishes he could know.
He takes a step back when his step-dad takes one forward, backing close into a corner. He’s still swinging the broken bottle and it’s easy to keep his eyes on that rather than his face.
It’s easier to take a face away from the voice he wishes wasn’t yelling.
He can’t cry even if he wants to. Because that is weak and pathetic and he can’t be that.
(He’s terrified, he doesn’t want to get hurt)
He can’t remember how the fight started, but he knows how it ended.
One second, a bottle is being waved in front of his face about to slash down on his dirty skin, and the next Angela is shouting for Curly and Tim is forced to watch as Curly is shoved into the broken glass on the floor that’s slowly being painted red.
And Curly-
Curly cries.
Or, how the open door policy at the Curtises went into place.

Summary
When he was a child, death fascinated him. It was terrifying, and mysterious, and uncharted, and beautiful. The cowboys riding off into the sunset, the soldiers riding into battle. It filled every inch of the stories he was told. Fairy tales, myths, cowboy ballads-- his father sang him Streets of Laredo as a lullaby every night until he was six. He only stopped because it always made Soda too sad.
He had spent lots of time thinking about death-- anytime he’d look at the stars, it wouldn’t be long until he found himself wondering and yearning for something he couldn’t place. What was beyond them, if anything? What were they made of? Where did they go in the daylight?

a deadly tornado has touched down in tulsa, and all three curtis brothers are scattered across town. they're not getting out of this unscathed. but they'll always come home to each other. even if death seems to follow them wherever they go.

Summary
By ten o’clock the city had the unsettled air of a carnival about to burn down. The gangs kept walking, driving, riding, drawn toward Sand Springs, toward a lot that was supposed to hold peace but already felt like the kind of stage where only bad endings could play out. The heat hadn’t broken yet but everyone could feel it coming.

Summary
“You just don’t know when to shut your fuckin’ mouth,” Trip laughed, dark and dangerous. The kicks to his ribs were bordering on dangerous, and he felt a tightness in his chest that he knew should scare him. His head was foggy and he briefly wondered how many head injuries he could sustain before the damage became permanent. The last thing he said before passing out was aimed at Paul, and it lacked the previous bite as he clung to consciousness, “My Mama would be so disappointed in you.” Ponyboy blacked out before he could see the way Paul hesitated.
