    Summary

    The Curtis family has been a broken shard of what they used to be ever since the accident. Darry and Sodapop had stood over three grave markers at the funeral: two caskets holding the crushed bodies of their parents beside an empty nameplate labelled Ponyboy Curtis. It's been four years since he went missing from the scene of the railroad track. The case has been cold for just as long, and nearly everyone in Tulsa has lost hope of seeing the baby Curtis brother's face again.

    His gang has never lost faith, though, and it proves its worth on the Friday afternoon that Ponyboy Curtis, in all his presumed-dead glory, knocks on the front door like he's not allowed to simply walk in.

    Summary

    Ponyboy is not an idiot.

    He knows he is disabled. He knows he can’t do everything everyone else can. Contrary to the belief of Darry, Soda, and the rest of the gang, he does actually care about his body. Pushing it sometimes doesn’t make him ‘irresponsible’ or whatever Darry said last time he was scolding him, it just makes him a little stubborn. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

    Despite all of this, Pony doesn’t want everyone to know that his leg is acting up again. It’s fine. He doesn't need to take a break from track or sit down for every single task. He just needs to walk it off.

    What the gang doesn’t know won’t hurt them.

     

    Or,

    After a run-in with a group of Socs, Ponyboy finds his disability to be flared up. He limps everywhere he goes and takes way too much pain relieving medication. However, he still tries to hide the injury from the rest of the gang. He doesn’t want to worry them like he always does.

    But even he knows that they’ll find out eventually, even if it’s in the worst way possible.
