Summary
Ponyboy has always enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets. It had always been a trait of his to go out onto the rooftop (in secret) and state at the fading orange and yellow.
Well now he's watching it from the rooftop of a well-polished, overly clean building set somewhere in the capital, with a camera looking at him at all times.
He has to do this. Every moment counts. He needs to see his Soda again, his Darry, his Johnny. He will do whatever it takes to make it back to them and to be able to fall back into the safety of their open arms.
Even if it means killing someone. Even if it means going through intense amounts of torture and horror-like scenes.
He will make it back to the gang. To his family. He just has to win the games...
But then he thinks about the scrawny twelve year olds in the arena wjth him. They want to go home tok. They want to be hugged by their Mom again too. They want to walk the streets of their familiar neighborhoods too. They want to be able to talk and laugh with their best friends again as well.
He suddenly feels guilty and scared. He's just fourteen. What is he going to do...?

Summary
Ponyboy just wanted to share something sweet.
A batch of cookies, a song under his breath, a small moment of warmth in the only home he knows.
But one too-casual laugh and a thoughtless comment crush something delicate. And none of them notice what they’ve broken until the silence stretches too long.
Soda misses the humming. Darry can’t stand the quiet.
But Ponyboy? He’s getting really good at pretending it doesn’t matter.Series

Summary
Going back to the money, Ponyboy began to notice something about the way the it was all placed. Some of the bills were neatly folded and stacked while others were crumpled into balls, as though they’d been angrily thrown in at the end of a rough day.
Or a rough argument.
And all too suddenly, it clicked with him. All the vague threats Darry made in the haze of their fights, all of the spat out declarations of moving on and leaving Soda and Ponyboy to fend for themselves, all the extra shifts and longer nights Darry seemed to add without thinking they’d notice…
It wasn’t simple angry threatening. It was a warning. He had a plan.
~
In which Darry hides money from his brothers, and Ponyboy believes he's preparing to cut out for good.
