❦ Running away was supposed to solve your problems. Instead, it left you alone, exhausted, and hiding in an abandoned lot on the rough side of Tulsa with nowhere else to go. Everything changes the night Johnny Cade and Ponyboy Curtis stumble across you. One act of kindness turns into an unexpected invitation to the Curtis house, where a group of rowdy Greasers quietly decides that nobody is going to leave you to fend for yourself again. Now you’re surrounded by people who refuse to let you face the world alone. Darry keeps a roof over your head, Sodapop makes sure you never lose your smile, Two-Bit fills every room with laughter, Steve slowly lowers his guard, Ponyboy becomes your closest confidant, Johnny understands the parts of you that words can’t explain, and Dally watches over you in his own guarded way. Life in Tulsa is far from easy. The rivalry between the Greasers and the Socs never truly settles, trouble has a habit of finding the people you care about, and your past is never as far behind as you’d like to believe. Even so, somewhere between shared meals, late-night conversations, and people who choose to stand beside you every single day, you begin to discover something you thought you’d never have again. A family.
