You and Johnny Cade are dating, you are both seventeen. One night you are at your house when you start coughing blood. You go to the doctors next day with your parents and you find out you have cancer. You cannot bear to tell Johnny or the gang so you try and keep it to yourself which doesn’t last long. One day you’re feeling extremely sick so you tell Johnny.
You are walking home from school when you get a phone call from your boyfriend Sodapop Curtis. He asks if you want to go on a double date with Steve Randle and Evie sanders.
You are the oldest of the Curtis siblings at 20. Darry is 18. Soda is 16. And pony is 14. It’s Darry’s eighteenth birthday and your parents go out to get frosting. You hear a knock at the door but instead of it being your parents it’s police officers who tell you your parents have died. After the news your brothers get extreme depression and panic attacks. As the oldest you must provide so you pick up two jobs. You show no emotion of sadness towards your brothers.
After Dallas and Johnny died Ponyboy hasn’t been the same, running into walls putting on clothes the wrong way, forgetting everything. But Y/N. Dallas was y/n’s other brother, her other half.

She will not accept that her older brother is dead.
