Pony's P.O.V.

"Do you think she'll ever come back?" I ask miserably breaking the silence in the room. All the heads in the gang snaps to me. It's been like this since she walked out of the house three days ago. The gang all sitting her silence the only noise coming from the T.V. and whenever somebody talks everybody just stares. "Do you think Brooke will ever come back?"

"I don't know buddy," Soda sighs loudly. "She was my best friend."

"Well she wouldn't be gone if you didn't slap her!" Dally snaps. Even he's devastated by the lost of Brooklyn.

"Hey it was better me then Darry," Soda jumps in.

"She wouldn't be as hurt if Darry did it!" Dally fires back.

"And why is that?" Soda asks as anger flickers in his eyes.

"Because you were her best friend," he speaks slowly.

"What about you Dally, you weren't so innocent in this either?" Soda snaps back at Dally.

"What the hell did I have to do with this?" Dally asks as he throws his hand in the air.

"Well if you didn't hate her so mu-" Soda starts.

"She hated me first and anyways, I don't hate her we just have some issues," Dally defends.

"Whatever," Soda rolls his eyes. "You still hurt her!"

"GUYS!" Darry yells. They both look over at him along with everybody else in the gang. "Fighting ain't gonna bring her back so will ya both just shut your traps. We all miss her and none of us tried to stop her. It was all of our faults. Now deal with the fact that she's gone."

"It wasn't my fault," Steve mutters. "It was yours."

"What you'd say?" Darry asks.

"Nothing," Steve spits out as he looks at Darry with anger evident in his eyes. This is what it's been like; everybody blaming each other.

"Well maybe if you didn't tease her about her and Johnnycakes then she wouldn't of gotten into a fight with Pony and then she would be here," Darry growls. "You too Two-butt."

"Excuse me?" Two-bit turns around.

"You heard what I said Keith," Darry says through gritted teeth.

"I did nothing to make her leave! NOTHING!" He starts calmly then shouts the last word.

"You all did, I'm the only innocent one," Johnny speaks up for the first time since she left.

The whole gang looks at him with shocked out before Steve yells, "it's mostly your fault. If you didn't hold her hand she'd still be here!"

"We didn't do anything," Johnny whispers.

"Well you made her leave," even Dally is against Johnny. I guess she's the glue that holds us all together.

"No I didn't," he shakes his head.

"Whatever," I roll my eyes. "It was everybody fault. God!"

"Well it was mostly yours and Johnny's," Two-bit huffs.

"NO it wasn't! If Sodapop didn't hit her she'd still be with us," I fire back.

"Well if you two weren't fighting I wouldn't of," he yells at me. He's NEVER yelled at me before.

"Well if Darry didn't come up then you wouldn't of came up," I say placing the blame on Darry now.

"Well if Johnny didn't come home holding her hand then none of this would be happening," Darry speaks loudly.

"Well if Two and Steve weren't teasing her Pony wouldn't of gotten mad," Johnny defends.

"Well if she wasn't holding your hand I wouldn't of," Steve defends.

"Well if Pony wouldn't of been so sensitive and flip it would of been a mute point," Two yells.

"So it's Pony's fault!" The gang yells.

"NO it's not! It's Darry fault. If he hadn't of come upstairs then none of this would of happened!" I yell.

"So it's your fault!" Johnny yells as he points a finger at Darry.

"No!" Darry yells. "It's Soda's fault! I told her to get out, but when she didn't listen Soda grabbed her and slapped then she ran out!"

"So it's Soda's fault!" The gang yells looking at Soda.

"No, it's Dally's fault!" Soda yells. "He's the one who first started hating her!"

"So it's Dally fault!" The gang yells and looks over to him

"No it isn't my fault!" Dally yells. "For once I had nothing to do with it! Brooke went for a walk with Johnny and came back holding hands-"

"So it's Johnny's fault!" The gang yells cutting Dally off.

"Let me finish!" Dally yells. "They came back holding hands. When Steve and Two-bit starting teasing her Pony ran upstairs because he's madly in love-"

"In love?" I ask.

"In love," Dally winks. "She ran after him starting a big fight. When the fight got out of hand Darry went upstairs and kicked her out. When he went to hit her Sodapop got to her first and when she ran out nobody said anything. So it's all of ya'll's fault, not mine!"

"No!" Two-bit yells. "I had nothing to do with her leaving!"

"Yes you did!" Steve yells.

"No more then you did," Two-bit yells back at him.

"It's all your fault Johnny," I yell as Two-bit and Steve continue to fight.

"It ain't my fault! She's my best friend, it's your fault for making it a big deal!" He yells back at me.

"Preposterous!" I yell back at him as Soda and Darry start to fight in the back round along with Steve and Two-bit.

"It's your fault Darry, if I didn't hit her you would of!" Soda yells.

"Well I could of missed! It's your fault for actually hitting her!" Darry fires back angrily.

"I hit her to stop you from hitting her!" Soda yells even though we all know it's a lie.

"You're the one who started picking on her!" Steve yells.

"It ain't my fault it's all yours! You're the one who started it!"I yell at Johnny.

"Well Pony ran upstairs when you said something!" Two-bit points out to Steve in their fight.

"You went up stairs first!" Soda screams.

"Just stop blaming me I went outside to ask her about you!" Johnny growls.

"I'm not the one who slapped her across the face!" Darry yelled his voice booming.

"Well if you would of never started it then I wouldn't of have teased her too!" Steve yells.

"Well you know I liked her we all should of went together!" I growled back at Johnny.

"It don't matter what I did you hit her not me!" Darry's voice was the loudest.

"I was just teasing her it was playful unlike you!" Steve flared his nostrils.

"STOP IT!" Dally yells over everybody.

We all looked at Dally and Two-bit snarled, "why should we? Steve's the reason she left."

"No you're the one who started teasing her first!" Steve fired back.

"No Darry is!" Soda yells.

"I ain't the one who hit her!" Darry growls.

"Well I think it's all Johnny's fault!" I announce.

"It's your fault Ponyboy, you're the one who got into the fight with her!" Johnny snarled.

"It's her fault!" Dally yells. "She's the one who walked out of the house and never came back."

"Well who caused her to walk out and never come back?" Soda asks.

"I don't know who, but it was her choice," Dally reminds us.

We all let out a sigh before Two-bit yells over everything,"well nobody leaves just to leave!"

"True, but we gotta stop blaming ourselves. We all miss her, but it's none of our faults," Dally's voice booms through the house.
