Soda's P.O.V.

Lucy, she's so hurt, so broken. She barely looks like herself. I can tell she's hurting and it's all my fault. She moved back in after three weeks with Claire, but that's only because Claire's off modeling. I have to watch her everyday. It breaks my heart, more than it already is. I'm also broke, but not as bad as she is. Lucy's once bright, passionate, happy, loving, eyes are now cold and dark. I broke her

Lucy's P.O.V.

I lay in bed with tears streaming down my face. Everything hurts. When a heart breaks it sucks and I've never felt true heart break until now. I miss Sodapop, but since the break-up he's changed. He no longer smiles that reckless smile and his eyes don't burn with happiness. He no longer walks around the house, but he mopes. He's always sad, but he doesn't let anybody see him cry. All I do is cry. He was always happy-go-lucky. I broke him.

I hear the door open and I look up to see Johnny, Dally, and Ponyboy. I wipe away the tears before dullying saying, "hi ya'll."

Dally sits next to me smiling, "hey princess. how ya feelin'?" I give him a death glare and he puts his hands up in defense. "Okay, I'm sorry."

"Yea," I shrug as I roll over. I look around my dull room which was once covered in pictures, but now has nothing on them. I put away all the pictures in a box and put them high up on a shelf in my closet, but I haven't gone in my closet since the break-up. I just wear pajamas all day, there's no point.

"Wanna go to the nightly double with us today Lucy?" Pony offers.

"No!" I snap.

"Sorry," he apologizes.

"Will everybody just stop saying they're sorry?" I yell angrily. "I'm not a child. I know your fucking. You're not sorry for saying that and Soda's not sorry for cheating!"

"Lucy pl-" Johnny starts.

"No just go! Get the hell out of my room and let me wither away in here!" I yell before they leave in silence. Maybe I've gone cold, but as Dallas always says, if you're mean nothing can touch you. I feel pain and anger, but that's it lately. No happiness or love, but today's the day I end it. I end the pain, the suffering, the heartache. I end everything.

Soda's P.O.V.

"OPEN!" I hear somebody yelling and I recognize the voice as Lucy. "OPEN GOD DAMMIT!"

"What?" I mumble tiredly as I stumble down the stairs to see Lucy with a bottle of sleeping pills in her hands as she struggles to open it. "Lucy what the hell do you think you're doing?"

"It won't open!" She cries out and for the first time in my life I don't see Lucy. I see a broken little girl who is in need of saving. The girl she hides under layers of strength. I brought out the broken little girl in Lucy. "Help me please!"

"Lucy no!" I yell as she sobs trying to pull off the cap.

"If you ever loved me you'd help me!" She sobs. "I want to die! I want to die!"

"No Lucy," I yell as I run over to her fighting with her over the bottle of pills until they open spilling all over the floor.

"NO!" She yells as she drops to the floor. "What did you do? Look what you did! I want to die!"

Darry and Pony come rushing down stairs. Darry yells, "what the hell is happening?"

"I want to die! I want to die!" Lucy sobs as she goes to grab some of the pills that fell on the ground. Darry runs downstairs to grab her and hold her back. "I want to die Darry! I want to die! Please let me die!"

"Sodapop go start the truck, Ponyboy call the cops then the gang, Lucy please just stay with me," Darry orders.

Lucy's P.O.V.

I sob in Darry's arms as I repeat, "I want to die! I want to die!"

Dally charges in to see me, but I don't even care. He walks over to me sitting next to with this sad, worried look on his face, "please Lucy. Please."

"I want to die!" I sob as the rest of the gang runs in and they all look at me like I'm crazy, but I don't even care. "I want to die!"

"Lucy," I hear Soda's voice and I look up to him, this is the first time we've spoke since and the only reason we talked is because, I want to die. "Please don't kill yourself, I love you."

"Stop lying to me!" I yell out through my tears as I kick Darry knocking him over. I grab half a handful of pills and pop them all in my mouth.

"LUCY!" The whole gang yells as the world continues to spin.

"I got my wish," I say before the whole world goes black.

Soda's P.O.V.

"I got my wish," Lucy whispers before she blacks out.

"Darry!" I yell as I rush over to her.

Darry comes running as the ambulance shows up. They all come charging in picking up Lucy and pulling her into the ambulance. "What did I do?" I say weakly.

"I'm sorry ya'll had to see that," Darry shakes his head.

How did she get this broken? Is Sodapop that broken? Will they break even more? Is Lucy dead? What happens next? Why did she wish for that? Would she of died without Sodpaop? Will she ever be able to heal her relationship with Sodapop? Will they break even more after this or get closer again? Will they ever be able to forgive each other? Is this the end? What's the gang thinking? What's gonna happen to Sodapop if Lucy dies? What is happening to the gang? Will they be able to work this out? Stay gold. Do it for Johnny!
