The next thing Pony remembers is waking up at home.
Ponyboy collapses at the lot, as his brothers and gang rush to help him. He can barely run to the lot and his vision is shifting in and out of focus. He is gunned down as his gang watches, knowing that Dally always gets what he wants and this time Dally wants to be dead.Īs these events are happening, Pony's condition is worsening. Dally wants to die, and he gets his wish. Pony knows that it isn't loaded and he realizes that Dally knows that, but the police don't. As Dally stands in a circle of light under a street lamp, he pulls out his gun. Everyone reaches the lot at the same time: Dally, the gang, and the police. They race to the lot to the accompaniment of sirens wailing in the streets. The gang members agree to meet at the vacant lot. He says that he has just robbed a grocery store and he needs someplace to hide out. The phone rings, and the call is from Dally. Upon arriving home, Pony tells the rest of the gang about Johnny's death and everyone is silent. He leaves the hospital and roams the streets until a stranger picks him up and drives him home. Pony is in denial about Johnny's death, and keeps repeating that he isn't dead. After Johnny's death and Dally's departure, Ponyboy wanders through the hospital's halls in a daze.
