What Incest Does

Chapter 2: It's All Over

Darry is sitting beside Pony's hospital bed, holding his hand, with tears in his eyes.

Pony is dying. He's been in a coma for almost a month now. Not only did he cut himself, he starved himself to.

He's all skin and bones. He weighs under a hundred pounds. All his blood is drained from his features, making him deathly pale. His skin is like ice.

Darry looks at Pony's arms; they have healing scars all over them. He then looks at the deadly scar on Pony's left wrist that's all stitched up and wrapped up in a white bandage. He had cut so deep, he had got three veins.

He is hooked up to a bunch of tubes to give him blood, nutrients, to help him breathe, and for other stuff he needs.

Darry knows Pony is already dead. He's been in a coma for a while now and that isn't a good sign. Even the doctors say he doesn't have a good chance.

Pony is done. He is never going to wake up and that killed Darry.

"I hate you, Ponyboy." Darry says.

He does hate Pony. He hates him for doing this to himself. He hates him for putting him through this. He hates that when he found Pony passed out in the bathroom, in a pool of his own blood, there was a note in his notebook saying:

By the time you read this, I'll be dead. You're probably wondering why I did this to myself, well, it's complicated. I've just been keeping this huge, dark secret for so long, a secret that could hurt everyone. I love Darry and not in a brotherly way, in a way I shouldn't. I'm not normal. I'm sick for loving my brother like that. So, can't you see why I had to do this? I'm so sorry, but all of you would be way better off without a sicko like me.

~Ponyboy Curtis~

"You're stupid." Darry says, refusing to let the stinging tears in his eyes fall.

Darry has always loved his baby brother and that's why he was such a hard ass to him all the time, so he couldn't get close enough to him to try anything.

Sure, it's wrong, abnormal, disgusting, and forbidden in the world. Darry knew all that. It pained him as much as it did Pony, but the difference is Darry didn't give in to the pain, didn't let it eat him up inside like Pony did.

"I love you to. Sure, it wouldn't have been all rainbows and butterflies, it would have been hard, but we could have been together if you really wanted to be."

Darry's eyes burns into Pony's closed eyelids. He hates how Pony has just given up, given in to the pain.

"I've always loved you, I just never thought you could love me back, now I know and you're leaving me … y-you can't just leave, not now … not ever."

Darry gasps as he sees Pony slowly open up his eyes.

"P-P-Pony," Darry asks softly in disbelief.

Pony just stares at him, his face screwed up in pain.

Darry smiles.

"Oh my god, Pony, you're …" He says with hope.

Pony's lip trembles as he opens his mouth to say something, but quickly snaps it shut like it hurt him to speak.

"It's ok, baby, you don't have to say anything. Don't force yourself." Darry says gently.

Darry stood up, let go of Pony's hand, and walked to the door.

"Pony, I'll be back. I just need to tell the doctors –"

"Y-you … s-sho-uld … h-have … j-just … l-let … m-me … d-die." Pony says weakly, his voice raspy.

Darry froze, his whole body stiffening.

That statement sent daggers through his heart and it angered him.

He wants to go over and shake him roughly, smack him across the face for saying something like that to him after he put him through all of this, but he can't, so instead he turns back to his baby brother with unshed tears burning in his ice blue eyes.

"Don't you say that! Don't say that to me!"

It's all over for

For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you
