After Dally leaves, Johnny doesn't have a ride home, so he walks around aimlessly, trying to convince himself that Johnny isn't dead. He gets a ride home from a young man and when he arrives, he is not in a good state. His friends and family are there, and they are worried, but then they get a call from Dally saying that he is in trouble and the cops are chasing him after he robbed a store. They run to the vacant lot, where he says to meet him, and the cops are close behind. He pulls out a gun that isn't loaded, but the cops shoot because they didn't know. Pony realizes that Dally wanted to die because Johnny, the only person he loved, is dead. Then, Pony really doesn't feel well. He sleeps for 3 days, and was even admitted to the hospital. He had a concussion from the rumble, and hasn't eaten much. Darry and Soda were worried, and they say he asked for them, their parents, and Johnny. Pony is owrried about missing track and school, and then falls back asleep with Soda.
"Is Darry sorry I'm sick?" Pony asks Soda this when he first wakes up. He probably wants to see if darry cares, and Soda tells him that he does. He grew up thinking Darry didn't love him, but only recently did he learn that Darry only wanted the best for him. He cared about Pony maybe more than anyone else in the world. By saying this, it shows that Pony is still unsure of Darry's love for him.
