Stay Gold Ponyboy Novels & Stories

He’d never seen her so upset. He was afraid of alienating her. She might cut him off. “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that, Sonny Boy.” Sonny Boy became sweet again. “You’re someone very special, Dink. It’s time you realized that about yourself.” “I’m still a week away from payday.” “Oh, payday, smayday, never let payday get in your way. Sonny Boy’s always got a way to pay.” “Listen, suppose I do some cheap shit now and get back to the pure shit next month?”

Leo had never spent a day in his life in a ghetto, yet he wore a shirt with thug life, pants belted at his knees, and enough gold chains around his neck to give him neck strain. His scrawny fifteen-year-old ass murdered a song about how hard it was survive when bullets rained down like rain and drugs and rapping were the only way to pay. Grayson laughed himself to tears that night and Amberleigh peed herself a little by the force of her cackling. At least Leo could laugh about it now, though he got butt hurt over it back in the day apparently.

He roared, "Stop wasting time! It's Bone-Rotting Elixir, and the only thing that can save me is golden juice. Just get me the golden juice, now!" Kaden hesitated, looking stunned. "Golden juice? Are you sure that's the cure, Mr. Golding?" Elon glared at him, his anger boiling over. "Of course, I'm sure! Do you think I'd joke about my own life? Just get me the damn golden juice, and once I'm safe, I'm going to make that little bastard pay for this!" Kaden still did not move, his face filled with hesitation. "Mr. Golding, I'm afraid this poison might be… better left untreated."

He raised his hand, and everyone quieted down, including the music. "That's Apollo. Gold Tooth's right-hand man. The one who gave me this location," Boraz pointed at a young-looking man with spiked purple hair like a rock artiste. I nodded my head, taking note of him. "We go way back, this asshole and I. I remember when all we had was a dream to have this life - the American dream!" he laughed. "We fucking did it!" "Yeah!" Some in the crowd acknowledged. "So, to better days, my friend," Gold Tooth raised a glass. "And to more fuck filled days where you'd cum harder!"

For whatever reason, that made my heart race a little. “Do you admire her?” I asked Ken jokingly. Ken avoided the question and tried to change the topic. “Did Baba boy beat up Jade? I did not want him to beat the boy. The boy is young.” Ken said. “No, I pleaded with him not to.” I told Ken. Ken suddenly lifted up some hay bales to arrange them properly in the store and I could not fail to see how veiny his hands were. That ignited some desire for him and I wished we were alone.

He wore nothing under, leaving just too much for Jake to see. “I'm sorry," Jake said immediately, covering his eyes. “I don't have any change, sorry." Like every other zombied crack addict roaming the street, the man didn't give up. "Come on,” the old man wheezed as he held onto Jake's leg. "I will do anything. I just… I gotta get my fix man. I will suck your dock if I have to–" Jake lifted his leg and kicked the man in his face. His head snapped to the side with a small crack as he fell to the ground, knocked out cold. His chest rose and fell slowly while drool dropped down the side of his mouth.

I never shattered that beautiful illusion, not until the day the high school entrance exam results came out. His so-called friends, who had once gathered around him, listening to his bragging, all received their acceptance letters to high school. They stood together, talking about their future schools and their dreams of college, while he, for the first time, was left far behind by people his own age. At 15, he was beginning to form a sense of self. Only then did he realize that although he had indeed been happy all this time, beneath that happiness was a vast and empty nothing.

Those were hot days in Lovecraft County and on a particularly hot night the golden man, Astro-Star flew past the massive towers and soared over the gargoyles his gaze crossed and their gothic buildings. So when he saw below his huge buildings and dirty streets and dark dumpsters a man and two boys no more than 12 years old walking through the alleys his hearing captured their conversation. - I know you need money... - He said towards the boys. “I also know that you need to help your brothers. - My mother is no longer able to. - It said. - She is sick and my father abandoned me. - Said the biggest of the boys. - Mine is dying and my father can't find a job, he lost an arm in an accident.

"Us, I know that, but-" "-Gold is very stable, as I've said in the past. No matter the shape it's in, it's equally valuable. This chain… is a physical representation of what we have between us- our dynamic and promises in crystalline form, there in the stone. This set together should tell you, so long as yer honest, it doesn't matter if you stumble down a whole flight of steps, I'll have yer back- not that I want you takin' a spill down the steps, please don't do that, haha." Since he'd never been good at 'talks', he had to try to add some comic relief.

“I think Patty got some in her purse upstairs. And I’ll sweeten the pot. I got some eye drops in my locker. You’re eyes are a little bloodshot.” An hour later, they were sitting out on 501 watching for speeders. “Okay, buddy, spill it,” Goldman said as he sat behind the wheel. “Well, I heard about the mechanical bull contest at Garvey’s. I didn’t think it would hurt if I . . . checked it out. I wasn’t going to stay for the orgy,” Williamson began. “I heard about the contest, too. If Patty wasn’t pregnant, I would have tried to convince her to enter. If she won, we would have gotten five hundred smackeroos.”
