dawn goes down to day

This confession was simply way too long to post it like the rest, it's about twice the length and maybe more.

Cherry knew that it had been Bob who nearly killed Johnny four months prior to the book starting, yet she never told Ponyboy at all. Not only that, but that means she knew what Bob and Randy were like when drunk. Yet, she and Marcia still talked to Johnny and Pony after Dally left, which logically after Pony tells her the story of Johnny being jump near death, should have been her cue to think, ‘I need to not talk to him and Johnny. I know what Bob is like drunk.’ But nope, she still talks to Johnny and Pony, acting all sweet and praising them. What even makes her horrible to me is that her and Marcia were about Dally and Two-Bit. They were, as johnnycakewasgolden pointed out in one of her posts, technically on a date with Bob and Randy (yeah, they left), their boyfriends of some time. Yet, you have Cherry telling Pony, WHILE EVERYTHING ELSE IS SILENT MEANING BOB COULD PROBABLY HEAR HER TELL PONY THIS, that if she saw Dally she would fall for him and that Marcia gave Two-Bit her number.
