Ponyboy cried the hardest out of all the brothers the night his parents died. Not the, "oh my eyes are just watering" type of crying, but the uncontrollable, full body sobs type of crying.
He ended up crying so hard that he threw up everywhere, including all over himself.
Darry brought him into the bathroom to help him take a bath. He helped Pony take his shirt off and ended throwing it away out of pure exhaustion. Pony was too distraught to realize at the time.
The next morning he realized what Darry had done. Darry had thrown away the last shirt he ever hugged his parents in.
