Both of them need to smoke, that was the only way that could clam themselves down, but they kept throwing it around the church without realizing what will happen. After they came back they realized there are innocent lives trapped due to what they think they have done, so they rescue the children thinking they were the cause of what happened. It took both of them a lot of courage

At the end of Chapter 1, Ponyboy says “I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.” but before that, he stated that he didn’t care that Darry didn’t love him and that Darry thought Ponyboy was a burden and someone that he could yell at. Ponyboy said that he didn’t care about Darry at all but he often lied to himself. What Ponyboy means is that he does care about Darry but he just can’t accept the fact. However, the reason why he does it could be a variety of factors and reasons. It may be because he is too prideful or arrogant to admit it to himself. Perhaps he is just trying to save himself from the pain of unreciprocated feelings that Darry seems to give out. Maybe Ponyboy is trying to get back at Darry by trying to convince himself
