Pony was mad at first when Cherry refused to visit Johnny in the hospital. Why was he mad? Why did he change his mind?

Chapter please?

chapter 8

Ponyboy was initially mad at Cherry until he realized that Cherry's boyfriend, Bob, was dead.

"Why not?" I demanded. It was the least she could do. It was her boyfriend who had caused it all... and then I stopped. Her boyfriend...

Pony was mad first because Johnny was his friend and was also dying, he also knew Cherry was friends with Johnny also so it really offended Ponyboy that she wouldn't visit Johnny at the hospital. He ended up changing his mind after he noticed that Johnny was the one who killed her boyfriend Bob.
