***Bailey's POV***

Johnny hugged me really tight. I tried to hug back, but his grip was so strong I could barely breathe.

"Johnny, please let go," I stutter out breathlessly. He pulls away immediately and I collapse onto the ground, trying to regain some oxygen. Dally helps me up and we head back to the car. 

Dally talks with the boys about eating and they all act like they haven't eaten in weeks. It's honestly embarrassing.

Ponyboy orders 3 BBQ sandwiches and large fries.

Johnny gets 2 BBQ sandwiches, 1 burger, and large fries.

Dally gets a burger, 1 BBQ sandwich, and 2 large fries.

I get a kid's grilled cheese.

They stuff their faces as we drive back. I sit in the back and catch up with Johnny while Ponyboy and Dally talk about stupid stuff up front.

When we get back to the church, the last thing I expected to happen has happened.

It's on fire.

Oh my god.

Johnny gets out and runs with Ponyboy inside.

No...

I have to go too.

This is my dream. My nightmare that's haunted me for months.

And I can do something about it this time.

I enter the church and see Johnny in a corner, bending over something. I go over and see a girl that looks about my age.

"What are you doing in here, you're going to get hurt!" Johnny shouts.

She coughs hoarsely and points deeper into the church. "My brother, he's in there!"

"I'll get him!" Johnny says and runs. I help the girl up and get her out of the church.

"Where's Pony and Johnny?" Dally says worriedly.

I shrug and point to the church.

I rush the girl further away from the church so she can clear some of the smoke from her lungs.

"Who are you?" I ask the girl calmly as I sit with her in the car.

"My name is Victoria Jameson," she says quietly. I smile reassuringly.

"My name is Bailey Cade, and I'm 16."

"I'm 15," Victoria says. "Wait, Cade as in Johnny Cade?"

"Yeah, he's my twin brother."

She smiles super big and I give her kind of a weird look. Maybe they're friends?

I turn back around and see someone suspiciously running away from the church. I get out of the car and run towards the person. Victoria follows.

I run faster and approach the person quietly. They're wearing a mask. I tackle them and they seem surprised. I rip the mask off. My jaw falls.

Andrew.

He smiles evilly and uses my shock to take my wrists. He ties me and Victoria to the side of the church.

"I fooled you so bad!" He laughs again.

"What do you mean?" I ask. Part of me is completely heartbroken and the other half is furious.

"You thought I was a greaser. Everyone did. Now I'm going to kill off all of your little gang, one by one, Johnny and Ponyboy being first."

"So you're a Soc?" I ask.

My dream.

At least the church hasn't fallen ye-

Never mind.
