That Weird Outsiders girl (Dallas Winston fanfic)

Chapter 11-Johnny is in the Hospital

When we arrived at the Curtis brothers house we all sat down, a few people had to sit on the floor and I sat on Dally's lap.

Although I was very tired, I barely slept, my mind too filled with worry for Johnny. In the morning Ann, Sodapop, Steve and Darry all had to go to work, and Ponyboy and Two-bit had to go to school. Everyone had left except for Dally, Jasmine, and I.

Dally eventually spoke up and said with a cold tone "both of you stay here, me and Tim Shepherd have some business to take care of." I immediately knew what he was planning, he wanted to get revenge on Bob and Randy for beating up Johnny.

Before Dally went out the door I said "wait, let me come, I can help." He said "No, you getting yourself put in the hospital too isn't gonna help me." And before I could respond, Dally had already walked out the door. Me and Jasmine were the only ones left in the house.

Jasmine then said "come on, let's go see Johnny." I said "Jasmine, you know we're not supposed to walk alone, or we'll get jumped by the Socs." Her eyes had a pleading look, as if she was on the verge of tears. Jasmine then said "please Lizzy, we don't know if Johnny's going to make it, and I really like him." I nodded in understanding, I would want her to come with me if our positions were switched, if it had been Dally in the hospital instead of Johnny.

We walked out of the house and headed towards the hospital, Jasmine was starting to break down as we were walking, a few tears started to slip from her eyes and I heard her start to quietly sob, I tried to calm her down.

Once we made it to the hospital we went to the nurse and she led us to Johnny's room, he didn't seem to be doing much better, he still looked like he had been though hell. I saw Jasmine, she had a sad and worried look on her face, the tears in her eyes were starting to fall again.

I walked over to Johnny and said in the calmest voice I could muster "Hi Johnny, are you feeling any better." He said in a whisper "no Lizzy, I'm scared, I don't wanna die now, 16 years ain't long enough, it just ain't long enough." I felt tears starting to slip from my cheeks to as I said "Johnny, don't talk like that, you're gonna be alright, you just gotta be alright."

After I said this a nurse walked in and said "Johnny, your mother is here to see you." Johnny said in the same whisper "I don't want to see her." The nurse said "sweety, I said your mother is here to see you." Johnny got a little louder and said "I said I don't want to see her, she'll just talk about all the trouble I've caused her-". Johnny then turned pale and passed out. The nurse turned to Jasmine and I and said "you girls have to leave." The nurse rushed us out of the room so she could treat Johnny.

Jasmine and I pulled each other into a hug, and we cried, she was worried about Johnny, and I was worried about what would happen to Dally if Johnny died. We stood there for a while, just crying.

After a while Ann and Sodapop's shift ended, I saw them walk into the hospital, when they saw Jasmine and I they walked over to us. Sodapop asked "did something happen to Johnny." I shook my head. Sodapop then asked "so why are you both crying?" I said "Johnny seems to be getting worse, I don't think he's going to make it." Sodapop and Ann both gave us worried looks, they were also worried about Johnny.

A few hours later Dally entered the hospital, he pulled me into hug, but then said "what were you thinking?! Walking alone, not telling me where you were going! I thought something happened to you!" I said "we just wanted to come see Johnny." He sighed in annoyance and said "you should have waited for me and we could've come together."

I noticed Dally's knuckles were bleeding, and he had a few cuts, he must have gotten revenge on the Socs.

One of the nurses walked up to us with a sad and apoplectic expression. The nurse said in a quiet and sad voice "You all may go see Johnny Cade, he only has a few more minutes." I felt a sinking feeling in my gut. I saw Jasmine, who was next to me burst out into tears. I then looked at Dally, whose usual cold look in his eyes, was replaced by pain and sadness.

We all walked into Johnny's room. Johnny coughed and then said "I'm not afraid anymore, it's okay." Dally then walked over to the bed, he was on the verge of breaking down. Dally said "you're gonna be alright, you're gonna make it." Johnny shook his head and motioned for Ponyboy to come over to the bed.

Ponyboy walked over to Johnny. Johnny said to Ponyboy "stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold." Those were Johnny's last words. Johnny's face went pale as his life drained from him.

Everyone was crying now, Dally punched the wall. He was starting to walk down the hall. I grabbed his arm to try to stop him from leaving, but he just shook me off. As he was walking away I noticed the unloaded gun he was carrying with him.

I had a bad feeling about this, I knew what he was planning and I knew I was going to stop him. I ran out the hospital doors. I ran to the lot where Dally had died in the book. I was going to stop him. I stood there out of breath, waiting for him to arrive.
