PLATONIC JOHNNYBOY

Ponyboy's Pov

It was late, I knew it was. The stars were now far past the spot they were in then when me and Johnny fell asleep. I didn't mean to fall asleep, I swear. We were just talking then he laid his head down on my shoulder asleep. I knew I shouldn't have thought I could just close my eyes and just lay there. It was stupid of me, I know. About 15 minutes ago I woke up to Johnny shaking me.

He kept on saying "shit you have to get home, It's so late. Your brothers are going to kill me." So I started to run back home hoping my brothers were asleep, but I knew Darry probably wasn't. He was probably so mad right now.

I just kept running. It wasn't that hard, I'm the fastest out of the gang. After about 5 more minutes of me running home I made it to my home. The living room light was on. 'Shit' I thought. Well there goes me and Johnny hanging out this weekend.

I softly open the door, the door squeaks pretty loud. Two-bit really needs to stop slamming the door shut.

"Where the hell have ya' been?! If you were out for one more hour I would have called the cops!"

Darry yelled as soon as I stepped into the living room. After he yelled, soda walked in rubbing his eyes.

"Hey, Ponyboy...where have you been?" Soda asked softly, still probably tired.

"I fell asleep in the lot..." I whispered looking at the ground, too scared to look at them. "You what?! Do you know how dangerous that is?! Did you ever think to stop and wonder how worried your brothers would be?! Oh, Wait! You never think! You never use your head!"

Darry yelled standing up standing pretty close to me. I continued to look at the ground, flinching slightly as he walked up closer to me.

"Hey, Dar. he didn't mean to stay out. It was an accident." Soda said sticking up for me. He was still rubbing his eyes.

"No! And you shut up! I'm done with you sticking up for him!" Darry yelled at soda. He never yelled at soda. I immediately looked up, anger clear in my eyes.

"Don't yell at him!" I yelled back not even meaning to. But before I could stop and say sorry I got slapped. I stumbled back falling and I guess I hit the back of my head cause that's the last thing I remember before everything goes black.
