I was bored, the sun was setting and I was heading over to the Curtis's to see if Ponyboy wanted to watch the sun set in the lot with me. I had been in the gang for about a year and a half now but it easily could have been longer. I decided the sun was going anywhere for a while and took the long way; which involved passing Johnny Cade's house. I had known Johnny as long as I had known the rest. I was a month older then Ponyboy, so barley 14. Johnny was 16 so two years older then me. I knew he had home troubles but I wasn't sure how bad. Sure me and my mom never got along but she never hit me. It was usually just screaming until one of us left. As soon as I turned on the street I heard screaming and the smell of booze lingered in the air. I heard Johnny's voice and his mother. I never really even saw Johnny mom before.
"You little- GET OUT- you no go--" I caught from the end of the street
I saw Johnny running out the door his mom on his heels, she was hitting him with a broom.
"Stop! Ow!" Johnny let out as he was being hit.
I ran as fast as I ever could toward Johnny, I got in between him and his mom.
"Stop!" I yelled as I put my arms up blocking the punches she was throwing
"Y/N No!" Johnny yelled
I put my arms down for a split second to look at Johnny and his mom hit me. I felt my lip bust open and I spit blood. I was pissed now. I pushed her off me and pulled out my switch.
"LEAVE YOU OLD WITCH! GO TO HELL!" I yelled
She backed up and went in the house not before cursing us both out. I turn and look at Johnny. I could now see the damage she did before I got to him. A black eye, a cut above his eyebrow, and a bruise on his cheek. I closed my switch and put it back in my pocket.
"Johnny," I say as I cup his face in my hands
"No," Johnny said "you shouldn't have done that, your hurt because of me!"
"No Johnny, I'm fine, but your hurt." I say
"I'm alright..." He says
I looked at the ground knowing he wouldn't admit he was hurt.
"I changed my mind, I am hurt, but I will be better if you go to the lot and watch the sunset with me." I say with a grin
Johnny smiles then puts his arm around me. We walked down the street and into the sunset.
