chapter 20

we waited silently in the waiting room.

"well doc?" Dally asked.

"he's alright, he'll live, he's just beat up pretty bad, he asked foe you three," he told us.

"Thank God he ain't in a coma or somethin'," Dally sighed.

I practically raced there,

Johnny was laying there, his eyes barely open.

"the socs," he said. quietly.

"they came back, and they're causin' all this trouble and, golly,"I whispered.

"Sharlette, how bad do I look?"

"from greaser to greaser, they beat you up good! from girlfriend to boyfriend, you look fine."

he laughed, then winced a little.

"Johnny, kid, you alright?" Dally said sittin' at the end of the bed.

"I'll be fine," he said.

I looked to his eyes, all his worry and sorrow was gone and when he said those words his eyes were reassurin' he WOULD be okay.

he looked at me and smiled.

they had punched his eye and busted his lip, kicked his head too.

"ya sure you see okay, kid?" Pony asked

"yeah, I'm fine, it just hurts sometimes," he said.

after about 6 Dally and Pony left, I stayed with Johnny overnight, and I would day after day till he was out.

I woke up in the middle of the night, I looked at a sleeping Johnny.

he had a small smile on his face.

I climbed next to him and snuggled his chest lightly.

"Huh what?" Johnny woke up.

"sorry, I had a nightmare and I, I felt like cuddling I didn't mean to wake you. I'll-" he kissed me.

"You talk to much," he whispered.

"sweet way of tellin' me to shut up," I told him

and he held me closer,

"I ain't hurtin' you?" I asked,

"they didn't get my ribs," he said,

"Alright," I cuddled him and he fell back asleep.

"I love you, Johnny Cade," I whispered in his ear and fell asleep.
