Hearts and Halos // Chapter Two

/ Ponyboy's Point Of View //

"I'm going out Darry, I'll be back soon," I called out before closing the door behind me and leaving. "Not like you'd care anyway," I mumbled under my breath.

There was a slight breeze out, making it a bit colder than it really should be. I didn't mind though, I liked the cold feeling on my skin. I knew exactly where I was going, I was going to visit my best friend. . . We lost him a few weeks ago but it seems that everyone has  gotten over it but me. I'm probably the only one who still thinks about him.

It was my fault he died, all my fault and I can't get him back. He died in a church fire and I couldn't save him, there was nothing I could have done. I finally made it to his grave, kneeling next to it with a small smile. It's sad to think that I talk to myself here, wondering if he ever could hear me. Sometimes I think he can and in a way that makes me feel better about everything. 

Every time I come here, my emotions cut loose and I lose control of myself. I cry every time I'm here because I miss him so much. When I told the gang they I loved him, they thought it was a phase, they I was just depressed without him. I am depressed without him but I really did love him more than a friend. The gang didn't understand that, they don't understand my mind like I do. . .

I finally sat down by it, leaning against it. This was like my safe space where I could just vent out everything. My eyes teared up and I lost it, it hurt to know that Johnny wasn't here anymore, I missed him. Him and I used to do everything together, he'd walk with me to the library or to the movies and watch them with me. He looked so cute watching movies, his eyes lit up when he enjoyed seeing it.

"I-i miss you so much. . . It's hard being down here without you, I miss my best friend. . .," I cried out quietly. "I-i want you to come back Johnny. . . I-i'm alone now and I can't take it. . . Johnny, what I wouldn't do to get you back. . ."

I thought I heard someone say something so I turned my head quickly, no one was there. I turned back to the grave and sighed softly. I heard a branch snap  and I turned my head quickly.

"W-who's there," I called out. No one answered but I can hear something. "C-come out," I said, my voice growing quieter.
