Johnny Cade x Reader

The End

That was the last time I saw Johnny in the hospital...

It was too much to handle. Most of the time he was unconscious and if he wasn't Darry was too busy to take me to him. I would have gladly just went and visited him myself but the hospital was very far away and Darry didn't like me going out on my own even if Ponyboy was with me.

"I'm just saying (Y/N), it's not a good idea for you to visit him in his condition. It would hurt ya too much," Pony said to me, right to my face. 

"So then what? Huh Pony!? What are we suppose to do? Just not see him until he's out of the hospital?? We need to visit him as much as we can just in case he doesn't make it! He's probably so lonely in there!" I started to tear up a bit. I quickly wiped my eyes off. I didn't want Ponyboy to see me cry. Not this time.

He placed a hand on my shoulder, "I'm sorry (Y/N), but we've been keeping something from you..." Pony was the one tearing up this time.

"What do you mean you've been keeping something from me?? Shouldn't I be one of the first to know if something were to happen to Johnny?!" I shook my head furiously and stepped back away from Pony.

"Look (Y/N)... We weren't sure how to break  this to you," Ponyboy looked away and crossed his arms.

"Break what to me Pony!? God damn! This is killing me! What have you been hiding from me??" I screamed.

Ponyboy burst out in tears.

"Is Johnny... Dead?" I whispered and my heart completely sunk into the depths of my stomach...

"It was early this morning. He just... He just stopped breathing..." Pony shivered at the thought of it all.

"Wh-what?" I just wanted to throw up! "This is exactly why I wanted to go and fucking visit him!!!"

"He's the one who wanted you to stay home. Darry pretended to be busy to avoid taking you there," Pony's breath was shaking and he was holding back some tears.

"Why wouldn't Johnny want me to visit him though!?" I was so confused. Was Johnny just delusional after he broke his back?

"He saw how hard it was for you to see him that time and he just didn't want you to go through that again because he only got worse!" Ponyboy started to break down. 

"I'm sorry for yelling Pony... I realize this is hard for you too..." I went up to Ponyboy and hugged him tightly.

"It's okay... The funeral is Wednesday." He said.

After that we just kind of sat there crying.

How did things come to this?...

Author's Note:

Yes, I'm sure that is the ending you all wanted... I'm sorry that I am the ultimate evil. It was either that or my alternate ending was that you just woke up from a dream XD But I thought that was a little cliche... Kind of? I think so? Yes... Anyway, if anyone wants, I can write an epilogue about the funeral. If not, that's fine too! I just didn't want to force too many feels down your throats at one time XD Because I'm mean... But not THAT mean ;-; I do apologize for not updating for like a year... I just wasn't getting on WattPad very much actually. Not only that, but I forgot that like all my stories existed... I don't want to keep my stories ongoing if I'm not willing to update them regularly .-. So that's why I needed to end it. Knowing me however, I'll probably make more stories, update like three chapters a day, then stop for like a year... Because there is like no in between for me XD
