Steve's PoV;;
"Hey, Two Bit. I need to talk to you." I said nervously.
"Sure thing Stevo. What's up?" He asked.
"I...I need your help."
"How so?" He sat up.
I rubbed the back of my neck and chuckled nervously. "I need to think of some old memories."
"Huh?" He looked confused.
I laughed. "Just think of stuff that the gang has done."
"Oh. Remember when we all went to school on the last day and completely trashed the place?"
"That was fun." I laughed. "Remember when we made Ponyboy ride a cow?"
He laughed loudly. "Hell yeah! What about when we all climbed up on the roof, and jumped off at the same time because there was a giant puddle under us?"
Now to put my plan into action.
"That was actually really fun", I laughed. "Remember that time I asked you out?"
I smirked and he looked down with a look of confusion.
"Um....no." He looked up at me. "When was that?"
"Right now."
Ponyboy's PoV
I've been listening to Johnny talk to me about hating life and wanting to give up for the past hour.
If that isn't bad enough, he said that if he lost me he'd kill himself.
And to pile onto that, I can't even do anything to help him because I'm in a fucking coma. How the fuck are you doing?
Basically through out all of this shit, I've had to listen to one of the only people I love go through this alone, I've had to listen to my brothers constantly worry about losing me, and I've had to hear about Dally hitting on Johnny all the time.
Isn't life just a big bowl of happiness?
"So, uh, Dally was flirting with me again. I can't make him stop, and I just want someone to make him stop," he mumbled sadly.
This is why Jesus flooded the earth.
"And that voice came back. Y'know the one I told you about yesterday? It told me that I shouldn't wait for you to wake up; just give up without giving you a chance. It went on for about an hour before slowly going away. It hasn't been back today." He said and squeezed my hand.
I hate that he's going through this. He deserves better in life, he's never hurt anyone, if someone hurts him he finds a way to make it seem like it's his fault just so that they won't feel bad, he's a great person.
And let me tell ya, when I wake up, I'm gonna kill-
"Dallas." Johnny said.
Did he just..?
"He uh, also asked me out." There was a catch in his voice.
Oh I thought he read my mind.
"But I told him no; that I love you, and only you."
If I could smile, I'd be smiling right now.
Suddenly Johnny gasped.
"Ponyboy?" He breathed out.
I didn't quite understand why he asked for me, considering I'm not exactly in the condition to answer him.
"Pony?" He asked again. "Okay I know you can't answer right now, but you did earlier, or I'm going crazy, but that put me in a super good mood so I'm going to hug you,"
