This is for @littlecurtisis and @johnnyboy-cade who wanted another ((happier)) chapter. Sorry it's not as good as planned but 🤷♀️
Ponyboy's PoV
It had been about a month since Johnny gave me that letter and said what I thought would be his last words to me. At the time I didn't know how to react.
After reading over it a few times I finally got up and tried to go after him but I was too late. I had already lost the one I loved. Or so I thought.
One day, when Soda got home from work, he ran up to our room and handed me a letter. I was beyond confused, but also curious. When I opened it I was even more confused when I saw the beginning sentence.
Hey, I know it's been a while, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten you, nor have I stopped loving you.
I know you're probably over me by now. I mean, I'm not that hard to get over. But trust me, I haven't gotten over you. I'm barely even living without you.
I'm sure you're thinking 'where in the world are you?' well, Ponyboy, I'm in a camp. I don't know how to spell it, but it's one of those camps that turn people straight. It's horrible in here Ponyboy. My dad's picking me up next week though. Bu we're not moving back to our old house. We're going somewhere else in Tulsa. I wish I could see you again, maybe I can Tulsa isnt that big. But just remember, I'll always love you even if you don't come looking for me.
Johnny Cade
By the end, I was crying. I thought he had gotten over me, but he hadn't.
The thing that hit me hardest was that he thought I got over him. He thought I wouldn't look for him. But he was wrong.
The week after that I had gone around Tulsa. Now, Tulsa isn't that big, but if you're looking for something and you're walking, it's huge.
I had almost given up, but then I saw it. The dark hair that i loved playing with when it didn't have grease in it, the blue jean jacket I thought I'd never wear again, and the black converse I thought I'd never get to take off of him again when he fell asleep on the couch when we were watching a movie.
I slowly walked up, afraid it wasn't going to be him.
I tapped him on the shoulder and he spun around. He gasped when he saw me.
"Ponyboy? Whatre you doing here?"
"Finding you," I smiled.
He didn't say anything else, but he threw his arms around me and started crying.
"I know it's only been a month and two weeks but I've missed you so much," I cried.
"I've missed you too," he hugged me tighter.
I let go. "Please come home with me,"
He nodded and grabbed my hand and we walked home.
Darry seemed majorly surprised when he saw Johnny, but stayed silent.
Two Bit on the other hand, screeched. "Johnnycakes!! I've missed you so much!"
Johnny giggled. "I've missed you too, Two,"
Two Bit laughed. "Hah! You said 'two' twice!"
He must've been extremely excited to see Johnny, orr extremely drunk because he laughed at everything he saw or heard after Johnny got back.
"Hey, lets go upstairs for a bit. I need to talk to you," Johnny said.
I immediately got nervous due to what happened last time, but nodded.
He grabbed my hand and walked up the stairs. When we got into my room, he plopped down on my bed. "So," he breathed out, and Steve and Soda walked in with a big banner that said 'Will you go to the dance with me?'
