The Scar You Left Behind

Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Jay mountain church

Johnny killed a soc.
I never thought he could kill someone, tonight he proved me wrong.
"You what?" I ask
"I killed him, they was gonna kill Pony, so I killed them"
"Pony man take off the wet clothes before ya freeze, god" Dal said, he talked them through what to do, they were going to jay mountain, and me and Dal was going to get them in a week.
I wasn't completely happy with my brother but I definitely didn't want him in jail so I went with it.
I hugged Johnny and Pony goodbye, and told them to be safe and before I knew it they were gone.
"Dal, what's gonna happen?" I ask him as he gets back in bed
"Well, they're gonna hide out in the church and we'll go get them when the heat dies down" he answers
"Ok, do you think they'll be alright?"
"They'll be fine as long as they follow my plan" he answers
"Ok, I love you, goodnight" I say,
"Goodnight I love you, and don't worry about them Bambie, they'll be fine" he says and I fall asleep, tomorrow's gonna be hell.

I wake up to dal already dressed sitting at the edge of the bed, gripping it hard
"Dal? What's wrong?" I ask
"They got Johnny and Ponyboy in the paper... they already know it's him, yet it always takes fucking months to figure out who killed any greaser, or they give up" he says throwing the paper to the floor
"Damn" I mumble
"Greasers and socs. That's all well all ever be. Classified. " he says
"Hey, it's gonna be ok remember?" I remind him
"Yeah, we gotta go, and don't say anything to Darry or Soda cause they'll try to pry it out of ya, Darry hit Pony last night before Johnny killed the soc" He adds
"Ok, I'll get ready and we'll go" I stand up and get dressed into some black leggings and a pink shirt, with Dal's jean jacket that is oversized on me, but it's comfy, warm and I feel safe in it.
We get into the Curtis' and sit down on the couch
"Have you seen Ponyboy?" Asked Soda
"No why?" Asked Dally
"We got into a fight last night and he took off, he ain't been home since" he answered
"Jeez no sorry Soda ain't seen him" Dal said back
"Darry's awfully upset, he hit Ponyboy last night he's killing himself over it" Soda says, he looks like he ain't gotten no sleep, he musta been out looking for him all night. I hate lying to them.
"Anyways, how are you two?" Soda Asked
"We're all good" I said laying my head into Dals chest
"That's good" Soda nodded
This is gonna be a long week.
