Chapter 11, you're safe.

Pony's p.o.v.

I was sitting on the couch with Johnny  on my lap and Dally in the chair across from us. I was kinda worried about Johnny cause he had been unconcious since the soc's beat him up but his breathing was steady so I decided to let him be. I leaned back to go to sleep and as I was dropping off I heard Johnny's soft voice in my ear "Pony? how did I get here? The last thing I remember is getting beat up." " Dally brought you here" I answer him. I move him off my lap now that he's awake so now he's next to me instead. He curls up with his feet on the couch and his head on my shoulder. "Pony I'm sorry." He says sounding like he's about to cry. "Johnny why are you apoligizing?" I ask startled by the tears in his eyes. " I'm so, so sorry" he says again, now openly crying. "Why are you crying Johnnycake?" I ask him, I'm really worried now because Johnny never cries. "I'm scared Pony" His answer only confuses me more, we both knew us being together would be dangerous. I guess I get why he's scared now. I guess I'd be scared too. "You don't need to be scared, you're safe now Johnny I promise." I tell him. "Pony I'm not scared for me, I'm scared for you. What if they beat you up next? I don't want you getting hurt."  " Johnny don't you worry about me, I'll be okay I promise. Now go back to sleep." I tell him. "okay." Is all he says in response before putting his head on my shoulder and closing his eyes, my last thought before I fall asleep is that I will do whatever it takes to protect Johnny, I love him and I'm gonna make sure he's safe.
