I wake up in Soda and Pony's room. I lay there for a second thinking about what Pony told me. I start to sob. I can't lose my brother and my mom. And my dad is in jail for who knows how long. Soda walks in all beat up looking.
"Did you have the rumble without me?" I excalim still sobing.
"Uhm, yes. We just got back. Look Lev, I'm sorry." He says and lays down next to me. He wraps his arms around me.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom amd shower." I say and he lets me go so I can get up.
My shower takes about ten minutes. I get out and start to walk to the living room.
"He couldn't take it! He's gonna blow!" Pony says seriously.
"What's going on?" I ask looking at everyone.
"Johnny, uhm, died. He told me to stay gold, then he just died." Pony says slowly.
A sob escapes my body. I fall to the floor hugging my knee's. The phone rings but I'm not sure who it was because I was sobbing too loud.
I hear Darry say something about Dally and they all run out the door. I get up and follow them. I don't know what's going on. Everythings happening to fast. We end up in the park. I hear a gunshot. Then see a body fall. Then I realize, it was Dally's.
"Dally!" I scream at the top of my lungs, "Stop! He's just a kid! Leave him alone! Dallas!"
More gunshots go off. Dally comes crawing towards us.
"Ponyb-" He trys but then falls to the ground.
"You bastards! Look what you did!" I scream at the cops and fall to the ground. I bring my hands to my face and cover it. I hear the boys say something but I can't hear over my sobs again. Someone pulls me toward them and hugs me. I look up to see a red eyed Steve.
"It's okay. Everythings gonna be okay." Steve says in a cooing voice.
"No it's not, damn it! Dally and Johnny are dead! And my brother is half alive! So don't you dare tell me it's gonna be okay." I say coldly, "I need to leave. I need to be by myself." I make myself stand. I run to my house hoping to be unharmed.
I grab the phone and call my aunt Rosie in Texas.
"Hello?" She says.
"Aunt Rosie? It's Levi. Can I come live with you?" I sob into the phone
"Sure. When will you be here?" She asks.
"Tomarrow." I say.
I tell her everything that happened and then hang up. I walk to my bathroom and look at my reflection. My face is red and puffy. I sigh and walk to my room to sleep. I have to be at the train station at 12:37 but I have to say goodbye and get ready. I don't know if I can say goodbye to the people I love.
