johnnys pov (oooh)
i knew. i knew i wouldn't make it any longer.
i hoped dally came to see me.
luckily, him and ponyboy came. it was too late.
i was tired. not sleepy.
i could feel death coming for me. ripping my emotions out of my body.
i was able to write a note to pony. i gave him the copy of gone with the wind.
"hey johnny.." dally was gentle. something told me he knew.
"we beat em. we beat the socs" pony was quiet the entire time.
they both looked horrible. beaten up. bruised.
"fightings no good.." i surprised myself. i could just barely talk.
dally took a quivering breath. pony stood silently.
"p..pony.." he leaned in close. this is it. i'm dying.
"stay gold ponyboy, s-stay gold" blackness swept over me.
i had finally passed. free from the pain. free from my parents. free from the secretive relationship between me and dal.
it was worth it.
dallys pov
he sunk into the bed. he died.
tears welled up in my eyes.
"come on johnny, don't die on me" i felt every last bit my heart rip to shreds.
my baby was gone.
for once, tears streamed down my face. reminding me that i somehow, had very little emotion
i would one, have to live without johnny.
or, i'd wind up dead. and be with him
pony was crying. standing on the other side of the bed.
i had already made up my mind
i punched the wall. releasing very little of what anger i have built.
"bastards.." i ran
ran as far as i could go.
my vision blurred. everything was happening so fast.
i pointed a gun. took the money.
i called darry. my voice was shaking.
i ran to the park.
"you'll never take me alive!" i pulled out my gun. unloaded.
yet, they shot me. something told me they were waiting for the day i die.
i felt the bullet. piercing through my skin. ripping its way through.
the guys ran up to me. i crawled over to them.
"pony.." was all i could manage to get out. i felt weaker and weaker.
i took my last breath. before darkness consumed me.
at least i'm with johnny now.
