Wait What?!?! You're a Winston???

My life is over now you're gone

Chapter 15

(Please watch the video at the top and read the quotes. Make sure to turn your volume up and try not to cry)

Soda's POV

As Darry told Francesca what had happened I saw all the happiness and colour drain from her face. This broke my heart but the next thing I knew she was laying on the ground unconscious.

Johnny was one of her best friends since she moved here, also Dally. Dally is her only family that's left. She won't be able to go on without him, it's going to taunt her for the rest of her life. She will be the only Winston left.

Francesca's POV

"Johnny was shot during a gang shooting. He didn't make it Francesca, neither did Danny" Darry told me. I started to get flashbacks from all the memories we shared. First Xavier, now Danny and Johnny. What has my life come to.

Once the flashbacks stopped, I could see the image replay in my mind of what Dallas did literally half an hour ago. Dallas too, I'm going to be the only Winston left. I took one look at Soda to tell him I'm ok before I collapsed and everything went black.

Dally's POV (bet you wasn't expecting that)

I couldn't take it anymore. I was going to blow at some point. I had to tell Frankie I loved her before I sliced my throat enough to loose a lot of blood, I nearly cut through my veins but she couldn't bare it and too my blade. It was either me run or take it out on one of the gang.

I went to do what I do best. I walked inside a shop and started to rip up magazines that reminded me of Johnny. I then ran to Johnny's old house and beat up his old folks, the last thing I heard was sirens and than Darry, I'm sure he was crying, takes a lot for him to show emotions.

I couldn't see anything, I couldn't feel my body. Everything went flat.

Darry's POV

It was moments after I had put Frankie to bed I heard sirens and went outside to see what was happening. I had to shout for Soda, Steve, Two and Pony before we all ran down the road to where Dal had been circled by police.

Seconds later we hear a few gun shots and Dallas was down, bleeding out. Pony passed out after seeing all the blood.

"NOOO HES JUST A KID" I screamed. I could no longer hold back the tears. First Johnny and Danny. Now Dallas, I had already lost ma and pa, now the rest of the family are starting to fall apart. I can't imagine what Francesca is feeling like right now.

Francesca's POV

I woke up to the sound of guns firing. My gut was telling me to go see. I took one look past where the gang was standing as I just froze. I was stood about 10feet behind the guys.

The frozen, stone, corpse of my brother was laying on the ground surrounded by his own blood. This was the end of the Winston family, there's only me left. I felt my heart shatter and my breathing grew faster. I tried to calm it down but Steve must have heard me.

He started to walk over to me, he had tears running down his cheeks, Steve is also one of my best friends, he's Soda's best friend and always has been. I held out my hand to tell him not to come any closer, I didn't want to hurt him.

I fell to my knees and curled into a little ball before I started sobbing really loudly, this caused all the gang to turn around and look at me. I didn't care anymore. It had now sunken in.

I no longer have Danny, Johnny or Dallas.

They're all gone from me. I can't take this anymore, I can't live life like I used to. I don't want to live without my brother, singing songs when we first get up in the morning. Waking up and running down the stairs to see him waiting for me. I can no longer be the one to bring out his soft side. I can't do anything I always wished to do. He won't see me get married, have children, grow old. I won't be able to have him by my side anymore whilst I'm sick and need taking care of. I won't be by his side when he's old and sick. I won't hear his last words telling me he loved me. I won't get to do half of the things we dreamed of doing together.

My heart had shattered into a million pieces and no one could bandage this back up, not even Soda. It's a great that will never be healed, it's a brother who'll never come back, it's friends who I'll never see again. I wish I wasn't here. It should have been me laying there in a pool of my own blood, Dallas should be out there living life to it's fullest. He should be out partying, having fun like 17 year olds normally do. Not being tortured by Socs, in jail, and definitely not dead.

That word it always haunted me. DEATH, DEAD. I can't help but wonder what it'd be like if I wasn't here and Dal was. Would he be in the same boat I am in right now? Would he still be living life? Would he miss me everyday if his life? Who'll ever know?  Because now there's no going back, no one will be able to replace him.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I knew it was Soda but I just pushed him away, stood up and walked away. I had to go back to mine and Dallas's house. Before I walked away I made sure I gave my brothers corpse the longest, tightest hug ever, I then planted a kiss on his forehead, took his wallet and blade, then left.

I got to the house and went straight to Dally's room. I hadn't been in here, ever. His room was his private space. He had pictures of me and him, me and my friends, him and the gang, all of us. All around his room. A few tears rolled down my cheek but the memories brought a smile to my face.

I saw one picture that stood out from the rest of them though. It was placed on his night stand exactly where my copy is in my room. There stood a picture of my nana, Dallas and me when we were younger and my nana was still alive. I held the picture as tight as I could and laid down on the bed, it smelled just like Dally. I stood drifted off into a deep sleep.

Hey again everyone.

I'm so sorry for this chapter. I had to have some drama in the story somewhere, I'll just let you know it gets worse from here. I bet you're thinking how does it get worse than Johnny and Dally dying, but next you'll be reading about how Francesca's life ends up without her big brother and best friends by her side.

She will push Soda away and try to be independent. Let's just say it doesn't exactly go how you would want life to be like. Stay tuned for next chapter.

Hope you liked this chapter and didn't cry. I mean I cried at the quotes at the start with the song never mind the rest of the story.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Overall this chapter was 1305 words long, not including the outro. Make sure to vote and comment what you thought of this chapter.

Thank you for reading ~
