"What's up with Johnny?" I asked Dally as I walked in the house. I had just gotten back from the DX after school, I had gone there with Johnny, Pony, and Two-Bit to go visit Soda and Steve.
"What do you mean, what's up with Johnny?" Dal asked me, confused.
"He never says anything and he acts like he's scared of everything," I explained. I had noticed it more than once since I had officially met them all on Monday, but I hadn't remembered to ask Dally, or he hadn't been home when I got home, till today. Thursday.
"He's been through a lot," Dally said, almost offhandedly like he didn't want to talk about it.
"Like getting the crap beat out of you by your parents and having your brother run out on you?" I asked, half-jokingly cause that's what had happened to me, in a way.
"Sort of," Dally replied.
"Really?" I asked, surprised my sarcastic guess had been right.
"A couple months ago him and Pony got in some trouble. Johnny's parents are always beating him, so he usually stay's at the Curtis's or Two-Bit's, or sometimes overnight in the lot. And one time Pony got home really late, and Darry got mad at him and then Pony and Johnny ended up running away from home. They got jumped by some Socs and Johnny killed one of them, so they ended up hiding out in an abandoned church for a while. In the end, the church burned down and Johnny got thrown in juvie for a while, and Pony got a concussion," Dally finished explaining.
It was silent for a while, and then he added, "Everything turned out okay though, I guess."
I was literally in shock. Johnny couldn't have killed someone, he was way too soft-hearted and quiet to hurt anyone. And Pony having run away- he loved his brothers, anyone could see that, thought I suppose Darry did yell at him a lot, more than Dally yelled at me even.
"Johnny actually killed someone?" I asked, still not believing it.
"None of the rest of us believed it either," Dally said.
"Wow," I said, letting it all sink in.
I didn't know much about the guys besides their names and personalities, but what Dally'd just told me made me wonder what other stuff I didn't know about them. I'd have to ask Pony tomorrow.
