The Outsiders Imagines/Preferences

You are my sunshine (Johnny)

April's p.o.v

I felt the hard pavement slap my feet as i started to feel disy from the dehidration. i had been crying for hours and running for a while too. my dad kicked me out tonight. 

(flashback to one hour ago)

"YoU WhAt?!?!" My dad screemed as i told him why i was home past curfew.

"i was with Sodapop and Steve when i lost track of time! its not that big a deal!" i cautiously whispered to my raging dad. i could see the anger streaming through his pours and i faintly smelled beer through his breath. 

I felt hot tears blurring my vision, but i forced myself to keep it in. 

"Get out if my house." my dad whispered loud enough so i could here, but quiet enough that my steppmom couldn't from the kitchen. 

"Don't do this! im all you got left now. youre all i have!" i said feeling myself start to sob. i had to face the facts and run. 

"you heard me!!" my dad picked up his beer bottle and through it to the wall next to me. his intention was to hit me but the alcohol stopped him.
"I hate you!!"
All I could do was run.
(End of flashback)

The only place I could think to go was the lot. The Curtis' were probably all asleep and Dally is partying at Bucks. I just can't deal with another drunk person.

I sunk to the pavement, slumping on the side of my favorite fountain. I like to come read and watch sunsets with Pony after school here.
Now there were no books for me to read, no sunsets to watch, no laughter to be heard, just hot tears streaming down my face.
"April?" I turned around startled to find a shivering Johnny looking down at me.
"Oh... Hi Johnny. " I said relieved
"what's wrong? why are you crying??"
Johnny was always the most protective of me out of the gang, I was still close to all of them, but Johnny and I had a special connection.
You could say I had a little crush on him.
"How long have you been out here?" I asked after telling him what happened with my dad.
"Well, my parents had a fight about an hour ago and I ran away, so like two hours. "
"You look freezing!"
"you ain't a woofin" he said in a Ponyboy kind of voice.
"Anyway, thanks for listening to my sob story." I told Johnny in a tired voice.
"I enjoy talking to you and I get happy being able too make you happy." He could be so romantic and cute when he wanted to be.
"Look April... I've been meaning to... Uh... Well what I want to say is..." He looked as pale and nervous as if he had been jumped by Socs an hour ago.
"Johnny... I kinda like you. Not just as a friend." I thought I'd make  things easier for him.
"Really?? Will you maybe... be my girl?"
"I thought you'd never ask!"
We sat looking at the stars all night talking about our home lives and our parents.
In the same night, my life changes forever in a good and bad way!
Johnny was like the song "you are my sunshine." He makes me happy when skies are gray. He'll never know how much I love him. Please don't take my sunshine away.

A/N: this was kinda dramatic and crazy, but I think it wasn't too bad, it was mostly crap, but not all bad. I take requests and like feedback, let's just keep things civil. Thanks for reading.
Love ya 😘❤👟
Stay tough! 😉
