I hid behind a tree within earshot of the conversation. It wasn't time yet. Regardless, my knees seemed to shake. Why?
Oh, right. I was going to have to kill them. Two kids I had friends with almost my whole life. We trusted each other, which made this even more painful.
"This is our territory so y-you better watch it—"
"No, pal, you better watch it!" Randy yelled, shutting the timid Johnny down.
The conversation turned into insults and, when Ponyboy spat at Bob, the Socs came down on the two. I watched as they kicked Johnny to the ground and swarmed around Ponyboy. They dragged him to the nearby fountain and started to drown him. I looked back at Johnny to see he was slowly taking out his switchblade.
I didn't want to kill him first.
I reluctantly walked towards him. Probably hearing my footsteps, he looked up at me and sat up.
"Go help Ponyboy first! Hurry, I'll be fine!" The desperation in his voice hit me like a punch in the gut.
I couldn't help it. I started to cry. "I...I'm sorry. I have to do this...None of you would understand why..."
Realizing what I was doing, he tried to stand up, but I kicked him back down. "Why are you helping them?! Think of the rest of us! What'll happen if Pony dies?!" Johnny screamed.
Saying nothing more, I ended his life as fast and painless as possible.
