Staring At The Moon (Johnnyboy)

~Of Course, Johnny Cade~

<Ponyboy Curtis' P.O.V.>

I ran to Dally's house, I knew he was up, the lights in his house were on. I rushed to his door and banged on the door repeatedly until he answered.

"Pony, What are you doin, man?" Dally looked at me with a kind of pissed look, probably because I was banging on the door. "I-I...Umm..Darry...C-Can I talk to you, Dally?" I stuttered.
"Yeah, Johnny's Here-" He put his hand on my cheek "What Happened to you, man..?" Oh I forgot a piece of glass hit my face. "D-Darry..." I looked to the ground and sniffled a little. "Oh.." He took his hand off my face and pulled me inside. "Hi, Pony, What Happened?" Johnny asked. "Nothin..." I mumbled. I didn't want to upset Johnny, so I kinda just acted like he wasn't there...I dreamed that none of this even happened...and I believed it...but I didn't..I was lying to myself...And I didn't believe it...

Dally took me to the bathroom. He Cleaned up my Face and my leg. I rubbed my back, It was uncomfortable...it felt like a stinging, It wasn't pleasant. "Turn around and lift up your Shirt" Dally said, he could see how uncomfortable I was. "Jesus Christ, kid, did Darry break the fuckin' bottle on your back?" He laughed a little. Oh yeah...Darry pushed me into the glass...I Could see Johnny, from the corner of my eye, Looking at my back from outside the bathroom. He Looked up at my eyes, He knew I saw him, I Smiled a little at him. He smiled back.

Dally finally finished. I put my shirt Down And hugged him. "Thanks, Dally" He hugged me back "No Problem, man" I Got off him and looked at Johnny.

Johnny looked away with a sigh, he was disappointed in himself. I went behind him and Hugged him. He turned his head and looked down at me. He Put one of His hands On My Arm.

"Sorry, Johnny..."
"For..?"
I let go of him and looked to the ground.
"Pony, You didn't do anythin'...I just jumped a little, and I got overwhelmed..."
I was still looking to the ground.
"Do you wanna try again sometime soon?"
I looked back up and looked him in the eyes. He smiled and Blushed. I did the same.

"Of Course, Johnny Cade..."
