Ch 12 || There Goes Bob

Tays P.O.V

We settled on a few logs and lit a small bonfire that kept us from completely freezing to death, I leaned on a trunk next to Johnny and pony was leaning on the other one, It wasn't exactly comfortable, but hey, it was fun. I picked at the hole in the knee of my jeans made by skating and wearing them too much. Johnny was already asleep next to me, but Ponyboy and I stayed awake on the lookout for any Socs that might be what Ponyboy said 'Cruisin' for a bruisin',' I'm pretty sure it some 60s slang.

"Ponyboy, id hate to ask this but what exactly did Darry do" You can't blame me I was just curious

"The usual I haven't been my homework and other stuff but he uh" I saw a single tear form in his eye, I got up and sat next to him "He blamed me for my parent's death, I just can't take it he blames me forever bad thing that happens in our life" that single tear fell. I wrapped a comforting arm around him; he sighed. I noticed a car circling the lot, a blue mustang

"Oh shit," I said, and Ponyboy looked up and saw it two, Bob Sheldon was after us we both looked at each other and nodded, thinking the same thing "Johnny," I said shaking him awake

"wha-wuts goin' on" he groaned I was about to explain it to him when Bob Sheldon did it for me

"AH LOOK BOYS" his words where slurred and he was stumbling out of his car "WE GOT OURSELVES SOME GREASERS TO TAKE CARE OF"

"Run," I said, practically pulling Johnny off the ground and together we ran as fast as we could. Still, we didn't get very far with the Socs following us It was all a blur I was running then next minute I was being pinned against the wall by Bob Sheldon, Ponyboy being held back and Johnny getting kicked to the ground. Bob had made sure to bring many people with many weapons so I couldn't take them down, I counted around eight or nine. Bob pulled out his blade

"NOW GUYS THIS IS THE GIRL THAT BEAT ME UP, AND NOW IM GOING TO GET REVENGE" he cut off my shirt leaving my top half only in a bra, and he ran the blunt part of his knife along my stitches "They fixed you up good. didn't they greaser?" he smiled, and it made me feel sick

"Can't say the same for you" I retaliated, bad idea, he slammed my head against the wall and probably gave me a slight concussion

"Well," he took a swig out of his flask "You shouldn't have done that" he started to dig his knife into the healing stitches on my stomach. I screamed in pain,

"DONT TOUCH HER" Johnny yelled, but then one of bobs guys kicked him hard in the stomach. Bob was digging deeper and cutting slowly to make me feel the pain, I kicked and squirmed, and the guys who were hurting johnny now came over to me and held my legs down. I closed my eyes still screaming for someone to help and then the pain just stopped, and I dropped to the floor, gripping my stomach in pain. I kept my eyes shut and only opened them when I heard a car driving off, As I slowly opened them I saw the body of Bob Sheldon lying in front of me in a pool of dark liquid, there were two other guys whom i didn't know by name also lying there. They looked like they had the life sucked out of them, I turned to face Johnny who was sitting there quivering holding his switchblade in front of him which was also covered in the dark liquid.

Blood

Ponyboy was staring at Johnny in horror over from the other side of the small area we were in; I realised horrified that Johnny had killed Bob and his friends "Johnny what did you do" my voice shook, and I felt a horrible sensation in the pit of my stomach.

"I-I had to; they were hurtin' you real bad an' i didn't know what else to do" his hand where shaking and felt as though I was going to be sick. I pushed myself up and staggered a few metres before being violently ill in a bush, I wiped my mouth weakly and turned around.
