Chapter 6

I wake up the next morning on the couch of the Curtis house. Memories of the previous night flow through my head.

Johnny really hates me.

What if I never see him again? He's my brother, doesn't he want to see me again? I look around and I see the gang above me. Sodapop and Steve are eating cake, Two Bit is sharpening his blade, Darry is at work, and Dally is no where to be seen.
"What the hell happened to you? You look like you've been crying." says Two Bit.
"I-its nothing. Just a bad dream is all." I tell them groggily. I don't want anyone else to know where they are. I just want to go back to sleep and never wake up.

•Ponyboy's POV• {A/N This is the same morning that Poppy wakes up. Johnny and Ponyboy didn't talk last night}

I wake up on the cold hard ground of the church and I see Johnny making a bologna sandwich.
"Johnny, we need to talk about last night. Why are you mad?" I say to him.
"Are you serious? I walked in on you and my sister making out. That's off limits. She's my sister and I don't want her getting hurt." Johnny says.
"Johnny, we have to talk. What if we don't make it out alive, huh? The last thing you'll ever say to her is to get out and that you never want to see her again." I say with tears at the surfaces of my eyes. "I love Poppy. Y-you don't want to be like your parents."
" I am not like my parents! Don't ever say that! They are sorry excuses for a mother and father, and I'll never be like them to my children. I won't let them go near Audree's parents either!" He says, realizing what he just said.
"You like Audree, dont you?" I say. "So it's fine for you to like Audree but I can't like Poppy? You know I would never hurt her. I would never ever hurt her." I say continuing.
"Yeah... I like Audree. Fine. But if you hurt Poppy, I will hurt you. Deal?" He said.
"Deal."
