|| Johnny's POV ||
I anxiously rubbed my sore arm and laid my head against the back of the cushion and closed my eyes. Think of Mel and how she would comfort you, my conscience whispered. But that only made me want to cry harder.
"Hey, Johnnycake," Ponyboy shouted across the lot.
"Hey, Pony, what's going on, man?" I replied, standing from my spot and meeting him.
"I was wondering if you wanted to come over for a while and watch a movie with everyone," he said, lighting a cigarette.
It would be the first movie that we watched all together since Mel passed.
As we were walking, Pony kept gabbing about this test he had comin' up but I wasn't really listening. I was thinking about Mel and how much I wished she was here.
We arrived at the Curtis home and waltzed in, not worried about being late when we heard shouting and a car engine start. Soda came bolting down the stairs frantically, running right past us.
"Soda, what's wrong?" Pony questioned as Soda whipped in and out of the kitchen.
It was when he stopped to regain himself against the doorframe I noticed he was crying.
"Soda, what happened, man?" I whispered.
He took a deep breath and looked us straight in the eyes. "Dallas tried to commit suicide."
