Johnny
I got out of the hospital and oleh some miracle I can walk. Thought it still sometimes hurts Ponyboy and the rest of the gang understand. Me and pony avoid the park as much as we can and it seems everyone knows our story some of us cinta us for being heroes and saving those kids and say they’d never done that but some others hate us mostly the Socs but that’s not really new though maybe their hatred for Greasers has grown. ceri, cherry avoids me and pony hates it and their relationship doesn’t last very long because of it though I told him it’s fine and I understand. He starts crushing on this girl named Cathy but she has a boyfriend named Bryon he’s alright and pony and me start hanging out with them and her little brother the hippie M&M as everyone calls him. Not much has changed except for the fact we have to watch our backs lebih carefully then before because no one wants another as they call it “Johnny Cade incident.” “ Oh just ingnore the suns of bitches Johnnycake their biting lebih then they can chew with us.” That’s one thing I like about Dally he can be supportive without dropping what he likes to call his Greaser mojo. Ponyboy says “I don’t think that Bryon likes me very much.” “ How could he Ponyboy your crushing on his girl.” He shrugs and he says “ his brother Mark likes me ok.” “ Yea but your not trying to steal his girl.” He smirks and jumps off the kap, hood of the car that Soda and Steve are working on just as some girls pull in and he says “ lets go Johnny.” I think before I would have just kept my mouth shut and gone but I’ve become curious so I ask “ why?” “ Because Tim Shepherds sister has had her eye on me ever since she broke up with Bryon.” “Oh ok.” We walk out and she glares our way and as were walking a we see ceri, cherry who avoids me atau Ponyboy atau the both of us. But as were almost to Ponyboy’s house where I’ve decided to live for now a girl runs into us. Were both so timid I think Ponyboy almost pulled a blade on her. “ Oh sorry” she says looking up for her book at me. She smiles and I see her light blue eyes and staring into my brown eyes and I know their dull in comparison. pony stares at her with a go away look. “ I’m Kim” she says holding her tan hand out. “ I’m Johnny” I say extending my dark dirty hand. She then says “ Johnny…. Where have I heard that name?” “ Probably from those no good rotten Soc’s.” “ Oh no I’m not a Soc heck I hate and avoid them I’m what you’d call a Greaser.” “ Yea in those clothes your not.” “ Oh these” she says tugging at her kemeja tail “ my brother Larry and a guy named Two-bit shoplifted them for me.” “ Our two-bit?” “ Yea I guess oh yea my brother berkata something about anda killing a Soc” she see’s the look on my face and she says “oh no I’m not judging heck I think some of these Soc’s are nice but the others the world would be better off without them.” “ Nicely said” I say. Ponyboy looks down and smirks and like me doesn’t miss it. “ Damn I’ve gone off blabbing again my mom says I should just shut my trap.” “ Na it’s ok” I say making her smile at me. “ Well Johnny and ...” “ Ponyboy.” “ Well Johnny and Ponyboy I’ll see anda around.” She walks past me and Ponyboy chuckles “ Johnnycakes got a girlfriend wait till Dally hears about this.” “ I don’t have a girlfriend and your not gonna tell Dally.” “ Fine fine just don’t tell Soda about Cathy.” “ I wasn’t going to.” “ Gosh I know Johnny I was just teasing.” “ About what” says a voice that is recognizable? “ Dally” I say. Ponyboy hits him in the arm and says “ dude stop doing that I almost pulled a blade on you.” “ Yea yea whatever but what’s this Johnny anda have a girlfriend” he asks messing up my hair. “ No she’s just a girl.” “ Do anda like her?” “ Yea kinda.” “ Does she like you?” “ Maybe I don’t know.” He chuckles and I say “go find a girl for yourself then I will.” “ Ok ok Johnny boy calm down.” “ I was never uncalm.” “ Yea of course not.” “ I wasn’t.” Ponyboy then says “ wanna go see a movie.” “ Yea” I say hoping to distract Dally. We climb under the fence like always and watch the movie.
Dally
Damn I thought to myself I need to get myself a girl Johnny has a kind of girlfriend named Kim and Ponyboy has a crush on a gal named Cathy. How I despise the name Cathy. But anyway I’ve been girl hunting till today when I ran into these two pretty girls. One was tall and about 18 just as the other on except the other girl had to be at least 5ft 3 atau 5ft 4 while this girl was 5ft 7in. “ hey ladies” I said. The tall one giggled and the other one just stared and then berkata “ oh I know anda your Dally atau Dallas um which one?” “ Dally’s fine with me.” “ Oh I’m Kim” she says “ has Johnny told anda about me?” “ Yea.” She smiles and her friend giggles again and I say “ and who is this lovely woman on your right” I say making her chuckle yet again. “ Oh this is Rene” says Kim. “ Well hello Rene I’m Dallas Winston atau Dally at your service” I say ciuman her hand. Kim chuckles under her breath and says “ hey would anda ask Johnny if anda and he would like to go to a movie tomorrow with me and Rene?” “Yea sure he’ll probably go is it ok if our friend pony tag along too?” “ Yea I suppose but he doesn’t like me very much.” “ Huh that’s a change of character its usually me who doesn’t like people.” Rene laughs and says “ I’ll see anda tomorrow Dally.” “ Yes anda will.” They stroll off with Kim bumping her. I run to Pony’s house and say “ anda get a tanggal and be nice to Kim.” “ What’s this all about Dally” Johnny says waking up from a nap on the couch. “ Me and anda got dates tomorrow anda with Kim and me with her friend Rene we just need to find pony here a tanggal and get him to at least be kinda nice to Kim.” “ Really Dally me and Kim and anda and Rene are going to the movies.” “That’s right Johnnycake.” “ I got a tanggal already so I guess we could ayunan by.” “With who?’ “ Well I thought I’d give that slime Angela a try.” “ Tim’s sister” I ask? “ Yea.” “Well Ponyboy if your gonna dump her talk to me so Shepherd don’t pound ya.” “Ok.” I’m excited for the first time since Johnny got out and Johnny is too I don’t know about this but then again I was never careful.

Ponyboy’s Perspective
“Dad?”
“Yeah, Scar?” I say, looking away from the football game I was watching. I was holding Ella, she was 4 months old now.
“How did anda and Mom meet?” The 12 tahun old asked.
“I bet it was an epic cinta story.” Eight tahun old Rhett says sarcastically.
“Was Mommy pretty when anda met her?” Charlie, who was five now, asked.
“The prettiest girl I’d ever seen.” I smiled down at him. “Until Scar and Ella came along. Now I know the three prettiest girls in the world. Anyways, there’s not much to tell. I saw her one day, and I fell in love. I thought she didn’t like me…”
“Nah, I like anda a lot.” (Y/N) grinned from the doorway.
Seventeen.
Seventeen bottles of bir I have drunk in the past 37 minutes.
Seventeen.
I pick up number eighteen, twist the topi off, and pour it down my throat. It’s tasteless.
I lean my head back against the dinding from where I sit on the floor of my basement.
I see a football. Danny’s football. It used to be Danny’s football. Now it’s just some football my son used to hold, used to play with. It probably smelled like him. Part of me wanted to go pick it up, the other part of me didn’t wanted to be reminded of the last time we played football together.
I pick up number nineteen, and out of the corner of my eye see (Y/N)’s old dolls, something we thought we could use for our little girl someday.
But that’s not going to happen.
I know what happened. I saw their mangled, bruised, broken, dead bodies after their accident.
I pick up number twenty.
Oh God how was I going to say this.
The rest of my life depended on this.
She was just perfect. In every way possible. She was beautiful. Kind. Sweet. Funny. Understanding. Just (Y/N).
And I needed to tell her.
Tell her how much I needed her, wanted her, and had to have her. It was a feeling beyond comprehension. It was love.
I needed to tell her I loved her.
So here I am, sitting in the lot, looking at the stars with (Y/N). Doing something I cinta with the one I love.
I look over at her, her eyes gleaming from the light of the fire.
“(Y/N)?” I ask as I grab her hand.
“Yeah?” She turns to face me.
“I-I think…” I start.
“Just say it,” she smiles.
“I cinta you.” I blurt out.
She looks surprised for a second. But then she grins.
“I cinta anda too.”
“This was my mom’s,” he mutters. “(Y/N) (Y/L/N), will anda marry me?”
