Johnny's Death

Ponyboy and Dally were visiting Johnny after we had won the rumble, beating the Socs. They had gone to the hospital to tell Johnny the good news. While Pony and Dally were going to the hospital, the rest of the gang was picking themselves up, and heading back home. Steve was leaning on my arm, while Darry walked with Two-Bit. We all slowly stumbled our way home, hoping not to caught by any police. When we had gotten home, Two-Bit, Steve, and Darry went to go clean themselves up. I had gone to take another shower. When I had gotten back, they mood was pretty tense. Darry had tended to his bruises and Two-Bit to his cut lip and eyebrow. Steve had also fixed his bruises and cuts. But that's not the worst. They had gotten a call from Dally, saying that Johnny had died in the hospital from his severe burns. He had said that Pony was still at the hospital and didn't have a ride home. When Darry had finished, we all grew silent. Johnny had passed away. We were all pretty much in denial. But that still couldn't erase the fact that Johnny was gone.
