Oh my God.

The Socs are killin' Ponyboy. Drownin' him.

I gotta do something.

Man, I can't get up. What the fuck did they do to my leg?

What did we ever do to those fuckin' Socs to make 'em come after us, like?

I'm up.

What am I gonna do? What the fuck am I gonna do?

Ponyboy's dying. And I'm just standin' here...

Where's that switchblade?

Got it.

I'm right behind them and they still don't see me...

"Greaser's gotta a blade!"

Blood. There's blood on my blade, on my fingers, on my hand.

Oh my God. My God. My

It was so fast.

It can't be true.

I can't believe it.

I killed a Soc.

Me. Johnny.

I killed him dead.

Look at the Socs go, runnin'.

They gonna tell the cops.

The guy is just lying in the water and the blood is busting out of him into the fountain, bright red, like those flowers with petals that open to the moon by the porch at Dally's.

I don't wanna be a criminal. I don't wanna rot away in jail. I'm too little. I still got the whole rest of my life to live.

And what about Ponyboy?

It ain't his fault. He didn't do anything to make hisself go to jail.

He's way too young to be a criminal. He can't die in jail, but he won't last a minute.

I won't let it happen.

What am I gonna tell him when he comes 'round?

But maybe we won't go to jail.

What'll Dally say? Will he hate me? Or will he like me better because I'm like him now.

God…I'm gonna be sick.


You better review! You better!...pretty please? :)
