Well, here's my first Outsiders fic. I plan to do more since I love the outsiders :3
(reviews are very appreciated!)
disclaimer: i don't own outsiders, pony, soda, johnny, or anything else, though i wish they were mine!
Dear Johnny,
Well, I ain't gonna lie, it's sure been a hard week without you. Especially walking home after school, it's lonely now, unless one of the guys happens to bump into me halfway there. Anyways, I got your letter and the book. I kinda felt dumb doing it, but I read the rest of the book out loud so you could hear. Did you like how it ended? I hope so. Jeez, it seems like so long ago when we started reading it back in that old church. I don't want to talk about that place though…
I been going to the lot everyday now, and each time I find myself looking around to see if you're already there. I guess it's just a habit I haven't gotten over yet, and maybe I never will. I'll tell ya, it just feels funny sitting there alone, but it gives me time to think. Soda says I shouldn't keep going there so much 'cause he thinks it making me depressed or something, but I don't mind. Besides, that's where I go to talk to you sometimes. Maybe I'll try to write to you more like now instead, just so he'll get off my case. Anyways, I figured if you can't hear me than maybe you can read this letter at least.
You know Johnnycakes, kids' mothers still come up to me once in a while to thank me and 'that other boy' for what we did back at that church. I always tell them the truth though, that you were the real hero. And don't tell me you weren't, 'cause we all know you were. Well, enough with that sappy stuff…
Soda should be comin' in here any minute to go to bed so I better finish up. Gee Johnny Cade, I really miss you buddy. It sure feels weird drinking more than my half of a coke you know. Well, I hope you get to read this, I'll write again soon.
Your pal,
Ponyboy
P.S. How's Dally? I think he is happier now, and I hope he got to see you already. I know he missed you a lot too.
