Johnny's POV

I had only two friends when I was a kid, Ponyboy, and Emily. Emily was a year younger than me, but that didn't matter to us. She was my best friend in the whole world. We did everything together. There was rarely a moment where we weren't together. Like me and Ponyboy, Emily was a greaser and life was tough. I remember one day when I was ten she came over my house to play. As she was walking past me, I noticed that there were bruises on her arms. I asked her about it.

"Oh that...I was over Ponyboy's house and I tripped and fell." I believed her. Emily was the clumsiest person ever and was always tripping over stuff, but something in the back of my head told me she was lying. No one gets that beat up from tripping. I asked her again, and this time she actually told the truth.

"My old man got real drunk last night and started hitting me." I looked into her eyes and noticed that tears were about to fall. She was telling the truth this time. She wiped her tears away and ran into my room where we were headed to before I stopped her. I followed her and we played, but the whole time I was thinking about those tears that were about to fall. A few hours later, Emily had to head home. Once she left I slowly walked into the kitchen where my mom was reading a magazine.

"Hey mom?" I asked her as I pulled a chair over to the table. "Can I ask you something?" I guess my face looked awful sad cause she put down her magazine and was listening really well. "Would you ever hit me?"

She looked puzzled. "Why on earth would I do that? I love you Johnny. I could never hit you."

"Would dad ever hit me?"

"No honey. Why are you asking about this?"

"Well..." I started. I instantly remembered Emily's face when she told me. I couldn't let her stay in her house and get hit more. "When Emily came over to play today I noticed that she had bruises on her arms and I asked her and she said that her dad hit her."

"Slow down, slow down," my mom said. "Emily's being hit?"

I nodded.

"Oh dear. Johnny, go play over at Ponyboy's for a little while ok? I have to go take care of a few things."

I nodded again, and ran out of the house towards the Curtis' house.

When I got back a few hours later, I heard my mom and dad talking quietly in their room. When they realized that I was standing outside their room, my mom came out to talk to me.

"Honey, I need to talk to you about Emily." she said, taking my hand and leading me over to the couch in the family room. "Emily...Emily will be going away for awhile. I called child services and they're taking her to some relatives in New York."

My stomach lurched. This was all my fault. Emily was leaving and it was all my fault.

"W-when is she going?" I was finally able to spit out.

"Tomorrow morning."

My stomach lurched again. I ran to my room, closed the door, and cried.

The next morning, my mom took me over to Emily's house. When we got there, there was a van parked outside. Next to it were several suitcases. Emily stood leaning against the van, twisting her ponytail around her finger like she did everytime she was nervous. When she saw me she lit up. She ran over to me before I was ten feet from the car.

"Hi Johnny Cake." she said as I approached her.

"Hey Em", I realized that she had more bruises than yesterday.

We stood there for a few awkward moments before she embraced me. We stood there hugging and crying for a few minutes.

"I'm gonna miss you so much Johnny."

"I'm gonna miss you too Emily." I managed to say between sobs.

A woman in a suit came over to Emily and told her that they have to leave now.

"Goodbye Johnny."

"Bye Emily."

She hugged me one last time and then walked towards the door of the van.

"WAIT!" I screamed. She stopped and I ran over to her again. "Here," I said, taking off my denim jacket. "Have this."

She took the jacket from me and put it on. "Thanks Johnny." We locked eyes for a brief moment then she opened the car door and went inside. The engine started and the van slowly pulled away from me. That was the last time I ever saw Emily.

Dallas came over right after sunset.

"Hey Johnny," he said as I opened the door, "The guys and I were wondering if you wanted to come to the Tastee Freeze. How about it?"

"Cool," I said, "Let me get my jacket."

Two-bit had his brakes on his car fixed so after I got my jacket, Dallas and I hopped in the back seat. I said hi, to Ponyboy and Two-bit and we sped off towards the Tastee Freeze.

Five minutes later we were inside the Tastee Freeze, and sitting at a table waiting for a waitress. Soda and Steve walked from work and when they saw us they came over and sat down too.

"You got a cancer stick Johnny?" Dally asked me.

"Yeah. Here."

As he was lighting it, he looked at a table two tables away from us. "Hey," he said after he lit it. "Look at the cute waitress." I looked over. She was cute, even though we couldn't see her face. She was small, about 5' 3" with long brown hair in a ponytail that reached about halfway down her back. Her long legs looked good in the short skirt she was wearing. Her tight fitting t-shirt showed off her arms. They were long and toned arms that showed that she was stronger than other girls and could hold her own in a fight.

"You're right," Two-bit said. "Heck, I would ask her out but she's not a blonde."

"You're so shallow," said Ponyboy only loud enough for me to hear.

She finished taking that table's order and turned around. Someone at that table must have said something funny, cause she smiled as she was walking away. I knew that smile. It was a smile that lit up everything, a smile that made you want to smile. I studied the rest of her face as she walked towards us. She had stunning eyes, a blue-green color. They captivated me, and after finally realizing that I was staring, I looked away.

"Hi!" she said when she reached our table. "Can I take your order?"

Everyone ordered, and then I said the same thing as I always do. "I'll have a cheeseburger, with fries and a strawberry milkshake." I was easy to know what I wanted because I have been ordering the same thing since I was five. Ponyboy used to make fun of me because I was the only one who liked strawberry milkshakes, well almost. Emily loved them too.

"Wow," she said as she was writing the order down. "You are the only person I've waited on so far who ordered a strawberry milkshake." She finally looked up from her little notepad and her eyes locked with mine. "I was getting the feeling that I was the only in this town who likes strawberry milkshakes!"

Strawberry milkshakes? Finally, I figured out who it was and why that smile looked so familiar. "Emily? Is...is that you?" She smiled again. "Well," she said in a sarcastic tone, "It took you long enough."

Ok...please review and tell me what you liked and what you didn't...please no Kakashi-fangirl bashing though...ok bye people!
