-1Johnny is on his death bed.

His last words to me, Ponyboy's little sister.

"Leah, I know people rag on you all the time for being younger but, cherish this while you can. These are the years you can never get back. Be a kid while you still can." Johnny said trying to talk

"Shh save your strength Johnny, please don't leave us. Your gonna be ok."

"Do you have anything left to say to me?" Johnny said

I looked at him with tears in my eyes. He's like my brother. I don't want him to die. I don't.

I replied "Johnny. I love you, I prefer you not to leave us now. But its better like this, you left knowing all the things you wouldn't have known if you had killed yourself. I love you with all of my heart and soul. You were my angel and taught me things ill never forget. You're dying at a golden age. I'm glad you're happy. Please continue to be guardian angel" By the time I finished saying that, Johnny got paler. I started to cry harder than ever.

"Leah." He said motioning his hand for me to come closer. "Stay Gold. I always will be your guardian angel." He got paler.

"PONY!" I yelled. "Come in here!"

Pony ran in Dallas right behind him.

"IS he ok?" Said Pony starting to tear

"No, I think he's gonna die." I replied

"Ponyboy." Croaked Johnny

Ponyboy leaned in.

"Stay Gold Ponyboy." Said Johnny. "Stay Gold"

And with that. Johnny Cade, best friend, peace maker, and all around good guy. Had breathed his last breath. His last words being. Stay Gold
