"Stay gold ponyboy." The words echoed through my head, you know, like when you say something real loud in an empty house and it echo's off the wall? Yeah, like that.
A single tear ran down my cheek as I sat on the couch. I remembered the good and bad time's I had with Johnny.
He was my best friend, my buddy. It was hard to deal with the fact he was gone, even though I tried to tell myself that he was in a better place, away from the pain, the violence, and his parents.
"Gosh! Pony! why are Ya' crying?" I glanced up, looking into my older brother, Sodapop's face.
"It's nothing!" I said quickly, wiping my tears away with the back of my hand, "I'm fine Soda." Sodapop gave me a puzzled look, one of his "I know there's something up" look.
I sighed, knowing Soda won't give up till I told him. Gee, I sure can't hide anything from Soda.
I opened my mouth to speak but Soda broke in before I could answer. "You where thinking about Johnny again weren't you?"
Soda sure could read me like a book.
I nodded, slightly surprised. "Yeah" I said sadly, looking away from Soda's face to avoid eye contact.
"Shot, Ponyboy, Johnny is in a better place, well... anywhere is better then his home" he said, and he was right, I had met his mom in person once in the hospital, and what I had seen, I didn't like her, and neither did Two-bit, I remember what Two-bit had said that night, and he was right, the reason Johnny hated his mother's guts was because she abused him, mentally and physically.
I sighed deeply through my nose, trying to control myself, I knew Soda was right.
"Oh, by the way, this came in the mail for you." Soda dropped something onto my lap, It was addressed to me alright.
The lettering looked familiar for some reason, it reminded me of... Johnny's writing.
