Ponyboy Prologue
Ponyboy's POV
"Cade...as in Johnny Cade?"
Who is this girl?
"Yes Johnny Cade. Could you help me find him I'm getting worried and he's not back yet..."
Back...back where?
"Of course little Miss," replied my brother Sodapop
"Thank you so much Mister! I'm really getting worried! It's getting late too!"
Late... it's only 4pm.
"Do you know where he could be" asked my brother's best friend Steve.
"He said something about hanging out at a football field..." the girl sniffled as she clutched her overly sized sweater towards her chest.
We led her to the field and it made me wonder who she is?
Every Greaser knows where the field is...but she doesn't dress like those Socs... What is she? Is she Johnny's girlfriend...? Who is she?
We looked around, but couldn't find him. We walked past the field, a little up head when
Steve spotted something on the ground up ahead.
"Looks like he left his jacket too."
Steve said as he picked it up to hand it to the lady next to me. Suddenly he stopped as he eyed the jacket. He examined the grass. He looked up at us as he croaked out
"It's blood on it..."
The girl beside me gasped as she let out a few sobs.
Johnny's girlfriend really does care for him...
As if the heard her sobs a low moan was heard as a lump lay motionless on the other side of the lot. We ran to the lump, but Soda reached him first as he gently turned him over. Someone had beaten him...badly.
Johnny...
The girl ran over towards him as she cradled his head into her lap and she cried. This wasn't the first time Johnny was beaten, his parents usually do that, but this was nothing like that...
There were cuts and bruises that litters his face, his cheek was swollen badly, and there was this huge wide gash from his forehead to his swollen cheek. His T-shirt was splashed with blood.
Steve dropped do his knees beside Johnny's girl as he dropped his head in his hands
Soon the whole gang was there... No one questioned on who the girl holding onto Johnny for dear life was.
"Hey Johnnycake" Soda whispered as he gently picked Johnny from the girl
"Soda," Johnny said it so soft it seemed like it took most of his energy
"Shhhh, Johnny you're gonna be okay,"
"There were a bunch of them... I was so scared... it was a blue mustang full of 'em."
Johnny tried to continue but he couldn't he cried as he tried to get ahold of himself, but he just couldn't.
She look so broken right now. She must really love Johnny. I wish Cherry would feel that way for me...
Sodapop tried his best to comfort Johnny as he sobbed out the story. He explained how there were four Socs and one of them had a lot of big rings on their hand. It wasn't just the beating that that shook him. It was their threats...
We cleaned him up as we raced to the hospital inside of Steve's car
She hasn't said a thing at all.
We rushed inside the doors of the hospital as we got the needed attention for Johnny and they rushed him off. They wouldn't let us to go in and it was getting on my nerves.
The girl looks pretty irritated that she can't go in. Johnny got himself a great girl.
Dally stood up as he demanded the nurse that we be allowed to see him and of course she said no. He stormed back over here as he walked nearer to the girl.
"Who are you and why are you here? He yelled towards her as she looked up and she answered with the most loyalty and passion I have ever seen,
That look...
"I am Karma Cade and that's my big brother in there." It was than that I got a good look at her and realized...
His sister...
