This is a reaction from Johnny about how he felt when the Curtis parents died. I've had similar feelings, I hope he stays in character! Thank you!
Johnny's point of view
I didn't really talk to the Curtis parents that much, but they were great people. They always took care of me when I needed it and I tried my best to be mannerly in return.
When they died, Pony was so torn up; everybody was. At first, the shock didn't hit me until I was at their viewing, they are really gone. Even with all the beatings my parents give me, the biggest breakdown I ever had was in front of their coffins. I tried to pray for their souls to be at peace but all I could process at the moment was that there are two great people gone from the world and my best friend and his brothers would be affected by it.
I was fine the day after they died; I decided to go to school that day to get my mind off of things. After my homeroom teacher read us the letter all the teachers got sent to them reminding them that the Curtis parents died and just to be sympathetic if anyone saw Pony, I saw a Soc snicker. I could of killed him right there. I had to walk out and excuse myself; I didn't go back the rest of the day.
Sometimes I go visit their graves by myself just to talk to them and tell them what's going on, I hope they can hear me.
