Chapter One: Johnny's POV
I knew I wasn't going to get better. I knew from the moment I went in that church I wasn't going to come back out the same person. I can't really feel pain that often, in fact I can barely feel anything. Despite the fact that with every breath I take I feel my life slip away, faster than usual. I'd always thought on killing myself but here I was, I finally did it. No going back now. Since I've been here I wonder why I ever fathomed on killing myself. As I lay here, smelling the never ending smoke and antibiotics, I think. 16 years really ain't long at all. I had already lived half my life when I turned 8 years old. It's to soon to die, but yet, it's just the right time. What am I living for? Sure I have the gang but if it wasn't for them, I would've never known what it was like to be able to talk to somebody and not get hit. If Im not going to die now then I'll spend the rest of it paralyzed, in fear, maybe even in jail for killing that boy. In this moment, I've finally decided. I'm going to just give up. It's my choice, and I've made my final decision. Just then, I heard the door open and saw two shadows walk in. One sat by my side, the other standing before me. The figure by my side began to talk and immediately I recognized it was Dally. That means the other figure had to of been Ponyboy. I couldn't make out what he was saying but I did hear the word rumble.
"Useless... Fightings no good..." I managed out. I knew I was on my last breath as I surrendered my self to the light. The light looked like the sunset Ponyboy had watched with me. That sunset was probably the greatest thing I've ever experienced in my life, besides for the brotherhoodly love of the gang. I had to some way tell Ponyboy that. As my last words I needed him to know how much that one poem and that one sunset impacted my life. "Stay gold Ponyboy, Stay gold." I whispered then with my my last bit of life I closed my eyes and was whisked away from what use to be the body of Johnny Cade.
