The plan was supposed to be Darry watching Soda and I, but both of them had a date. Mom didn't want me alone at the house so she took me with them. Johnny was living with us at the time and she told him to come with us. Since I was the youngest dad said I could pick where we were going to go. I thought about it for a minute and finally came up with a place we could all agree on.

"I know we should go to Mike's diner!" I said with excitement

To tell you the truth I loved that place. Dad used to take my brothers and I here when mom was getting home late. He stopped when he got laid off at the hardware store. My dad started focusing to find a job, and rarely took us. It's been awhile since we been here.

When we arrived I jumped out of the car. I ran around the building and started tearing up. I walked to the door and read the sign that was taped on the screen. It read:

Due to unsafe environment this diner is closed.

"Now where are we going to eat?" I asked

"I guess we will go home boys, it is getting a bit dark out." Replied dad

"I'll just make some spaghetti, alright honey?" said mom in a somewhat soothing voice

We all piled in the car and headed home. I heard a distant train whistle and looked outside the window. I didn't see a train. "Oh well, I am hungry I hope we get home soon." I thought

I heard the same train whistle and looked out again. I saw bright lights and then black. I heard frantic creams of my loved ones. Why won't this end. The crunching of the car, the screams of my parents and my best friend, the blackness was all I seen and heard.

I opened my eyes slowly and saw two bloody mangled bodies on top of the dash board. My best bud, Johnny was nowhere to be seen.

"Johnny! Johnny where are you!" I screamed but was actually a barely audible whisper.

I tried getting up but the bodies of my dead parents were weighing me down. I sat up and looked around for my friend until I spotted a figure limping towards me.

"Ponyboy! Are you alright? You didn't get too badly hurt did you?"

"I don't think so johnnycakes. Are you ok? Where did you go?"

"I saw the train and rolled out the car, I should've warned ya'll but it was so fast. I am so sorry pone."

"It's ok, but can you help get my parents off of me?"

He lifted the up and carefully set them down again. He reached out for my hands and tried pulling me out. It was no use, part of the car's hood was lying on my lap just sitting there and mocking us. I suddenly felt tired and dizzy.

"Johnnycakes I'm a little tired, night." I said barely keeping my eyes open

"No Ponyboy! Stay awake, you will be able to sleep soon. Soon you can sleep I promise."

"I'm too tired Johnny."

With that being said I fell into a deep sleep, not knowing I wouldn't wake up for a long time.

A/N: hey ya'll! I was listening to demi lavoto and on tumblr and started thinking. What if Johnny AND Ponyboy were in the car crash? So tell me what you think. You can also PM me if you want me to update stories, give me ideas, need advice, need ideas, or anything else you can think of. R&R my sugars!
