Author's Note- Thank you to everyone that reviewed! You all inspired me to continue with this story so this update is for you. I would have had it up on Friday but ended up going to my grandparents for the weekend, but I got it up. So here is chapter two enjoy!
Johnny's eyes darted around the room as he stepped in to Dr. Voight's office. Her room was so cluddered compared to the rest of this place. There were things hanging on the walls and chairs and a couch, a desk, a book shelf, and cabnits.
The room wasn't plain and white like everything else. It was a very light shade of blue. Some how Johnny's feet moved him to a chair and he sat down his eyes still wandering. There were pictures on the walls and what looked to be the doctor's degrees.
"Jonathan" Dr. Voight said and Johnny's eyes were still wandering around the room and he wasn't paying attention. "Jonathan" Dr. Voight said a bit more stern.
Johnny jumped at her slightly raised voice. He didn't want her to be mad at him. He hadn't even done anything. He'd never done anything to his parents either, but they were always mad at him. Johnny rested his eyes on the orange pen the doctor's desk. He wondered if the ink was orange. Karen Sweeny, who was in his science class, had a pen that wrote with orange ink.
"Jonathan" Dr. Voight said her voice back to a normal tone.
"Johnny" Johnny said his voice barely a whisper, his eyes not meeting Dr. Voight's. Did he just say that? Out loud?
"I'm sorry, Johnny." She corrected herself. "So Johnny I hear your from Tulsa."
Johnny hesitated, he didn't know what to do. Was he suppose to talk to her? If he did surely she'd think he was crazy. Wait no maybe if he didn't talk she'd think he was crazy. He really didn't know so he just nodded still looking at things on Dr. Voight's desk.
"Do you have friends in Tulsa?" Dr. Voight asked. She knew from the moment he walked in that Johnny wasn't going to be much of a talker so she decided to stick with yes or no questions at first.
Johnny nodded thinking about his friends.
"Do these friends have names?" Dr. Voight asked hoping to get an actual answer from him. He looked up from her desk and stared at her with his big dark eyes.
"Would you care to share their names?" She asked and Johnny looked back down and sat there for a moment debating whether or not he should tell her. She already thinks he's crazy and when he tells her his friends crazy names she will definatally think that he has lost his mind.
"Johnny?" She asked when he didn't say anything for a few minutes.
"Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry Curtis, Steve Randle, Two-bit Mathews, and Dallas Winston." Johnny said staring at the doctor's name plate speaking quietly.
"Who is Dallas Winston?" She asked him. She'd gotten him to say something at least now if she could just keep him talking. "You said his name differently than the others."
"Dally's tuff." Did he just say that? Johnny didn't want to say anything and now he's telling her who Dallas Winston is. His mouth has a mind of it's own sometimes.
"Tough?" Dr. Voight said to no one in particular. "So he's the bad boy of your little group of friends?"
Johnny nodded. Dallas was the bad boy of the group if not the whole city.
"So what are you to the group Johnny?" She asked hoping he would answer. Johnny thought about it for a second and kind of shruged. "Are you the youngest?" She asked and he shook his head. Pony's the youngest even though he looks it. "No. What about the funny one?" He shook his head, Two-bit's the funny one.
"The pet" Johnny managed to say.
"The pet?" Dr. Voight asked "What do you mean 'the pet'? Like everyone's little brother?"
Johnny nodded. It was true. Dallas was the tuff hood, or bad boy as Dr. Voight put it. Two-bit was the funny one, Darry was the oldest, Soda was the happy-go-lucky one, Steve was the cocky one, Pony was the youngest, and Johnny was the pet.
Everyone looked out for him. Everyone thought of him as their little brother. Even Pony has been known from time to time to call him kid. None of them would hurt him in anyway. Like that time at the drive in when he told Dally to leave those girls alone. If it were anyone else Dally woulda punched 'em out, but not Johnny.
Dr. Voight could tell that was about all the information she was going to get out of Johnny for today. She was suprised that she actually got him to say anything, let alone who his friends were, so she figured she'd let him go for today.
"Alright Johnny, I think we're done for today." Dr. Voight said and Johnny looked up at her for a second as she wrote some things down in a file and then looked out the window. A few moments later Paul the orderly came into the room ready to take Johnny back to his room.
"Hey John you ready to go?" Johnny looked over at him and some how managed to get up and walk out the door. They walked down the hall towards Johnny's room in silence.
"You don't talk much do ya?" Paul the orderly asked. Johnny looked over at him with that blank stare again and didn't answer. That stare was kinda starting to creep Paul out. "I'll take that as a no." He said and the walked the rest of the way in silence.
"Here we are." Paul said opening the door once they got there. Johnny didn't say a word and just walked in the room. "Ok well I'll see ya in a while for dinner." Paul added; Johnny said nothing.
"Ok" Paul said "Uh well bye Johnny." He said closing the door and walking away leaving Johnny all alone in the plain and blank place that was now his home.
