"Whoa, Whoa". I stopped the boys in the middle of their story, doing my best to understand all that they were telling me, "Ya telling me you ,Ponyboy ran away from home after Darry hit him, got Johnny, ran to the park, got jumped by Socs, than botta bing botta boom Bob Sheldon is dead" I took a deep puff of my cig and sighed "Well that's very interesting ". Ponyboy and Johnny were sitting on my couch. Ponyboy was shaking from the cold wrapped in my couch blanket .
" I'm really scared Houston, Darry never hit me before, and now I'm stuck in a whole murder situation". Ponyboy cried, for a 14 year old he sure did cry a lot .
"Man I wish I had a weed right now". Johnny said casually, it didn't look like it was affecting him. I got up from the couch after putting my cigarette in the ashtray. I leaned forward and used a key to open a hidden drawer in the coffee table, revealing a gun. "Here". I said handing the weapon to Johnny. "It's loaded so don't go waving around with it in your hand". I took 60 bucks out of the drawer "Your gonna need this" I handed him the money before grabbing my cigarette, and looking at the frightened boys. "Hop the 3-15 freight to Windrixville. " I instructed. "There's an old abandoned church on top of Jay mountain. Don't worry about water, there is an pump in the back and you only go outside for that. Get a weeks supply of food, and finally make sure ya get there before the story's out, I will drive up there as soon as I get a break". I took a drag of my cig.
"Wow Houston third times a charm". I said to myself getting up and walked the boys up to the door "Alright, Good luck you two and keep ya heads low" I ordered as I watched them walk down the hall.
Once I made sure the door was lock, I turned to the couch and picked up Ponyboy's wet clothes and threw them in the garbage, I had given him a sweater to wear to keep warm. "Bob is dead?" A sad voice chirped. I looked up to see Jenn on the verge of tears. I forgot she was here. "No, it can't be true, Not Bob, No not my Bobby" She sob, collapsing in a sofa chair, I raised and eyebrow 'I think missed something' I thought. "Bob was to much of an sweetheart". She continued. "When everyone judged me for the color of my skin he was the one to make me happy"
I rolled my eyes "Uh-huh and do a sweetheart jump two defenseless boys because they were hangin with their girls?" I asked sarcastically. Jenn looked at me with tears full of tears, and had the nerve to say "He never meant to hurt anybody". I scoffed "You must not know what the definition of 'jumping' is". Jenn looked back down at her hands their was a moment of silence from her before she said "C-Can I come with you to Windrixville?" That caught me off guard.
"Why?"
"Well I'm worried about Ponyboy...and Johnny". She was really more worried about Ponyboy, that was a no brainer.
I thought about it for a moment. If I had so 'No' I would have to deal with her blubbering the rest of the night, but if I had said 'Yes' she would be way too happy.
I sighed. "Sure" I whispered.
She nodded and smiled a very ugly smile "Thanks for letting me stay here, I better get home I know my mama is already arguing with the policemen" Jenn got up and walked out the door not before giving me an unwanted hug, I watched her leave before thinking. 'I thought her mother wasn't home'. Before realization came to me.
"OH that sneaky Stuck up Soc"
-Not to much of an long chapter like I wanted but I wanted to get something out there so I wouldn't be worried, about not updating a story. Next Chapter will be longer like the past two.
