After Johnny and his friend went downstairs, I opened my eyes again. I've always been the type of person who cant fall back asleep once they've woken up. Its near impossible for me.
And then, I decided to take a risk, and I got up out of the bed, and began to walk down the stairs. I just waited for someone to come and beat me shitless, but it didn't happen. I saw Johnny & a few friends sitting around in another room, as I finished the steps, and walked in.
"Look who's finally awake." One of them said, and I could tell it was the guy from upstairs. "I'm Sodapop Curtis." He said, as I nodded.
I looked around, at the two other guys in the room. Johnny stood up, and walked over towards me. "That's Ponyboy, Soda's brother-" he whispered, pointing to the one on the left, who waved in acknowledgement, "And the other one is Two-Bit Matthews."
I smiled at the guys on the couch, before I turned to look at Johnny. "Listen, its late, and my parents, their probably wondering where I am, so…"
"I understand." He murmured, looking down at the floor. I must've upset him, somehow… "Hey, I'll walk you home." He said, as I nodded.
I began towards the door, as Johnny followed. And for most of the walk, we were silent, except for telling Johnny where I lived.
It was cold that night, the wind blowing my hair in my face every couple of seconds. Johnny didn't seem to mind, like he was used to it. But I guess he must've noticed me holding my arms together, that he took his jacket off, and handed it over towards me.
"Johnny, what-" I asked, as he just held the jacked out still, moving his arms in a motion as to say "take it."
I picked it up out of his hand, and slipped it over my shoulders. It was warm, probably from his wearing it. It fit me just about right, because Johnny was around the same height I was.
"Thanks…" I whispered, as we continued towards my place.
And when we finally got there, I didn't want to say goodbye. It was then I realized how much I was depending on Johnny, and what he'd done for me that night.
He turned around, before I yelled out "WAIT!"
He stopped, as I ran down the steps leading up to my house. I flung my arms around him, in a hug, and thankfully, I felt one of his arms reach back.
"Thanks, for everything you've done tonight…" I said, as he nodded. I'm not sure, but maybe he was blushing. It was hard to tell in the dark.
Finally, we let go of the hug, as he began to walk back to his house. I walked inside my own, just waiting for the screaming and yelling to begin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, all I could think about was Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. His voice, his quiet, sweet voice, was playing over and over in my head. I was holding his jean jacket in my arms while I was in bed, just wishing, hoping, dreaming that maybe, somehow, someday…
I was getting
ahead of myself. This was, after all, a greaser. And we had just
talked for the first time in 2 years that night.
I loved Johnny
Cade at that point, but I was too afraid to fall in love with…him.
And besides, he would NEVER fall for me. I was just…
I was a nobody, a loser. A "perfect little girl" who did what she was told.
And I just wished so badly that Johnny would say the words "love me." So I could follow them as soon as possible.
And as I slowly dosed off to sleep, I couldn't help but wonder where he was that night. What he was doing.
My little friendship with him had turned into much more. And it would keep developing till the day he…
It isn't time to think about that, though. That's for another day. Another time.
Another
place.
