(PPOV)
"…we're brothers! Johnny, please don't go! You have no idea how much it hurts me! Why do you have to haunt me Johnny? Why?!"
I knelt there just crying in my dream. Crying over someone I could never get back, no matter how much I tried. I continued to stay in that position for a while, just looking at the gang. I spent a lot of time just examining Johnny. He looked kinda happy. I examined there faces again; that is till I felt a hand on my shoulder. I quickly turned to see who it was. It was Johnny.
"Hello Ponyboy."
"Johnny?"
I didn't know what to say.
"I heard you. I know we're buddies. See…you think it's me that is making you have these nightmares; when really…it's you. You need to learn how to let go. I wasn't your only friend Ponyboy. You have your brothers. They really care about you Ponyboy."
"I know they do, Johnny. I want to let go of you, but I can't."
"Why?"
"I just can't. Its like trying to take away a child's blanket. You were the only person I could talk to. You understood everything."
"Maybe if you give Darry and Soda pop a chance maybe they can help you."
"You know what Darry is like. He…He's more like a mom, than a brother. Soda pop and I are pretty close, but he has the attention span of a first grader. Face it Johnny, they wouldn't get it."
"Then maybe you should go to a psychologist. Just give it a try. You can always not go if you don't like it."
"Well Pony boy, I…."
I woke up. I stared at the ceiling. It was kinda dark out. I went into the kitchen, opened the fridge and got an orange soda. I went into Darry's room only to find him drooling on his pillow. No wonder his hair is wet in the morning…
Wait a minute…I can see…but the doctor said a week…?
I woke up…that was cheap. A dream inside of a dream. I opened my eyes. Nothing…a black abyss. Darry came in…
"Are you awake, Ponyboy?"
"Yeah, I'm awake."
"Do you want supper?"
"What is it?"
"It's Macaroni and cheese."
"Sure."
"Did you dream about Johnny?"
"Yeah, I did."
"I didn't hear you crying or screaming."
"It was kind of good."
"Well…that's good."
"You know that Psychologist you wanted me to go to?"
"Yeah?"
"I'll go."
"Good."
"Ponyboy, what happened in this dream?"
"Well…"
Hope you enjoyed it. Review if you'd like. Thanks a bunch! ~Melina
