It was the end of the day and Lori was sitting at the back of her English class, usually she would be with Johnny but she guessed he hadn't gone school as she hadn't seen him all day. The 60 minute lesson went by rather quickly; she walked out to the front of the school where she found Two-Bit, Steve and Ponyboy waiting for her.
"Hi guys." She smiled happily at them. Two-Bit raised an eyebrow.
"Stevie I thought you said that she was upset!"
"She was when I last saw her!" Steve raised his arms in defence.
"I was… But I'm okay now." She smiled again.
"You know what, that's nice to see! It seems like such a long time since I saw you smile!" Two-Bit smiled like a Cheshire cat wrapping his arm around Lori's shoulders.
"It feels good."
"Will you two get in the car already!" Steve honked the horn. The pair laughed and climbed into Steve's car. "Aw shit." Steve said smacking the steering wheel.
"What?" Lori asked leaning in the front.
"Ran out of fuel. It was on low this morning but I figured it would last till I go the DX tonight!"
"You're kidding right?" She said frowning.
"Looks like we gotta walk." Everyone moaned as they got out the car and began walking. After walking for a while they neared the lot, Lori spotted something of the ground.
"Hey isn't that Johnny's jacket?"
"Yeah it is." Steve said picking it up.
"Do you think he left it here?" Ponyboy said.
"I don't know maybe he-" But before she could carry on she noticed something on the collar. "Oh my god is that blood?" Her eyes widened and then all of a sudden they heard a strange moaning noise, as if someone was in pain. They looked around then Two-Bit spotted a figure lying on the floor curled in a ball. The four of them ran over to the figure and saw that it was Johnny. He had received a real bad beating,
"Oh my god." Pony was the first to speak.
"Hey Johnny, everything's going be okay. You're going to be fine!" Steve said hovering above Johnny, not knowing what to do. As though they could sense something was wrong, Sodapop, Darry and Dallas turned up and stood around us. Dallas looked like he was ready to kill someone.
"Who did this?" Soda asked kneeling down next to Johnny.
"Who do you think?" Two-Bit said, even he had a serious, angry look on his face.
"Fucking Socs. They're going pay." Dally said.
"Come on; let's take you to the hospital." Darry gently picked Johnny up and carried him to his truck, Ponyboy and Soda followed him. "Can one of you guys take Lori home?"
"Why can't I come with you?" She asked.
"Because I don't want you to be at the hospital, plus we're probably going be there late."
"But Ponyboy is going and he's younger than me!"
"Johnny is Pony's best friend." Darry got in the car and drove off.
"Come on Lori, you can see Johnny tomorrow!" Two-Bit said swinging him arm around Lori's shoulders as they started walking. "You coming Dal?"
"No, I've got something I need to do." He said and then walked off in the opposite direction.
"What do you think he's going to do?" Lori asked looking between Two-Bit and Steve.
"Knowing our pal Dallas, he's probably going go around and kick the shit out of every Soc he sees until he finds the ones who did that to Johnny." Two-Bit said and Steve just nodded agreeing.
Okay I know this chapter wasn't very long and sort of sucked! But I accidently turned my computer off without saving what I already wrote and word didn't recover it so I've just had to quickly write this for you and I couldn't write any more as I'm sort of bust at the moment, but good news!
The update date may be moved towards sorta like the middle of the week once I get more free time which will hopefully be soon… Or another option for you guys is, there could be 2 updates in a week, but the chapters wouldn't be very long, probably only a little longer than this one. So let me know what you want doing and we'll see what happens
Even though it wasn't one of the best chapters please remember to leave a review They do make me happy and do encourage me to continue this story!
Happy 1st December Hope you all enjoyed the chocolate out of your advent calendar! (do other countries do that as well?)
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Holly! xxx
