Hey guys! I am so sorry for not updating sooner, just been ya know caught up in some things, but I am back and here is chapter 10!

-Miley's P.O.V.-

He said my name and I could feel my smile widen even more, that's when I felt his arms pull me into a very needed brother sister hug.

"Pony!"

"Miley!" we exclaimed in unison. Pony kissed my forehead.

"When did you get here?" he asked.

"yesterday…when did you're hair become….blonde?" I asked touching a piece of his blonde choppy locks. His face reddened and I could tell he hated me pointing it out.

"it's a disguise. Uh Johnny did it."

I looked at him confused.

"oh," he mumbled and walked behind Dally pulling a boy from the tall, broad JD.

"This is Johnny Cade, my best friend."

I studied the boy from where I stood. He certainly didn't look as I imagined. He had jet black hair that was combed to the side. He had big black eyes in a tanned face. His eyes possessed something that was beyond me. He was small and slim with a slight build.

"H-hi." he shyly mumbled. Now I would've said hello back but the words wouldn't leave my opened mouth my mind went blank, I instead waved, avoiding eye contact with him. Pony smiled and Dallas groaned.

"Okay, meet 'n' greet's over. C'mon I'm starved." Dally said, climbing into the car.

"You think we ain't?" Johnny mumbled. Pony sat in the back seat with me and Johnny made himself comfy in the front seat.

So this is the Johnny that murdered that boy. I couldn't believe it. He looked so innocent and pained… and very…cute, attractive. He bit his nails nervously and ran a finger down his short black sideburns every once in a while. I sunk back into the seat as the boys talked.

"Miley?" Pony nudged me. I blinked out of my trance and faced him.

"Hm?"

"Boy, you're quiet, how long you staying for? How's Soda and Darry?"

"I'm staying for good and Darry's missin' ya and Sodapop…I can't say 'cause I haven't seen him much, since he has work and this girl he has been seeing."

"what girl?" he asked, a bit annoyed.

"it's this girl….um…Danielle was her name I think."

When we got to the drive in of Dairy Queen-disgusting place if you ask me- Pony was still on the 'Danielle' subject, he wasn't gunna to give up until he got to the bottom of it.

"what does she look like?" he asked, receiving his sundae.

"Can't say… never meet the girl," I replied looking at the bbq sandwich Dally has ordered for me (even though I told him I just wanted fries). Pony sighed, dropping the subject, scooping another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth like it was his last meal.

I leaned over to Pony, holding my so-called 'sandwich' out to him.

"wanna trade?" I asked, hoping he would take the offer. But instead he shook his head. A hand reached in and took the sandwich out of my hands.

"Tryin' to trade a free, good sandwich for that nasty ice cream, I see." Dally muttered, taking a big bite from the bbq sandwich.

"I told you that I only wanted fries." I mumbled to him.

"well then eat 'em." Dally snapped.

"Don't yell at her Dal." Johnny mumbled.

Dallas rolled his eyes, "I'm going to the bathroom." I said already out the car.

"Me too." Johnny said.

After I washed my hands I looked into the mirror of the public bathroom, I flattened out my hair even though it was completely straight, naturally. I sighed and thought about the tanned faced boy for a mere minute and saw myself blush, I hardly knew this boy and I'm already developed a…crush on him?

"Miley, Darlin' don't get mixed up in a relationship, not again." I said to myself before leaving the small dull white plastered bathroom. As I walked out I was knocked enough to stumble, I gasped and jumped, so did the body I knocked into.

"S-S-Sorry." Johnny stuttered, looking at the ground.

I nodded and walked to the car. Hoping I didn't give him the wrong idea. I just couldn't bring myself to talk to him.

The ride back to the church was agonizingly awkward. Johnny and Dally had a bit of an argument (Well, Dallas argued, Johnny spoke maybe one or two sentences) Johnny wanted to go back and turn himself in, Dally thought otherwise. As we came more and more near the Church I saw black, blotchy, smoldering smoke uprising from the Church… the church was ignited and burning into ash slowly…
