CABBAGE!!!!!!! o.O
Chapter 13, Oh shit! FIRE!
"DALLAS!!! Slow the fuck down! Your gonna get us all kiiiiilllllllllleeeeeddddddd! AHHHHHH!!" I screamed as Dalllas spead down the road at break neck speed. He was on the wrong side of the road, going WAY to fast, right towards a tractor. I covered my eyes as he swirved around it. He cut off a truck as he pulled into Dairy Queen. I was gripping my seat so tight that I had made holes in it. Johnny's tan skin had a green undertone and he looked like he was about to barf while Ponyboy WAS barfing. I took a shaky breath and glared at Dally. Without warning, I slapped him hard acrss the face.
"You fucking basterd! If you EVER pull that again I'm going to kill you with my bare hands!" I growled while Dally rubbed his face. We ended up getting four BBQ sandwitches and cokes for everyone. We ate in silence for about three seconds before Dally opened his mouth again.
"That Soc you killed… he had a lot of friends. It's been Greaser vs. Soc everywhere you go. We can't even walk alone anymore. Look… I started carrin' a heater man." He said as he pulled out a hand gun. I choked on the french fry in my mouth.
"Dally you kill people with heaters!" I gasped out. Okay, Dallas is an idiot but even he wouldn't kill somebody! Well, not on purpose anyway…
"Don't worry, it ain't loaded." He said. A couple of kids came over then and started asking for money. Johnny, Pony, and I hid our faces while Dally shooed them away. "That was close." He mumbled. "Tim Shepard's gang and our outfit are gonna have it out with the Socs in the vacent lot tommorow night. Hay… I didn't tell you we had a spy." He said, his voice going sneaky all of a sudden.
"A spy? Who?" Pony and Johnny asked in interest. I just shut up and listened, enjoying some real food.
"You member' that good lookin' broad I tried to pick up the night you… uh… wasted that kid? What's her name…Cherry something, the red head." He said. I looked up in interest.
"Cherry Valance?" I asked at the same time that Ponyboy called out, "Cherry Valance!" The only reason I knew her was because she was a cheerleader and I remembered her from when I used to go to school.
"Yea, her." Dally answered.
"Cherry's a Soc Dal." Johnny said.
"Yea well we were all hangin' out down at the lot when she pulls up in her little singray. Lemme tell you that took a lot of nerve. She said that'd she testify that the Socs were drunk and that they were the one's looking for a fight and you guys faught back strictly on self defense. Man, that little broad sure does hate me. I offered to take her over to the Dingo for a coke and she told me to go to hell. Yea… so you think she might like me a little bit? I think she's kinda cute." Dally said. Ponyboy chucked his snadwhitch out the window and I gave him a look. He shook his head at me and I mouthed, "You WILL tell me later, Curtis!" He nodded in defeat. I grinned in triumph.
"We're goin' back. We're gonna turn ourselves in." Johnny said suddenly. I looked at him with wide eyes.
"What?" Dally and I asked in sync.
"I gotta good chance of being let off easy. It was self defense, you just said that. Pony, Crissy and Cherry can testify to that, and we won't say that you helped us, I'll give you back that gun so you won't get in any trouble, Dally." Johnny said. My mouth was hanging open and my eyes were huge.
"Are you sure? Are you really sure this is what you wanna do?" Dallas asked.
"Yeah I'm sure man! It ain't fair for Darry, Soda and Steve to be worrin' bout' Crissy and Pony all the time! And, I guess my folks don't worry about me…" He said but was cut off by Dallas.
"Hay man the boys are worried! Do you know that Two-Bit wanted to go to Texas to hunt for you?!" Dally said angrily.
"Dal, I asked if my parents asked about me." Johnny said.
"No they didn't ask about you! So what! Do you think my old man gives a hang about weather I'm dead in a car wreck or drunk or in jail or something? He doesn't care! But that doesn't bother me none!" He yelled.
"Dallas! God damnit, stop yellin' at the poor kid! He isn't you! Thank god for that! If he were just like you I'd kill you both! Lay off the poor kid!" I said. He turned to face me with dangerous eyes that would make anybody shut up… anybody but me, cause see, I wasn't scared of Dallas. Not even a little bit. Dally would never hurt me and he knew I was right so I just stared hard at him until he turned around with a huff. Stupid blonde. HA! I can actually say that without being a hypocrite because I ain't blonde anymore! HAHA!
"Man you ain't goin' anywhere. I get you a hideout… a hideout… and now look at this! You wanna split. Johnny, you don't know what a few months in jail can do to ya man! You get mean in jail man! I just don't wanna see that happen to you like it did to me, you understand?" He said. We were on the road now, almost to the church when Ponyboy gasped from behind me. I followed his eyes to the church that was in flames! Dally pulled up to it and before I could comprehend what I was doing I jumped out of the car and ran towards the church… Ponyboy was right next to me.
"Ponyboy, Crystal! Get back over here!" Dally screamed. There were two adults… a man and a women standing back from the fire surrounded by a bunch of little kids.
"Jerry! Some of the childern are missing!" The girl said in horror. Faintly, you could hear screams coming from inside the church! That was it for me. I started running towards the church again, Ponyboy falling into step next to me. The man tried to get to us before we passed but he was too fat… hee hee. Johnny ran out of the car after us as Pony and I tried to kick the window in. Johnny picked up a huge rock and chucked it at the window witch broke the boards. I climbed in the window first, even though Johnny tried to pull me back. It was so smokey in there I could barely see my hand in front of my face.
"Is that guy coming?" I called.
"No!" Johnny answered.
"Why not?" Pony asked. "Too scared?" He said. I laughed, surprising myself that I wasn't scared.
"Nah, too fat." Johnny said with a smirk. I guess he wasn't scared either. I ran into the back room where the screams were coming from. Dally had torn open the window when we got there.
"Take these kids Dally! Take'em!" I called as I handed him a boy. We gave the kids to Dallas as quickly as possible.
"The roof! C'mon guys!" Dallas called as he yanked Ponyboy out of the window. A banner from the ceiling fell and went straight for Johnny's back and I suddenly saw something horrible.
Johnny, in a hospital bed, pale and still. Dead obviously. Dallas going insane and robbing a store. The cops catch him and he pulls his unloaded heater on them… they shoot him down quickly. All because of that one beam. I slammed Johnny to the floor and rolled as Dally picked him up and dragged him out. More of the roof fell and blocked the window. I faintly heard Dally scream out my name but I really couldn't care. Going on instinct, I slid underneath a stone pew and closed my eyes tight, wrapping myself into a little ball.
I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die! Why aren't I scared? I thought. I really wasn't scared at all. I actually felt calm. Go figure. Still though, as the roof of the church came down and my world went black, one more though passed through my head.
Goodbye my Greaser boys. I love you all.
