We were on the train. Johnny was asleep and Pony just woke up. I stayed awake the whole time. I sat in silence watching Johnny and Ponyboy as Pony sat up stretched and looked around. Though there was no light I could tell he was smiling when he gaze fell on me watching over them in the corner. He stood up (which was not a good idea) and walked unsteadily over to me. He sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulder. "Did you sleep at all yet?" he asked me in a tired voice.
Putting my head on his shoulder I replied, "Naw. I was staying up so we didn't miss our stop."
"You can go to sleep now if you want. I'll stay up."
"No you won't. Go back to sleep Pon."
"I will. I promise."
"Well I'm not going to sleep because I'm not tired. I'll just sleep when I get to the church."
He shook his head, "Well I'll stay up with you. Is that ok?"
"Sure," I said crawling towards Johnny.
I stroked his hair. I laughed to myself thinking of something he said to me. Then I crawled back over to Pony. He was already asleep.
"I knew he wasn't going to stay up."
I went back over to Johnny. "Johnny," I whispered, " wake up Johnny."
He sat up. "Is Pony asleep?"
"Yea."
"Good," he said. He crawled over to the corner opposite Pony. "Come here," he whispered loud enough for me to hear and not wake Pony.
I crawled over to him. "Why did you go so far away from Pony?"
"So I won't wake him up while telling you something I don't want him to hear."
"Oh," I said looking into his eyes. I loved his big black eyes. They were a pleasure to look in when you were sad. Since it was still dark out I couldn't see his eyes to well. "What did you want to tell me?" I asked him getting curious.
"Um, forget it," he sighed.
"Mmk." I yawned and put my head in his lap. I soon found myself sleeping with him stroking my long dark hair. I woke up hearing Johnny calling my name. I opened my eyes slowly. "Huh?" I said sleepily.
"Come on we're ganna miss our stop." Pony told me.
"Oh ok."
When the train stopped we all got off and walked to Jay Mountain. We went inside the church and pon went right to sleep. In the dust next to him I wrote: Be Back Soon.
Johnny and I set off for town hand in hand.

While Ponyboy fumed over his haircut and Johnny tried to caox him I sat by myself on a bench looking out the window not really seeing anything. I needed sleep. I needed a bed. And as Johnny walked in with his blade I realized i needed a haircut.
