The pain came back to me, as I slowly rolled back into conscieness. My head throbbed, like someone was squeezing it from the outside, and at the same time ppounding it out with a hammer from the inside. It was worse then any migran I'd ever experienced, and I didn't think there was possibaly enough aspirin in all the world to subside it. Then suddenly I became aware of the rest of my body. My stomach, ribs, back, everything thing the could possibally hurt....hurt. I rolled to my side (qickly deciding against rolling again.), and doubled over in pain. I felt a hand on my back, rubbing up and down lightly, with the lack of pressure most would have appiled. And instantly I know who was sitting with me...where ever I was. With my eyes closed, red spots shot zig zagging from left to right, as if dancing in my eyelids. I bit my lips trying to surpress a maon, but it was impossiable. "Shhhh..it's ok baby. I know it hurts Munchkin, but everything gonna be alright now." The voice was gentle, no louder then the winds whisper through tree on a fall day, but it offered a world of comferate.
"Johnny, it hurts so bad." I didn't even try to blink back the tears that were spilling out of my eyes, it would have been a effort made in vain. But more instance and throbbing then pain, was my fear. I was terrified of what had happen, scared witless. "I couldn't see them coming at first becuase of the rain. Then they were all around me. The guy named Bob Sheldon from school, he held me and i tried to get away really I did. Then they knock me down, and started kicking at me, Johnny. It felt like a thousand knives all over my body.Then...." My voice trailed off and broke in a sudden sob. The memory of Jeff touching me, kissing my skin...it was to much. I felt tained, ruined. If it had been any of the other guys, they would have gathered me in their arms, and hush my cries, then refused to let me go on with my story. But Johnny had lived this. He know the only way to stop the tears was to let them run. He reached out a warm hand and lightly started runing it slowly over my blond hair. It was about three minutes before i found my voice, and shakily I told him about how Jeff had touched me. His eyes went wide, and for the first time since i met Johnny Cade there was anger in them. Not even when he parents beat him did his eyes blaze like this. No then they were just sad and broken, round shells of nothing. I can't stand seeing that look in his eyes – eveyone else's woulda been fien, just not Johnny Cade's.
"How long have I been...a...sleeping?" I lifted a haking hand, and wiped dry my cheeks the best i could manage. Johnny grinned slightly, osing the look he'd held a few seconds before. "Just long enough to gain the nickname Sleepin' Beauty from Steve. About 2 hours. We were starting to wonder if we should take you t'the hospital. Dal's really mad, soon as he saw ya he wanted to go out and beat the tar outta Jeff. Two-Bit and Darry had to hold him back, till he calmed down enough to think." I opened my mouth to question how Dal had known who it was then closed it shortly. I didn't even have to ask. But there was something I wanted to know. "Johnny who found me? I mean I remember getting picked up and put in the car but I couldn't tell who it was." My head was pounding and each word was extermly carfully spoken. He ran a bronze hand though his black hair, which was falling in whisps into his eyes.
"Two-Bit had headed over to the DX after school, and when he showed up without you steve and Soda chewed him out. Guess they couldn't believe he'd leave the girl he lo—the girl who's his best friends out in the pouring rain. So as soon as they got off their shift they picked Pony up at the school, track was cancled by the way, and were heading back hoping to find ya. And I guess it's a good thing they did. Two-Bit's really torn up, he thinking it's his fault. Anyways..." Something clicked in my head then, and I blurted quickly, "You know about Two-Bit lov...ummm...loving me?" I started to wonder if it had been obesive to everyone except me. Or maybe it was just Johnny who picked up on things everyone else over looked. He was blushing now, and I grinned slightly. "Johnny, how long have you known?" I was curious just who blind I truly was, had I not noticed this for months. "I dunno Ally, I mean..." i gave him one of 'those' looks that I was famouse for. The 'stop stalling and tell me what you know.' One that usually worked on everyone except Darry. He cleared his throat and figetted nervously, and I was once againg aware of my throbbing head. "About 3 years." If my whole body hadn't feel like a ton of lead I would have jumped out of my skin that very moment. Three years! My head kept screaming over and over, and if you never experienced a screaming head that felt like it was bein hammered, your lucky. Three years ago...our first kiss. I burried my head in the pillow, this was way to much information to be digestion all at once. "Am I the only blind one?" I really wasn't expecing an answer, and his silence was welcomed.
The next time I opened my weary eyes the throbbing in my had had vanished, along with the golden sun. I felt like shit...and I knew I looked it to. At first when the empty chair came into my vision, my feelings twaged and I felt a little hurt. Someone had alwasy been with Johnny. Ok so maybe I was AS bad off as Johnny, but still a girl feelings can get real hurt when something like that happens. That's when I noticed a piece of folded notebook paper standing out against the brown wood. Alexa. My name was printes neatly on the cover, and I reached out a shaking hand.
Unfolding the paper, I propted myself up a little higher on the pillows and began to read.
Ally,
By the time you read this, I'll already be gone. Which knowing you I a good thing, cuz you'd skin me if I was still there when you read this. I'm sorry I let this happen to you, I feel really bad. And I know it's my fault. I coulda made you ride home with me, thrown you in the truck and locked the door. Propably woulda been considered kidnappin' but hey, what I wouldn't do for you. Hehe. I'm leaving town for a few days, I need to get some things straightened out. I'll be back soon, stay outta trouble. I love you Alexa, and I always will. Yours, Two-Bit.
My breath came out in short gasps, and I thought I was gonna cry again. But I wouldn't let myself. I wouldn't do it. I re-read the note over and over again at least a thousand time times before it all really set in. And when it did it hit me like a ton of bricks. I didn't know what to do, tere was only one thing I could do..."SODAPOP!"
