~*~*~*~*~*~*~Chapter 16: What Things?~*~*~*~*~*~*~

^^Johnny's POV

          I looked around the room, wondering where Soda took Bleu. They just left a minute ago, and it already seems as if they were gone an hour. Darry and Steve also left to go to work; Steve said he'd tell the boss Soda was running late.

          All of a sudden Two-Bit jumped up. "I'm gonna go find Soda and Bleu. You two wanna come with?"

          Pony and I stood up too. I looked at Ponyboy and he nodded. "Yeah. Let's go."

          We all hopped into Two-Bit's car and he started up the engine. "Where do you think they are?" I asked.

          "Well, they probably went to look for Tim and Pete, right? So think of someplace isolated, pretty far from here…any ideas?"

           Suddenly something popped into my mind and I knew it had to be right. "The church!" I cried, startling Pony so much he nearly fell out of the car.

^^Two-Bit's POV

I pulled into a nearby gas station and stared at Johnny in bewilderment. What the hell is he talking about?

Johnny stared at Ponyboy and I as if he had just said the simplest thing on earth. "The church!" he repeated, "Dally was talking to his cousin Geri one night and she told him if he ever got into anymore trouble with the cops, there was this old abandoned church in Windrixville that he could hide out in!"

"You mean the same one Pony took us too? When Soda and Steve dropped that book and every one looked at us?"

"Yeah, you moron, and you waved to them!" Ponyboy laughed.

"No, no, no!" Johnny interrupted, getting frustrated, "That wasn't in Windrixville! This church is off of some mountain…John's I think? Jonah's?"

"Jay's Mountain!" Pony and I cried at the same time, and Johnny nodded furiously. "Yeah! Come on, let's go!"

"Don't need to tell me twice," I growled, and started up the engine.

^^Bleu's POV

          There was a small pond nearby and I knelt by the edge of the water. I stroked the water with my finger, watching it spread away from me. It reminded me of how I had just pushed everyone away from me.

          I felt the grass and dirt sink beside me as Dally knelt down. I looked the other way, and found myself gazing at Tim. He raised an eyebrow and pointed at Dally, and his eyes said, you wanted to talk to him! Here's your chance!

          I gulped and turned to Dally. His blue eyes shone with concern and regret, some things I never thought I would see in him.

          He stared at the water. "Bleu," he said hoarsely, "Bleu, I'm real sorry for getting so mad at you. An-And, Cherry…" he trailed off and buried his head in his hands. "I just get so messed up some times. I've worked so hard to be the toughest greaser around and I finally got used to it. I try and not care about anyone but myself but it doesn't always work out that way. Believe it or not, I care about somethings."

          "What things?" I asked, slowly looking at him. He moved his hands and looked into my eyes.

          "More like some ones," he replied softly, "You and Johnnycake are the people I care most about."

          I felt like I was going to cry. I raised my eyebrows as far as they would go and smiled. Before he could say anything more, I flung my arms around him and sobbed into his shoulder.

          "I'm sorry too Dally!" I bawled, "I just thought ever since I came here I've been a nuisance to everybody!"

          "Damn girl!" Tim finally spoke up, "A nuisance? Hell, you're the best thing that happened to us greasers!"

          "Yeah Bleu! We all love you!" I heard Soda pipe up.

          "Yeah, Bleu," Dally whispered in my ear, "I love you."

AWWWW! I know this is like, MEGA short but I thought that was the best place to end it…doesn't it make you wanna cry and kiss Dally? AWWWWWWW! LOL Thank you for reading! (Don't worry this isn't the end) Please Review!!!!!!!!!

          And I named Dally's cousin Geri (my name! Hehe) because in yet another of my Outsiders stories involves Dally's cousin falling in love with Tim. I don't know if I'll post it or not…maybe after I finish this story.
