7. An unsuccessful search and a nightmare
At the others: Dally and Pony still searched the neighborhood for Johnny until they suddenly heard a honk behind them. Pony turned around frightened and recognized Darry's car. Two-Bit sat on the back seat and waved to them out of the window.
A slight smile ran over Ponyboy's face.
Dally stopped and they waited until Darry came to them.
"Hey." Pony greeted them. "Ya wanna also help us with the search?" he asked nearly unbelieving.
"Of course! What did ya think? Ya think seriously, we wanna let our buddy down?" Soda asked back.
Pony smiled at him.
Then they agreed to separate and search in several directions for Johnny. So they drove off and searched - in vain - for Johnny.
In the meantime it was getting dark and this made more difficult to the search. And without having achieved anything they returned again.
After Dally dropped Pony he drove off again. Pony guessed that he either would keep on searching for Johnny or would fill himself up at Buck's.
"What are we gonna do now?" Ponyboy asked desperately and dropped on the couch with a sob.
"Hey, Pony. Don't worry we're gonna find Johnny!" Soda replied, sat beside him and put a hand comforting on his shoulder.
Ponyboy shook his head, got up and murmured, "I wanna go to bed now. Good night."
And with these words he disappeared into his room.
There he lay down on his bed, folded his arms behind his head, stared at the ceiling and whispered, "Aw, Johnny, where are ya? Come back again, please... I'm so scared 'bout ya..."
Then he closed his eyes and cried as well.
He thought, thought about Johnny...
When time had come (time had come)
He made his decision (he made his decision)
Oh, Johnny was tired (oh, Johnny was tired)
And filled with desire (filled with desire)
He closed the door (he closed the door)
Stepped out into nowhere (stepped out into nowhere)
Not leaving a track (not leaving a track)
Will he ever come back
At break of day they found his letter
Few words of regret, will he never come back
Oh Johnny (oh Johnny, oh Johnny)
You never said a word (you never said a word, you never said a word)
How could we know (how could we know, how could we know)
Oh, Johnny (Johnny) please come home
Johnny Johnny come home
(Ooh Johnny, Johnny come home)
Ooh Johnny Johnny come home
Ooh Johnny Johnny come home
A/N: The song's called "Johnny, Johnny come home" and is from a former band called "Avalanche" (1989)
...and fell asleep at these thoughts!
He dreamt about Johnny:
Johnny stood in front of him; the head lowered to the ground.
"Johnny?" Pony asked him in his dream.
Then Johnny lifted his head and raised his arms so that Pony could see his palms. They bled like Jesus' stigmata. The blood slowly trickled to the ground.
Pony frightened.
Johnny looked at him and said reproachful, "Look, what you've done, Pony! What have ya just done to me?"
And then Pony woke up screaming in the middle of the night, "JOHNNY..."
He sat bolt upright in his bed, stared with tears in his eyes into the darkness and trembled.
"Hey Pony, it's all right!" Soda comforted him.
He rocked Pony, who sobbed meanwhile, back and forth until this one fell asleep again.
