Chapter 6: The Walk
A week flew by and me and the boys had become great friends. And I think that was when I had really fallen for Johnny. He was everything I ever wished for. I wanted to hold him and make him feel better. As I walked down the dusty road to the movie house I was surprised how small the crowd was. I walked towards Ponyboy, Johnny, Dally, and Two-Bit.
"Hey guys." I said as I stopped in front of them.
"Hey Jenny" Dally said as he lit a cigarette. They were all smoking. I didn't mind them smoking but it wasn't something I was really into.
"What movie are we seeing?" I asked pushing my hair out of my face.
"We're not seeing one. There's nothing good playing. Let's go for a walk." Dally said as we all turned around to start our walk. Two-Bit left with a girl soon after we started walking. So Ponyboy, Dally, Johnny, and I were left to the walk. Pony and Dally walked in front as Johnny and I walked slowly behind.
"Hey Johnny" I said as I looked up at him. He looked up from the ground and smiled at me.
"Hey Jenny" He said softly.
"Are you going home after?" I asked him. My aunt didn't really care where I was. She told me that if I'm not home in less then two days of being away she'd come looking for me.
"No. My folks are in a fight. They'll get me involved if I go back. I'm staying at the lot." Johnny said coldly. He hated talking about his parents.
The lot was a place right down the street from his house. It had a fire pit with a few old car seats and newspapers. It was a great place to get away and spend the night. It was Johnny's place when his folks were fighting, which was always.
"You mind if I stay with you, Johnny? I don't really feel like going back to my aunt's tonight." I asked. I was hoping he would say yes.
"Yeah. I need the company anyway." He said as he kicked a stone on the road and then looked up and smiled at me. I smiled back at him.
"Come on you two! I changed my mind. We're going to The Dingo for some food. My treat!" Dally yelled back at us.
