Chapter 10; Behind Bars

"The bag is mine," Johnny said, looking the cop in the eye. It was quiet in the night, except for sirens of police cars far off. The wind slowly blew my hair as I looked at Johnny in disbelief.

"Johnny, no…" I whispered. The cop looked at Johnny, whose face remained expressionless.

"Alright, come on," The cop said, approaching Johnny instead of me. Johnny didn't resist as he was put in cuffs.

"Hey, what's goin' on man?" A voice asked. I turned and Dally was walking up to us, as they put Johnny in the back seat of the cop car.

"Hey man what are you doin' with Johnny?" Dally said and approached the car.

"Hey what the fuck!" He exclaimed when he got no answers, from me or the cops. He started towards the car. I held him back.

"Dallas, Dally, no…" I said softly. Dally and I watched the cops drive away with Johnny in the back seat.

When they were out of sight, Dally asked,

"Charlie, what the hell happened?"

"S-some guy, I think his name was Greg we knew him from Tim's and Buck's parties," I stopped to sniff. "He-he came up to us, handed me this bag, I didn't know what was in it, but he ran away and then the cops came. They looked in the bag and it was cocaine, and they tried to take me away, the guy-Greg-he framed me! But Johnny wouldn't let them… h-he told the cops it was his, and they took him away, Dally, Johnny's in jail!" I said, half crying the whole time.

"That bastard!" Dally growled. I started to cry.

"Hey, it's okay, Johnny'll be fine and I'm gonna kick that guys ass!" Dally said, hugging me.

I cried onto his jacket. I knew it wasn't my fault, but I couldn't help but think that it was.

"Come on, I'm taking you to the Curtis's house, and then I'm gonna find Greg," Dally said. I followed him to the Curtis house. When we walked in, Darry, Soda, Ponyboy, Steve and Two-Bit were there. They took one look at my sad expression and Dally's pissed one and asked,

"What the hell happened?"

"It's Johnny, some guy gave Charlie and Johnny a bag of cocaine and the cop thought it was Charlie's and he tried to take her away, but Johnny told the cop it was his and now he's in jail, so I'm going to kick the guy's ass!" Dally growled and left the house.

"Oh my god, Charlie is that really what happened?" Darry asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Well, you're gonna stay here tonight, and tomorrow we're gonna go see Johnny."

"Thanks, Dar."

That night, pretty much everyone was staying at the Curtis house. I slept on the couch, Steve slept on the other couch, and Two-Bit slept on the floor while the brothers slept in their rooms. I could barely fall asleep. I knew I didn't have to worry about Dally, he could kick anyone's ass, but I was worried about my little Johnnycake being in prison all night by himself.

The next morning I was the one to wake everyone up. I had to see Johnny.

"Come on guys, let's get a move on!" I yelled, walking around the house with my shoes already on.

"Let's go, rise and shine, despertar!" I yelled, walking around the living room and the bedrooms. Despartar meant wake up in Spanish. I was getting pissed off with everyone just grumbling and only trying to get up, not actually doing it, so I started cursing and things in different languages.

"Obtenir vos ânes paresseux hors du lit ! I finally yelled, which meant "Get your lazy asses out of bed !" In French. That got them up.

Finally about an hour later, we were at the police station and I was talking to Johnny. I had seen to many movies, I thought we would either talk in a room with guards around us or through one of those phone things. No, we talked in a room, but we were surprisingly alone.

"Oh Johnny, why did you do it?" I asked.

"The bag wasn't yours," He said.

"But it wasn't yours either!" I said.

"I couldn't let you go to jail."

"Glory Johnny, why are you so good to me?" I asked, grabbing hold of his hand.

"Because, I don't want to lose you, and you deserve it," He said. I smiled through some stray tears and kissed him.

Then a cop came in and said my time was up. I didn't want to leave Johnny, but he assured me that he'd be fine.

It was about a month later, and every say of that month I had missed Johnny so badly that it hurt. I was only allowed to see him once a week. A month, that's how long it had taken Dally to find that guy Greg.

When he found him, I was with him.

We were walking down to the Dingo and we saw him, just standing there outside talking to some guys.

"Dally," I said. "Dally, that's the guy, that's Greg!" I exclaimed and pointed at him.

Dally looked at him and made a funny noise. Then He marched right over to the guy, me at his heel.

"Hey asshole!" Dally yelled and punched the guy in the mouth before he could answer. Greg fell to the ground. When he got up he said

"Hey man, what's your problem?"

"What's my problem? What the fuck is your problem, man? You gave my sister a bag of cocaine and it got her boyfriend sent to jail because of it!" Dally yelled at Greg, gesturing to me. I smirked at him. I was kinda proud that Dally told the guy I was his sister.

"Oh, shit…" The guy said gesturing to me, but before he could say anything else, Dally punched him in the head again, knocking him out.

Dally didn't even hesitate to drag him all the way to the police station. Every time I saw Dally doing something like his, I was glad I never made him mad.

When we got to the police station, the chief said,

"Winston, what the hell did you do this time?"

"This guy is the one that those drugs belonged to! You got Johnny Cade in jail and he needs to get out because this is the guy that dropped those drugs on my sister and Johnny, and then he ran away! Johnny and her didn't even know what was in the bag!" Dally explained.

The cop looked skeptic, but somehow we got a trial scheduled.

It was about a week later. Greg admitted to it because Dally glared at him dangerously from across the courtroom. All I had to do was tell what happened that night.

Same with Johnny. And Greg had to tell the truth, because like I said, he was afraid of Dally.

We waited anxiously for the verdict. Finally the judge said,

"Defendant guilty, Mr. Cade will be released."

I leapt up and cheered, along with Dally.

Johnny was free! I ran up to him and hugged him.

"Johnny, don't ever do anything like that again, okay?" I said. Before he could answer, Dally came up and said,

"Johnny man, do that ever again and Charlie and I will both kick you in the pants you hear?"

Johnny nodded.

"I won't, I promise."

Outside the courthouse, we watched Greg get put in the cop car and be driven to the cooler. Dally and I kindly flipped him off while he was looking out the window at us.

Johnny laughed and kissed me.

When we arrived back at the Curtis house, Everyone practically tackled Johnny, greeting him.

"Johnnycake!" Two-Bit yelled.

Finally, when everyone was done suffocating Johnny, we sat on the couch and I tried to explain to everyone how the trial went. Two-Bit didn't get it, though.

"Okay Two-Bit, Greg admitted to the drugs, so he got sent to jail," I said.

"Why did he admit to it?" Two-Bit asked.

"Because Dally made him," I said.

"Dally was the judge?" Two-Bit asked, genuinely surprised.

"No, fool! You f—Man, I'm gonna go crazy here in a minute," I said, sighing.

Everyone laughed at Two-Bit's expense. About 20 minutes later, after silence, Two-Bit said,

"Ohhh, I get it now," And everyone was sent into laughter again.

I had to laugh too. Nothing could have made me mad, Johnny was home.

Alrighty! Chapter 10. Hope it was okay. I dunno when the next one will be out, to tell you the truth I'm kinda losing interest in this story. But I'll try to get the next one out soon.
