Chapter 9- All Because Of Me
** Ponyboy's POV **
I thought about going in the woods to smoke but I saw adults around watching kids. I'm sitting on the edge of the dock looking out into a rive or maybe it is a pond. Well it was really beautiful, I never saw any real rivers back in Tulsa. Heck I didn't see a river at all, not even a pond. I was really craving for a smoke and I know I can not last long. Damn it Darry why did you send me here??
" Hey. Do you happen to have a lighter?" I heard a voice behind me that made me jump. It was the boy that was in the car. He had a cancer stick in his hand. I really didn't know if that kid wanted to get introuble or was just plain brave.
" Yeah" I said while taking my lighter that Dally gave me a long time ago out of my pocket and throwing it to him.
" Thanks" He mumbled while lighting his stick. He was dark like Johnny. He looked a lot like Johnny.......Don't think about Johnny......
" You ok?" He asked. I nodded my head yes.
" Your name Ponyboy?" He asked. He didn't seem like a messed up kid to me.
" Yeah"
" That's a cool name. I heard the Mr.Head guy saying your name to some other person" He took one last huff of his stick and threw it on the ground,grinded it with his shoe heel. I didn't want to make friends with anybody here, but he did seem cool to me. Reminded me somewhat of the guys back home.
" What's your name?" I asked politely.
" Jacob" He said,then added " but everyone calls me J.C." I didn't say anything, I didn't know what to say.
" Same initials as Johnny.........." I thought.
"........the rest of my things. Seeya around Ponyboy" I realized that J.C. was talking.
" Seeya" I called back to him.
I turned my attention back to the river. I wish I was home. I wish I wasn't here. I rather be home getting yelled at by Darry then being here; this strange place. This is the first time I've been away from home. Other then the country back in Oklahoma, where I went with my parents back then. I started thinking about all the things that really brought me here in Mt.Horizon. All the problems started when I lost mom and dad. Then Darry had to take care of me and Sodapop. He gave up his dreams of going to college, gave up mainly his life because of me and Sodapop. Sodapop dropped out of school to get more money in the house for Darry. They both taking care of me, making sure I don't get introuble and get good grades. Then Darry hit me, I went to the park with Johnny, he killed a soc cause that soc was drowning me. We ran away to a church, then the church caught on fire and we went to go save those kids. Did he have to? No, but I wanted to, so Johnny followed me, the roof clasped with Johnny still in there. He died because it was my fault. Then Dally died because he couldn't take Johnny dying. Johnny was the only thing he loved and I took that away from him. Dally got himself killed by the police........all because of me. I ended up turning into more of a hoodlum and started to do drugs. Darry freaked and sent me here..........why?........all because of me.
