Chapter Eleven

The Church and Fire!

(June's POV)

Dally woke me up the next day and we drove away in Buck's T-Bird,

"Does Darry know where you are?" Dally asked.

"No and I wasn't planning on him finding out."

"Damn! You and Ponyboy want my ass kicked or something?" He said and we drove on.

"Dally?"

"What?"

"Where are we going?" I asked as he parked the car on some big hill and we got out.

"This is where I hid them. They're up the road some, in an old church." We walked for a while and I saw it. When we found a way in through a broken window I saw them stretched out on benches.

"Hey blonde." He said grinning.

"Hi Dallas." Pony looked up at me, "Hey June."

"Hey Pony."

"Johnny get up man!" Dallas kicked his Chair.

"Hey Dal." When he looked over and saw me he rushed over.

"Johnny!" I wrapped my arms around him and he hugged me. "God I missed you! I was so worried!" I said and let go.

"I missed you too, I'm sorry I worried you." He said to me.

"I got a special delivery for you Pony." Dally handed him a letter.

"Who's it from?" Ponyboy asked.

"The College of Wyoming….It's from your brother Sodapop."

"How'd he know?"

"Didn't believe me when I said I didn't know where you two were. Told me to give that to you." We left the building and headed back to Buck's car.

"How have you been June?" Johnny asked.

"Better, but Sara left this morning. She had to go home." I said.

"Hey Johnny! Your sister can fight man! She wrestled Two-Bit for the remote last night, broke Steve's nose while you were gone!" Dally said happily on our way down the dirt road.

"Hey, my show was on and I always watch it! I would've killed him for it!" I crossed my arms. "Steve deserved that!" I said louder.

"What he do?" Johnny asked.

"Said some things, resulted in a broken nose. Two-Bit's just a pain and he made me miss my show!" We finally pulled into the Darry Queen (we arrived there by magic! lol) and Dally ordered us food.

"I didn't tell you guys. There's going to be a rumble between us and the Soc's tomorrow night in the lot." Dally said.

"Wait! When did this happen!" I asked.

"Last night, when you decided to kill Two-Bit."

"How come you didn't tell me?" I was slightly mad.

"You were too busy beating up Two-Bit," Dally said. "Anyway that redhead I tried to pick up at the movie's is our spy and she'll testify against the Soc's for you."

"We're going to go back and turn ourselves in." Johnny said.

"What?" Dal asked.

"We have a good chance of being let off easy, Cherry said she'll tell them that. It isn't fair for Pony to always be getting in trouble, and I'll give you back that gun so you can't get into trouble again."

"Are you sure this is really what you want to do?" Dally asked.

"Yes." Johnny said. "I'll guess our folks haven't even asked about me."

"Johnny! We have been worried! Not our parents!" I spoke up.

"June! Stay out of this!" Dally yelled at me, and I backed down. Him I was afraid of. "I get you a hideout and now you want to throw it away, this is just fucking perfect!" He drove away and back to the church. "Look Johnny, I just don't want you to get hard and cold like me. Jail will do that to you."

"HOLY SHIT!" I screamed. "THE CHURCH GUYS!" I jumped out of the side of the car before it slowed down and ran to the nearest adult. "What happened?" I asked her.

"We were on a picnic and than all of a sudden the church was in flames! Some of the kids are missing!" She said and I ran for the church. (decided not to make it Pony's idea ^-^, she's the main character so she is the big hero!)

"June! Get away from there!" Dally yelled. "Ponyboy! Get back here or I'll-JOHNNY! I'm horrible with kids. GET YOUR FUCKING ASSES BACK HERE!" But I was already in the church before Johnny or Pony reached me. Towards the back were five little kids.

"I'm going to get you out! Just relax and everything will be fine!" I shouted and they did. I kicked the boards of the window off and pushed them through. Once I picked up the last girl, a piece of wood fell, blocking our way out. "Hold on!" She did and I ran through the burning building.

"JUNE!" Johnny and Pony were next to me. "GET OUT! THIA PLACE IS GOING TO COLLAPSE ANY SECOND!" We ran as fast as we could. Placing the girl on my back, I punched a half-flamed plank, and jumped out of the window that was also in half-flames. Landing on my stomach, I stood up and grabbed the girl off my back and brought her by the teachers. Than Dally ran pasted me and dragged a knocked out Ponyboy.

"HELP!" Johnny screamed.

"I'M COMING JOHNNY!" Dally yelled, pushing me back and rushing through the building.

"Pony! Ponyboy! Wake up! Please!" I said kneeling by him.

"Miss, you have to come with us. We need to look you over." An EMT said.

"I'm fine! Where's Johnny and Dally?" I asked.

"The other two still haven't made it out yet, now come with us miss." They dragged me away and I saw Dally with Johnny Lying by the window.

"JOHNNY!" I ran over to him. "JOHNNY SAY SOMETHNIG! PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD! PLEASE!" I screamed and the EMT took me away again and put me on a stretcher, and brought me into the ambulance. "I'm fine! Please that's my brother!"

"Miss you have to calm down." I calmed down until we reached the hospital and they reached the hospital and they rolled e into a room. The doctor looked me over.

"Hmm, just a sprained wrist, which I can wrap up and you may leave. Other than that you have no need to be here." He wrapped up my arm and said to go back to the doctor in about a week. Then I left and found Ponyboy sitting in the waiting room with a man.

"Pony?"

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine just some small burns and a sprained wrist. What about you?"

"Got a bruise on my back and some small burns." I sat down next to him. "Darry and Soda are on their way."

"We are already here Pone." We turned and saw, Darry, Soda, and Ryan.

"Soda!" Pony ran to him and I stood up.

"June, are you okay?" Ryan asked and gave me a hug. He was shaking like a leaf.

"I'm okay."

"Don't scare me like that. I thought you ran off again." He said. I looked up at him, still hugging him.

"I'm alright, a little crazy though."

"You have to be, jumping into burning building."

"Well than call me crazy." I said and he hugged me again, but he was still shaking. "Calm down. I'm fine and alive."

"I know, but could've died and you really had me scared."

"Look at me." He looked at me and I saw the fear in his eyes. "I'm fine, just a sprained wrist." He looked like he was about to get upset.

"I know."

"Need another hug?" he nodded and I hugged him. After a few minuets he let go, than I was attacked by Soda as he spun me around.

"You had as all worried!" Soda put me down and Darry hugged me too.

"I'm sorry." I said as we all sat down waiting to hear about Johnny and Dally. Than the reporters came to talk to us, but it got boring and I fell asleep.

Darry shook me a wake, what seemed like seconds later.

"June, come on it's time to go."

"I want to see Johnny I'm his sister." I said to the doctor and he lead me to Johnny's room. I saw Johnny, he was burnt to a crisp all over his body.

"He's got a broken back and hardly anyone survives from it. If he does than he'll never be able to walk again." the doctor left and I felt my face grow pale.

"Oh, Johnny. It's all my fault!" I said and sat in a chair. Darry stood in front of me and made me stand up.

"Come on, it's time to go." I didn't move.

"I can't Darry. He was here for me, and I have to be there for him."

"I know you want to stay, but you're staying at my house and I say that you have to come home." With that we left for the truck. After we dropped off Ryan, we went home. I went right to my room and fell asleep.

There was a loud crash and I woke up with a jolt. Walking into the living room I saw Two-Bit and Pony wrestling on the floor.

"Two-Bit get off him! I said and he got off and he ran and squeezed me, so hard it was seriously hurting. Looking over at Darry with pleading eye's.

"Two-Bit let her go! You're hurting her!" Darry yelled and he let go, I dropped into the chair. "You okay?"

"I'll be okay….just don't…do it again…Two-Bit." I said between small gasps.

"Where do you hurt?" Darry asked.

"All over. Thanks Two-Bit, I really appreciate that!" I said in an angry voice.

"I'm sorry." Darry handed me a glass of water and a bottle of aspirin. Taking two, I leaned back in the chair. It didn't hurt this much last night.

"I should take the day off." Darry said.

"I'll watch them, Superman." Two-Bit.

"We don't need a sitter! Two-Bit's a grabber! I snapped.

"Today you do. Thanks Two-Bit. I'll see you all later!" They all left for work.

"Fuck! Two-Bit was that necessary?" I yelled. "Are you trying to get revenge at me?" I stretched out and groaned in pain.

"Are you sure your alright? Because you don't sound okay." Pony asked.

"I'll be okay, just don't hug me anymore." I stood and slowly made my way to the kitchen. The door shot open and I was tackled by someone again.

"Get….off!" I said and they let me, I fell to the floor with a thud. Turning over to my back I looked up and saw Ryan. "Thanks Ryan." I said and went back to the chair. "Fuck."

"Are you okay?" Ryan asked sitting on the arm rest.

"I'll be fine. Just stop jumping on me. First Two-bit over there and than you. Are we going to see Johnny and Dally today? Asked.

"Yeah. If you're up to it." Two-Bit said. "But I don't think you should go the way you are."

"I'm going! He's my brother." I spat forcibly.

"Calm down!" He said. "June, go and get changed, Your still in the cloths from the fire." I went to get dressed. I only wore sweat pants and a T-shirt, that's all I could wear without making my boyd hurt anymore than it already does.

"Ready?" They asked, I nodded and we left.
