Living in the past

by Just obsessed

Their lives are almost back to the way it was. But something felt wrong, like someone was missing. A crazy girly part of them was no longer there. What happens when Ember and most of the gang keep getting flash backs of the past. The only ones who actually remember are Soda, Pony, Johnny and Dally. Will they be able to get their memories or did they just imagine everything?

5. Chapter 5

Hello my lovelies, I've been obsessing over Adventure time and Anime especially Ouran, and of course my fan-girling. So how's your summer? Good new's I got my first B ever in math or "algebra" this year. And yeah. If you guys review more I'll update more. So here's another of my rare chapters written at like 12:00 a.m so there's going to be the noticeable randomness. I wish I owned Le outsiders (fancy french in your face, just kidding.) For chapter 5.

Chapter 5. Theories and Things

Ember's P.O.V

The night was peaceful until the soc's came but the peacefulness resumed after the other gang told us to leave. Johnny and I walked a little slower than the rest so we could finish our conversation.

"So where were we?" I asked

"You were telling me I wasn't going crazy and something else." He looks at the ground and into my eyes. So many things unclear and the weirdness it feels missing a pretty important part of your life missing. I try to find the words in my mind, but what would you do, I mean what would you really really do?

"Johnny when I told you my dream. D-did that really happen?" We look up at the stars as we walk getting a glance from Darry and Dally here and there to make sure we weren't doing any funny business. He looks at me straight in the eye sighing like he really wants to tell me something but something's holding him back.

"Yeah, it did. You saved Pony from drowning in a lake and blacked out when we dragged you both out from the water but." He stopped looking at me, something is holding you back.

"Johnny is there anything else?" I plead. I need to know what happened to. He turns his head to the ground and slide's his hands into his pocket and catches up to Ponyboy. Darry slows his pace and waits for me.

"There's just a lot on his mind right now, trying to figure things out. You probably got him to talk the most since you came here." Darry puts a hand on my shoulder, I don't know why but it makes me feel safe or comforted. Either way, I like that feeling.

"Darry do you know what he's talking about?" I look up to him but he shakes his head a little.

"It feels like I know you from a dream or something. A dream that I remember very little of, the part's I remember are blurred and un-trusting." He rubs my head and that feeling comes back, making me smile a little. The rest of the walk is silent for me, why can't I remember? I stop in my tracks and hear a weird beep noise in my ears like they're buzzing. But I ignor it and move on almost at their house. I walk up their steps and for some reason it felt like I have done it several times before. I look around and see Dally, Steve, and Pony in the living room and hear Soda and Two-bit in the kitchen. Where's Darry and Johnny?

Johnny's P.O.V

Darry and I are the first to enter the house, he asks me to tell him everything now so we go into his room for privacy. I awkwardly sit on the bed while he paces back and forth like a drill Sargent.

"Johnny this is messing with my head please tell me what happened."

"Well Pony and I saw a movie and some how we were transported to a empty park in the future. Ember saw us with her bow and arrow, you guys came in and caught up with the soc's. They tried to drown Pony and threw him into a lake but Ember rescued him and-"

"And she blacks out we start hanging out with her right?." He finishes.

Darry's P.O.V

I feel like I was punched in the face because all of a sudden these sounds of words and laughter and everything fill my mind. All of the scenes with her, no these memories.

"Johnny excuse me while I go crazy with my new energy." I bolt out of my room leaving Johnny in there. I run to the living room where I spot Ember and grab her under her arms and fling her around spinning her into a hug and running out side and around the house doing cart wheels and flips. I can see everyone looking at me with cake in their hands, they look kinda scared but right now I'm whole again and I could careless. I don't know how to explain it but I feel you know

infinite.

Ember's P.O.V

As Darry finally finishes running around like a maniac I look at the clock and past my curfew. Pfft I don't have one. I bid everyone a good night and start my "long" journey home. I feel spots of remembrance here and there but like Darry said, they were hard to trust. I await my parent's questions of my lateness, but it seems like they have gone to be- oh wait mom's up never mind. I quietly go in with a loud meow. Usually my parent's know it's me when I meow, so no worries for them yayy.

"Hey mom, go to bed you look tired." I say partially up the stairs when I hear a knock on my door. My mom answer's it.

"Ember it's your friend Johnny." My mom calls to me. I walk down the stair case

"A gentlemen caller, I thought I'd have to fill my days with song and cats to hide my loneliness." I say. He blushes a little, and my mom tells me not to stay up to late or anything like that, since you know it's only 11:42 p.m. There's a small silence between us waiting for my parent's door to click shut, then it does and we are off to safety.

"I didn't wake you or anything right?" He asks.

"Nope, not at all." More silence.

"Johnny about earlier and how we were talking about going crazy and stuff."

"Yeah?" He says sitting on the couch.

"Well I believe you." I bluntly say. His face shocked and unsure how to respond we sit there.

"I don't know how to explain it, I believe you but the way you talk about it just feels like a dream. Or we're in some random teen girl's fanfiction making it up as she goes along. But anyway I do, but it feels weird. I wish I could explain it to you in a way it makes more sense but the thing is I don't know how to. You kind of have to feel it." A smile of triumph goes across his face.

"Johnny why don't you stay here for the night, it's getting late." He looks up the stair case.

"Johnny it's fine, they like and trust you. It's all good." I see him go a little red. He thinks about it for a minute or two.

"Alright, I guess." And I bring him up to my room. The couch isn't the best place to sleep on, our couch makes rocks feel like wonders. He looks around my room where paper lanterns hang from tape and rubber bands and decorated post it notes are on my door.

"Here's the inner mechanisms of my mind." I say while pulling out the second bed out from under it's twin. I go to the hall closet and grab extra pillow's and blankets. We both climb into our beds and lay in the darkness.

Johnny's P.o.V

"Psst Ember you awake?"

"Yeah, whats up?"

"Try to remember your dream if you have one okay."

"Alright, good night Johnnycakes."

"Night miss November. That's the only thing I can think of that will rhyme with your name." There's silence once again. Until I hear humming and sit up to the point where I'm resting on a arm.

"Sorry, got a song stuck in my head. I don't know the lyrics, do you know a song that goes da daa daa da da daaAAaa da da d-aa da da ah?" She whispers.

"I might." I turn on my side smiling.

Yep she's remembering.

Ember's P.O.V

The night felt like sand in my hand, and wake up to see Johnny gone with pillows and blankets folded and the smell of pancakes. I go downstairs and see Johnny and my mom eating pancakes-chocolate chip one's too.

"Good morning, yumm pancakes." I look over at Johnny

"Did you have a dream last night Ember?"

"Yeah I did you guys were in my old house, there was fun crazy going on and Pony was fighting with this random girl and two other guys named Josh and Liam. Or something like that. I wanted to show you something so we head outside and for some reason I'm on a wooden stage and there's a crowd in front of me. I see you guys sitting in a row and the tune to the song that was stuck in my head. Then You (as I point to my mom) and dad were there and for some reason I felt like crying and I don't know why. I got into our car and I woke up."

Johnny stares at me in disbelief. My parents walk upstairs and let us have our privacy.

"Ember that, that really happened." I shake my head.

"What? Johnny are you positive?" I don't think I can believe it, my head starts getting dizzy and some of the words I was singing in the dream pop into my mind.

You should

you should not doubt me.

"Ember it did happen everything in your dream."

"Really?"

"Really."
