~SODAPOP POV~

After We had all calm down, Pony turned and looked at us.

"We need to find Johnny." Ponyboy told us.

We all nodded as we began to walk. Steve suddenly stopped and looked at the ground. He bent over and picked up Johnny's Jean jacket.

I noticed blood on the ground. Steve took off running. Once we reach the lot, I ran and lifted up Johnny.

Johnny looked horrible. I can hardly tell it was him.

"Johnny what happened?" Darry asked.

I expected him to say the Socs but he didn't.

"My... Parents." He gasped.

Johnny kept getting paler and paler by the second. I lifted up his shirt and saw a gruesome cut on his stomach.

"Oh my gosh!" Two-bit yelped.

"Don't worry Jonnycake, will get you home and—"

Johnny stopped me and gave me a sad smile.

"It's fine Soda." Johnny said.

"No Johnny, it's not fine!" Pony yelled. "Julie is dead! Dally is dead! You can't die too!"

"What's the point?" he asked.

We sat in shock before Johnny spoke again, this time weaker.

"I'm gonna miss you guys."

Before any of us could say anything Johnny
mumbled one last word.

"Julie."

And just like his sister, he laid down for a peaceful death.
