---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ambulance took Johnny away to the hospital and I felt so depressed and sad so lonely. I stood there and stared off in the direction he left in and felt a tear occasionally fall down my face. My shirt and hands were covered in his blood. The others were on the porch, shocked. I heard them talking but I was listening to whatever they were saying. “Jennie.” Soda called softly. I turned to him. “Come on let’s go to my house so we can go see Johnny okay?” He said trying to comfort me. I nodded, “Okay, but why do you guys want to see him?” My voice sounded weak and sad. I walked inside following them. “He’s part of our gang too.” Steve said and I could see care in his eyes. It surprised me that these guys still cared about me. “You go get cleaned up then we’ll go, okay?” Soda said and I nodded again walking up the stairs lazily. I closed the door to my room and just grabbed a sweat shirt to wear over my tank top after I took off my shirt. I cleaned the blood off my arms and hands and fixed my hair so I didn’t look completely terrible. I walked back down stairs after grabbing my combat boots. Everyone could sense I was in a lot of pain and I just couldn’t get Johnny’s words out of my head. You don’t have to try and save me. It is no use. What Johnny didn’t know was that I couldn’t live without him as much as he couldn’t live without me. I sat on the couch and pulled on my shoes. Everyone was watching me intently. They all looked worried, even Dallas who I realized was the same one that Johnny doesn’t want me to hang out with. I stood up and looked at them. “What?” I asked quietly. Soda stepped up, “Sweetie you look, like you are about to pass out are you okay?” His hands rested on my shoulders. I looked down, “No I’m not okay. My brother’s in the hospital, and if he doesn’t m-make it I’m going into a home somewhere away from my best friend.” It took a lot of effort not to break down crying while I said this. I looked back up at Soda. He gave me a hug and when he pulled back he whipped the tears off my face. “He’s gonna be okay. Your brother is strong.” He said and I nodded but I didn’t believe him. Soda turned around and crouched down. “Hop on. I can tell you won’t be able to make it to the house if you walk.” He said and I climbed on his back. We all walked out the door and I rested my head on Soda’s back. Silently I cried and Steve and Dallas never said anything about it. I knew it wasn’t tough but I didn’t care. We were about halfway there when a sudden question got my attention. “How come Johnny never told us about you?” It was Dallas. “I don’t know. Ask him, if he makes it.” I said and buried my head in Soda’s neck. “Don’t say that, Johnny is one of the toughest kids I know. He’s been through worse ya’ know?” Dal said and I nodded. “Ya, but what if he can’t live through the second near death experience. I can’t live without my brother. If Johnny dies I’ll probably go kill myself or something.” I looked at them. Steve, Ponyboy, and Dallas were on the right side of Soda and I. They all looked stunned and I could tell Soda had the same expression. “You can’t do that.” Steve said and I could see sadness in his eyes. “Why not? No one would care. My best friend would replace me and he’s the only other person I got.” I said and I wasn’t wrong. People get replaced after some time rather the other person gets bored with you or they meet another person and forget about you. I’m afraid that if Johnny lives and he gets a girl that he won’t have time for me and I’ll be replaced as the person he loves more than anything. I don’t have any other family either. Ponyboy spoke for the second time today, “You’re wrong. We would miss you.” It was quiet but everyone still heard. We all looked at him but he was only looking at me with caring eyes. He blushed when our eyes met and looked at the sidewalk. I rested my head on Soda’s back again as we approached a house that looked similar to mine.
