Chapter 4: Back to the Church
Pony's POV

Days later I'm finally at home safe with my brothers. I had recently heard that Mr. Samson had been sent home as well. I had plans that day tp go the brunt church, but had make them around when Darry and Soda were at church. I knew that Darry would never have me let go up there. I knew had no choice but go back and beside was for Johnny.

I sat at the kitchen table eating my eggs as Soda and Darry got ready for work. As Darry walked in the room I quickly look down my eggs and I put a fork full eggs in my mouth. " Take care yourself Buddy" Darry tell me as he grabs his keys and shoving them in his pocket. " Two-bit will be here look after you".

What does he think I'm a baby? Oh well, he mean well. Then it hit me, how would I get the church with Two-bit here? Maybe he would understand and come with me. Or Maybe he just forget to come over? He did that sometimes, okay he does that a lot.

Soon after Soda and Darry left for work I was washing the dish and listen to the radio. I was hoping that Two-bit wouldn't show up. I soon found that I was right and I headed to the church. I would be back by supper, so Darry wouldn't find out a thing.

I rode a bus there, it is too long of a drive but was long enough. I soon got off and went back up the place I thought I would never return. This time I made the way up here alone and sacred. It seem to be the longest walk of my life. You know how it is when you are scared of something that is going to happen, and now you have no choice, that seem to be forever until you get there or happen. But when you don't know what to do.

Soon the church came into my view and quickly head over to it. It was indeed brunt down but some of it still remain. I walked closer to it and that was when I heard the vice. " Ponyboy… you came… to help me..." the voice called out but I couldn't tell where it was coming from and why did sound like Johnny's voice too?

" What? Who are you?… Where are you?" I called out hoping the voice could hear me and answer me.

"I'm in here Pony, Hurry quickly in the church" the voice called.

" Are you in the Church?" I asked it.

" Yes… Now hurry" the voice said to me, it sound so much like Johnny but how do I know if it is.

" Who are you?" I asked as I ran up to the brunt down Church.

" I'm surprise at you, not knowing your own best buddy" the voice said to me.

" Johnny? Is it really you?" I asked, feel that funny lump in your throat before you start crying.

" Yea its me" Johnny's voice called out to me.

" Wait, are you the ghost that was in the bathroom? So I'm not crazy?" I called out to him.

" Yep your not Crazy, man" Johnny answers me.

" Can I see you?" I asked him.

" You can always see me Pony. When ever you want too. Just call my name" Johnny tells me.

" I mean, can I see you now?" I said.

" Sure just come in the church. I'm here" Johnny tells me and I ran up to the church and goes inside.

" Huh, Johnny I can't see you" I called out, waiting for his answer over just show himself.

"Think harder" He says to me.

" What on earth are you talking about?" I asked him.

" Your smart you should know. I'm only in your head maybe. Think about that" Johnny says. " I have to go now".

" Wait no Johnny! I have so many questions to ask you" I said hopeing he wouldn't leave me again. But I was to late he's gone for now.

That's all for now PLZ R&R
