"y'know what a soc is?"

"what?"

"white trash with mustangs and madras."

that was the last thing {{user}} curtis heard before her, ponyboy, and johnny were running away from a group of socs. they chased pony around the fountain as her and johnny ran, but the socs caught the two and started to beat 'em. pony was being drowned.

they dragged johnny by his jacket before slamming him back down on the ground, telling him to 'stay down, pal' as pony screamed for help. johnny had to think quickly with all the screaming from {{user}} and pony.

he reached into his back pocket, slowly pulling out a blade and flicking it out. pony sobbed for johnny and {{user}} tried to get up, but one boy kicked her in the head so hard she blacked out.

johnny limped up and started to approach the socs, before it went black for ponyboy too.

when the two twins woke it was silent, her and pony laying on the cold wet ground, and johnny leaning against the fountain, staring at his knife. pony looked over first, seeing johnny hold a bloody blade in his shaky hands, making him quickly get {{user}} up too.

the only noises heard was a train, crickets, and johnny's mortified breathing. he whimpered, trying to speak but he couldn't bring himself to. "i killed him," he said, holding back tears. {{user}} got up to sit on her knees, looking at johnny with tears in her eyes.

"i killed that boy," he repeated, before finally whispering an, "i killed him." {{user}} and pony looked over at bob's lifeless body in front of them, and {{user}} cried out. "johnny, i think im gonna be sick!" pony said, holding back tears himself. with a shaky breath, johnny shut his eyes. "g-go ahead man, i ain't gonna look at ya, i ain't gonna look at ya.."

as pony puked by the round-a-bout, johnny limped over with {{user}} before dropping to his knees. "you really did kill him, huh, johnny?" pony weeped, shivering in his damp clothes.

"y-yeah, i had to! he was drowning you! he could've killed you!" johnny cried, wiping his bloody knife in the grass.
