Dear Journal,
Ponyboy's back! Barely alive is Johnny and Pony and Dally aren't much better but at least they are alive. According to Pony, they were hiding out in an old abandoned church in Windrixville, on top of Jay Mountain. I guess when Dally got there the three of them went out for lunch and when they came back the whole church was ablaze. Ponyboy, once again probably was clumsy and dropped a cigarette butt. There must have been a pre-school or school having a picnic around the mountain because some of the kids went inside the place and got trapped inside when the fire started. Out of the goodness of their hearts Pony and Johnny went in to save them. The door was blocked so they just threw the kids out of the window just as burning pieces of timber started to fall. The wood caught Dally on the arm and set Pony's back on fire but it's Johnny that we're worried about. A whole flaming piece of timber came crashing down on his back, probably breaking it. Most of his body is covered in third degree burns, the most severe kind. Even if he lives he'll never walk again and he'll still have to face consequences for killing that soc. However, he does have a clean record and it was in self-defence. Johnny and Pony saved those kids, so the fuzz should see that they're not that bad. Darry and Ponyboy reconciled, and I think Pony realizes just how sorry Darry is. I've never seen Darry cry before, even when Mom and Dad died. So long for now, and all I can say is to keep your fingers crossed that Johnny lives. Sodapop Curtis
