Summary
Johnny is dying, and there’s nothing Ponyboy can do about it. He’s not even dead, yet Ponyboy feels as though he’s already grieving. When that falling beam hit Johnny, Pony knew deep down that he would die. When his brothers cried with him in the waiting room, and when they took him home, and when he showered properly for the first time in a week, and when he woke up and made breakfast in the morning. He knew Johnny would die. He’s preparing for the rumble, and still knows that Johnny’s gonna die. Seeing Johnny earlier that day just affirmed what he already knew.
