ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER DALLY AND JOHNNY'S DEATHS

"Flight 337 to Oklahoma City is now boarding."

I stoOd up "that's me!" I say to my four friends; Halle, Wendy, Shannon and Darby. We all had a farewell group hug as I went through the terminal to get on the plane. "I'll miss you guys. I'll call you as soon as I land!" I tell them, stepping aboard the aluminum tunnel thingy To get on the plane. they wave to me. I wave back.

I find my seat without trouble. I played with my bracelets a little bit before takeoff. The bracelets were charm bracelets. One was dark blue with six charms and the other was pink with four. The blue one represented the gang back in Tulsa. There was a charm for all of them: a horse for Ponyboy, a bottle for Sodapop, a muscular arm for Darry, a gun for Steve, a smiley face for Two Bit, and a puppy dog face for Johnny. I'd worn it everywhere in LA. No one really knew they had sentimental vaue. to them, jewelry was just decorations. I'd bought it right before leaving fir LA.

The pink charm bracelet represented my friends in Hollywood. My co stars of the show I was on, Where We Are. There was a soccer ball for Halle. She's a tomboy. She talks, acts, and dresses like a boy. There was a book for Wendy. She's was quite the bookworm. Always seen reading. There was a gun for Shannon. She's a major juvenile delinquent. But she's cool. She protects us. and there is a lipstick for Darby. She was such a girly girl.

There was one microphone charm that connects the two. It's supposed to represent me. I have the best friends in both my worlds.

I can't wait until I see the gang again. I haven't seen them in four years.
