Chapter 7 - Just keep waiting , Just keep waiting , Just keep waiting waiting waiting What do we do? We wait What do we do we wait wait wait wait wait

Well, as you can probably guess we are waiting. We have been waiting for a long time now trying to coax da nurses into letting us know the condition of Johnny and Dally. They have been so secretive to us that im starting to get really annoyed. Finally soda said something to the reporters that had been swarming on us from the time we got here. Johnny though was in a bad condition and the press wouldnt leave him alone. Johnny had been in critical condition since the peice of burning wood fell on him. I soon suggested that we should go home and get some sleep but obviously Ponyboy rejected that idea.

Thats when i heared the news I had dreaded for a long time. The government might put Ponyboy and Soda in a childrens home. Soon we are going to the hearing to discuss with the fuzz about Johnny's role in Bob's death. I dont want to get heck from the fuzz so i gotta keep my act clean from now on.
