*gasp*

"Look who's awake." Johnny said

He was holding my hand.

The world was bright around us.

I leaned my head on his shoulder and realized.

I was in my house.. the living room

The tv in front of us.

But it was just us

"Hey Johnny.. where is everyone??"
"They arnt here yet."
"Why? What time is it?"
"There is no time here."
"What do you mean?"

He looked at me.

His eyes soft.

"We never made it out of the fire pony."
"Oh."

"Yeah. I'm sorry."
"It's ok. How's everyone taking it?"
"Not well."
"Oh."
"Darry feels like it's his fault. Sandy was cheating on soda, then he lost us. Dally is still in shock. He might be here soon."
"Oh."

"Did you see it?" He asked
"What?" I wondered what he meant
"Our life."
"Yeah. I did."

"It's beautiful."
"It really is."
"I wish we could live it. But from afar is fine."

"This isn't what I thought being dead was like." Johnny said
"Hm. I did. I always thought you went to your happy place. This is it."
"Yeah."

"So this is it?"  I said
"Yeah. I suppose."
"Are you scared?
"A bit. But I'm glad you're with me. I know it's shitty. But I'm glad I'm not alone."
"Me too. I'm glad we arnt alone."
"I wish they got to see us together. I bet soda would be supportive. I wonder if he is dating Steve?"

"Lets see" Johnny said standing up and Turing off the static of the tv to a new channel

"It's 2 years ahead. Let's skip the sad parts."
"Yeah.."

We looked at the tv to see soda sitting with Steve on the rooftop.

"I guess they did." I said
"I'm happy for them."
"Me too."

"I thought death would be colder."
"Now that I think about it yeah.. I thought we would be ghost."
"But it's just like normal. I'm not cold. I'm not a ghost."

The lights buzzing
wind blowing the curtains
Hearing Johnny breath.

The floor boards creaked as I stood up.

I looked outside

Nothing. Just white plans

I tried to stick my hand out the window but it was like there was glass.

But the wind..

Whatever I'm dead.

Who cares.

I walked over to the fridge

Johnny hugged me from behind

I opened the fridge door and there was pepsi and cake.

"I thought that was funny." Johnny said
"I wonder why"
"I don't think we technically have to eat here."
"Yeah good point."

I grabbed a Pepsi and sat at the table

"So what do we do?"
"Anything. We can play cards. Read. Ride scooters."
"We don't have scooters..."
"Here we do."

He pointed to a cardboard box

He closed it.

"Scooter make it blue."
