13 JUNE 1967
After the walk with Dally, we wentback to the church and found out that it was on fire. We then realise that some of the children were missing and they were in the churcj! I had to save them as I believe that we started the fire. We might have dropped a lighted cigarette or something. So I went on to save them, so did Johnny. Dally was there at the window, pleading me to leave those kids and get myself out. I ignored him and after getting the kids and myself out, I heard Johnny scream and the next thing I knew, Dally hit my back as hard as he could and I fainted.
We were then taken to the hospital. I wasn't in bad condition, so I waited to hear about Dally and Johnny's conditions. While waiting, Darry and Soda came. I was GLAD to see them. Darry sais sorry and I hugged him hard. Minutes later, the doctor said that Dally would be okay after two to three days but Johnny, he's in critical condition. Hiis back had been broken when a piece of timber fell on him. He was in severe shock and suffering from third-degree burns.
OHH JOHNNY, I'M SORRY!
