Ponyboy was shocked and speechless but most importantly, he was in denial. He pretended that Johnny wasn't dead and believed himself for awhile.
He pretended because he couldn't accept the truth but soon he accepted it. Also, Johnny left him a copy of "Gone with the Wind" and there was a letter inside it. Ponyboy didn't want to read it but he did. :-)
There's more to it about the letter part but that's a different topic

Johnny's note to Ponyboy was important for his healing because it showed Johnny's care and gratitude towards Ponyboy. It made Ponyboy feel valued and strengthened their bond, providing him with comfort and support during a difficult time. Reading the note also allowed Ponyboy to understand Johnny's thoughts and feelings before his death, helping him process his grief and come to terms with the tragedy.
because everything leads up to it
It was definitely Dallas Winston. He had a special relationship with him, and he was the only thing Dally loved. Johnny was his only sign of hope in the world, and when he died, he took the hope with him; triggering Dally's suicide.
The Johnnys was created in 1982.
