In this chapter, the main focus was that Jonny died which caused Dally to get out of control and get killed by the cops.
On page 131, it states “But I knew that was what he wanted, even as the lot echoed with the cracks of shots, even as I begged silently--- Please, not him... not him and Johnny both ---I knew he would be dead, because Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted”
This was important because we are showed how Dally is affected by Jonny’s death and how this pushed him to his own death.
