Chapter 1
Dally's POV
If I hear anymore Hank Williams tonight, I'm going to kill Buck!
I stormed out of Buck's and hot wire his old T bird without a second thought. I'm going to crash at the Curtis' tonight, as I'm driving down the old beat up street I see a set of headlights swerving every which way knocking over mailboxes as it goes. These stupid idiots need to slow down I think as I pull up to a stop sign, only then do I see it's a mustang. Of course it's a drunk Soc, well the cops aren't going to do anything about him... His lights are headed torts my side of the road he's coming to fast...I can't think of anything as I fall into darkness when I wake up I'm in the hospital. why can't feel my toes? I ask one of the hundreds of nurses that are ALWAYS in my room why can't feel my toes and she gives me a sad smile and tells me that she will get my doctor to come in here and talk to me. a few minuets later a short, fat balding man wearing glasses came in a spoke in a deep loud voice " "Son, a lot of things are going to change for you and I really hate to tell you without your parents here with you." " I was getting angry with all this run around so I said " listen I don't have any parents but I got some good friends, my gang do I need to call them so you can tell me what's wrong with me? He said " That would be better, just to have people behind you that care" "Okay then where's the phone?" "It's on the wall here" as he handed me the phone from the wall. I dialed the number to the Curtis house BRING! BRING! BRING! "Hello this is Two Bit speaking who's calling?" "Hey Two Bit this is dally can I talk to Darry ?" "Yeah hold on Darry! It's Dally, he wants to talk to you!" "Hello?" "Hey it's me . No I'm not in jail I'm at the hospital I got in a car wreak I don't know how I'm doing they won't tell me how I'm doing with out my family here yeah y'all are my family who else would it be yeah bring the whole gang I'm in room 247 at Tulsa hospital see ya soon" CLICK
"Okay I called them, they'll be here in a few minutes..." "okay just let the nurse know to let them in and, we'll talk about this..." Okay okay fine" a nurse came in to tell me that the gang was here. "Let them in "I said and go get the doc she nodded and she left and told them to come in and that the doctor would be here in a couple of minutes, they walked in all of 'um even Two Bits little sister Kayla was here... She is six and I don't know why but that little girl acts like I'm her big brother. She even has a nickname for me but, I made her promise not to say it in front of the gang because it's ... Dallybear.. I asked her once why she called me that and she said it was because my name is Dally and I'm big like a bear, and snuggly like a teddy bear... I told her that guys like me don't like to be called snuggly. Then she started to cry, so I said she could call me that if we were not in front of the gang. The doctor came in and said "okay I'm going to give it to you short and sweet... You're paralyzed from the waist down." "WHAT ! You idiot what do you mean I'm paralyzed!" You are paralyzed from the waist down, your car was hit from the front and it broke your back at your waist, you are the lucky one, the other man was killed on impact... He was drunk and going way over the speed limit your lucky that your just paralyzed.." "LUCKY! I can't even walk on my own! I can't fight, I'm useless!" "Calm Down Boy! At least your alive, the other kid is going six feet under! The last time his parents are going to see him is right before they close the coffin!" "The whole room went silent he hit home... the last time we saw the Curtis parents was right before they closed the coffins ... "Okay doc I understand would you give us a minute?" "Alright tell the nurse if you need me" Okay just go" the doctor walked out Kayla crawled up beside me in the small hospital bed she cuddled up next to me and started to cry it broke my heart so I just told her I would be okay padded her back softly "Dallybear your hurt bad! That's what the doctor said, right? That's why your mad because your hurt bad!" The guys cracked up when she called me Dallybear but I didn't care she needed me and I didn't care what she called me. "Hey quit crying Kaylacat I'm okay" I said as I put her on my lap and started to stroke her light brown hair softly of corse this would be the time Two Bit opened his trap "WOW Dallybear I never thought you could be so soft and gentle with little Kaylacat here" he said with a sarcastic smile, then him and the rest of the guys started laughing agin. "Hey where's Darry?" I said "He said he needed to make a phone call and couldn't here himself think with all of us giggling like Soc girls so he went to the nurses station" "speaking of the devil" I said as Darry and Tim walked in the room. "Tim what are you doing here?" " I could ask you the same thing" " Darry didn't tell you on the phone?" "no he just said that you were in the hospital and you were hurt pretty bad" " oh okay hey guys can me and Timmy here a minute we need to talk" "Dallybear can I stay peas?" Kayla asked " No Kaylacat I think the big boys need to talk by ourselves but see if you can talk Two Bit into getting you some ice cream okay?" I said "okay" she said and Two Bit took her hand as she jumped off the side of the bed. As the door slammed shut Tim sat in the chair beside me "I'm going to be right to the point man I'm paralyzed from the waist down" "WHAT!" "that's what I said I got in a car wreak with a soc he was speeding and, drunk. I was paralyzed he was killed."Darn it man! How are you suppose to ride or play football, if you can't use your legs!" I guess I will just have to stop doing those things. Tim who was still mad but no longer yelling, "you can't just stop living man"." I won't stop living I will just live differently." "By doing what? Staying at Buck's? Now that you can't ride probably not. So, staying at the Curtis's with Darry having to take care of another person? Or are you going to stay with Two Bit, Dallybear and spend your days playing dolls with Kaylacat? Tuff nickname by the way." " Shut it Tim" I growled "I'm just telling you like it is" Tim said you won't be able to defend your rep because you're paralyzed so what's going happen to the big bad Dallas Winston? He's going to be a sissy! No more fighting, no more run-in's with the fuzz and no more be tough!" "That ain't gonna happen man! You've gotta understand there's nothing I can do, this isn't like a broke arm or something I'm stuck like this I hate it too but that's the way it's gonna have to be!" "Stupid Soc's have to ruin everything!" Tim shouted "My family, my car, my day, and, now my best friend!" Wow Tim has never actually said that I was his best friend it just was implied that the two tuffest greasers in Tulsa would be best friends, ether that or rivals and, we had always been buddies. There was a knock on the door "Dallybear I got a surprise for you!" said Kayla through the door, "will you let me come in?". "yeah Dallybear will you let her in..." Tim growled. "hold on just a minute Kayla!" "what's with you Tim your acting like your jealous of a little girl?!" I'm not jealous" said Tim " I've got two days before I go to Nam..."
