-Pony's POV-
"Ponyboy get up." I heard Darry call from the kitchen. I groaned, rolled out of bed and put on a clean pair of jeans and a T-shirt. I could smell bacon cooking.
"G'morning" I said walking into the kitchen, swiping a piece of bacon from Soda when he wasn't looking.
"Goodmorni-" Darry tried to respond before being interrupted by Soda
"Pony! Get your own bacon!" Soda yelled as I took a bite. Soda pinned me down and started tickling me. I tried fighting him off me but it was no use.
"Okay, okay truce!" I yelled between laughs. Soda finally stopped tickling me and I playfully swatted him upside the head before stacking pancakes and bacon onto my own plate. As I was eating I remembered that Darry was working right near my school. I figured I could ask him for a ride.
"Hey Dar, will ya drive me to school?" I asked knowing Two-Bit and Steve were cutting class today.
"I dunno, Ponyboy. Couldn't you just walk?" He responded
"Please Dar, I know your roofing a house right near the school." It really wasn't a far walk to school/ but I didn't want to have to walk alone, especially since it had only been a few months since the incident at the park. I would never tell Darry that I might be scared though I knew he wouldn't be mad or anything.
"Okay, fine." Darry sighed. I quickly finished my breakfast before grabbing my books and going out to the truck with Darry.
We rode in silence until we saw it, a car that had just turned the corner was driving on the wrong side of the road. Our side of the road. Everything slowed down, Darry tried to swerve to avoid hitting the car but it was to late. Time slowed down even more as I saw that the car now was coming straight at me. "Darry!" Someone screamed, was it me? I closed my eyes and screamed. Then everything went black.
-Darry's POV-
Crap. My head hurt something awful, I realized I had hit it on the wheel. I turned to look at Ponyboy and flinched at the pain in my head. I gasped when I saw him, He was unconscious and looked half dead, his side crushed where the other car had hit. "Ponyboy?" I whispered. I was terrified for my kid brother. "Ponyboy." I said louder this time. I knew I shouldn't try to move him so I just gently brushed his hair out of his face, still blonde at the end.
Just then a man arrived. "Um, Sir an ambulance is on its way." he said. As if on cue, I suddenly heard the sirens. A nurse came up and opened the door before pulling me out of the truck.
"What? No, I'm fine!" I defended as the paramedic tried to lead me toward the ambulance.
"By the looks of your head you aren't, don't worry, they are trying to get the boy out right now." I gently touched my head and was shocked to see blood. The paramedic lead me to one of the ambulances and next thing I know we're headed to the hospital with Ponyboy in the ambulance behind mine.
Let me know what you think! Sorry i don't know much about medical stuff so sorry if this is inaccurate. I will have the next chapter up super soon!
